No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

It's ok. I've spend a lot of time (too much) comparing different options and Nord was the only one that ticked all the boxes. Most options had similar price.

No, use Tor or something.

As I understand it : no

PIA has never steered me wrong, just saying.

[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

hasnt it been acquired by Kape?

[–] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Still much cheaper and has verified no-logs since the acquisition.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

Depends on what you want it to do.

I did a tailscale to a VPS for a while, but then the VPS host got bought by Microslop...

[–] raptore39@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

I've been using it for about 3 years now and it seems perfectly fine. I got like 80% off from a YouTube promo code for 3 years or something and then renewed again with a promo code so it's super cheap

no; use mullvad

One of the founders of Mullvad has been supporting a Swedish far right nationalist party. So might want to try IVPN instead.

Could these execs get it together man. I've switched vpns like five times now 😭 Also, +1 for IVPN.

[–] just2look@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm in the same boat. I'm so tired of switching services because I found out about a Nazi or pedophile or rapist or bigot. Humanity sucks.

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

At this point I'm too jaded to bother. I don't want to fund Nazis anywhere, but if the things that support my values are an island, it's maybe only 6 grains of sand above the ocean of bad. I don't have the kind money to takes to not get my feet wet and at least Sweden isn't excited to be Nazis like every other nation.
