If you’re looking for something to use with actual accounts (like banking), use hardened Firefox (with arkenfox) or a hardened chromium browser. Neither Mullvad Browser nor LibreWolf (and especially NOT Tor) are designed for that use case.

I wonder if my one bank doesn’t like Librewolf. I logged in no issue on Ungoogled Chromium, but got a “security warning” on LW. Meanwhile Discover doesn’t give a fuck and works when it wants to on either (read: never). Paypal worked fine on LW. I do use a Banking container on LW and turn off VPN, but banks are making it harder to go no app…

Can’t you just use Ublock with advanced mode on and have the same thing as NoScript?

Yeah, my brain dumb. Edited the original post to say 4.

Okay, how do you get sanoid & syncoid to run, because I’ve tried, and I’m just too dummy. When it makes a backup, is it literally making a zfs data record/pool/whatever on the other machine? Or is it more like a file? I have a Proxmox running cockpit (SMB & NFS) and the machine is connected to a USB drive bay that has ZFS. My immich is saving pictures to my ZFS drive bay via SMB.

I’ve tried to do

syncoid pool_name/data/immich root@cockpit.service.IP.addr:mnt/samba/backups

but I get hit with:

WARNING: ZFS resume feature not available on target machine - sync will continue without resume support.

I’ve tried reading the github docs and some forums but I’m dummy. I just want to have backups that I can encrypt and keep in a cloud for cheap somewhere. Does it literally have to be two different machines (god I’m dumb)? Can I just auto run ZFS snapshots and encrypt then save those to Drive/OneDrive/Whoever?

Thank you for the wonderful response! I figured it was kinda like Fediverse, but I was lost if the difference in features caused issues with where your account was made. I made an account on conversations.im and now use Movim on browser and Conversations (from F-droid) on my phone. I need to start finding communities!

Thanks, this article was great. I guess I’ll finally check out XMPP, cause Matrix was… really mid when I tried it a few months ago and put me off. SimpleX was a mess too.

Side note, I get that the movim UI/Client is web only, but does that mean I can’t access Conversations.im (I know the app/client itself is Android only) on movim? I feel a little ashamed that I can’t understand this…

Uh yeah? I never said Pixels are Chinese. I use GOS on my Pixel 8a and I love it. I just don’t like the fact that Google is our only option right know if you want a degoogled phone that also cares about security.

And I also never said anything about app issues with Graphene? Most have worked flawlessly (I do have play services installed tbf), the only ones that didn’t were Paypal and my debit card bank (credit one works though), and in Veronica’s video I saw she had PayPal downloaded, so I guess they fixed it in the time that I tried to get it to work.

But I hope Linux phones become viable soon, as AOSP is a sinking ship as long as Google is the head of it.

• Wait for real Linux phones to become viable and use that in a couple years

God, as a GOS user I want this so bad. I know I can buy used, but having that G on the back of my phone feels dirty. I refuse to go back to Apple, Samsung sucks ass, and I don’t want Chinese phones, so I’m stuck here. But I want to be free.

I keep bitching about my Galaxy Tab A9+ and I will till the day I die. I fucking hate that thing for not having any Custom ROMs, and I despise the fact that it doesn’t allow OEM unlocking (afaik). I mean, it was a gift, so I still appreciate it, but MAN will I never buy Samsung with my own money ever.

Anyway I wish people would stop crying for Samsung Graphene while knowing full well that Samsung is essentially the Apple of the Android world; Locked down to all hell.

It’d be nice to not have to buy Google anything, but I want security, to be able to use most of my apps, and I don’t wanna buy a Chinese phone, so here we are.

GDPR is nice and all, but people have been fighting chat control and all its hydra heads for years now, so no.

But I’m an American so what do I know?
