If you need to back up less than 10 GB, you can back up your data to Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage for free with their b2 sync command. I use this in a cron job daily or hourly, depending on the data being backed up.

Was just coming in to explain this. There’s a ton of context that these articles/videos are leaving out.

However, it’ll still be interesting to watch and see how much they are able to use the evidence of “this person uses Signal, Tor, etc.” in court to prove their guilt. I’m not familiar with the French legal system, but I’m hoping that these security practices aren’t going to be used as evidence of guilt. That would be a troubling sign.

I think you’d be surprised how many people still want to read about others’ experiences with non-beginner distros and which ones present challenges or features that they’re looking for while choosing a distro.

Great post, I would tend to put them in a different order but it’s a good list to start with. Next post should be on distros for those users to try who feel they’ve mastered the beginner distros and want a challenge or more customization.

I have a handful of invites if anyone’s interested. Just shoot me a message and I can give you the link.

I self-host my own SearXNG instance and haven’t had any errors like that in the ~6 months it’s been running. It’s just anecdotal evidence, but I would imagine any such low-traffic instance would be able to avoid the blocking and other issues that high-traffic instances run into.

Mobile or desktop? Libredirect on desktop allows you to enable a ton of pre-populated Searx instances in the Search category, so it will use any of the enabled instances in your list.

I don’t believe it picks based on reliability but it at least saves you the time of manually picking/editing your instances. If one is troublesome, just remove it from the list.
