It works for me… I think it’s something like it goes faster with port forwarding but to be honest I don’t know the details.

Unions have strike funds to pay those participating in the strike. It’s not the full amount though, and it’s not like they’re paid enough these days.

If you’re near a picket line it’s worth bringing some treats to the strikers. The sweet taste of solidarity helps.

Yeah… Per the article, the office of the Labour Minister is investigating so maybe they will intervene to improve funding. I know a postie and they really deserve better conditions.

TLDR: The collective agreement was extended until May 22 after the return to work order. Negotiations for a new collective agreement are ongoing, but could just end in a strike again.

How would MMP/STV handle a situation like this? Can candidates running locally also be on the party list?

As a general rule, if you’re getting a service for free, you’re the product.

I don’t know much about the downsides of free in the context of VPNs, as I didn’t really get in to the technical ins and outs. But when we’re talking security and privacy I think the cost of supporting something good and sustainable is well worth it.

I’ve heard port forwarding is helpful for speed, and that might be a paid only thing, but to be honest I’m consistently surprised by how fast things go for me just using mullvad.

Another thing you may wish to consider: the Proton CEO has praised Trump which is a huge red flag to me in the privacy space.

These resources are really all you need, but they’re all individually quite focused so for a new person it can be hard to see the forest.

An overview:

For movies, streaming sites are fine.

To start torrenting safely:

  • get a paid vpn (i use mullvad)
  • download qbittorrent or the like
  • find a public tracker from the megathead, general ones are easy/convenient for starting imo
  • virus scan/use common sense/be careful
