If you're not very happy with Firefox for Android, consider switching to Bromite [0]. It's based on Chromium, but includes many privacy patches, including ad blocking, and is completely open source. Releases are available through

Both LineageOS and GrapheneOS have this feature, it was extremely useful in the past, until FBE (File Based Encryption) took over from FDE (Full Disk Encryption). You can't separate the lockscreen password and the startup password anym

Take a look at Huginn [0], it's very powerful with the existing agents for taking input, parsing, and outputting data to different locations. I use it mainly for when I can't do things in IFTTT or have sensitive things I'd pr

That you know of also ;) Many privacy-concious people opt for software that allows them to verifiably control their hardware, be it desktop/laptop or smartphone. Some will go the extra step to physically remove or disable microphones a

Eh, you should clarify that this is not an AOSP lockscreen. It looks like Huawei's EMUI, which is quite heavily modified and might simply be a translation error.

I've been running a WireGuard VPN on my OpenWrt router for quite a while with no issues whatsoever. Rock solid since I set it up, only has a 4 or 5 peers, but it's been excellent and I highly suggest it versus adding yet another s

I found the speeds to be lacking quite a bit and it was never completely reliable with both the WireGuard app and the official Android app, which also doesn't support split tunneling or allowing specific apps to bypass the interface. I

Very glad to see WireGuard getting more adoption. I've been using it while mobile and traveling and it's been absolutely rock solid. OpenWrt router back at home, multiple Android devices and Fedora machines connecting back that ju

I've also got most to switch to Signal. On Android, it's much easier as it can handle both SMS and Signal messages, so there's much less friction for usage. Group chats are also fairly decent on Signal, I just wish there was

Just an FYI for other, you can also suffix your search with this, so if you type it all out and decide you need to hit up your !g fallback, it still works at the end.

I'm using a USB-A DisplayLink adapter with a USB-C OTG adapter on my device, works very well for traveling, but yeah definitely wish there was one that was just straight USB-C and had a power pass-through. Supposedly a few docks are co

Termux [0] is an excellent "other" method of having access to A LOT of GNU/Linux and FOSS tools on any Android device. You can also chroot a full distribution on it and get access to all the packages available from that distr

While I don't currently have a link, depending on which model you have, CABC (Content Adaptive Brightness Control) can be disable officially, as well as unofficially. I have an XPS 13 9350 with a 1080P matte display, with CABC disabled

Absolutely, heed this. Nothing will make some people stop reading like the laziness (in my opinion) of incorrect spelling and grammar. You're not always publishing in your (or someone else's) native tongue, but there are services

I would continue to purchase Pebbles. I have a few (too many than I want to admit) in storage that I take out, update with my settings, half charge, and then put back in my fire safe. There really isn't anything else that I've fou

Ironically, this page is neigh unreadable on mobile. It's all squished due to the absurd first party "ad" on the right column which, coupled with the related posts right below, makes it hard to distinguish the actual content

IANAL, but doesn't vandalism sorta need destruction or damage to happen? That level is destruction is open to interpretation, but it still requires some form of destruction or damage to be classified as vandalism.

If you can't trust a manufacturer to make software that does what you're told it does, what makes you trust the same manufacturer to make hardware that will physically disconnect? Similar steps would have to be taken for monitorin

Yes it does, it integrates very well on Android -- very similar "invisibility" that iMessage has on iPhones.

Nope. Get this -- not even GrapheneOS includes it in their prebuilt images. It's better you install it directly from the source (either their site or Google Play).

I have a few ESP8266 projects and WiFiManager [0] makes this a breeze. Configure a default AP/hotspot, Android and iOS will connect and follow their respective flows for captive-portals. This allows you to grab config from the user and

To some, it's a game, it's a challenge, and it comes with recognition and/or reward -- potentially in the way of private services or paid requests. Or, as the quote goes, "some men just want to watch the world burn"

Rainbow tables aren't really applicable to WPA2 due to the way offline cracking is done. You would have to pre-generate them for each possible SSID. You're much better off using a small targeted dictionary with rules.

What about my comment is FUD? Regardless of the fact that builds are reproducible, F-Droid has infrastructure. How is that infra secured? How are the servers that store signing keys secured? How are the build servers accessed? How is the ac

by h4waii 7y ago
Who do you trust more, to secure their infrastructure? Google or F-Droid / a bunch of volunteers who may or may not be very security-conscious? Not to downplay the effort that F-Droid contributors (or any Android FOSS groups) make, but
