@welt Was für ein bizarres Drama um #Timmy: Die Retter testen den Sender nicht mal vorab und halten Daten geheim. Und die @welt macht daraus gleich ein Todesurteil, weil das Museum die Aktion als „gescheitert“ einstuft. Kein Beweis, nur Amateur-Chaos und Clickbait-Logik!

Europe Got Your Back"? Let Me Tear This Apart. A Full Privacy Reality Check. I keep seeing this "Privacy Suite Europe" image circulating. Colorful logos, EU map, feel-good vibes. Let me be brutally honest — this is consumer-level privacy cosplay, not OPSEC. And in a field where half-knowledge can get people killed, that matters. Let me go through everything. What's wrong, what's missing, and what privacy actually looks like. 🔴 PROTON MAIL — The Emperor Has No Clothes Let's start with the elephant in the room. Proton Mail. The poster child of every "I care about privacy now" user. Swiss law, end-to-end encryption, no ads. Sounds perfect right? Wrong. Proton Mail recently handed over IP addresses to US authorities. Not Swiss. Not EU. US authorities. Documented. Multiple times. International mutual legal assistance treaties exist and Switzerland is not a legal vacuum. And even if Proton were technically flawless: if the person you're emailing uses Gmail, your "encrypted" message arrives in plaintext at Google. End-to-end encryption only works when both sides use it. Proton is better than Gmail — but it is not an anonymity tool. A false sense of security is more dangerous than no security at all. Better alternatives completely forgotten: Posteo and Mailbox.org. Both based in Berlin. Both under German data protection law. Both GDPR compliant. Posteo can be paid for anonymously with cash. No investor pressure, no growth agenda, no history of data handovers. 1€ per month. Also missing: SimpleLogin and Addy.io — email alias services that keep your real address completely hidden. Essential for anonymous registrations. 🔴 NOT EVEN EUROPEAN — Basic Fact Check You called this "Privacy Suite Europe." Let's check that. Proton Mail — Switzerland. Not EU. Not GDPR. Not European data protection law. The Swiss have their own laws and their own treaties with the US government. This is not a footnote. This is the entire point. Vivaldi — Norwegian browser with a closed-source core. Nobody can fully audit the code. For a privacy tool that is a fundamental problem. Why not LibreWolf or Firefox with uBlock Origin? Qwant — secretly used Bing as its backend for years. That means Microsoft. That means the US. That means the exact opposite of what it says on the tin. Jolla — when did anyone last seriously use this daily? This is a museum piece on your image. 🔴 MULLVAD VPN — Good. But Do You Understand What It Actually Does? Mullvad is one of the most serious VPN providers in the world. RAM-only servers, verified no-logs policy, anonymous accounts, cash and Monero payment accepted. All real. All good. But a VPN only shifts the trust point. You no longer trust your ISP — you now trust Mullvad. That's it. A VPN is a privacy tool, not an anonymity tool. The difference is fundamental. The technically most advanced provider this space has ever seen was Perfect Privacy — NeuroRouting, TrackStop, Multi-Hop across dedicated bare-metal servers in multiple jurisdictions. No virtual servers, no rented IPs. That was a different league entirely. 🔴 WHAT IS COMPLETELY MISSING — The Real Foundation Tor Browser. The single most important anonymity tool in existence. Onion routing across three independent nodes where each only knows the previous and the next — never both simultaneously. No VPN on this planet can replicate that. Journalists, activists, whistleblowers are alive today because they used Tor. Completely absent from your image. VeraCrypt. Local data encryption with Plausible Deniability and Hidden Volumes. A second invisible encrypted volume lives inside your primary volume. Under coercion you hand over the outer password — it contains harmless data. The inner volume is cryptographically unprovable. No forensic tool on earth can prove a hidden volume exists. That's not a bicycle lock. That's a safe inside a safe. Completely absent from your image. Signal. The gold standard for encrypted communication. Open source, end-to-end encrypted, minimal metadata, self-destructing messages. Completely absent from your image. GPG/PGP. The decades-old standard for email encryption. Anyone who wants genuinely secure email cannot get around this. Completely absent from your image. KeePassXC. Offline open source password manager. No cloud sync, no server, no attack surface. Your password database never leaves your machine. Completely absent from your image. 🔴 OPERATING SYSTEMS — The Biggest Omission Linux is on your image. Good start. But which Linux? For whom? In what context? That single Tux logo glosses over the most critical privacy decision you can make on a computer. Tails OS — runs from USB, leaves absolutely zero traces on the host machine, routes everything through Tor, fully amnesic — after shutdown everything is gone. Used daily by journalists and whistleblowers worldwide. Whonix — a two-VM system where one VM is the gateway allowing only Tor traffic and the other is your working desktop. Even if your desktop VM is fully compromised — your real IP stays protected. Qubes OS — security through radical compartmentalization. Every application runs in its own isolated VM. Personally recommended and used by Edward Snowden. GrapheneOS — hardened Android for Google Pixel devices. No Google tracking, sandboxed Google Play optional, maximum hardening. The only sane way to run Android privately. 🔴 BROWSERS & SEARCH — Incomplete and Misleading Vivaldi is on your image. A closed-source browser. On a privacy list. What actually belongs here: LibreWolf — Firefox fork with maximum privacy defaults, zero telemetry. Brave — built-in ad and tracker blocking, fingerprinting protection, integrated Tor mode. For search: SearXNG self-hosted is the gold standard — no tracking, no logs, you control everything. Startpage for Google-quality results without Google surveillance. Brave Search with its own independent index. MetaGer — German non-profit, zero tracking. 🔴 NETWORK & DNS — Completely Forgotten What use is a VPN or Tor if your DNS queries remain unencrypted? DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS are mandatory. Quad9 is a Swiss non-profit DNS resolver with no logs and malware blocking. dnscrypt-proxy encrypts all DNS traffic locally. I2P is an alternative anonymous network alongside Tor with different strengths and a different threat model. 🔴 PAYMENTS — Not Even On Your Radar Monero (XMR) is the only truly privacy-by-default cryptocurrency. Ring Signatures, Stealth Addresses, RingCT. Bitcoin is pseudonymous — Monero is anonymous. For genuinely untraceable digital payments it is unrivaled. And cash. Physical cash. The oldest and still the best privacy payment method. Forgotten entirely by the digital bubble. 🔴 EVERYTHING ELSE YOU FORGOT Cryptomator — encrypts files locally before uploading to any cloud. Works with Nextcloud, Google Drive, Dropbox. MAT2 / ExifTool — every photo you take contains GPS coordinates, camera model, timestamps. MAT2 strips all of it. Used daily by journalists and activists worldwide. YubiKey — hardware 2FA token. Phishing-proof. No software token is as secure as a physical hardware key. Aegis Authenticator — open source 2FA app for Android. Encrypted local backup. Not Google Authenticator. Not Authy with cloud sync. Session — no phone number required, decentralized onion-routing based network, zero metadata. SimpleX Chat — no user IDs whatsoever. Not even a username or number. The most radical privacy messaging concept available today. Briar — P2P messenger that works without internet via Bluetooth or WiFi directly. For internet shutdowns and extreme situations. Faraday bags — physical protection. No phone transmits GPS, cellular or WiFi signals inside one. 🌍 THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IN YOUR ENTIRE POST Europe got your back." No. BND. GCHQ. DGSI. Five Eyes. Nine Eyes. Fourteen Eyes. European intelligence agencies are not friends of your data. European apps do not protect you from European mass surveillance. The German BND has bulk collection programs. GCHQ runs some of the most aggressive surveillance infrastructure on the planet. Privacy is not a geopolitical team sport. Privacy is a universal human right. Not European. Not American. Universal. Owed to every human being on this planet regardless of nationality, citizenship or geography. THE REAL PRIVACY HIERARCHY 1️⃣ Define your threat model — who are you actually protecting yourself from? 2️⃣ Tor for network anonymity 3️⃣ VeraCrypt for local data 4️⃣ Tails or Whonix for sensitive operations 5️⃣ GPG/PGP for email encryption 6️⃣ Signal or Session for messaging 7️⃣ Posteo or Mailbox.org instead of Proton hype 8️⃣ Quad9 + encrypted DNS as baseline 9️⃣ Monero for anonymous payments 🔟 Mullvad as an additional layer — never as a foundation Your image covers maybe 20% of what real privacy means. And a significant portion of what it does cover is wrong or actively misleading. Privacy does not begin with the right app. It begins with the right knowledge. @torproject @mullvadnet @monero @VeraCrypt_IDRIX @signalapp #Privacy #OPSEC #Tor #VeraCrypt #GrapheneOS #TailsOS #Infosec #Posteo #Mailbox #Signal #Monero #QubesOS

