Thank you for the detailed answer, I appreciate it!

I wish you the best in that country or yours, take care!

Wonderful advise.

Out of interest, would you mind pointing out where to find such great recycler deals? Do you scroll through ebay or are there better suited sites?

Klingt nach einer coolen Socke

Seems like shadcn on first glance. By now it feels like the new bootstrap.

Da ist irgendwas zwischen süß und witzig :D

I at least don’t know about a VPN provider offering this which is at the same time trustworthy. Instead, they could kind of DIY it by using for example tailscale. Tailscale would allow for using a device as an exit gate. They’d need a device at a friend’s home that is online when they need it but that’s it. An old phone or a cheap raspberry pi would suffice. Wouldn’t even cost a penny (except for the exit gate device)

It is. However, they are… Well, let’s describe them as pretty US like in spirit.

Don’t know, but that’s kind of the point. Even “off is off” isn’t entirely true anymore. So I just don’t know what airplane mode exactly does.

If you don’t want to be tracked down afterwards based on your phone’s location, turning it off will suffice.

If you fear to get arrested, you should just leave it at home or somewhere it cannot be found too easily.

Oh, das ist gut, ich wollte mir demnächst einen neuen besorgen, danke für die Info.

Ich habe inzwischen den Eindruck, dass notebooksbilliger die letzten Jahre über massivst nachgelassen hat. Ist nur ein Eindruck - habe länger nichts mehr gekauft, aber zwischendurch durchstöbert.

Ich würde auch noch galaxus.de (CH) anfügen, außerdem Otto (D). Mit beiden habe ich bisher hervorragende Erfahrungen gemacht.

mountain.gg is German afaik. I’ve got one and I like it.

Nicely written, please keep us posted!

Never heard of them. They seem interesting, will definitely taka a look. Thanks for the hint!

Boy, that’s a bummer. Thanks for the information, I’ve missed that.

Did they? Couldn’t find an announcement on the fly.

I imagine they are THAT scared of their husbands that they want to double check a fact they already know. So yes, deeply concerning…

Firstly, sandboxing is a part of layers of layers of security mechanisms. You cannot tell the overall security by just looking on it. In recent years, a lot has changed in Firefox’ sandbox. I don’t know if it cached up, but I’d guess it has become quite a good sandbox by now.

What is more important for me, however, is the discrepancy in zero days. Chromium just had more in the past. That may be due to the gap on market share and therefore interest of “hackers” but it shows that you can’t just claim that Firefox “sucks ass” and Chromium is safer.

I think there is just a lot of opinion in the internet regarding this topic while not a lot of information.

E: my intention was not to attack you. Security is a complex topic. I just couldn’t verify your claim that Chromium would be “undoubtedly” better.

Why do you claim Chromium is more secure than Firefox based browsers? Where there any security issues Firefox had but Chromium didn’t? Bugs in sandboxing?
