For us English speakers, what does “geplant” mean?


Not sure if there is something like RClone for windows but backing up your Proton Drive or any cloud/network storage is pretty easy with it


Right now I’m using Bitwarden as my primary password manager Before I switched, I had “all my eggs in one basket”, meaning my 2FA codes were stored alongside my passwords. This is a BAD practice. For one, Bitwarden offers 2FA to secure your account and storing this 2FA code in that very same Bitwarden account is very dumb because once you’re logged out… well… that’s it. Use a 2FA app on your phone. I highly recommend Raivo for managing your 2FA codes on iOS, not sure about Android. Using an app like this compounds your security because someone would have to have physical access to your device AND be able to access the codes on said device (Raivo offers takes pretty strong security measures) AND know your password/have access to your Bitwarden account. Raivo also offers you to export these codes in an encrypted zip file should you wish to back up to cloud storage or directly to your computer (depending on what OS your computer is, it might prove to be challenging moving this file from your phone) I hope this helps! Please ask me any questions if you have them. I’d be more than happy to answer them


VPNs are still worth it for privacy. I look at it as fingerprint protection. I’m not 100% certain if companies fingerprint you via IP anymore, but it’s a nice layer to anonymize my traffic because they don’t know who’s using Sever 3793’s IP.



I understand you’re sentiment, but this is a rather misguided argument. I agree, people should be guaranteed privacy as a right, but that doesn’t mean things that offer privacy and security as a service should be free. The reason google can offer a lot of services for free, especially something as demanding as YouTube, is by tracking you and selling you ads. A private world means more services have to be paid for with actual money instead of user data. I encourage you to pay for some privacy respecting services because it works in everyone’s favor: the devs and admins of that service get more money to better their product, and you get a high quality service. If money is tight, that’s understandable and some of these services offer free tiers. All I can think of is Proton Mail at the moment so you might have to do some more digging, but chances are your options are few. If a VPN or really any service for that matter is not respected in the privacy community or is not reputable, steer clear even if it claims it is privacy respecting and has a free tier.
