ArcaneSlime ,

Look into installing a custom ROM, some phones are not supported but many are by at least one custom ROM. I personally installed GrapheneOS and recommend that or calyxOS (never used it but hear good things) but those are only available for pixels, iirc LineageOS has the widest support but also isn't quite as secure. F-droid and Aurora store for apps.

ArcaneSlime ,

Yup, and these are the hands we're given.

ArcaneSlime ,

routing all your internet traffic though one company

You mean my ISP which is known to monitor, censor, keep logs, and sell my info or Mullvad who hasn't been caught doing that yet?

ArcaneSlime ,

then the risk becomes the latest available jailbroken iOS could be outdated from the real versions

Flipper0: iOS 17 Lockup Crash has entered the chat juuuust to be annoying.

I don't know anything about Linux and the idea of installing it frightens me. Where do I start?

I bought a laptop yesterday, it came pre-installed with Windows 11. I hate win 11 so I switched it down to Windows 10, but then started considering using Linux for total control over the laptop, but here's the thing: I keep seeing memes about how complicated or fucky wucky Linux is to install and run. I love the idea of open...

ArcaneSlime ,

Tbh Fedora can be harder, or you can click "automatic" and let it fly lol.

Actually I was trying to set it up the way I was used to with the custom-blivet option like 2 days ago to upgrade to 40 and it wouldn't let me install because of some firmware or kernel bug (the error was unhelpful), so I tried auto and it worked! Not sure if it's because this laptop is dying though, and I have a framework coming in the next few weeks so who cares, but auto worked when custom wouldn't!

Why Your VPN May Not Be As Secure As It Claims ( krebsonsecurity.com )

Virtual private networking (VPN) companies market their services as a way to prevent anyone from snooping on your Internet usage. But new research suggests this is a dangerous assumption when connecting to a VPN via an untrusted network, because attackers on the same network could force a target’s traffic off of the protection...

ArcaneSlime ,

Well, my job better not, or they'll get a letter from their ISP about that torrenting I was actually told I could do when I asked!

Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose ( arstechnica.com )

Pulling this off requires high privileges in the network, so if this is done by intruder you're probably having a Really Bad Day anyway, but might be good to know if you're connecting to untrusted networks (public wifi etc). For now, if you need to be sure, either tether to Android - since the Android stack doesn't implement...

ArcaneSlime ,

Do we know which VPNs do have routing guards or an indirection layer? Especially out of the "good" ones; mullvad, proton, air, and IVPN?

ArcaneSlime ,

Damn I might have to go back to them. I just want port forwarding, is that so much to ask?!

ArcaneSlime ,

I wish I could find one that is just a little less ideological. Not that I have a problem with ideologies, but I have trust issues, and I've seen some people justify some shit in the name of their ideologies, and as such I don't fully trust someone with a policy like:

To be hosted on our servers you have to share our principles of anti-fascism, anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-homophobia, anti-transphobia, and anti-militarism. Your projects must as well be based on the same non-commercial nature which keep our project alive, and on the desire to share and experience relationships and struggles, with all the patience it requires.

for instance not to monitor my email to ensure I adhere even when they pinky swear they don't. Again, not that any of that would apply to me nor that they do spy but just the thought that they may us enough. Before someone says some smartass shit, I'd say the same for the opposite but idk many nazi mail providers.

I guess I'll have to pay, idk, maybe forward email. I'd pay proton if they'd just let me use imap/pop3 without some stupid "bridge."

ArcaneSlime ,

Yes, "and this is one of the limitations," is what I mean. This isn't just that one with the pretentious "AI" name, it's also riseup, disroot, etc.

ArcaneSlime ,

Well tell apple to let you sideload apps.

ArcaneSlime ,

I use scrambled, no complaints.

ArcaneSlime ,

My dude, thanks for this. I've been using && for a long time now but never knew the rest, I'm still pretty new to linux comparatively.

