Und jetzt?

Wise words!

"Genauso, wie Ost und West untrennbar miteinander verbunden sind, erkennen wir an, dass der Islam ein integraler Bestandteil Deutschlands ist."

Oh man, kann man Religion nicht einfach verbieten? Fördert nur Hass und Ungleichheit.

Then you should really only consider mass surveillance via cameras as a "big" concern. I'm not much of a travel guy, cause being handicapped has it's downside, but afaik there aren't many cameras spread across Europe, mostly near/on main train stations, public transport and similar public places. Use a cap/hat and maybe sunglasses. I haven't heard of any AI/biometrical real time/logging/analyzing being used in production yet (but it's being discussed). Don't use public wifi, get an anonymous simcard (roaming data esims for some crypto-dollars) and a GrapheneOS Pixel smartphone (use it only when needed). Pay by cash and be nice to other humans. And don't think too much about stuff you can't control! Don't let you get mad and restrict your life too hard because of stupid politicians and governments xD

Have fun exploring Europe! Take a look at Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Netherlands. Poland and the Czech Republic are nice too, but it's harder there to communicate in English IME.

oh: and as a drug user, usually prescribed opioids (no abuse, I need them and have a prescription), but (a)busing weed (got a script too, but usually buy from the dealer/vape HHC currently) and hallucinogens/"fun"-drugs (LSD, Shrooms and Special K), I only had problems in Germany because of THC (haven't had a script at this time). But usually it's OK to party, but don't be too open about your use. Funniest moment was in Amsterdam. Some friends and me were sitting on a bench near a little garden, drinking beers and smoking some Js. When the police drove by, we first wanted to hide the Joint, but remembered ah, no public booze in Amsterdam, and had to hide our beers instead. It's usually the other way round :P

I wouldn't call him mental ill. Maybe he's a small time crook, sells and smokes weed and has a little bit of paranoia.

Truth be told, in my criminal past (mostly online fraud, but some real life crime too), I have had similar thoughts. But hey, don't do stupid shit in countries which you don't know.

Not it's Red Star OS!!!!! Looks like you don't like communist leadership! To the gulag with him!

Depends on your threat model... What do you think could cause problems while traveling through Europe in your opinion?

https://github.com/GrapheneOS/PdfViewer I'm using GrapehneOS and the integrated PDF viewer. Can't say of it works flawlessly on other Android OSes, but you could give it a try!

Wenn ich Schinken will, ess ich Schinken und trink kein Schlenkerla oder anderes Rauchbier xD

Immer diese Kacknoobs die über Dinge entscheiden, von denen sie 0,0 Ahnung haben... Aber naja, die nächst höhere Instanz ist dann meist n bisschen kompetenter.

Jon-Do-Nym is a paid proxy provider with a similar structure to Tor. But nodes aren't hosted by volunteers, they are hosted by themselves. There was one free server the last time I've tested it and it was a German IP in Dresden. Speed was slow. And afaik they do log user IPs.

Wouldn't recommend them. I would use a VPN like Mullvad combined with Tor. But maybe a VPN or Tor alone is sufficent in your case.

Edit: Looks like there was an option to selfhost nodes (link doesn't work anymore), the whole project looks dead too (old website, old entries). And no info about the AN.ON app...

I would recommend creating a Ventoy USB drive and download some live ISOs of your choice. Then boot them and let your BF try them. Because then he can choose a distro by his liking to the overall experience.

Probably drugs, lots of em, bought on various darknet markets :)

Yeah, now that you say it. Sadly we must wait till 2025...

Shit looks dope af, kinda a mix of Doom/Blood and Cuphead. Definitely gonna buy it :)

Correct!

You're welcome!

Imo Hardkernel is much better than any RPI (you mostly pay for the hype...). I'm running a HC2, N2+ and M1. Everything works. Armbian doing great work here. M1 runs native arm debian with a nice Petiteboot net installer. Give it a try if you wanted to take the RPI 5. And the M1 has an nvme and Sata port too (just need the bracket for a 2,5" drive).

Okay, yeah price difference in Euros in DE isn't as big either. But you pay more for a worse CPU. Underclock and volt the CPU and you're still having a faster CPU with more cores. My HTPC (HP 400 G4 with 8500T) draws about 20-25w while streaming.

300 bucks oO

Better get something used with an 8500t for much less. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=8500t&_sacat=0

Or an Odroid M1 with 8GB Ram for about 100-150 bucks. https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-m1-with-8gbyte-ram/

Yeah, Vodafone DOCSIS is OKish. Had that in another flat some years ago, but random reconnects occured all the time. Right now 1und1 being fucktards too. I wanted to move my 250Mbit/s DSL, but couldn't do it online. Had to call, end of story I had a brand new 100Mbit/s contract and my old 250 one was still active at the old address... Took like 10 calls and many hours to fix this. Still don't have the Instant Starter Kit with LTE. Gonna call them later...
