Time to switch to uBlock Lite or another ad blocker browser. Firefox fully supports ad blockers like uBlock Origin. LibreWolf removes all the Mozilla nonsense like Pocket, their new advertising crap, sponsored sites, etc. and comes with uBO preinstalled. There’s also an official Lemmy community for it: !librewolf@lemmy.ml

Cellebrite is developed in Israel, a country that legally should even exist, and is known for genocide, crime, espionage, manipulation and propaganda, more war crimes, illegal settlements, using their intelligence agency to assassinate political opponents abroad, etc.

The so-called “only democracy in the middle east”

Although lockdown mode is a good step and helps defend against biometric warrents, it does not wipe the encryption keys from RAM. This can only be achieved by using a secondary (non-default) user profile on GrapheneOS, and triggering the End session feature. This fully removes the cryptographic secrets from memory, and requires the PIN or password to unlock, which is enforced through the StrongBox and Weaver API of the Titan M2 secure element in Pixel devices.

You can use GrapheneOS, a security-focused version of Android which includes auto-reboot, timers that automatically turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth after you don’t use them for a certain period of time, a duress PIN/Password that wipes all the data from your device after it’s entered, as well as many other incredibly useful features.

It’s fully hardened from the ground up, including the Linux kernel, C library, memory allocator, SELinux policies, default firewall rules, and other vital system components.

Calyx just copied the code from GrapheneOS, and I believe they still use the old GrapheneOS default of 72 hours

Violentmonkey > Tampermonkey, it’s fully open source

BitSearch still works

Peppermint - not Ubuntu, but Debian, so it’s pretty similar

32MB was massive for documents at the time. It could hold your entire academic life back then.

Nowadays you need like 32 Gigabytes lol

Buying a Pixel is a good idea, especially if you put GrapheneOS on it. It’s by far the best mobile operating system I’ve ever used.

Mullvad VPN offers Brave Search as a backend in their Leta search engine proxy. That way you don’t have to access Brave directly.

I currently really enjoy self-hosted Perplexica (a FOSS alternative to the Perplexity AI search engine), which uses SearXNG as a meta-crawler, and Ollama for local AI integration. I’m very happy with it, but it requires a fairly powerful server (not a Raspberry Pi or another SBC, the only one that might work is the Nvidia Jetson or whatever it’s called, but I haven’t tried that yet).

But GrapheneOS works on them.

And GrapheneOS has call recording btw

Again, many apps are broken.

Which apps do you mean? Most apps work just fine on GOS, even many banking apps and others that require proprietary Google Play services. The only apps that don’t work, are those that make use of Google’s completely stupid “Play Protect” API, which claims to verify that a device is secure, but in reality has absolutely nothing to do with security. Google (and other Big Tech companies) don’t give a single fuck about your security. It’s not Graphene’s fault, and has to do with nothing more than Google’s monopolistic practices. It’s designed in a way, where an operating system has to be manually whitelisted by Google, in order to get certified. Obviously, they only allowlisted their own spyware-filled proprietary OS, which is less secure than Graphene.

Fairphone might be interesting

Unfortunately Fairphones are highly insecure, shipping with a completely broken implementation of Android Verified Boot, and using the publically available AOSP test private signing keys by default to sign the OS. They also lack all the hardware security features present in modern Pixel devices.

When do you think will Valve enable this by default in SteamOS? It would greatly help the little Steam Deck with playing more performance-intensive titles.

I think all the crypto scams, all the shitcoins, NFTs and other blockchain bullshit were much worse. At least AI companies usually don’t require you to give them large sums of money, they’re only after your data and absolutely fuck the environment by wasting absurd amounts of power, but they don’t try to take away your life savings

No shit

Do you also use it for TOTP?

Proton Pass is not the only password manager with email aliasing integration. For example, 1Password integrates with Fastmail aliases, and Bitwarden can be used with multiple services: addy.io, SimpleLogin, Firefox Relay, Fastmail, DuckDuckGo Email Protection, and Forward Email.

One of my favorites is the built-in ssh-agent.

You can accomplish the same thing using Bitwarden, completely for free: https://github.com/joaojacome/bitwarden-ssh-agent
