Guys this isnt even funny. Please stop.
Farewell online privacy
What happened?
Trump happened.
just get a VPN?
You canāt just tell people toĀ āget a VPN (Virtual Private Network)ā. Buying a VPN is like buying a house. Itās very very important. Having no VPN or having a āwrongā one can seriously damage your life. Especially for Americans because their privacy laws are garbage. I am going to try explain why you should get a VPN but bare with me, I am from Germany and my English is far from perfect.Ā
Letās start with a simple test. Click this link here:Ā https://whatismyipaddress.com/ It will tell your IP adres, your ISP (internet service provider), and your location. The location might not be very accurate, but then again, itās just a simple website. Imagine what the government can do!
So basically, everyone can find out where you live. But there is more danger. Your ISP. Your ISP logs your every move online and they are required to keep it in case the government wants access to it (or if a 3rd party wants to buy your data (yikes). They have everything. What websites you visit. How long you stay on a website. What you download.Ā Your search terms. European laws are more subtle on this but if you are from the US you are #@*#&, especially because Trump doesnāt support the open internet. Itās scary but maybe in the future you canāt get a job because the recruiter knows your searched onĀ āhow to deal with depressionā or anythings else thatās supposed to be private because itās your f*cking right. Or you get a $100k fine because you pirated a movie 15 years ago. You need a VPN. Youāre dumb for not using one. but what does a VPN do?
A VPN encrypts all your data so if it were be intercepted no one canĀ ācrack the codeā and damage your privacy.Ā
Usually being online goes like this (simplified): Your computer ā-> ISP (āā> keeps data āā> sells it)
But with a VPN it goes like: Your computer āā> VPN (encrypts data)āā> ISP (ISP canāt see shit)
Furthermore, a VPN hides your IP address and location by giving you another IP address located in Spain for example (you can often choose from a list and change as many times as you want). Ā
Now that you know why you should get a VPN and what is does it is important to educate yourself because people often choose the wrong VPN. VPN providers are also businesses and have to obey the law. If you choose a VPN provider located in the US then you are throwing your money away because the laws in the US shits on your privacy. If the US gov wants the provider to give all their logs they have to obey.Ā The ISP Ā still canāt see what you are doing online and sell your data but the US gov can interfere with your VPN provider so NEVER CHOOSE A PROVIDER LOCATED IN THE US.Ā
I just wanted to make that very clear so my followers donāt buy false security.
There is still more danger!Ā Who says your VPN provider isnāt selling your data? You need to check their logging policy. Do they keep logs? If yes, what for? For how long do they keep them? Tip: Choose a provider who doesnāt keep logs
More about lawĀ The US is part of the Five Eyes program (the worst):Ā Ā
The Five Eyes, often abbreviated as FVEY, is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. These countries are bound by the multilateral UKUSA Agreement, a treaty for joint cooperation in signals intelligence (source)
There is also a Nine Eyes (bit better) and Fourteen Eyes Program (better).Ā You donāt want a VPN provider who is located in one the Five Eyes countries.Ā If you had to choose go for a provider located in a country thatās part of the Fourteen Eyes Program or even better, go for a country that isnāt part of any program!Ā
I know this is a shitty explanation and please pardon my english but now itās time to do your own research. Take your privacy seriously. Maybe WWIII breaks out and you get killed for liking the āwrongā FB-page. Ā
Go to this website:Ā https://thatoneprivacysite.net/simple-vpn-comparison-chart/
Make sure that your future VPN provider both has green boxes for Privacy Jurisdiction and Privacy Logging.Ā
I recommend ovpn.se and trust.zone. ovpn is located in Sweden so they are part of the 14 Eyes Program and they keep minimal logs. Their business ethics, however, are alright.Ā
Trustzone is located in the Seychelles. No country can interfere and their privacy jurisdiction is the best you can get. The US want your data but needs to get it from Trustzone? The Seychelles will simply give them the finger and wave them goodbye. However, this makes this provider very appealing for people who torrent and criminals because they keep no logs (and that is how it shoud be) Also, Ā there are almost no marketing efforts so this provider is one the cheapest)
Also, often providers such as ExpressVPN are being calledĀ āThe Bestā on websites about VPNs but know that this is just marketing which also makes those provider more expensive (and they too shit on your privacy)
This must be the worst article you have ever read but please, please take your privacy very seriously.
EDIT: I got many people asking me which provider I use. For those who want to know, I use Trust Zone. They offer a free 3-day trial with no strings attached. But still do your own research!Ā
I am also with Trustzone but I think you forgot to explain one of itās most important features. It protects you when you are using someone elseās Wi-Fi. If you are at Starbucks and you use their Wi-Fi your privacy is at risk. Anyone with ill intentions could steal your information. Especially if you are using an unsecured Wi-Fi hotspot. With a VPN your data gets encrypted so no one can steal it.Ā
Wait, whatās going, on? Did trump destroy internet privacy with a bill or something? Whereās the news? Oh wait, why am I getting visions of Alex Jones and selling water purifiers?
He hasnāt yet but he says he wants to. And if he is serious about it it would be really easy to do. Since all our data is already recorded, as the person above explained.
Trump wants more surveillance of Muslim Americans. This in a country where internet privacy is already close to non-existent.Ā
Trust.Zone has a free trial. Use it.Ā
btw this post only has 11k notes? Thatās quite disappointing for something this important.Ā
Donāt reblog this post to save a life. Reblog this to protect an entire family!
@earth-ruins @writing-prompt-s Should I get trustzone for my mobile device?
