It’s been fun. Once this is official I guess it’s over for me.

This ^ I’ll have to give DE a try now

That’s fair. Has anyone been able to substantiate their claims for quantum resistant encryption?

Which part? lol. A lot of companies are rolling out PQ these days it seems

So the hotspot needs a SIM card, right? Is the idea to use the SIM card in this and then connect to it from your phone?

Anything for iOS? Or do I need to go back to Graphene?

Ah, so 5 eyes. Tuta is German so 14 eyes. Not a lot of options out there

Is Fastmail US based?

Isn’t Njalla a registrar?

Do they? I haven’t experienced either of these. Where would I find the ads? Curious if my pihole is hiding them

Exactly this. I left after the previous comments but still felt they had integrity. That’s also starting to change

Tuta mail

I switched after the CEO came out supporting Trumps nomination and the republicans being the party of the small guy

No problem at all. Yoinked from r/personalfinance a while ago.

I’m using Wealthfront :)

That’s true. Was going to setup a NAT rule to test it out but then realized that there’s no way I can redirect outbound traffic on 443 to a Pi Hole on 53, lol.

Technically if you have a NAT redirect rule that routes all outbound traffic on a specific port, you could redirect to port 53 on the pihole and it would be visible because the DoT/ DoH terminates at the Pi which his brother could control? VPN is still a safe bet.

I’d follow the rule of thumb for anything less than 5 years, use a HYSA. Mines around 4%, which isn’t beating the market but at least the value will only go up. Something you want for a short term goal like this.

Currently Wealthfront at 4%

Definitely. I have my retirement in a large cap, mid/small cap, international and bonds. My rIRA is a low cost Vanguard age based portfolio and my 529 is mostly large cap. I still have quite the horizon on those accounts so I don’t mind being a bit risky, but for this ‘savings’ account I should be a bit more safe. I think I got my answer here. I’ll hold off on VOO and just use HYSA as I’ll probably want to try making a down payment on a house in the next 5 ish years.

Those are all great points. This would basically be a longer term general savings fund. I have other funds for retirement, education, etc.

I do have a goal of buying a house in the next 5 years, but that would basically be putting RSUs into this (or another) account as they vest over the next 5 years. So maybe this wouldn’t be the best choice for that type of strategy
