Ente is more than alright, I wouldn’t recommend self-hosted solutions to people who do not have the admin experience required, losing something as valueable as photos or videos can be very damaging.

Ecosia has a terrible privacy policy, I analysed it in the past. They are likely in violation of the GDPR, I’m currently considering to file a complaint, they’re still a lot better than Google though, but DDG is privacy-wise superior.

See here why the link you shared isn’t a good source:

And learn more about Threema vs. Signal:

I think your search engine is more than alright. Regarding the rest, I believe it requires no change aslong as you feel satisfied with it.

Why are you telling lies? Have you even read the article?

The title is misleading.

I don’t think so, while the impact wasn’t as great as he and other people wished, it nonetheless had a big impact, many people started to care, just because of what he exposed.

It’s spam by the same person across multiple accounts from the same blog.

Why do you make so many posts linking to the same website?

Best comment so far.

(…) as well as the server you’re reaching out to.

No, the server you reach out to sees the full traffic because that is the server your device is communicating with. It is only routed over the VPN, which acts as a middle person.

A VPN does not strictly hide your location. There is a lot of information that is shared with the websites you visit, e.g. your preferred language, timezone, etc.

A VPN can only change the IP-Address which also reveals information about your approximate location. In my case it is often times a city in another state, not very accurate.

No, thanks.

Glad we’re stealing from people now. /s
