MigratingtoLemmy,

Unfortunately, Firefox is the best option right now, and it works rather well, unlike about 5-6 years back when it was horrible.

I’ll use Librewolf and Ungoogled-Chromium

MigratingtoLemmy,

The only reason SBCs were ever relevant is because of the excellent pricing, which has now been matched by used x86 computers. That and if the SBC had an open-source design/implementation (open schematics on RISC-V)

MigratingtoLemmy,

I think you replied to the wrong comment haha

MigratingtoLemmy,

The NSA has always had multiple 0-days for TOR, but that’s beside the point. The current rumour is that the NSA controls more than half of the traffic on the TOR network, courtesy of them owning a massive number of high-performance nodes.

I’m going to read more on how i2p works, but if I see more NSA involvement I’m bucking out of that too

  1. Use DoT
  2. Use Librewolf
  3. TOR has been compromised, use it sparingly.

Understand the fight. We have three major pipelines for leakage of inferences/data on the internet:

  1. IP
  2. Metadata
  3. Content we produce
MigratingtoLemmy,

The license gives me the ick, so I’d never

MigratingtoLemmy,

Docker can be run rootless. Podman is rootless by default.

I build certain containers from scratch. Very popular FOSS software can be trusted, but if you’re as paranoid, you should probably run the bare-minimum software in the first-place.

It’s a mess if you’re not used to it. But yes, normal unix networking is somewhat simpler (like someone mentioned, LXC containers can be a decent idea). Well, you’ll realise that Docker is not really top-dog in terms of complexity when you start playing with the big boys like full-fledged k8s

Me vs my ISP

So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It’s concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you....

MigratingtoLemmy,

Whatever works. I prefer OpenVPN/Softether for their SSL VPN implementations, and am too lazy to be arsed to deal with stunnel and Wireguard. But if you’re not as paranoid then Wireguard works perfectly fine

MigratingtoLemmy,

Yup. I’ll open a port in a cheap VPS and tunnel my traffic over that rather than directly open ports on my router. If people here can trust Cloudflare they can use their tunnels too

How many of you run a Linux phone (Pine64, Librem etc) as your daily driver?

I was going through Pine64’s page again after I found the latest KDE announcement. With that said, I seem to see a lot of issues with firmware on the Pine, whilst the Librem is just plain out of budget for me. Was interested in how many people here run a Linux mobile as a daily driver, and how has your experience been?...

MigratingtoLemmy,

You get more options

MigratingtoLemmy,

I’m interested in the problems you faced. I have realised that I will need GMS/MicroG for maps, and am unclear if I can get a FOSS app to host my local mail inbox without GMS. Other than that, everything else can be done in the browser (technically even maps can be used in the browser but I digress).

Would like to know which services prevent you from leaving Google

MigratingtoLemmy,

Just so happens to be the only one in the USA

MigratingtoLemmy,

Yes

MigratingtoLemmy,

Essentially, your usage of your mobile ends with calling?

Unfortunately, that won’t work for me since I need a browser to check my accounts and other needs on the move

MigratingtoLemmy,

How do you do instant messaging? Isn’t typing with that harder than average?

MigratingtoLemmy,

I completely agree with your statement (that’s how my day goes too), but I wanted a mobile device. Thanks

MigratingtoLemmy,

200K so I’d be able to purchase a decent flat

MigratingtoLemmy,

Forgejo please. Gitea was acquired by a for-profit company

MigratingtoLemmy,

Forgejo for you chap.

Honestly I’m kind of surprised that Gitea is still being recommended on Lemmy, it’s been a while since Gitea was acquired and the community has been raging since. Lemmy is regressing

MigratingtoLemmy,

Include IoT and maybe electrical engineering in that if you’re hard-core into cheap little devices/sensors from Aliexpress/Taobao

MigratingtoLemmy,

Yes

MigratingtoLemmy,

Ah, I completely missed this. Of course they use Cloudflare, perhaps the biggest MiTM-service on the planet.

Thanks, this makes a lot of sense
