privacy

Hi everyone :)...

I’ve looked through most posts here and on reddit and it seems pretty bleak, but maybe someone here knows an app that’s somehow miraculously unaffected by the rate limiting? I know I could just not use instagram at all, but I mostly use it to keep up with local and international activism and most of these organizations...

Hi! I started learning about privacy a few months ago and there is a few (many) things I’m struggling to understand and I would thank you if you could share some documentation/sites to learn more...

Especially on an android browser like Mull (especially) or DDG.

Just enabled DDG’s app track protection to test it out. Had Nekogram opened for a few mins, and Google already made 234 data collection attempts. I know the Big Guys are hungry for personal data, but this is absolutely ridiculous....

I just received a new Fire TV cube gen 3, because my old one is malfunctioning. I know, I hate these devices myself, but it’s the only option right now, since a new version of the Nvidia shield isn’t coming in the foreseeable future....

Looking for the best FOSS android app for Lemmy.

First off wanted to say thank you for everyone who chimed in on my last post a while ago starting my privacy journey...

themarkup.org/blacklight, I put in a few sites, including a full Reddit post URL and it reported 0 trackers. Does this site work well, are there other sites for seeing trackers on websites that work well?

I just got this email from Sony. My kids use their profiles offline (meaning they don’t even have a playstation account) on their PS4, and use my games. And now they want to allow kids to link their other accounts (my kids only have a SimpleX user to chat with their family, LOL)....

After the podcast show https://inteltechniques.com/podcast.html stopped putting out episodes, I’ve been on the lookout for other ones. Just stumbled upon The Lockdown (Practical Privacy & Security) and it seems rather good based on the first episode I listened to so thought i’d share it. But am still looking for more as I am...

I was using the Plasma Vaults feature for the first time on my Linux computer, and it worked nicely (GoCryptFS), but when I wanted to sync that folder on my Android… I just couldn’t find the right tool on Android for the job....

Hi guys!...

I’d like to be able to contribute financially to people/communities who run infrastructure, such as nodes, for layers like I2P and Freenet. Where do I find them, and does contributing directly to the projects themselves help in this regard?...

I have an app on my Android phone called Calls Blacklist. I whitelisted my contacts and block everything else. It blocks calls coming in on my mobile number, but I also have a Google Voice number that it doesn’t block calls for. Weird thing is that I only seem to get blocked spam calls after placing an outgoing call using the...

I am looking for some recomandations to add more wireguard servers. Right now I only have a few protonvpn free servers.

I have a NAS as my primary photo backup solution and one day someone will make a photo frame that I can point at it and it will just cycle through photos, but until that day, it’s just a blackhole of memories. That said, that blackhole is important enough to me that I also back up online....

Do ISP and library know what we read when we borrow books from platforms, such as Overdrive, with public library accounts? p.s. first post + app glitch can’t enter new line.

What harm does public data have to you? Couldn’t one just ignore the ads? You can’t see anyone watching you, is public data good for public records? (I’m just curious). I know this sounds weird but is public data good for historical preservation and knowledge increasing the importance of the individual? And does public...

Edit 2: For anyone finding this in the future, I chose Simplelogin simply (pun intended) because I was eligible for a 50% off coupon. If I couldnt have gotten that, I would instead use Firefox’s Relay because it’s super cheap and you support Mozilla in the process. People seem to forget that if Mozilla goes bankrupt and can...

Its very funny to me that I only learned about Invidious recently because youtube is trying to take it down. I will never open youtube ever again. Ive been using addblock/tracking blockers for a decade at this point but now I don’t even have to look at their shitty website with its ever degrading interface....

iOS is very good about sandboxing and only letting apps run things while the app is open and focused on. It shows green and orange dots when the camera or mic is being used, and none of my use them without saying so and they only do so when they actually need them. If that is the case, are there any potential privacy issues with...

I’ve never been super-impressed by Rob Braxman. I mean he’s never truly wrong in what he was saying in his Youtube videos, but his explanations are over-simplistic, a bit of a shortcut (but fair enough to reach a wide audience I guess), and mostly designed to sell his meh deGoogled cellphones and equally meh privacy...

When I was configuring my searxng I noticed a search engine that piqued my interest. Link: yep.com...

I was looking for a multi-OS file encrypter, for a single solution, and found this one: https://paranoiaworks.mobi/sse/pro_version_features.html...
