Looking to set up a basic static website. What domain registrar should I go with? Would prefer something that has more privacy obviously. Any recommendations on hosting services (cannot host on own hardware right now)?

I would need something that has reasonable security, can work with LetsEncrypt SSL certs, and preferably has either privacy respecting analytics or no analytics. Don't want google to bother me or my website visitors.

Are there any robot vacuums/mops that respect privacy; that don't map your house and phone home with the information?

Nah, that was just the cherry on top for me. GOG also refuses to support Linux with their client, delisted a Taiwanese game due to Chinese government pressure, have hedged REALLY close to DRM content like with Hitman...

The cyberpunk 2077 was just another case if acting in bad faith. CD projekt red acts in bad faith. Till they change that, I am sticking with steam

Genuinely cannot tell if you are sarcastic or not.

Should the ChrisTitus Ultimate Windows Utility be officially recommended on Privacy Guides? by unfazedbeaver in c/privacyguides@lemmy.one

I'm not sure its a good idea to recommend in privacy guides if it is a security issue or it breaks things...

Well, he has often had high paying jobs outside YouTube. He started his YouTube channel as an incidental thing. He's not really super reliant on it due to his abilities and resume. I am hopeful he won't jump the shark

That's not how it works, actually. Its more sophisticated. The point is to provide easy access to options for a user that doesn't want to root through the guts of a system

And no, it is more robust than that. This tool doesn't lead to breakage. IT admins use this tool.

And finally, your last suggestions are beyond the ability of the average user

Honestly, we don't deserve some of these good developer folks. We are super lucky to have them.

[Discussion] Favorite and least favorite things about your steam deck by unfazedbeaver in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

Honestly, I love it for what it is. It nails almost everything I want. Yeah it can get a little hot. Yeah the battery should be improved at some point. But I am 100% happy with what I got.

Only thing I don't like is certain devs screaming their eyes out about refusing to support Linux, implementing DRM, and that Linux users are 'cheaters' (we are not).

Its a new market. Embrace it or be left behind, because I am starting to avoid games that don't play nicely with Proton

You can get an executable if you prefer. And the code is on github so you can implement what you like

I do recognize your point about weblinks. But, you can trace what this weblink is going to do, since the code is open source. Nothing has to surprise you

Trust me you don't know the half of it. As far as windows goes, it will be bleed your eyeballs off for how good it is.

Plus, and this is a big thing, you can restore your settings if you nuke something you didn't want. This tool won't bork the system

Oh yeah it is open source too, of course

Just wanna take a moment to let people know about a very, very good and reputable tool for privacy and windows. I personally think it should be recommended on the main Privacy Guides site if you use windows. This is not a substitute for using Linux, however.

Linux is better, but if you have to use Windows, the Chris Titus Tech tool is quite easy to use, extremely powerful, and has been actively developed for a long time. You can set power-user privacy options easily, massively debloat your windows installation, install programs, and easily set your update settings to security only, if that is what you want.

Just wondering about the communty's and mod's thoughts (like Jonah). I've used the tool for a long time and I am always impressed with it, especially as it comes from somebody who has a sterling reputation on computer and Linux know-how

It's also freaky easy to use, and comes from one of the foremost minds in the tech world today.
