Decentralizr,

You can do this. But you need to use rethinkdns and download the configuration of the proton vpn wireguard server(s) you wanna reach. You can have internet blocked for individual apps, have some tunnel without VPN but DNS and firewall protection and some go through servers of proton (even per app to different servers). It’s a powerful tool. You won’t get the same protection as you would get with let’s say GrapheneOS but you are getting damn close to it if done right

Root vs ADB Uninstall for Debloating

If I only wanted to degoogle and disable other manufacturer’s bloatware from my Android device, is using adb to “uninstall” the system apps from user 0 pretty much as effective as rooting and using something like debloat terminal while rooted or are there bypasses that make rooting the better option? I’m not concerned...

Decentralizr,

The first thing to consider is what you want to archive. Security and privacy are not the same thing, however go hand in hand. With rooting you can go deeply into your systems setup, however it also opens potential threats against you. Adb is more secure. When it comes to privacy consider also rethinkdns or any other firewall. You can block internet access to specific apps and even system apps.

Decentralizr,

If you want it the safest use the official Monero wallet. Or what I use and trust cakewallet. It can also do bitcoin in case you use that too…

Decentralizr,

I have no Facebook or Instagram etc and never had. And I have friends and meet people. I think people who are interested in you have no problem with your stand even changing the username all the time is a bit strange haha

Decentralizr,

You don’t need shelter. Create a multiple user account one just for that app… on GrapheneOS. It is totally isolated from the rest. You can use a vpn just in that user profile too

Decentralizr,

Used proton from almost day one, and moved a few months ago to skiff. I like what they offer and how they improve and implement

Decentralizr,

Reminds me on simplex they have a source code published tho

Decentralizr,

Check skiff.com one click move from Gmail and co. Encryption matters!

Decentralizr,

skiff.com/blog/gmail-import

And for proton and others all one click

Decentralizr,

You can! On android even within the settings.

Decentralizr,

I am super confused?! You charge 299 usd for something a browser can do for free.

Decentralizr,

Oh wow and it shows a picture of nordvpn one of the worst…

Decentralizr,

Research some of the history and who owns the company etc… I would need to DuckDuckGo it myself so I leave it to you… they been having a leak for years before addressed etc… it been a while back again. All public domain for research

First hit after nordvpn leak on ddg

techradar.com/…/whats-the-truth-about-the-nordvpn…

But most of all the referral commission they pay… together with express everyone recommend it for the referral commission… make a research and you find out why. IVPN and Mullvad need no IP logs no email etc… that’s the once I would recommend

Decentralizr,

Also check who owns the company

Decentralizr,

GrapheneOS is unmatched when it comes to security features including hardening. Don’t get me wrong calyx is great and when you like to use microG then it’s there. With graphene you can also install google play and framework (if you wish so) but in a different approach. It’s like a normal app. So you can do it with network access given or not even etc… it’s worth to test out also the profiles and separate your life into profiles… you can have on one google service on one not etc… and all getting push notifications. Most banking apps work (to be honest very had any issues.)

With calyx like I say it’s a privacy but not security hardened approach. And calyx been back in security updates what been pushed from google sometimes for months. For me it’s a clear choice but it’s your call…

Decentralizr,

That can’t be correct? That would make me way older than I thought I am. Damn and I was not even young then

Decentralizr,

Switched a while back from proton to skiff and loving it. Also the send emails later feature is great.

Decentralizr,

Do I miss a post to you just said brave browser?

Let me try then

Firefox

Decentralizr,

Ente is great! Using it since a month and really loving it

Decentralizr,

This is actually more than welcome. I never understood why you could have your signal on your phone and ipad, but not on two phones. Applaud molly to do so!

Decentralizr,

skiff.com/open-source

Skiff is pretty good, I switched from proton over as they had a good one year promo and I found it fits better on what I need. The drive and page setup is pretty good too and so is the calendar. Overall I like skiff and they update and add a lot almost weekly. Big fan so far

Decentralizr,

You could use DNS and stick with Vanadium. AdGuard, nextdns, decloudus, Mullvad… all good for ad blocking and probably more effective as it’s system wide

Decentralizr,

Metager.org could also be a good daily drive

Decentralizr,

X’ed the bird… Use biometrics and share it… What can go wrong

How Much Spying do We as a Society Wish to Allow? (www.youtube.com)

Almost everything based in technology spies on everyone now a days and most people are alright with it. I don’t understand why people are okay knowing this spying exists. Louis Rossman does a great job here showing us the disgusting tactics used by big corporations to gaslight people into believing them over what these...

Decentralizr,

Ah don’t understand why people overreact… We have nothing to hide… Its that what everyone says? But in case that wasn’t clean… First line was sarcasm

Decentralizr,

Why would you need to? Did you ever trust chrome? And google?

Decentralizr,

Check decloudus.com

Decentralizr,

Yes for the browser i agree, sadly apps have trackers and ads too. A dns can be useful if it’s system wide for all that stuff. Nextdns, adguard, rethinkdns or decloudus comes to mind

Decentralizr,

To setup an esim you need google framework and play installed (grapheneos is out, except you install Google)

This is the idea behind… More control

Decentralizr,

It’s somewhere on the GrapheneOS website, Says to install you need google play, you can delete it afterwords. That said calyx has microg

Decentralizr,

Happy birthday, in behave from the Internet and is friends

Decentralizr,

Home grown taste like a real tomato, the super Market once taste mostly like water

Decentralizr,

Hmm I have no such issues

Decentralizr,

As far as I remember, that was back in 2021, and except some Meta data not much what could been shared. If they have been approached under Swiss law, nothing can be done.

Best Linux Distro Privacy/Usability for a mid level user

What do you think is the best linux distro for a user who wants to migrate from windows in terms of privacy, usability and respect for the FOSS spirit?

I'm thinking to give a chance to https://elementary.io

@privacy @linux

Decentralizr,

I would say elementary is easy for new users? What did I miss haha. This said I go with fedora or popos for new users.

Decentralizr,

Matrix or Jitsi when it comes to privacy. Microsoft vs. Slack is the totally wrong approach when it comes to privacy.

Decentralizr,

Matrix has channels. Or what are you referring to? I did nor use slack since many years

Decentralizr,

Yes matrix has that, rooms and also spaces

Decentralizr,

Own server is always the most private, but you can use any instance and should be fine. Its e2ee, so you should have a way better setup as with slack or Microsoft

Decentralizr,

Looks interesting, yet not open source? What is a d-payment? Some own coin stuff or erc20? Anyhow, I never used any of the two, and I wonder why we need more?

Decentralizr,

Jitsi, perhaps matrix (element), signal (has tell number) works too. Threema also added video into it… and an unpopular one brave (has it without signing in, within the browser)

Decentralizr,

Cakewallet?

Decentralizr,

I am not an nft guy, so I have no idea. But monero absolutely, including getting a visa card what works paying with xmr

Decentralizr,

cakepay.com

Decentralizr,

That is a sad reality when it comes to samsung. Beat you can do is adb the apps away you don’t want, and use rethinkdns (firewall) combined with the dns of them, nextdns or decloudus.

Is not GrapheneOS, but it’s a little more private as out of the box.
