Does this include my account (Imnecomrade@spectreofcommunism.boo), or do I have to make another?

I prefer to post invidious links for people’s security and privacy. I know it’s annoying if it doesn’t work for you. Maybe try a VPN or just change the link from “inv.nadeko.net” to “www.youtube.com”.

The judicial system is such garbage. Finding a “neutral” jury just means you get a bunch of cop-loving people with a shitty centrist bias that end up locking people in prison even when the evidence showed otherwise. If most people lean a certain way, perhaps their opinion should count.

I like that they used librespeed.org

Exactly. I just put a disclaimer there because it sounded a little distasteful without it, at least for anyone new who didn’t know my beliefs. I just wanted to be clear I’m not relishing in the genocide of a people for sake of radicalizing people.

When I first listened to the video, I was also thinking about how Bernie just keeps repeating his same old lines, sounding pathetic as the masses, who have further developed class consciousness over the past decade, are not putting up with the censorship and ongoing whitewashing of the genocide. They demand radical change which Bernie is straying away from as he compromises more and more with the far right democrats and republicans while refusing to put up any fight.

Messages like the rich need to pay for their fair share aren’t enough. The rich systematically maintain a system through violence and austerity to keep their power and wealth, instilling bigotry and reactionary ideas among the masses to keep them competing and working against each other, and dismantling rights fought and won by previous movements. As Parenti said, the people really want to be liberated from the bourgeoisie’s control and domination of their lives. They are tired of struggling for survival. Bernie’s pathetic fight for concessions are not enough. The people want full liberation, to finally dismantle a system which perpetuates horrors that no one should ever have to experience, and they want to replace it with one that will ensure it never returns.

I’m honestly glad the crisis the Palestinian genocide has created (of course, I believe this goes with saying, I wish it never had to come to this and that Palestinians were free from the beginning and never faced settler occupation and this holocaust nightmare) has happened while Bernie is still alive. It has turned so many people against Bernie and other socdems, undoing much of the harm they caused toward the socialist movement and finally radicalizing people who would have been radicalized earlier. I’m glad Bernie will have to die knowing he’s a monster who perpetuated genocide, and that people are beginning to not settle for an imperialist social democracy but for actual revolution to dismantle and replace this horrific system of oppression that threatens humanity’s survival.

It saddens me to see dementia worsen in Parenti. He was a brilliant man, and I hope the last years of his life are as peaceful as possible.

Same band to tell people to vote Hillary Clinton. Supporting Palestinian liberation is pretty low bar at this point, and it’s not uncommon for libs to support “Free Palestine”. Nevertheless, Green Day has been supportive of the working class and has some revolutionary themes within their songs, so maybe Billie is radicalizing.

I prefer IDLES at this point, but I did grow up listening to Green Day, as have other comrades here and irl, so I do agree this was nice and a bit unexpected to see. They did the bare minimum while most mainstream artists haven’t, though it’s a bit late and would have had more impact closer to October 7th.

I’ve worked at a company that did injection molding, and they made people have to work at superhuman speeds with equipment that continued to give injuries. Part of the reason is because they would collect data from the fastest person on the machine and expect everyone else to work as fast. The mentors who were being timed caught on and started working slower to make the pace less ridiculous. Management would also let go of people who had injuries because they didn’t want to pay for it.

Personally I would like to work in a semiconductor factory as an engineer or even start in an entry level position. Probably won’t happen in my lifetime if I stay where I live, and it will probably become more difficult to achieve in Amerikkka as tarriffs lead to domestic industry crumbling while the working class begins to lose access to basic necessities like education and healthcare. My dream at this point is revolution or move to China, if I even survive.

Here’s a slightly better image:

Chengdu in particular is still blurry, so I found a better image and resized and optimized it to be within Lemmygrad’s max allowed parameters for images:

LinuxRuleZ (who is a moderator and major contributor to torrminatorr.com) rocks. Their packaged Linux native and Wine prefixed games work nicely with the Steam Deck (though sometimes I have noticed the Wine ones are broken). Make sure to seed their torrents as they are not up for very long, and they delete their old builds because they cannot sustain the storage requirements.

I think they–actually maybe the adminstrator of torrminatorr.com, I thought LinuxRuleZ was the host because they are very prolific and people mention the administrator’s sites mainly to get LinuxRuleZ’s repacks–also host zamunda.se (also other domains/mirrors exist, but this one is possible to create an account successfully atm), and have been working on a new site appnetica.com.

While 1337x is too risky from pirate from, and this creator’s repacks don’t work with the Steam Deck due to the immutable OS which also lacks various linux packages, I think johncena141’s repacks are pretty cool because they use DwarFS, a virtual filesystem like FUSE that has some of the best possible compression ratios and speeds possible, for their repacks. I saw redditors complain about this person’s repacks being too difficult and complex, lol, but I think this is one of the best ways to use open source tech for Linux piracy. This honestly inspires me to learn to crack my own games and software and create nicely packed torrents.

I guess some of my posts that should have been crossposts between lemmygrad and hexbear either haven’t fully synced, or maybe won’t automatically sync due hexbear federation going down for a few months. Would be nice if lemmy had this feature if it doesn’t already.

🥲 Our peoples have reunified once again.

Some of my feedback in the past regarding Proton and why you should avoid it:

https://hexbear.net/comment/5674053

Mullvad, IVPN, and AirVPN all support crypto. They all do not require email accounts, too.

