I know free vpns usually are not good, but right now I am not in a position to pay for a vpn. I found Privado VPN and it doesn’t keep logs and is based in Switzerland. It has a data limit for free users, but do you think its safe for torrenting?
Have sadly not checked these out in detail, however they do seem more promosing that the general free vpn one find by looking up “free vpn” on Google Play Store. Neither of them use excessive amounts of permissions, and the permssions they do ask for seem to fair to ask for. Neither of them have trackers implemented too which is nice. I would trust these more than other ‘completelty free VPNs’ atleast. However I’m only judging of first impressions and a quick look at their permissions. I’m assuming they lack features, speed etc…
If you want trust and transparency then options like Mullvad, Proton and IVPN would be my suggestions.
Hi there, as someone who is writing his master thesis on the privacy of fee vpns. I cannot recommend a single one. By that I mean the ones that advertise themselves as being a mainly free vpn. I have not had a look at privado in specific, but would highly recommend sticking to Proton. Their vpn is also fairly priced if you ask me.
Addtionally, if you want to quickly check out an app to see if they use excessive amounts of permissions(based on manifest file), and the implemented trackers they have you can use Exodus Privacy Tool; reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/…/latest/
Hello! I recently listened to a podcast that talked about how storing media files in .av1 format is very efficient and storage-friendly. I’ve been storing my files in .mkv format, but now I’m considering using Handbrake or a similar service to convert all my video files to .av1 if it’s more compressed than .mkv. So;...
Thanks again for the addtitional insights on this! I was indeed planning up picking up an Intel Arc 310 or a 380 later on as they are super cheap and seem to be excellent at hardware transcoding :)
Yeah I simply wasnt aware of this, thought it was smart to change to the latest standards - but comments here have pointed out that its not worth chaning, plus it will change itself over time. Thanks anyways!
I’ve been through the same distro as you’ve mentioned in your post. With my own various issues. I switched to Bazzite a few months ago and could t be happier. It’s by far the easiest Linux distro I’ve used, everything is set to work out of the box and the system cannot be borked. Bazzite also a great community behind it and murliple talanted people pushing this to be the best optimized gaming distro.
While Nobara is great in its own ways, and GE being an absolute legend for his work. I personally don’t see any upsides to using it over Bazzite if you’re mainly going to be playing games.
Do yourself the favour and try this before trying Nobara, just my two cents.
Highly recommend people have a listen to the podcast interview from Darknet Diaries with the founder of The Pirate Bay, it’s highly highly interesting imo.

Our little (6months) Nori girl, has just been to the vet to get castrated. What a champ she was! She’s now recovering from the surgery, giving her unlimiteds (and much deserved) amounts of cuddles....
She low-key fell asleep in the litter box late last night too hehe… Kind of amazed she found her way to the litter even though the drugs were still effective on her.
