Every flag is black in a fire!

"The black flag means negation, anger, outrage, mourning, beauty, hope, the fostering and sheltering of new forms of life and relationship with this earth. We are proud to carry it, sorry we have to, and await the day when such a symbol will no longer be necessary."

Rightwing fascist losers are the national security risk

#VivaldiBrowser team has just released a new desktop update, Vivaldi 7.5

I personally love the new smooth way of interacting with Speed Dials and Dashboard elements (Widgets), the new Mail and Calendar look, as well as the new Ad Blocker supported rules (badfilter, strict3p, and strict1p).

P.S. Related to the **real bugs** hotel: vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-on-de…. Does anyone know where I can find the #drill in the photo? I like it. It must be as powerful as #VivaldiBrowser. Maybe it even has a button to change its colour 😀
Please, do you know where to get it from? Possibly on the Vivaldi Store? TY!🙏

BRICS has expanded to 20 countries – 10 members and 10 partners – after adding Vietnam. BRICS+ now makes up 44% of world GDP (PPP) and 56% of the global population. The US failed to divide China and Vietnam in its Second Cold War.

I never said it wasn't political, every trade agreement is political. What I said is #BRICS is not a military or political alliance it is an alternative system of multi polar trading free of interference from the current US hegemony system where international trade requires trading in US dollars.

For example, New Zealand, which is not even a #BRICS member country, has a FTA with its biggest trading partner China that means NZ and China can freely trade with each other in their own currencies.

I have no idea what argument David is trying to make. His initial comment was that BRICS doesn’t appear to be a unified bloc pointing to the relationship between India and China. Which is why I pointed out the fact BRICS is not a political or military alliance but a cooperative economic system of trade.

USA’s 3 largest trading partners are Mexico, Canada, and China. It would be ridiculous to assume this makes these countries a unified political bloc.

Ironically, since Trump introduced his tariffs India, Japan, South Korea and the ASEAN member nations have all agreed to increase their economic and political cooperation with China.

Best privacy preserving measures


Considering the current intrusive cyber climate, what are the best ways to preserve privacy?

For example, I have been exclusively using a VPN connection network-wide at home setup on OpenWrt, which in turn has a PiHole as its DNS, with the PiHole using Unbound and NextDNS (redundant I know, but I use it to encrypt my requests more than anything else).

I also have Wireguard setup so I can VPN all my devices to my network while I am on the road (also have a NextDNS profile installed. Yes I know, it’s redundant).

I also basically have all my “smart” devices (TV, lightbulbs, air purifier, etc…) at home cutoff from the internet using OpenWrt’s firewall to prevent them from calling home.

I rotate web browsers frequently to try and attempt avoiding getting fingerprinted, not sure how useful that is.

I switched email providers to mailbox.org because f*** Google and Microsoft.

I also am hosting my own cloud drive on Nextcloud to avoid using services like GDrive, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc…

I own Apple devices which aren’t the best for privacy but migrating from a whole ecosystem that I have been embedded in for MANY years is easier said than done. Hopefully in the future that’s my next move.

I feel like there is a lot more I can do but I am not sure what else. I would appreciate any and all suggestions ya’ll might have.
