Pantherina , to Technology in Internet forums are disappearing because now it's all Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

Discourse is awesome. Just needs federation.

As a mod, it is lovely to work with, extremely well indexed, has tags, categories, roles and everything you want.

Everything should be done there. Matrix or Discord make no sense, its just chatting into nirvana, nobody every finds it again

And people... dont... use... threads! They just spam everything in a single chat which makes it unusable

Pantherina , to Privacy in Are right wingers creating FUD around Signal?

Yes, "because one of their council is leftist pro censorship"

Like this crap

Pantherina , to linuxmemes in "LiNuX uSeR iNsTaLlInG A BrOwSeR haha" meanwhile :

Literally a KDE setting. In the GUI.

And nobody needs that, otherwise there would be a plasmoid.

Pantherina , to Privacy in How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest?

Not sure but GrapheneOS has an "LTE only" mode, stock Android only has preferred Network afaik.

visiting only known websites is not a scaleable option, a browser needs to be secure. Kiwix is the browser that basically runs desktop Chromium on Android, so it has Addon support. But that is also soon manifest v3 restricted, and likely pretty insecure.

of course the user data partition is not checked, but every other important one. I have not tested what would happen when it is modified though.

I dont know what magisk did, but I think that is only about Google Play adding their "safety" scanning to the OS. Nothing regarding boot. But yes, likely there could, can or should be OS components scanning things too.

Googles stuff is pretty insecure, for example the latest SafetyNetFix simply disabled hardware cryptography, as they still support insecure phones.

For sure this is very complex and there are always vulnerabilities found in Android and GrapheneOS.

Pantherina , to Privacy in How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest?

Yes that is one definition.

But what if you get it back? Or if you just keep it?

There is a chance that you have Pegasus on there, and I wouldnt want a phone without the detection of this.

GrapheneOS can likely detect pegasus with their Attestation and if you have it, use an external device to reflash it.

Not sure if VPN eliminates all risks with 2G and 3G, maybe it does.

Sandboxing, javascript

Vanadium has sandboxing but its javascript blocking is useless (no granular control)

Mull has no process isolation at all, but support for UBO and Noscript. Bad situation

it's a walk in the park for it to modify any of the partitions

These cannot be written without TPM verification or stuff, ask GrapheneOS devs about that, I dont know. The firmware signing is required, the verification will not be done inside the OS, that would be totally flawed.

If they have the firmware signing keys, they can fuck you. If they dont, they can only write to the system partition, and Attestation can see that.

Reading data has nothing to do with that. They likely can, but that doesnt matter.

My 6 years old phone still receives LOS updates

This will not include firmware and likely even the kernel.

Pantherina , to Privacy in The Best Secure Email Providers in 2024

Thanks! TLDR spamhaus (a big spamlist provider) has them on their spamlist, or maybe not, and they are using some fancy CDN.

It is VERY likely just a technical error.

Pantherina , to Privacy in How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest?

Yes I know, and I want to try DivestOS one time. But they do incomplete patches.

They cannot update the kernel themselves or even worse the firmware. The kernel needs to be built and patched for the specific hardware, GrapheneOS relies completely on Google here. And the firmware needs to be signed by the vendors, so no chance either.

And especially baseband, cellular stuff has extremely many vulnerabilities in the code.

Pantherina , to Free and Open Source Software in GIMP 2.10.38 Released

I mean I already reported 2 issues, but it still works. I can use it without big problems, I use the beta Flatpak (as explained in my flatpak remotes list).

Using Wayland too, Idk about any problems but if it wouldnt work I would just disable Wayland for the Flatpak and the app automatically runs through XWayland

Pantherina , to Free and Open Source Software in GIMP 2.10.38 Released

Dont use "stable" software people.

Gimp 3 is already very nice! Use it exclusively.

Pantherina , to Privacy in How Do I Prepare My Phone for a Protest?

I think 3a is already too old. I think 4a is a better minimum, but this is still insecure of course.

Pantherina , to Privacy in Which of the among is the best exif remover app?

Image toolbox is awesome, damn!

Pantherina , to Privacy in The Best Secure Email Providers in 2024

What, source?

How would you block an OS?

And btw there are some reasons why GrapheneOS may be criticised
