what are your recommendations for a good privacy friendly sms app?

Hello, currently I use qksms but its very problematic and lacks basic fetures. One of those issues being you cant send videos, and sending and recieving media is pixalated or blurry because of a commpresion issue. I’ve already tried adjusting the compresion options in settings to find out it doesn’t work....

TheOSINTguy,

I understand thats its sent in plain text, I just want something that works and doesn’t have trackers built in.

I already tried getting my family and friends to use signal, so that cant really be done because none of them want to use it.

TheOSINTguy,

Not to also mention that the dev for qksms hasn’t fixed some issues from 2017.

TheOSINTguy,

Inspector element goes crazy.

    TheOSINTguy,

    Sounds like a bot net.

    And so is a IR flashlight!

    Nord has a bad reputation for privacy, maybe change your provider? Use mullvad or proton if you want a better experience.

    I think it would be safe to assume that they are blocking some things due to their background, that could be your problem.

    issues with QbitTorrent stalled torrents

    I am just getting back my sea legs, but apparently they’re pretty shaky because I can’t get my ubuntu torrent (no seriously, it is) to download. It never starts downloading and is stuck in “stalled”. I’ve tried a number of things, but even with default settings it isn’t starting. I’m using proton VPN on Linux Mint,...

    TheOSINTguy,

    I think you are using the free version of proton vpn.

    With proton vpn you have to pay to use BitTorrent or other p2p stuff. It’s how they fund the free tier.

    It could also be your ISP blocking torrent traffic.

    You could try using quad9 dns and enable DNS over HTTPS on your system and do DDL.

    There is also ECH (very hard to get working) but is amazing at bypassing content blocks.

    Edit: unlikely that you would want to take the time to set it up but DNScrypt is amazing especially when you have annoying captive portals at a coffee shop. Requires some setup before you try to bypass.

    TheOSINTguy,

    Could be just a bad torrent or bad config in qBitTorrent

    I sandbox stuff, using firejail or VM’s. coming from a cybersecurity perspective, AV’s are ok but they also aren’t stoping 0-days or malware that has been coded well by a good hacker.

    TheOSINTguy,

    At that point I would find a used radeon 6400, but even then the card would probably be bottlenecked by the cpu/ram and many other factors.

    Everybody is supporting Firefox, but no one wants to use it. Because it is destroying itself. (discuss.tchncs.de)

    Mozilla’s stable browser is not stable enough. especially the Android-based one. They are destroying that amazing browser with every single update. Mozilla converted Firefox from a great-promising browser to a crappy, useless browser. Don’t you think so?

    TheOSINTguy,
