It’s not perfect, but being super configurable does help.

This seems like sound logic 👍

Vivaldi is definitely cool — except for the amount of RAM it uses. If it weren’t for that, I would use it a lot more, but for me, Firefox is just faster all around.

Solid cologne?? Ok now I must Google. Never heard of such

I’ve seen Duke Cannon in lots of brick-and-mortar stores.

Is this something I should Google, or…. maybe I shouldn’t?

This is a very contentious topic right now, and it’s not clear at the moment whether votes will remain public or be made private. There are some very vocal proponents on both sides.

No idea. Maybe hosts typically follow a policy of not snooping in stored files without a ticket requesting or authorizing it implicitly or explicitly. At least that would make sense to me.

AFAIK, web hosting clients here in the US don’t really have any expectation of privacy from their host itself.

This is true. I know of one that doesn’t care but I’d prefer not to out them even though a lot of people surely know already.

But how could a provider find out, if they are one that cares? Well, they could sniff all their network traffic, do some SPI/DPI on it, store those logs, and run automated analysis on them periodically.

Even then, they’re not going to do the job of, say, the RIAA or MPAA for them. So in most cases, the only way a host would find you out on their own is things like high storage usage (maybe), high amounts of commonly-pirated file types, and high usage of certain protocols (like torrent). Outside of that, probably nothing would happen until your host gets a DMCA notice.

So THAT’S what that’s for.
