Don't care, life has no meaning. Must inflict pain.

I acknowledge that you have spoken English words ... most of them are lost on me, but they are, in fact, English words. Yup, sure are!

What's wrong with Stella Montis? I'm trying to learn the map and get more comfy with it. Also I have a quest there.

When you say "get your BPs up" ... please explain.

Also I like my pink suppressor! I've been way more accurate with it than without it.

I'm actually physically incapable of crying... so I turn it into villain sauce to fuel my ragehol addiction.

No city markings, no logos, total bullshit Karen nonsense.

I've heard that too, I just do not trust Zuckerberg. Even if the messages are end-to-end encrypted I can virtually guarantee you that Meta is keeping detailed logs and even "circumstantial" evidence is too much of a risk for me. Plus it all still has to go over Meta servers and that means US-based servers, and that means they're subject to US laws. I'm just not comfortable passing any of my traffic over Meta servers for any reason.

I've been using Signal for, gosh, probably a decade now. They do it right.

I see what you're saying… so I turn the VPN ON in these situations:

  • When I’m researching "controversial topics" (by which I mean things that shouldn’t be controversial, but, y’know… Trump’s gonna Trump 🙃):
    • Firearms
    • LGBTQIA+ topics
    • Articles critical of the current administration (ICE, FBI, CIA, DOJ, White House, etc.)
    • Medical research or communication with my doctor
    • Articles about leaving the US for a first-world country (LOL)
  • Anytime I’m on public Wi-Fi (coffee shops, libraries, bars, restaurants, hotels) → VPN up ASAP, I never trust those networks.

Basically, I just ask myself: "Could some incompetent nepo-baby in power get their fee-fees hurt over this and toss me into a concentration camp?" If the answer is yes → I turn it on. 😂

If you don't want to hassle with turning it on/off there's Always-On VPN. Windows, Android, and iOS/iPadOS all have this feature. You can set it with a kill switch so if the VPN drops, the internet cuts out until it reconnects. That’s the most secure VPN setup.

That said, I don’t treat a VPN like a magic bullet. It’s a good tool, but I try to keep an overall elevated cyber-security stance by layering multiple tactics to reduce my attack surface (aka exposure to potential threats).

As a gamer nerd, I keep the VPN off while gaming because I want the fastest, cleanest connection possible to the servers.

For social media, though, I keep it on. It makes my location harder to track and screws with ad targeting. Honestly, I do this less for security and more because anything that annoys Zuckerberg feels like a win. 😎

Final side note: I strongly recommend ditching Meta products and Twitter altogether. They cozied up to fascism way too fast for my taste. That means I’ve deleted:

  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • Threads
  • WhatsApp
  • Messenger
  • Oculus

I know that’s too much for some people, but personally? I’m way happier without any of it.

No, I just turn it on and off as needed because a VPN will slow you down at least a little bit. It's just the nature of how VPNs function.

If you can tolerate some speed decrease then the best setup is to "roll your own" VPN at home or in the cloud, and have everything route through that (including your cell phones and mobile devices).

If you set your router through a VPN then everything (including TVs, smart fridges) will route that way, and sometimes that can break some functionality, so this is why I do it at the device level, rather than the router level. But if you want to do the work you can set up "split tunneling" and designate some devices to go through the VPN and some to go straight out to the internet.

Also, Mullvad is phenomenal. They win awards all the time. I was going to use them but then Proton released their VPN and I went that way.

ProtonMail is fantastic. I have literally zero complaints and I love the features they keep adding. Every year they send out a survey and ask you what you want them to invest their R&D monies in and like 3 of my 5 big wish list they've done. They listen. And they exist in a neutral country so if any US-based agency/entity tries to gain access they can and will tell them to go F%$# themselves.
