  • Yes, iy’s always to use with a grain of salt. As said, it ads a security layer, but can be an privacy hole, despte that mail directions are easier to track as phone numbers, at least in the EU, you can’t be mapped back to an user, this is only possible in crime investigations by the police with an court order. Mail adresses on the other hand are unique identifiers which are way easier th track, except you use an disposable mail or alias. Anyway, eg.in Vivaldi 2FA is safe and apart optional, as also the account itself, only needed when you want to use sync or the use of Vivaldimail, blog and other services it offers. In much other services it’s also only an option.


  • 2FA is an important security layer, if the service, after sending you the activating SMS with the code, delete your number (normal in serious services), it’s also not an privacy problem. In big us corporations on the other hand, it is, eg.Google store tour number and also probably share it, there 2FA is not an option. Instead a number, some services also admit alternatively a second e-mail account to receive the activation code, there, if you have doubt, you can use an disposable mail, so there isn’t any privacy problem.


  • You can find it in HuggingFace.

    Apertus is designed with transparency at its core, thereby ensuring full reproducibility of the training process. Alongside the models, the research team has published a range of resources: comprehensive documentation and source code of the training process and datasets used, model weights including intermediate checkpoints – all released under a permissive open-source license, which also allows for commercial use. The terms and conditions are available via Hugging Face. ​Apertus was developed with due consideration to Swiss data protection laws, Swiss copyright laws, and the transparency obligations under the EU AI Act. Particular attention has been paid to data integrity and ethical standards: the training corpus builds only on data which is publicly available. It is filtered to respect machine-readable opt-out requests from websites, even retroactively, and to remove personal data, and other undesired content before training begins.

    You can use it here (optional free account).

    Review:

    Apertus truly delivers on its transparency promises, representing one of the most open and transparent LLM projects to date. The philosophy has been “open at every level,” backed by concrete actions that set new standards for AI transparency.




  • The onion network was made by the secret service and the military of the US, and all its servers. It is still used by those for intern communication and also controlled its traffic. More than 2000 sites raided by the authorities every year, show that it has few to do with security to use it, precisely because it is used by all kind of criminal activity. This is why eg, drugbarons nowadays prefer to use P2P comunication or simply pencil and paper. As aid, the future isn’t the Onion, it’s i2p or other decentralized networks.
