[SOLVED] Searching For Campfires

I have the OSMand app on the Phone for offline and survival use. Plan is to search for campfires in an easier manner.

Right now, I have to zoom in (quite a lot), in order to even see a campfire icon.

I want to simply click a tag that displays all campfires and yet be able to zoom out a lot to see all campfires in the area. Is this even an option or am I just a moron and don't understand how the app works? (Don't answer that last part ;D)

Need an affordable residential and secure proxy

I tend to play Team Fortress 2. It's a rather old game. The server I play on used to allow anyone to connect. Later on, it kicked me (sometimes) because it detected me originating from one of MullvadVPN's IP addresess. They seem to have updated the blacklist list so it always seems to detect me using a VPN. I just don't want to share my public IP with them.

Is there a clever way around this? I feel like all the residential proxies tend to be quite pricey compared to a normal VPN

Auto Typing Script

I have a job where a part of our job is to write comments on some entries. Such as if we have edited it. This same string can get quite repetitive. Writing out initials followed by the current date. It would be amazing to have a script so each time you press a shortcut command, this script will fire and type out in the looks of "ABC YYYY-MM-DD: ". Making that process simpler. I'm quite new to Linux and thought maybe the community has some ideas. (We aren't allowed to install any type of software due to security purposes. So if something already comes pre-baked within Ubuntu, would be quite neat! :P)

[SWE] Swedish government wants a back door in Signal

Swedish government wants a back door in signal for police and 'Säpo' (Swedish federation that checks for spies)

Let's say that this becomes a law and Signal decides to withdraw from Sweden as they clearly state that they won't implement a back door; would a citizen within the country still be able to use and access Signals services? Assuming that google play services probably would remove the Signal app within Sweden (which I also don't use)

I just want the government to go f*ck themselves, y'know?

Privacy Friendly Alternative to Paypal

I use PayPal to be the middle man to protect my credit card information when I purchase items online.

Of course I have grown less fond of PayPal and their scammy behavior (plus the password limit is 20, wtf?)

My question; is there an alternative to paypal to buy things online (without crypto as not all stores take such things), such as privacy.com (but for Europe).

Correct mw if im wrong, but I believe privacy.com is for US, Canada region.

My bank doesn't offer virtual credit cards sadly.
