Yeah I’ve seen these around since about 2020. Really nasty stuff and i have no clue how this hasnt been stopped by apple/google. Anyone know of a way to detect if anyone on your network has been infected? I guess monitoring bandwidth usage? Could an IPS/IDS also catch something like this?

For passwords bitwarden is basically the given standard

Yeah travelling with a Keepass vault of necessary accounts is starting to sound like the move

Can’t access the cloud without my passwords!

Guess I’ll be traveling with a handful of USBs with my encrypted totp keys.

Also, my phone has a duress password, anyone know if I could just get away with traveling with my phone as-is and just giving them my duress PW if need be?

Logs? Android apps can’t access other android apps logs

Yep, before I switched to a password manager in college I had 3-4 passwords I would use across all accounts, and I would constantly need to recover accounts because I would forget the PW.

I actually don’t remember the last time I needed to recover an account. Having a password manager has been a massive time savings for me.

Yeah I think I’ve got 600 distinct logins in my bitwarden at this point, lol.

To be honest, I thought the ux was the appeal of Zen, since if I wasn’t going to use that I’d probably use Mullvad browser, or vanilla FF with arkenfox

Personally, I can’t get used to the sidebar. I haven’t spent all that much time on it.

Interesting, that’s the guy that develops calibre as well

Likewise. I am loving koreader

There is a fork that is available on the izzyondroid repo

Huh this is news to me. Wonder why dd has been the defacto standard in guides everywhere for the past 15-20+ years

Tangentally related, FUTO put a bad taste in my mouth when they were harassing the graphene os team https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/113443396794247106

You can also set up MollySockets for notifications via unified push!

I agree with your points. I’d much rather a decentralized solution would pop up that would be easy to onboard “normies”.

As outlined in this mastodon thread, you can see a few pain points mentioned, a solution offered, but then there’s a glitch in fluffy chat that doesn’t allow for uName/PW sign up.

Decentralized alternatives are great in theory, but in order to gain the critical mass of users needed for a successful migration, there needs to be a happy middle that results in better/easier UX. Mastodon is much more fleshed out than matrix in this regard IMO as you don’t need to deal with key mgmt, yet you still see users migrating to a less mature platform, Bluesky.

Dessalines also has a good write up on a few of the other alternatives here. https://dessalines.github.io/essays/why_not_signal.html#abandonment-of-open-source

Matrix, however, also exposes metadata that can be used to link who is talking to who

GNUNet seems promising

The only instance of being hostile to a 3rd party developer was when they used their name (a trademark) open signal I think it was?

MollyIm has been alive and well for years. Are there other instances I’m missing?

Other than that, yes signal is definitely better than WhatsApp with the amount of data they collect.

Onprem has always been cheaper. Cloud compute was the most successful marketing campaign I can think of.

When did they claim to be an expert??