TeamSpeak 5 is admittedly not the easiest platform to get into at first, but once you have familiarized yourself with it, everything runs smoothly. Particularly noteworthy is the integrated chat in TeamSpeak 5. Shared links automatically generate a preview – YouTube videos can be played directly within the chat, and images, GIFs, and emojis are displayed in a clean and appealing way. I was able to effortlessly start a gaming stream and share it, allowing others to watch or join directly. The audio and video quality was excellent and can be individually adjusted to suit your needs. In terms of security, TeamSpeak uses end-to-end encryption, further complemented by AES encryption, which is considered exceptionally secure. This makes users significantly less vulnerable to attacks compared to other platforms. It is no coincidence that numerous authorities in the USA and Europe rely on TeamSpeak as their primary digital communication tool – including NASA, one of its most well-known enterprise clients. The mobile app is equally impressive. Since I operate my own TeamSpeak server, I have full control at all times – an outage is virtually impossible, as the server is protected by a reliable DDoS protection system and all critical infrastructure is set up with multiple redundancies. On TeamSpeak, you are in charge of your own server and are not subject to any arbitrary moderation. By comparison, Discord falls notably short in several areas. Certain audio and video quality levels are locked behind a paid subscription. Over the past few months alone, Discord has experienced multiple outages and security incidents – one genuinely has to wonder how their operations are managed when servers crash on a regular basis and security vulnerabilities continue to pile up. Particularly concerning is Discord's reporting system. Entirely harmless content – a photo of a meadow, a picture of a PC, or a non-malicious piece of code – can be reported by other users, resulting in an immediate account suspension without any review of the actual content taking place. Reinstatement is only possible after contacting support, which can take several hours to respond. That is simply unacceptable.

