  • you could look into other ways of pirating, that don’t necessarily require a vpn, instead. in may country it’s mainly problematic to use torrents, because you automatically are sharing stuff as well. IRC is something that I never had a problem with, for example. you’re only downloading and it doesn’t cost you anything. there are xdcc search engines out there. The downsides are that it’s a bit nerdy (is it a downside. though?) and you’ll mostly find current mainstream content.











  • I’m hosting Vaultwarden, the obvious benefit is that you get all the Bitwarden features that Bitwarden has you paying extra. It’s also more lightweight and easier to setup than Bitwarden itself (although I’ve not tried it myself, so don’t take my word for it). Vaultwarden was very easy to get up and running, upgrades are easy as well, documentation is good and backups are easy to create and restore from. I’m very happy.





  • I really don’t think this post deserves all the downvotes. I mean I get how you might feel differently about all or some of the topics the OP brings to the table, but it’s not unfounded and certainly an interesting discussion.

    For me, especially the part about sexism in Enterprise really resonated - I have always felt that this is among the worst aspects of the show. I also see points in mpst of the other criticism, although I think part of them can be interpreted differently. For example Section 31: Starfleet has not been a pure utopia since a long time, it’s at least bureaucratic most of the time, with an even dimmer view on it in later series. Section 31 fits in there for me. I don’t require stories to see the story through moral eyes, that can be a (sometimes painful) exercise left to the viewer. I don’t know how much and when this is intended by the series, though.

    In any case, I think it’s well worth the discussion and ai’d like to thank the OP for the energy they spent in laying all this out.
