Do you know about what Victoria Nuland (leaked intercepted tapes), Senator John McCain, Senator Lindsay Graham, Hunter Biden, CIA John Brennan, etc. did in Ukraine? Do you know that Zelenskyy had a sub-28% approval rating from his own popul

Wireguard is the only service that I bother to expose. It's stealth and has mitigations for DOS attacks.

> Apple themselves are not a vector in my privacy threat model Mostly the same here. But, when their ad-targeting goes fully online? When they hand over your data due to a lawsuit you didn't expect?

Sure. But, let's also stop feeding the Apple App Store beast. 15-30% cut for little-to-no value added. Complete monopolization. Can't side-load apps without paying an yearly-fee.
