For my Americans across the pond, I ask earnestly:
What could Russia do today that would cement themselves as an unparalleled oligarchy where just a few people control everything with no regard for anybody else in their country, that the US isn't already doing?
Yep, this is the explanation. People are still trying to rationalize "why do this in months, its all gonna collapse!" not understanding that collapse is the actual point.
Hey!
For storage/note taking I use Filen.io (German), pretty cool and affordable. Have no complaints, and they have a Linux native app also.
I found OVH quite confusing. Do they upsell you like crazy (e.g. is WHOIS protection an upsell)? I don't want to create an account on purpose just to find out.
Seriously. I'd be ashamed of being a Trump supporter and show my face in public. So embarrassing.
And even more so now that it's pretty clear that he's barely sentient and Musk is the actual poorly hidden shadow president.
All excellent recommendations too. Hats off to Proton!
What's up with everyone in this comment section shilling registrars with abysmal customer reviews? Lol. The only one that even has remotely good reviews is Mythic Beasts.
Anyways, I'd like to recommend IONOS (German). Their service has been flawless so far, and I haven't seen any reports of bad customer either.
Those reviews don't look very inspiring, not gonna lie. Also, their About page says their service is run from Costa Rica?
Ultimately I don't think these "privacy-first" domain registrars are a great choice, which is a rare thing to say about an internet service.
But you're dealing with private property here and being ICANN-accredited (which Njalla isn't) is kind of important if you're gonna do something serious with your domain. You want those protections that excessive privacy won't permit having.
Ah, the threatened oligarchy is at it again. I'm sure its purely a coincidence and not at all a retaliation for people abandoning big tech en masse.
This is basically it. It is just harder to run a fascist oligarchy these days. People are way too connected and are sympathetic to other people from other countries. The propaganda can only go so far.
You guys should be out on the streets protesting en masse. Being complacent is the same as showing you're okay with all of these.
Meanwhile actual americans are being pulled into unmarked vans for looking latino.
Yeah, in the end I managed to make it work. Quite cool. I wanted to set it up in such a way that all EU SEs get a tick every time I search for something but sadly it seems Startpage is giving me issues.
