Then your password (your other, "first" factor) is the only thing preventing an intruder impersonates you.

You'll still have to go through the hassle the now useless second factor puts you through, so you might as well update your second factor even if you trust your first to be very secure.

It’s also on FDroid

Actually, it doesn't seem to be there https://search.f-droid.org/?q=futo&lang=en

and available via Obtainium/Github

IDK about obtanium, but IIUC the sources are on their gitlab instance https://gitlab.futo.org/alex/latinime

IDK about each specific requirement (especially the "inactivity" one, but ... dude, just log in every 6 months), but I'd say a lot of "privacy" email providers should meet your needs.

Try looking into Proton mail (warning: you'll have to setup a local relay if you need IMAP/SMTP) or maybe search the web for something like "privacy email provider free" and look into the results.

If you actually read OP post, they are not asking for the moon and... definitely non "demanding" anything.

That sounds a lot like "doesn't matter what words actually mean. I am right nonetheless".

...but I'm sure you'll have some personal definition of "semantics" that will allow you to say you are still right, just like you could say "beggars can't be choosers" in a context where no one is a beggar and there are in fact lots of viable choices.

It's pretty easy to find articles confirming the Musk/Signal thing https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=musk+signal&iar=news&ia=news

Of course most of the rest is speculation, but... the article seems honest enough about it?

You should ask the seller to make sure, but I'd assume those cards will require KYC on activation? I mean, if Romania requires KYC it's difficult to think someone can sell anonymous cards on ebay.

To be fair: previous generations of police officers, back when most people used phones, have made extensive use of wiretapping (and current policemen still do, of course).

You seem to be describing the US system (or some other common law one... but I believe district attorney is a US-specific term?)...

IDK about other EU countries (I guess they are all the same in this regard?), but in my Italy the public prosecutor has zero discretionary power when it comes to indictment and must, per the Italian Constitution, proceed based on the investigation outcomes. So there is no "help me catch the bigger fish and I'll only charge you with some minor crime" like in the movies.

So... yes, what you describe can happen to anyone, but it can't happen just anywhere :)

You create a new raid array with the two new disks and move the data there?
I fear you'll have to be more specific about what doesn't add up for you...

In your shoes I'd do just that (booting from a usb stick and creating/mounting the appropriate partitions in the new drives)... but you might find resilvering or resizing partitions easier if you are more familiar with those operations that I am.

It must be said that actually copying the files rather than working with block devices will let you switch to a different filesystem (or take advantage of updates/optimizations recently introduced by your filesystem) or use different mount options (eg. add compression) and should in theory lead to better performance (eg. less fragmentation). In a homelab the performance difference will probably be unnoticeable anyways so... just go with the method you are most comfortable with :)

Makes perfect sense to me (not a lawyer, not a US person)... what doesn't make sense is how many people still think biometric is high security (maybe because of how cool they make it look in the movies?)

Didn't you know? Disabling ad blockers ensures free speech and apparently may also peacefully end the current crisis in the middle east... oh, did I mention it helps with world hunger too?
