Agreed, if there was concern about the data falling into the wrong hands then there’s many different ways to secure the data (encryption w/ a secure enclave, masking, hardening) besides just deleting it. Tesla’s strategy here totally foregoes any typical data retention lifecycle like you mention, which is usually to delete old data that has little to no benefit besides just adding additional risk (e.g. trips older than 1 year or if there’s no space left). Plus you have to take into account the additional consequences you take on by deleting the data locally such as not being in compliance with regulations, and potentially risking sanctions or heavy fines.

Sorry dude I forgot to add your bio signature to my WiFi router.

This is probably the #1 reason I started using qbit and now use it in my homelab’s docker container.

1337x.to was blocked for me today! Even though it doesn’t stream content. Feels like an “enshittification pincer” is happening right now.

Just use WHOIS protection (which should be free, but whatever).

We’re on the same wavelength lol

I’m using Thunderbird. It’s convenient for having multiple inboxes and has a subjectively nice interface without much bloat on it. It has a calendar app which is good for planning too. For email, I have a custom domain+TLD plus an account at purelymail. If purelymail goes dicks up I’m not dead in the water.

I recommend AirVPN. Never had a problem w/ them & doesn’t require a special VPN client.
