PSA - Here is some good info about which VPN to choose. If you see your VPN provider in the list of ones owned by huge companies, you should switch immediately. My choice is Mullvad, 5 euros/month, no logs whatsoever.



Thanks, I'll take a look :hatsoff:



I'll add: if a VPN is free, it's probably a honeypot.

If it advertises on hundreds of YouTube channels, they probably hand over info to law endorsement with a request, not even requiring a warrant.





ProtonVPN = awesome free VPN. - A small limitation/issues when streaming + that you cannot choose country yourself, but great for what we do here, I love it. (The paid version is top-tier)

NordVPN = expensive if you buy it right of the bat, but just hold it for the trial period, subscribe to it and let it run out. Eventually they'll drag you in with a 80% discount on the 2-3 year period if I recall correctly. I'd say that's the best paid VPN. (Only negative is the requirement for an account)

Both of the above are audited and transparent.
If you can afford it, I really recommend going for the paid version of Proton, unless you choose NordVPN.


Stay the heck away from these:

• Hola VPN
• Betternet
• TouchVPN
• TurboVPN
• SuperVPN
• FlashVPN

I second the Nord VPN. I have the 3 year Nord and I think it was like $99. This is actually my second 3 year contract with them.

Y'all know that corporate VPNs are not the way, right? Proton, Nord will both run to the authorities with the needed logs to take someone down.

It's hard to get one outside of the 14 eyes countries, but as long as they are independently owned, you should be ok. Mullvad is the move for opsec. Other ones mentioned are probably fine for streaming, etc. but I wouldn't send PII over them myself.

Opening or not opening a tub for a picture affects nothing.  If you want a clear answer, open the tub and take a clear photo.

Yes. Correct. I said that, then people jumped in and praised 2 corporate "advertise on all the YouTube channels" ones that are known to be sketchy with giving out info, even without a warrant.

Thank you for chiming in.

Also, every VPN that claims to not keep records is lying. they need to keep records to solve technical problems or billing problems.

Best is to buy space on a bare metal server, pay for it with Monero, and run your own VPN.

The bigger ones are also the main targets for people hacking them to get their user info.

The main reason some VPNs are not safe, even when not handing over info, is so many of them have been hacked that you can buy all of it for not much and individual records for pennies, to find out who used what IP at which time and date, and what their real name, home address, home IP is.

That's how governments often get that info, and it's how angry teen gamers get info to SWAT someone who kicked their butt in CSGO and then mushroom stamped their face to humiliate them.

I also recommend people here read "arrest proof yourself" book. I posted a PDF here;

Dramatic, much?

If some teenage mutant ninja NSA agent who lost a COD match — because I dropped a MOAB/Nuke — decided to hack NordVPN and launch a full-scale op just to pass my info to the government and send special forces to kick down my door over a tub or plate I posted… I’d give him a medal for effort.
So much harder than simply rigging the game...

I mean, I get it, better safe than sorry.
But you’re getting into far-fetched, whistleblower, Snowden-level paranoia here.

Just keep your heads down and stay safe. But let's not pretend CIA is tracking your shoebox.
The sky is not falling, hell is not raining down on you, and you personally aren't the government's top budget priority.

Just don't get caught up in any other dumb shit and you'll be fine.
If you want to arrest-proof yourself, you should never had signed in here with your personal computer using your personal Internet in the first place.

Don't draw any attention to yourself, and you don't really have to bunker down like Snowden.


And let’s be honest — if the government actually decides to throw Pegasus at you, no VPN or opsec fantasy is going to save your ass anyway.


(Great read BTW, I recommend that to everyone! I'm glad you share that one often, Nektar 🌹)

I have some millet 1/2 pint jars I transferred agar to two weeks ago. They are looking dry and seem to be growing slow, but growing. Should I add a little water or just wait It out?

Is anyone else a celiac? Or suffer from IBS or crohns, any bowel issues really and have a secret formula for reducing stomach upset?

I usually wait for when I'm feeling alright but the window of opportunity to trip never seems to open up for the past 6 months :sad:

My daddy has the IBS.
Had a fever as a lad and needed to have a piece of intestine removed.
He drinks Lactaid in place of any milk.
Might be a good place to start.

I got IBS pretty bad.  Making tea and not consuming the material helps a bit, but the older I get the worse the results.  They're harsh on the tum, that's for sure.

nope, I thought more about it and spending the time to fully correct things with context and ELI5 doesn't pass a personal CBA.  I dont want anyone getting in any trouble but getting into a protracted discussion about information security on shroomery would feature high on a list of stupid ways to spend my time, so I'll sit back and watch.  :smile:

I edited my above comment.  sorry to everyone to contributing to this derailing of the thread topic.