I do not recommend Proton for many reasons.

They support Israel.

https://proton.me/support/protonmail-israel-radware

https://protonvpn.com/blog/israel-vpn-servers/

They supported the 2020 Hong Kong protests.

https://protonvpn.com/blog/hong-kong-servers

This comment from Lemmygrad explains why Proton may be a honeypot and to be wary of VPN services in general.

https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/361523

Here is a list of potential issues with ProtonMail (including their onion site deanonymizing Tor users when they create an account by redirecting them back to their .com address):

https://encryp.ch/blog/disturbing-facts-about-protonmail/

Some practical reasons I don't recommend Proton

• Port-forwarding on linux is shoddy.
• Proton treats Linux and its open source community as second-class citizens.
• ProtonMail Android app is slow as hell. Takes several minutes to load an email and is basically unusable.
• 3+ year old issues never get fixed: https://github.com/ProtonMail/proton-bridge/issues/180

https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/3306884

I want to get rid of ProtonMail eventually because they may be a honeypot.

1. Protonmail Behaves like a CIA/NSA “Honeypot”

Protonmail has an Onion domain that allows users to visit their site using the TOR browser. Protonmail even has an SSL cert for that onion address even though it’s completely unnecessary. When a user makes a new account with Protonmail on TOR they are re-directed from Protonmail’s “.onion” to “.com” address. This breaks your secure encrypted connection to their onion address, enabling your identification. There are absolutely no technical reasons for this feature. In fact, the only other websites that operate like this are suspected NSA/CIA Honeypots.

This is a huge security issue that was either created because Protonmail is managed by Particle physicists who do not understand computer security OR they have been forced to operate their website in a similar way as CIA/NSA honeypots. Both possibilities are serious concerns.

I’m planning to self-host my own email service, but that comes with its own problems, including major email services banning most IPs that are not other mainstream email providers for the sake of “spam protection”.

https://vadosware.io/post/its-never-been-easier-or-harder-to-self-host-email/

https://cfenollosa.com/blog/after-self-hosting-my-email-for-twenty-three-years-i-have-thrown-in-the-towel-the-oligopoly-has-won.html

To hopefully counter this and to have a separate email for payments required to be able to host my own email service, I have an email on macaw.me and monocles.de (about monocles).

https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/3307267

Tutanota mail is an alternative to Protonmail, but you can’t use another email client like Thunderbird. There’s some more options listed in this link:

https://www.privacyguides.org/en/email/

As I suggested before, macaw.me offers free email, and monocles.de offers free and paid encrypted email (both use Roundcube webmail).

Here’s a list of email providers that work with Delta Chat:

https://providers.delta.chat/

Here’s a list of email providers that work with dismail.de:

https://dismail.de/serverlist.html

I have been on the search for another larger and more developed email provider as a backup for instances when I can’t use my other emails because they are blocked by some services or an entity I need to interact with. Here’s a list of email providers I have managed to find for you:

• cock.li (Vulgar, but has less vulgar domain name options, and they claim to be more transparent and honest, but I get some right-wing libertarian vibes from this service as I learned about it from Mental Outlaw (yeah, I know I watch some cringey tech channels, but I learn some helpful device from them, which is the only reason why I still watch them on occasion))
• Fastmail (Proprietary, but they contribute to open source projects, and their JMAP standard project is pretty interesting)
• Forward Email (Free/paid and open source, including the backend, and quantum-safe encrypted)
• Mailbox.org (Proprietary)
• Maildrop (Free and open source throwaway email service)
• Migadu (Proprietary, but built with open source software and has some open source repositories (GitHub), but forced free tier users to switch to a paid tier within one month during the pandemic)
• MXroute (Proprietary, but built with open source software and has some open source repositories (GitHub))
• Runbox (Proprietary, but built with open source software and has some open source repositories (GitHub))
• Swisscows.email
• systemli.org (Apparently it’s only available by invite link, and you have to be a leftist and know someone willing to give you an invite link)
• Zoho Mail (Proprietary, but has some open source repositories (GitHub), have a good reputation, and also provides services such as an office suite, though their services are business oriented)

Keep in mind I haven’t done much research on these email services to be able to recommend them. I am posting whatever I find, and hopefully someone may be able to make a comment or you will be able to research more about them to see if they fit your needs.

Here’s a short list of email providers:

https://github.com/cdransf/awesome-email

I’m going to post this as it lists some email resources, testing tools, etc. even though the curated list is more intended for self-hosting email and email design:

https://github.com/jonathandion/awesome-emails

For VPNs, I would suggest using:

• Mullvad
• IVPN

I probably recommend ForwardEmail as that is what I am switching to soon, but I heard some of its security features and claims are a bit gimmicky, and SQLite may not be scalable if you have a lot of email with large attachments (this would be a large company’s worth of email, so small groups and normal users would likely be fine). I may consider self-hosting my email (at least to archive my mail) as well using Stalwart, and it’s built in Rust and can use different databases like SQLite and MySQL but more importantly PostgreSQL.

If you care about languages the VPNs I recommended are built in, I saw Mullvad is built in Rust, IVPN is built in Go, and AirVPN, which I have now for torrents because it can do port forwarding, is built in C#.

Mullvad is cheaper than IVPN, and both are nearly the same.
