_haha_oh_wow_, in At COP28, 12,000 surveillance cameras are causing privacy concerns

I’m a lot more concerned about this whole thing being poisoned by wealthy oil barons with no regard for anything but profit, but what do I know?

Carter, in The state of open source SMS messagers

There’s just no point in developing an app for a dead service. Just use the AOSP messaging app when you need.

There is P-SMS which is a fork of QKSMS, that is what I use

oshitwaddup, in What are some good private email service?

I prefer tuta over proton, but both are good

governorkeagan,

I’ve not used Tuta but currently use Proton. What do you prefer from Tuta over Proton? Genuinely curious.

Tuta has a linux desktop app, and their android app is on fdroid and doesn’t depend on google play services. Plus they use green energy for their servers

I was tired of proton because their linux vpn app is pretty awful, especially if you use iwd instead of networkmanager like me. Plus they don’t even support ipv6. So I was switching to mullvad vpn (which has great linux support and ipv6), and then for the price of just email tuta was cheaper and better on all the things I mentioned without any downsides (to me), so I switched.

I like having email separate from my VPN provider to avoid putting all my eggs in one basket

I don’t currently use Proton VPN but have in the past and may in the future

ReversalHatchery, in Does Google still hold contact data after deleting from Google Contacts?

I don’t think there’s a factual answer to this question.
My take on it though is why would they delete it? They can make use of it in various ways, and in new ways every once in a while, and it’s not like as if you could prove it in court or even just find out that they didn’t delete your data.

Melody, in yubikey and USB

You should be safe if you are the only one with access to that computer.

If you are sharing the computer with another human being; please Unplug your Yubikey and take it with you when you are not using the computer and it is likely that another human being could be using the computer. Just to be safe; Do Not Leave Your Yubikey Plugged In If Another Person Is Using It…unless you’re authorizing them to access something.

Your Yubikey can’t tell who clicked it’s button as it is NOT a Fingerprint Reader.

sloppy_diffuser, in Is Proton Unlimited Worth renewing?

On a grandfathered visionary 2 year payment plan with a year remaining, so no change plans yet, but I’m keeping a list of annoyances and concerns for renewal considerations.

Email

  • Really want snooze/delayed email reminders for specific emails. What Mailbox from Dropbox? used to have, and Inbox had before it was merged with Gmail.
  • Annoyed I can’t delete pre-proton pass aliases
  • No android (bidirectional) contact syncing. Been using EteSync.
  • Have multiple family members on the plan

Calendar

  • Use daily. I had issues with the number of clicks it took when adding emailed invites that didn’t get picked up automatically. Have not noticed in awhile if this is still an issue but I also don’t get as many invites.

Passwords

  • I use BitWarden
  • Been using Proton Pass aliases, but I’m on the fence due to it creating a vendor lock-in situation

VPN

  • Use ProtonVPN for port forwarding situations.
  • Use Mullvad otherwise as my daily driver.

Drive

  • Proton - I use if I need to share a file with someone else in a pinch
  • rclone/b2 - Main off-site backup solution with my own encryption keys. RoundSync for android to backup my phone to b2.

I tried rclone proton support the week it was merged. Worked okay. I tried syncing some ISO backups though and it just sat forever. Didn’t troubleshoot and just kept using b2.

BVG is acronym for Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe, Berlin’s public transport agency.

I don’t know how much content there is to share, so you might be overflowing with things to talk about every week. But I fear that doing so much effort weekly could be unsustainable. I would suggest, or hope you consider, a less freqent blog/podcast, like every other week. I think this would be more modest, and easier to maintain. You wouldn’t need to change to title of the blog, either.

Anyway, this is an exciting project and I’m thankful for your work.

@jonah you’re alive! Welcome back, this server needs 4 months worth of maintenance!

otter, (edited ) in This Week in Privacy (#1)

This is great! The length and tone was perfect IMO

Hope you guys do these for a while to come :)

mdd, in Does Google still hold contact data after deleting from Google Contacts?

I’m pessimistic when it comes to companies using my data but I assume they will use and abuse that info forever.

Showroom7561, in UK proposes selfie-based, AI age verification system for porn sites

What’s the porn site going to do when AI determines that a 15 year old is over 18?

“Judge, I swear the AI said she was 18!”
