  • Its a plague in online games. If its anything like real life I assume that people just get a kick out of doing it and getting away with it. Stomping people and being elitist about it. I guess that’s the reason why people smurf too.

    Like a rich kid feeling better than the rest because dad=rich and your dad is not.

    People can do whatever they want in single player games. Run with infinite ammo, god mode, flying, unlock all skills at lvl 1, increase stats/or resources on demand. I dont care. Maybe it takes the edge off or maybe they want to go through the campaign story without all the grinding after a long day at work or school.

    I’m not complaining. I won’t lose any sleep over it. If it fulfills your power fantasy or whatever. Go for it. You’re not hurting anyone.

    But the people who cheat in online games can piss right off. They’re ruining of for everyone on multiple levels ( kernel AC, online enjoyment, … ).

    I recently saw a documentary clip on how people cheat nowadays with arduinos and PIs to circumvent kernel anti cheat and stuff. It was fucking depressing.

    If you get joy from ruining other people their day you need to go outside, touch some grass and contemplate your life’s choices.

    The same goes for smurfs. If you want to stomp on something then go stomp on very easy bots while they aren’t sentient yet.





  • Anonimity is keeping your identity private, but not your actions.

    Privacy is keeping your actions hidden, but not your identity.

    Using a VPN will hide your IP and make you more anonymous online. Using a personal CC to buy the vpn does not compromise that and does not defeat the purpose at all.

    Only if your specific account ID is compromised could the personal CC be used against you by identifying you. E.g.: “they” found your bad email in an inbox of somebody who is less privacy conscious and are trying to figure out who festybear69@... is.

    It depends on what your use-case/threat model is.


  • I think bitwarden checks all the boxes. It’s 3.33$ per month for a family plan ( 6 users). I’ve used it for a long time and I’m happy with it.

    If you want more privacy you can always self host vault warden and use that. In which case you have full access to the premium features and you just pay the hosting costs.

    Bitwarden can be set as the default password manager in browsers. Stores TOTP codes, has a browser plugin, has android app and iOS app.

    Works flawlessly in my experience ( Linux/macbook/android).

    No experience with iphones, but I assume it is fully supported.







  • There’s also the option of setting up a cloudflare tunnel and only exposing immich over that tunnel. The HTTPS certificate is handled by cloudflare and you’d need to use the cloudflare DNS name servers as your domains name servers.

    Note that the means cloudflare will proxy to you and essentially become a man-in-the-middle. You – HTTPS --> cloudflare --http–> homelab-immich. The connection between you and cloudflare could be encrypted as well, but cloudflare remains the man-in-the-middle and can see all data that passes by.
