And you can also buy virtual debit cards With crypto

If so it can still be forked because it’s open source. So not an issue imo

Why not use KDE connect instead and skip the cloud?

Then you even have less privacy. Heard if UBO registers?

Having an Iranian close friend. They’re culturally in no way aware of why privacy is useful and important. So I have a complete profile on his phone with all my private data that’s synced to every service that syncs contact details. My pics and videos are uploaded to big tech and used to train AI because of the functions they provide to improve quality or made other modifications.

Looks like a hacky and far from perfect approach here. In the gap where you lose your VPN connection and the script triggers, there’s a timeframe that your torrent software will leak a lot of data. A better approach here is to enforce only VPN connections via your firewall. Whitelist outgoing connections to your VPN destination, blacklist the rest. On Linux make the torrent systemd unit also have a dependency on the VPN connection, that it: your torrent service won’t start if the VPN service isn’t active. So in case your VPN disables at some point,the firewall will still do its work.

Posteo yes and addy.io for using custom domains for incoming emails

Functionality-wise it definitely is, but secure wise no. There’s probably same kind of tracking for profit going on in the background like with WhatsApp and signal. SimpleX is a better alternative privacy and security wise, but it’s still in heavy development

Well, he caused this himself in the end, he failed to deliver on the part of secure and private messaging because default chats are insecure and secret chats are a buggy joke. If he delivered in the promise of providing a real secure and private messenger and did real effort to fight against spam, then things mind have turned out differently. Decentralization should also have been part of it.

In the end, he chose for fancy features instead.

I can’t explain, perhaps due to my limited knowledge about the subject. I understood that compression was a weakening factor for encryption years ago when I heard about it. Always good to do your own research in the end 🙃

I also don’t like the duplication of logs in journald and syslog, so I always disable forwarding to syslog

Encryption and compression don’t play well together though. You should consider that when storing sensitive files. That’s why it’s recommended to leave compression off in https because it weakens the encryption strength

It is. It’s just a bit hardened

Familiarity

No idea tbh. I edited my message to fix my mistake too

I doubt iPhone is better, and it’s marketing instead. Or it’s a matter of time before they wanna go the data mining road. You can also get a fairphone and install a custom ROM

Molly is just a bit of a hardened version. It’s still signal besides that

Good is relative tbf. I’ve had issues installing something natively while installing flatpak just worked

From my experience, Microsoft has generally the worst web developers it seems. It’s not only the naming, but a lot of their websites work horrible. Teams never even worked in Firefox, say whut?

As KVM is part if the Linux kernel, I assume you’ll have to look into kernel hardening instead, next to OS hardening. Hardware is also important to consider when talking about VM escaping. A CPU that supports better VM isolation features and encrypted memory
