I dont know. That would be great.

Its only the 2nd modification i found i needed. The other was i had to enable webauth so I could use my yubikey.

Imprint9816,

I dont think piped skips in video ads, does it?

I know smartube app for android tvs works great though.

Imprint9816,

Every week i backup my vault and totp seeds to an encrypted cloud storage.

Imprint9816,

I get Norman Burg (Big O) vibes as well…

NextDNS with Vanadium.

To me, being able to use Vanadium in webview is a huge benefit.

Using DNS to block ads is relatively simple these days.

Imprint9816,

Pretty much all their big files are free leech. Start with a few popular to build ratio.

How do you even start with breaking up with your gmail?

I have this bad feeling daily that for whatever reason I loose access to my gmail. Don’t think of anything shady but simply I just loose it. There is a very small chance to it but still. You can read the stories that people uploaded their family photos to google drive and the algorithm marks their kids photos CP and they loose...

I started by having my gmail forward to an alias email that goes to a newer more privacy focused email.

From there I would just update account when I got an email from them or the next time I used an account. It is slower then just going through all your accounts on your password manager, but its less daunting and typically the accounts you use the most are going to get updated quickly anyway.

At this point my gmail functions as a “professional sounding” alias for when I am not going to bust out my phone to create an alias for something I am doing in person.

As for something like gdrive, best practice is to have more then one backup, and encrypt what you put on cloud servers to avoid any scanning issues.

Imprint9816,

seems more like you did not understand the terms, then some sort of bad intentioned marketing plan.

Imprint9816,

I think people forget how trash windscribe was for years or that they had one of their servers seized and private keys stolen in 2021.

They have made a lot of progress but its still odd how people ignore their past history.

“If you’re looking for a VPN provider that hasn’t had issues ever in their history, good luck. You’ll just end up with the ones who lie and cover up incidents.”

This is the type of ignorant statement makes it hard to take you seriously. First of all its not true, and if you really believed it, why waste time stanning for Windscribe? What’s your pitch? “They all suck so go with this one”

Sure, trustworthy VPNs are few and far between but they do exist. On the no port-forwarding side you have Mullvad, and IVPN and other newer ones that seem promising for now. On the port-forwarding side you have Proton and AirVPN with other newer ones that have some promise.

Even OVPN, who now has dubious ownership, has a far better track-record then Windscribe.

The issue is that authorities were able to retrieve the private key off the server. Yes, Windscribe adjusted afterwards but, it puts their security practices into major question. If you read their response to the situation it was a ton of side stepping the issue, trying to put blame on other VPNs, or trying to act like a government getting access to one of their private keys was not a big deal.

Windscribe is fine, back when they were shit-tier I grabbed a lifetime pro subscription for $30. For the common user, who just wants to download their very legal Linux ISOs on qbit its a good VPN. I just think Windscribe gets a pass on its history more so then a lot of other VPNs.

Imprint9816,

I propose a new challenge:

Don’t write anymore of these posts.

Imprint9816,

Its not really meant for privacy. Its a great rom for keeping an old phone up and going but you should consider divestos or grapheneos if privacy is your main concern.

Imprint9816,

From Kuketz - “Overall, LineageOS leaves neither a privacy-friendly nor really secure impression”

Imprint9816,

Kuketz did a great review of all these roms.

Imprint9816,

I just run the link through google translate.

Imprint9816,

Now that sync and infinity make lemmy a pretty seemless experience its become a lot more viable as a reddit alternative then it was when the protests started.
