netchami,

Enable ‘Block connections without VPN’ in the Android VPN settings.

netchami,

Shizuku uses adb to grant apps elevated privileges, which unnecessarily increases attack surface. For security reasons, I would not use it.

[Question] Which shell prompt do you use and why?

Hi. I’ve been using powerlevel10k for a long time, but a few days ago, I decided I wanted to customize it a bit. I opened the .p10k.zsh file, and I was shocked. It’s really massive, with TONS of options. I’ve been digging through for a few hours already, and it’s absolutely amazing how much you can customize it without...

netchami,

I’ve been using zsh for some time, but I finally switched to fish. I also checked out Nushell, it lacks some features, but it’s really interesting. On zsh I was using Powerlevel10k, on Fish I used oh-my-fish with the shellder theme before I switched to Starship. I’m very happy with this setup. My prompt looks like this: https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/9e0ef0c1-d121-44c1-be99-4d03b19af6bb.webp

My Terminal Emulator of choice is kitty, the font is Monocraft.

netchami,

Have fun! Don’t hesitate to ask me via DM if you have a question or encounter any problems as I’d say I’m quite experienced with all the tools I listed.

netchami,

I use Vanadium for high-security tasks, but Mull is my default browser for standard browsing. It has better privacy, because it has built-in anti-fingerprinting mechanisms and you can actually install proper adblockers like uBlock Origin. Also, I don’t want to support Google’s monopoly on browser rendering engines by using a Chromium-based browser, so I prefer Mull which is based on Gecko.

netchami,

In terms of security, Vanadium is better than Mulch. Mulch uses some of the patches of Vanadium, but it lacks many security improvements that are present in Vanadium. My current setup is Vanadium for tasks where high security is very important, and Mull for just standard browsing.

(Please see comments)Alternatives to Signal if they exit EU due to ending E2EE

Like the title states looking for E2EE apps (Android and iOS) without going into much details or needs to be robust enough and easy to use for anyone and stable for operations that are susceptible to constant electronic warfare. I did some research and thought about replacing Signal with Molly and wondering if it will still work...

netchami,

Why would Signal stop accepting European phone numbers? It’s not like they want to leave the EU, they can just continue offering their services to EU users, but they can’t have servers or offices or any legal entities in the EU if they get banned. That’s not such a problem, you can access Signal over the internet from anywhere in the world, and if EU states start blocking Signal, you can still use Signal TLS proxies, good old VPNs or Tor. Edit: Signal is also banned in Iran, but they of course accept Iranian phone numbers, as they don’t impose the ban, the Iranian government does. You don’t really have to worry about this, I’m sure Signal will do everything in their power to continue to operate, even in jurisdictions in which it’s banned.

netchami,

They’re not from the EU

Signal isn’t from the EU either, so why would different rules apply to it than to Threema
