Chuck 'em in the garbage and get something that doesn't break when you insist on privacy.
Woah! Didn't know that!
A+ build up in that intro.
In my opinion! But, I'm going to be honest with you; if I have my way, I'm buying cheddarwurst over hot dogs of any variety every time. Once I discovered it was possible to buy dogs infused with cheese, I've never seen any reason to do anything else :-)
I agree that normal dogs are excellent starchy-meal augmenters.

Thank you for the detailed response! I'm going to give it a try! This will be a step up from OpenWRT on a cheap router, I'll bet!
If it is of interest, I actually decided to try Threema as a result of folks recommending it in this thread and like it a lot! Similar functionality to Olvid, but faster & more responsive.
In fact, reality is not apparently basically rational. Why does anything exist at all? Surely, the trivial solution would be a simpler state of affairs. Why is existence not nothing forever? Why there exists anything instead of nothing (let alone you and me, in particular) does not stand to reason.