If you use public Wi-Fi, then yes. Which VPN you use is up to you, amigo. Take @earth-ruins advice. Do your own research first.Ā
@elvesfromthedeepā just brought the current situation in the US to my attention (March 30, 2017).Ā

Anger as US internet privacy law scrappedĀ
Congress just voted to let internet providers sell your browsing historyĀ
To all my friends in the US, please read this entire post. Making everyone aware of VPNs is going to be my mission. Your privacy matters. Please reblog this post.
Donāt tell me you just wanted to scroll past this. Stop looking at pictures of cats for a moment, okay? Donāt you realize how important this is? This is dangerous! āAmerica, the best FREE country in the worldā my ass.
With this new law your ISP can sell your Internet history which could include passwords, usernames, religion, credit card numbers, race and much more to the highest bidder. So here is what I want you to do. You are going to read the whole thing and before you think āthis is so important. Let me reblog this real quick and go back to admiring cats again-ā NO! Donāt reblog this. Take action first. Then reblog. Sign up for a free trial! Trust.Zone offers one (here). Yes. It might be difficult to set up a VPN for some people. But is that going to stop you from protecting yourself and your family? 30 minutes. 30 minutes is all that it takes. 5 if you know how to install software. The problem with some of you is that you see ādifficultā as something negative. I want you to see difficult differently. I need you to push through this stuff. You are going to protect yourself. There is nothing negative about that. VPNs are fun and costsaving too! A VPN bypasses geographical restrictions so you can access websites you normally canāt or you could start Netflixās one month free trial over and over again- forever. And itās legal! (unless you use it to buy weapons etc.,) Donāt tell yourself that you are too tired and that you will do this tomorrow. Because that isnāt going to happen and you know it. You have to do this right now. You only have to click on it. Donāt let this/shit/life just happen to you. Take yourself seriously. Get a VPN.
Privacy is not a privilege, itās a fundamental human right
Hey is thatoneprivacysite still good? The link works and it does take me to an article about vpns, but it just looks like an ad for expressvpn with extra steps.
No they switched to https://thatoneprivacysite.xyz/#simple-vpn-comparison a couple years ago
Welcome to the VPN Comparison!Ā This section is meant to be a resource to those who value their privacy, specifical...
I had Trust.Zone when this post first started making the rounds on Tumblr and I forgot about it after Biden took office. I recently sent them an email asking why my subscription wasnāt automatically renewed and why their website hasnāt changed since 2017(?). Their answer:
Shady people, good people, this company only cares about privacy and doesnāt care who it serves. But now with Trump and Musk this is the only VPN Iāll use.
I understand some people might not want to use this VPN on moral grounds, but itās genuinely one of the very few VPNs set up in a way that no authority can touch you. ExpressVPN and other āpopularā options operate in jurisdictions favorable for profits but their privacy is just a band-aid our government can easily rip off if it demands information. Iām a trans man, Iām afraid of our government, and at this point, I simply donāt care anymore.
For a second I was like noooooo, not this long post again! Havenāt seen it in years and I always thought it was a bit extreme and exaggerated. Now that we are in 2025, I am like, nahh, these people knew what they were talking about all along. First time I am reblogging this.
Also I donāt think anyone has said this yet but the free trial only requires an email address. No credit card details or anything. Refreshing.
Could someone please put the link to the free trial here? I donāt want to scroll back up 10 miles. Thank you.
here you go @foxbridgeni
Trust.Zone Free Trial
The argument against VPNs has always been,Ā ābut I have nothing to hide.āĀ Now that an unpredictable lunatic is in charge, purging based on whatever whim strikes him, that sentiment is quickly fading. VPNs arenāt just about hiding personal secrets; theyāre about protecting freedom, autonomy, and your basic right to live without unjust scrutiny or arbitrary persecution.
Reblogging again bc this is important

DIY Chest Binder Tutorial!
I made my own binder today and it was SO EASY (and cheap.. only $10!) so I thought Iād share!
Works well and is so BREATHABLE and comfy due to the mesh in the back. Make one for every day of the week.
Requires some sewing skills (itās possible with hand sewing!) but its a super super simple pattern. Learn 2 sew by making a binder, its a great skill to have B) Try it out for yourself and let me know, Iām really interested in hearing how it works for different bodies!
See the tutorial below!!
Keep reading
just gonna save this.. :)
this messed up vintage cat sewing pattern has tormented me since i saw it & like some other folks have done in that post - i tried my hand at tweaking the pattern to resemble the illustration (and my personal tastes) a little more. i've ended up with this, which i have only tested at a small scale and not this final version exactly (where i have done such things as further widening the cheeks and finalizing the leg shapes.) i bestow it upon you nice folks now š
go forth and make weird little beanbag kittens! pls show me if you do!
woah this got big!! and after another try i have another untested tweak for yall. this should help the weird pinchy side seams out. yey
My first attempt! I made the pattern a bit smaller as I wanted it to be able to fit in a pocket, but then (accidentally but perhaps unavoidably) sewed it with a wider seam allowance than the resized pattern indicated, so the face is proportionally a bit too big and I lost some detail in the ear shape. I'm pleased with it though! It was fun to make something and to do some handsewing.
SOO CUTE AND TINIE š
I tried this pattern a while back to try out some minky and I get no points for making the pattern well but looook at my boyyy
His name is Tofu. Thank you for sharing the pattern I will love him forever
I made these kitties! Theyāre so fun to make and so sweetš„°š„°
Sometimes in art streams to take a break I'll draw Narilamb shitten shenangians, which consist of two routes: either they have to make that thang at home or they get it via some magical way idk
I don't have a shitten design and none of this is canon to my AU, it's just for hypothetical shits n giggles
Part two here of more shitten shenanigans
