I’m not even that interested in kitchenware (mostly) and I still enjoyed that video! Just goes to show how great he is. Hehe.
A bit better-quality version, found via TinEye. :3
It’s Technology Connections.
It’s always worth it. Because
Well, the bottoms of cleets are friction-inducing surfaces, but unless you pour a LOT of soda onto them, they ain’t gonna be sticky.
It’s as simple as that.
There’s a certain point where it just comes down to trust. And if you distrust a company enough that you think they aren’t posting the same code to the git repository that they say they are, then maybe that’s when you shouldn’t be doing business with them.
My apologies. Your comment came off (to me anyway) as the former.
So, I just looked it up and apparently their official stance is that auditing is questionably effective and thus unnecessary:
Our software is free and open source, while we repute at the moment [it’s] not acceptable to provide external companies with root access to our servers to perform audits which can not anyway guarantee future avoidance of traffic logging or transmission to third parties. On the contrary, we deem very useful anything related to penetration tests. Such tests are frequently performed by independent researchers and bounty hunters and we also have a bounty program.
In other words, their reasoning seems to be:
Personally, I don’t agree with points #2 and #3, but point #1 is fair I suppose. In my opinion, it should not be up to the users to hold the company accountable; and there is a difference between penetration tests and log auditing, as the former I believe are merely to check the resilience against outside hacking.
My end impression is that judging from their other documentation and forum posts, the fact that their software is fully open-source, and their past behavior in accordance with their stated values, I think I’m inclined to believe them. However, it is somewhat worrying nevertheless that there isn’t log auditing involved regardless of their actions.
What do you mean? Are they not good for privacy or security? They seem definitely more zealous about that on their FAQs and forum pages than, say, ProtonVPN, for sure.
Fair enough. We all have our preferences. :)
Oh yay. :)
Okay then.
That is so weird. Haha.
ProtonVPN also has port-forwarding.
That being said, last time I tried it, their Linux GUI was abysmal, though I hear they recently did a revamp. I haven’t used it yet though so I can’t speak on it beyond that.
Just something to keep mind.
Edit: Syntax.
I didn’t know that. Thanks!
Which distros, out of curiosity?
Maybe. I’m busy right now.
I might do it later. Maybe I’ll do it on

THANK you for the advice. I will keep that in mind. I might start writing today while I’m at work. :)
Lol, that’s why I said yet. Give it another couple years; we might have started plasma cannons out of toothpicks and bra straps. Haha.
Yeah, that’s the Olympian gods for ya.
There’s a reason almost all of Greek mythology can be summed up in only eight words:
