For those who don’t know the service, Made O'Meter is an experimental app from Denmark that's completely free and ad-free, created to support Europe, Canada, and friend nations around the world. Using the power of AI, the app estimates where products are made. While it's not always spot-on, it's a great way to get a better idea of a product's origins.

The last version was delivering wrong information about the origin of certain products, then it was put on hold by its creators, who apparently solved the issue with this new version.

Hey everyone!

I'm considering using Privado VPN and would love to hear your thoughts on its privacy features.

Here's what I've gathered so far:

• No-Logs Policy: Privado VPN claims to have a strict no-logs policy, meaning they don't track your browsing history, traffic destination, data content, IP addresses, or DNS queries.
• Encryption: They use AES-256 encryption, which is top-notch for securing your data.
• Jurisdiction: Based in Switzerland, a country known for its strong privacy laws.
• Kill Switch: Includes a kill switch to protect your data if the VPN connection drops.
• Split Tunneling: Offers split tunneling, allowing you to choose which apps use the VPN and which don't.
• Ad Blocking: Provides basic ad-blocking features, though it may not be effective against all types of ads.

However, there are a few concerns:

• Third-Party Audit: There's no mention of a third-party audit to verify their no-logs policy.
• Malware Protection: The malware and phishing site protection could be better.

I'd appreciate any insights or personal experiences you can share about Privado VPN's privacy features. Is it as secure as it claims? Have you encountered any issues?

Thanks in advance for your help! :)

Hello everyone.

Well, I’m here to ask for your insights and knowledge.

I have been self-hosting for almost a year already. Mainly proving things like Jellyfin, jellyseer and all the ARRs. All of this with a modest Raspberry Pi 4b using DietPi OS (which I think is great!)

Now, I want to move to the next stage, acquiring a more powerful machine.

What do you recommend for:

A) Mini PC. I want it to fast and with a huge storage (being able to increase it easily) B) SSD or HDD. Which ones. C) Operative System. I would like to stay on Linux.

Any other recommendations?

Finally, I have an adjusted budget, but pretend to save a bit more to have something nice :)

Thanks!
