The bar for losing your job as a congress person or any public servant for corruption should be way lower than the bar for being sent to prison.

There's "knowing how" and there's having your mobile constantly within arms reach.

Also, her obvious corruption. Her and her husband make waaaaaaaay above average on the stock market due to her insider knowledge. But I'm sure that never affects her policy positions.

Don't forget his "lawsuit" against Media Matters.

The fact you assumed this was ideologically motivated is insane. Do you have any critical thinking skills?

Lamarckian evolution mixed with racism, wow. I'm not surprised.

Current user of Niagara here, it's just a unique option. You have favorites on a scrollable list (one app per line) and then you can scroll down an alphabetical list of all apps by letter on the side. Plus the optional subscription is $5 a year, which is actually reasonable in my opinion.

Maybe I just go to different sites than you, but I run into problems accessing web sites from AirVPN fairly often. Its also possible that the AirVPN servers that you use are not blocked like they are for mine (Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, etc).

Like I said above, the best thing is to try any VPN service for a few days or a week to see whether anything annoying happens in your use case before jumping into a long term contract.

I don't know really anything about network setup, but as far as I know, your ISP should have nothing to do with it while you use a VPN.

All I had to do was change the settings on the AirVPN account on their website (logged in) and add the port to my qbittorrent settings. This is unrelated, but I also added a killswitch in qbittorrent advanced settings that stops torrenting if my vpn connection fails. After that, I went to a site like https://canyouseeme.org/ and verified my port forwarding was set up properly.

I never had to touch my router or ISP settings. My configuration is running the VPN from each device. It is also possible to set up your VPN directly on the router. That way, all traffic on the home network is through the VPN.

I use AirVPN. It's reliable and I like their vpn client Eddie, but there are a few things you should know. Google blocks traffic from all of their Dallas servers, about 20% of their us based servers. Also, a few web hosting companies block AirVPN traffic, at least on the servers I use, including GoDaddy. I can't access the Linux Mint forums while on AirVPN either. Every day or two I have to disable the VPN to access a site, which defeats the purpose, IMO.

One good thing about AirVPN is that they have sales often. But I would try a week now before committing. Reliability has been top notch and they have a lot of servers.

Edit: I use port forwarding for bittorrent and it was easy to set up. You log in on their website and choose a port to forward for your account. I'm honestly a novice at networking and I figured it out using these instructions.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

There actually are, they just aren't built in functionality yet. Go to this github and scroll to the tools section. Notable ones for this purpose are lasim, lemmy_migrate, and lemmy_account_sync.
