Damn maybe they shouldn't have let the USA dictate the terms of diplomacy in 2022 and sued for peace then. The only deal worse than being America's enemy is being America's "Friend."

So to be perfectly clear, setting up Wireguard is about bridging two LANs (or devices) to make them virtually appear as if they belong on the same network. For every client that connects they would need to be issued a key and every device would have to be set up. But all the traffic between the two "LANs" would be encrypted and secure.

But I don't think WireGuard is what you're looking for, because this would require setting up all these other people with WireGuard as well. Or doing a more complex setup where you use a VPS and WireGuard and have that serve an exit point instead of your home connection. Or any other number of more complex setups that would work but require a lot more effort... and it sounds like you were just looking for basic port forwarding.

Mullvad took that feature away a couple of years ago (presumably to combat CSAM dissemination). So if you were hoping to just have a secure path for someone to connect to your media server routed through Mullvad, I don't believe that's possible anymore.

It's a somewhat convoluted story. Here are some links

The takeaway is when he logged into his Protonmail they logged his IP address which helped track this individual down. But note that Reddit thread I linked. I also cannot find that much information about "what happened next," or the details of who was arrested and why.

There may be other examples, but this particular case kinda hit the rounds back when it happened.

Depending on how you're accessing this, and how many people you're trying to set this up for, it would probably be easiest to learn how to deploy your own Wireguard network. In my case, my phone automatically connects to my own Wireguard on my server (an 11 year old laptop) and whenever I'm on the go I have full access to my LAN + PiHole DNS filtering.

So, what's the point? The point is that you will be able to securely connect to your media server without exposing it directly to the internet, all without paying for a service to do what you can already do yourself, provided your ISP allows you port forward.

It also wants to end the right of California and eight other states to demand tougher emissions regulations than the federal standards that would ban the sale of gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035. Without tough emissions rules at the federal and state level, there would be no regulatory credit sales.

The sale of those federal and state credits has been quite lucrative for Tesla, bringing in $8.4 billion in revenue since the start of 2021 alone, money that basically went straight to its bottom line.

Is this the greenwashing scam companies use to pretend that they are working toward a carbon-neutral production line? They're just speculating on future production and selling today's emissions to today's buyers on tomorrow's promise?

How fucked.

Of course. By giving a big corporation money they then turn around to pay lobbyist groups to advocate for shittier copyright laws that favor big corporations. Why would I pay them for this "privilege?"

Applying the term Rogue State is probably only an excuse to attack in most cases, but it really applies to DRK.

One must add Israel to this. And, by extension, Israel's benefactor: The United States of Impunity. I'd also throw in Russia.

If in the future you think you might bring family/relations onboard to the password manager, it may be worthwhile to pay for a BitWarden family plan. BitWarden is really low-cost and they publish their stuff as FOSS (and therefore are worth supporting), but crucially you don't want to be the point of technical support for when something doesn't work for someone else. Self-hosting a password manager is an easier thing to do if you're only doing it for yourself.

That said, I use a self-hosted Vaultwarden server as backup (i.e. I manually bring the server online and sync to my phone now and again), and my primary password manager is through Keepassxc, which is a completely separate and offline password manager program.

Edit: Forgot to mention, you can always start with free BitWarden and then export your data and delete your account if you decide to self-host.

I've been using them for a few weeks now. Lifesaver as I try to organize stupid bullshit that life forces on me.

Just making sure. I don't think it was always an option on Steam, anyway.
