Sadly Plex collects some data about its users. I remember opting out of some telemetry stuff but I can't remember where that was. If you want a self-hosted streaming service like Plex that completely respects your privacy, Jellyfin is what you're looking for. I tried it and it's okay but not as good as Plex imo. But if your main focus is privacy then you should definitely check it out. It's FOSS.
Edit:
I found where I had to opt out some data collection for Plex. Open this site, scroll halfway down the page. You'lle see two checkboxes for "Send playback data to Plex" and "Advertising Consent".
Yeah I tried Jellyfin too but Plex is much better. I just threw it in the list because I figured it was better than having a bunch of video and music streaming services.
Shouldnt be able to brick because it uses ADB debugging. Protected system files still can’t be altered, therefore factory reset would fix and problem with system instability.
Why? Don’t get me wrong, I have an Omnia as well and think it’s awesome, but I use it as an all-in-one router, as a pure wireless access point I’m sure you could get something less expensive.
Ublock Origin as ads have lots of malware these days and browsing the internet is a normal occurance. I think looking at it that way it gets used far more than any other tool.
I have to say my faith in signal has been shattered since I got crosstalk on a signal conversation. I still can’t imagine how that’s possible but it was there, clear as day.
Why is Obsidian on the list?? How is a closed source electron app for editing markdown files a good cybersecurity tool/privacy respecting? I could use nano to do the same job with much more confidence for my privacy.
I’m not sure I follow the closed source bit. For example, Virus Total is closed source but a something used by cybersecurity professionals across the world. Most of the software that powers cloud giants is closed source and security professionals everywhere accept the shared security model.
Closed source matters for encryption, not necessarily tooling. It’s a red herring unless you’re talking about a tool’s ability to encrypt/decrypt.
I dunno, if my VPN came out and said “heads up, one of our servers was seized and you have literally nothing to worry about because nothing is stored or logged on our servers,” that’s good news IMO. Obviously the best case scenario is not having it seized, but sometimes that’s not possible, and it’s a mark of a good VPN when the consequences to you of a server being seized are the same as if it wasn’t (i.e., none).
Yeah disclosure is always good its just odd the way they handled it
-no official post (yet)
-makes the announcement as a reply to a forum post even though they have a specific forum thread for this exact thing
-all of a sudden has a 7 year wait time on disclosures policy
-not written very professionally (i tend to assume english is a 2nd language for the staff but still as an orginization the staff should be a bit more refined).
I’m a user of airvpn. I like them but they do odd things like this, or being very obtuse about why they wont get audited.
I’m not really seeing much in the way of cybersecurity tools in this thread. These are all FOSS and usable without extra cost (although some have paid upgrades)
