Hi there, On my router/modem I cannot change the DNS entries, thus just using Adguard/PiHole for DNS blocking ads doesn’t work. Would a seperate Router circumvent this problem? Could I set up Adguard (or PiHole) on a Raspberry and use it as a DNS server for my home network?...

A ported version is available for Mac.
It supports to transfer files, clipboard, able to access/send SMS, use it as remote keyboard/mouse, pass terminal commands from mobile to pc and many more without Google.

Hi everyone, Last month I finally managed to build my first SFF PC (Ryzen 7600 + AMD 6800). I’m also starting to learn about self-hosting and tinkering with it (the usual stuff: Jellyfin, pi-hole, nextcloud, VPN, torrenting etc.)...
A lot of privacy guides suggest avoiding Telegram. I understand that in its default mode there’s no E2EE (and no E2EE for groups at all). If people I know don’t wanttko use Signal, isn’t Telegram the lesser evil given it’s nicer privacy policy (than other popular ones)?...
My account was compromised once, though I have 2FA enabled. I assume that I was accessing my account from a browser on a windows pc, it had virus but not 100% sure. Someone was able to access it, change my name send multiple crypto related links to users in bulk.
It contained years of chat history with my wife. I was able to recover the account. But I deleted all the chat history.
I still use it to get alerts from various automated scripts I use, mostly for the bots with free API access. No personal data go in there.
The mistake might be from my side. But if someone takes over your account, you lose everything.
An app designed by US company doesn’t represent anything related to security.
The founder of telegram always complains that the FBI has access to signal, apple and other related chat apps.
He suggests to use private chat, if it is confidential. The message transactions happens between peer to peer and it doesn’t go to the server. He was claiming all the privacy feature that you get from signal is the almost same as private chat. Signal stil uses the server.
I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I...
My pc is logged in with my reddit account. Few Google results take me to reddit, I use only that time. I don’t visit reddit to see what’s happening there.
If you start storing the password and 2FA at the same place, it defetes the purpose of the 2nd factor authentication. Better to keep them in two places.
Without the passwords the 2fa codes are nothing. Even if your password manager got hacked, most of your accounts would be safe as the 2fa is not there.

Aside from the lack of E2EE, why is Telegram not trustworthy?