@Byte0x90 @PopBase @discord @teamspeak and these features are indeed good. however if your not using it for videogames and instead are using it with tuppers for rp stuff or dnd then its less than ideal. whats more as stated the ui is unintuitive as i made an account with teamspeak and had no idea what i was doing.

🤣 Why TeamSpeak is the better alternative to Discord: 1/7 TeamSpeak 5 can do everything Discord can: video transmission, gaming streams, encryption, link previews for videos & photos. On top of that, there is end-to-end encryption in chat – plus a built-in server encryption that just needs to be activated. 🔒 2/7 For TeamSpeak 3 you don't need an email address – you're anonymous from the start. TS5 does require an email, but privacy remains the focus. No age verification, no unnecessary data. The only things stored are your IP and a one-time generated hardware ID. 👤 3/7 You can set up your own server for free on Linux with Docker – it even restarts automatically. Free servers support a max. of 32 slots. Need more? Simply apply for a Non-Profit license – which gives you up to 512 slots. 🖥️ 4/7 Free servers are also available on Amazon AWS and Oracle. If you need more power and DDoS protection, you can rent a root server at active-server – starting from €4.90 per month. TeamSpeak servers barely need any resources – that's the decisive advantage. 💡 5/7 In TeamSpeak you can also create groups – public or private, with end-to-end encryption. And the best part: you don't need to be a server owner to do so. Full control for everyone. 🛡️ 6/7 If you run your own server, you're almost never affected by outages or hacker attacks – because there's simply nothing to steal. Discord on the other hand has been hacked multiple times, and the data quietly disappeared under the rug. Most recently with the age verification debacle – I just thought: here we go again. 🤦 7/7 Trolls or troublemakers? Just ban them by IP and hardware ID. And if anyone still has doubts: even NASA and major corporations use TeamSpeak. If that's not an argument, I don't know what is. 🚀 #TeamSpeak #Discord #Privacy #Gaming #Cybersecurity

This is urticaria, better known as hives. It can be recognized by the typical raised, pale welts on the skin—as can be seen on the forearm in this picture. What is happening in the body? The immune system reacts to a trigger (allergen, stress, medication, food—often unknown) and releases large amounts of histamine. This causes the skin to swell, itch, and form these characteristic welts. What helps? Cetirizine 10 mg – an antihistamine that blocks histamine receptors and stops the reaction. It is available over the counter at any pharmacy and costs very little. For most people, it helps within 1-2 hours. If cetirizine is not enough: See your doctor – they can prescribe oral cortisone (prednisolone), which suppresses the immune response systemically.

I’d be careful with that; those could be fake emails. You should clarify this with Hetzner first. As long as you've secured your server properly and you're sure no one has taken it over, you don't really need to worry. If those really are fake reports, you just need to write them an email; they'll block things like that in the future. If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. I’ve never actually had any issues with stuff like that. Alternatively, you could just change the IP address. Should it happen again, you either have someone abusing your server, or it’s actually a bot—I couldn't explain it any other way.

3 fake abuse reports in 24 hours on my Hetzner server All SYN IP spoofed packages port scanning on port 22, which isn't me because it's just spoofing my IP Every day I have to reply to @Hetzner_Online now that it's not me, I can't port scan 22 outbound, because I have 22 outbound blocked on their firewall, if I don't reply within 24h my IP gets blocked! I guess I need to speak to someone at Hetzner internally to fix this because the internet has lots of ppl that get this issue If Hetzner can fix this, they'll be a great host for the future I think

Any way I can avoid my IP getting spoofed? Can hosting providers check if abuse reports are based on real or spoofed packages?
