Thank you for sharing this!

Of course such measures are much simpler than fixing the current education system, which is the root cause of lack of critical thinking and self-control.

Take a look at XnView, it has batch capabilities of that kind, which you can set up through a graphical interface. Ships for linux too.

Thank you for the feedback! I’ve asked because at first I thought of sharing this satire piece which I found very funny. But suddenly wondered if that would have been OK or not – don’t want to ruin what the users expect by subscribing to this community.

Good to know, thank you!

Cheers. It seems the best and maybe only option indeed.

Let me tag you a welcome to the fediverse! 🙌

PS: there seems to be a good explanation here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/1g85476/guide_do_i_need_portforwarding/

Thank you for this piece of info. OK that’s also confusing, from what I understood, seeding is not possible without port forwarding? I have to go and fact-check again about this. Maybe test both Mullvad and ProtonVPN for one month… If I do, I’ll report with a post here.

I’d immediately go with Mullvad, if they had port forwarding. I’m considering Proton for VPN (and nothing else), but it’s really disconcerting how disparate is the range of opinions about Proton VPN. No idea where the truth is. Probably I’ll just try the monthly subscription, so I can test and leave immediately if it doesn’t work.

Any news about this?

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Cheers, have been using it for quite some time :)

Thank you for the updates! I agree that they should simply state a clear data limit, given that they have one. One of my concerns about them is their being based in Canada, Five Eyes. Although I wonder how’s the Five Eyes situation now, given the present political storm.

I saw they spreadsheet was last updated 2020. Wonder what happened to them.

Absolutely. I’ve heard other positive user comments on Windscribe.

This was another good one, thanks!

Very little that can be inferred indeed. They use linear regression to quantify correlations, that is they assume that relations are linear – and don’t even seem to justify why or how such an assumption should be valid. Good luck with that. Final blow is the use of p-values and “statistical significance”. To quote from the official statement by the American Statistical Association:

2. P-values do not measure the probability that the studied hypothesis is true, or the probability that the data were produced by random chance alone.

3. Scientific conclusions and business or policy decisions should not be based only on whether a p-value passes a specific threshold.

4. A p-value, or statistical significance, does not measure the size of an effect or the importance of a result.

5. By itself, a p-value does not provide a good measure of evidence regarding a model or hypothesis.

The best we can do in most cases is to use these sites to bring software, services, features, and risks to our attention

This is my purpose indeed; I’m not saying I’d blindly trust some websites. It’s good to find some that people have found to be more reputable.

I was interested in them at first, this was very good info. Thank you!
