I think I'd depends on what you mean by secure.

So to give you an idea of how that'd work (at least my understanding of it):

  • Your VPN will set up a virtual interface (naturally its associated with your physical network interface, but the virtual allows some cryptography magic) and sends all traffic out that "pipe". That pipe leads to (in this case) a Proton server. That pipe is encrypted from your device to that server.
  • By default, ALL traffic is forced out that pipe.
  • When you allow LAN connections, it'll basically setup a firewall rule that sends all traffic NOT bound for you local network (usually 192.168.0.0/24) through that encrypted pipe.
  • all traffic bound for the local network will go through usual routes.

On the face of it and with a "normie" home network, this is probably okay.

However, if you (as an example) run a local DNS server (like Pi-Hole) its possible that your DNS traffic gets send through normal (and potentially non - encrypted means) channels to the DNS server and then forwarded out to the wider internet. This could allow an ISP to get an idea of what you're looking at with your VPN (since they'll be able to see that you're using a VPN, this is not a difficult thing to correlate)

So really the answer is it depends. I'd minimize risks by leaving LAN connections off, unless you really need it, but that's making a bunch of assumptions about your specific needs and threat model.

So the way I could see this working for her is have Bernie Sanders come and endorse her right out the gate (I doubt he'd be up for being her running mate, but it'd probably be an even better run if he accepted that).

Ol' boy had been VERY effective at breaking into right - leaning spaces and I could see him contributing to getting the historically Democrat (but not recently Democrat) voter out for AOC.

My real concern is the party leaders. I could see them trying to hold back resources and effectively pulling the same moves they pulled in Bernie to hold her down.

This feels like its related to specific recent news....but I can't tell what. Would someone be so kind as to bring me up to speed?

For max ergonomics, wouldn't you want the trigger pull to be more perpendicular to the grip?

Of course, your thumb is gona be sore either way.

I understand the Reagan quote was in regards to the Black Panthers protesting out side the (California State) Capitol Building when he said this.

But it sounds like it was part of a larger speech. Does anyone have the full text on that? I couldn't find it, but my Google-Fu has never been as good as it should be.

~~Idk, Narcissus seems to have it pretty okay too.~~

Nm, I misremembered the myth of Narcissus. I thought he was punished by the gods to never see his reflection or something. Def got the wrong end of that one.

Man, someone needs to tell these guys that they can just resign. They don't need to implement laws that are sure to get them voted out next election, they can just quit any time they want.

Would have posted a guide to get to the switch, but couldn't find it on the Android app (though I've never seen an ad popup there).

Both being unsafe seems the most probably state of things.

Still, something unsafe can still be safer than every other option ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, def overlooked a word or two.

#ImmediateRegret Glad I double checked the OP before "keeping" it there
