  • Yeah i hate when I see people using Brave, because they have been brainwashed.

    Does anyone remember when they were injecting their own referral links into links for online stores (99% certain they did this pls prove wrong if you know better)? This alone leaves them with 0 trust in my books.


  • Sadly, using small niche VPNs that might be more trusted makes you stand out more.

    This probably doesn’t matter does it? Because being spotted as a mulvad, airvpn, etc user doesn’t make you more of a target for anything.

    It just means that if they try to trace your connection back to you, they won’t find anything out, because you have a trusted zero-logging vpn.

    Only think I could see is it could potentially be easier to track usage through the ip and assume it’s one person, but idk you could do that with anything if you look at the request timings, etc. It’s still just guesses.

    Am i missing something?

    It’s pretty unusual to have a Mullvad user on your server

    Probably not on the usual sites people visit (youtube, etc, the big sites 99% of ppl go to exclusively), but I can see your point for any smaller site.

    Because 5€ for their current service is overpriced

    Airvpn provide a discount for each extra month you sign up for in bulk which is nice. It’s a great service in my opinion.

  • I’m lucky all the apps I use worked on linux when I swapped over, native or otherwise (through wine).

    Sounds like if you fully migrated over, you’d have to give up quite a lot of software and relearn different tools, which is probably close to impossible (given the ones you listed).

    Hope the Windows 11 transition is at least a smooth one for you!


  • They don’t have to, I was simply providing a solution to a problem they don’t have.

    If they want to, but can’t because of they decade old configurations, this solution could ease the process or allow them to figure out if it’s even a possibility.

    Basically just letting them know they can try it without destructing their existing Windows setup.



  • Slowly switching may be an option for you. You could always dual boot a Linux distro alongside your current Windows install.

    Then once you have Linux running with all your apps, etc, you can see what you’re missing from your Windows install and if you can move stuff over, etc.

    You could even try it in a VM, see if you can set it up in a VM to how you like first before doing the whole install, may or may not be a bit easier (easier in the sense that you can directly compare whatever you do on Windows with the Linux install in a vm).
