I think when you start looking at how expensive other forms of green energy are (like wind) long term, nuclear looks really good. Short term, yeah it’s expensive, but we need long term solutions.
I doubt prices go down, but they may go up slower and it’s a win for small business.
Yeah and my guess is that they’d be less private because if they act as a transmitter, I think they could potentially be triangulated.
Yeah it’s not as secure but it has privacy advantages since there’s no 2-way communication.
Wow what a crappy article, the blog post should be what is posted instead. Not even a mention of out of date software in the article. This is clearly not a Tor issue.
They are receive only devices that work using radio signal. Messages are sent using a transmitter of some type. I understand this is a very basic description, I’m not an expert, just have an interest in telecommunications related things.
I think the easiest would be to downgrade to the 350mbps plan and see if you can even tell there is a difference. If you do a lot of downloading of large files (Linux isos and steam games) those will go slower. Anecdotally, I’m a software developer who works from home and I have never felt an upgrade from my 300mpbs plan to be necessary, but I don’t download a ton of large files very often and this decision obviously takes into account my personal income and expenses.
The nice thing about FreeTube and Invidious is that they don’t use the YouTube API and the most YouTube can do (at the moment) is issue takedown requests. You can just self-host invidious (which I believe FreeTube uses). The code is unlikely to be taken down as YouTube-dl has successfully fought off those takedown requests.
I just downloaded FreeTube today after seeing that.
I don’t know the answer to your question, but I have never heard of these alternative protocols. Thanks for giving me something new to go learn about.