ArcaneSlime ,

Fdroid has Iphone stuff now?

ArcaneSlime ,

Them:

yup and it's great! Unfortunately there are not good iphone apps that work with omemo encryption.

It's really lightweight and that's such a great feeling.

You:

Search fdroid i have heard they some great ones (and used a good one for a very short amount of time).

Me:

Fdroid has Iphone stuff now?

They say there's no good apps for iPhone with OMEMO support, you say try fdroid, I question when fdroid added iPhone apps. It's all very straight forward, I can't explain it any better than this.

ArcaneSlime ,

Oh lol I was like "damn I didn't think iPhones can sideload, is this some European shit?"

ArcaneSlime ,

I use android I was just wondering when iPhones started letting people sideload. Recently heard they're making them usbc so I figured maybe it was new.

ArcaneSlime ,

Lol we've all been there!

ArcaneSlime ,

There's also "Newpipe X Sponsorblock" (iirc that's the name) on IzzyOnDroid's repo that incorporates it as well.

Never heard of tubular, do they make any other changes or is it just the SB integration?

ArcaneSlime ,

Oh cool, TIL thanks!

ArcaneSlime ,

Funny, this is actually based off of real life (or a real legend, anyway, not sure). This (at least supposedly) happened in India, and when the king stopped paying for dead cobras the farmers pivoted and that's where snake charmers came from!

ArcaneSlime ,

Quick Detach Organic Light-Emitting Diode?

ArcaneSlime ,

Lol thanks. I knew I was joking but I also didn't know the real answer haha.

ArcaneSlime ,

For me, for some packages, only the RPM works, and others only the flatpak works, and yet others still both work, or none. Seems highly dependant on something but tbh I'm too new to know if it's the packages themselves, something to do with dependencies, hardware, or whatever else.

ArcaneSlime ,

Idk, but I just picked up a flipper 0 and installed some custom firmware and there's a u2f app on it. I was wondering what that was, so thanks for the info, but to your question maybe that could be a solution (idk how that app works yet though, maybe not).

ArcaneSlime ,

"The Patriarchy" is not "men". The apparatus is called that because it's grown over a long period of our society being ruled primarily by men, that's all. It's a structure that victimises men as well as women.

Then frankly needlessly gendering the issue turns away would-be supporters with those that don't understand your coded language.

ArcaneSlime ,

Could've had more even if she already had some, still something!

ArcaneSlime ,

If your system is borked sometimes you can boot into those and fix it. I'm not yet good enough to utilize that myself though, I'm still fairly new to linux too.

ArcaneSlime ,

Try ctrl+shift+v, iirc in the terminal ctrl+v is used as some other shortcut (and probably has been since before it was standard for "paste" I'd bet).

Also linux uses two clipboards iirc, the ctrl+c/v and the right click+copy/paste are two distinct clipboards.

ArcaneSlime ,

From what I hear Edge is so privileged you can't remove it... well, you kinda just can't remove it.. but even if you can circumvent that the system starts fucking up because it needs it for those OS links.

ArcaneSlime ,

*Software: Idk, never really messed with pirating software, that's how you become part of someone's botnet.

*Movies and TV shows: Torrents and Usenet.

*Adult Content: Torrents and Usenet.

*Music: Slsk and yt-dlp.

ArcaneSlime ,

Torrents and usenet my dude. Unless you're looking for something real specific like Brazilian balloon popper fart porn, you'll find something.

ArcaneSlime ,

Even then I still don't think you could stop it. Maybe put a dent in it by taking down sites that host them, but all that'll do really is push indexers onto .onion or i2p, or make it so you share the torrent files by word of mouth or matrix/telegram groups, or back to IRC.

ArcaneSlime ,

He's right, usenet isn't p2p, but finding old movies there can be a challenge. Still, I manage just fine for old movies with ipt and tl for the most part, or the rare thing I can only find on soulseek of all places. Archive actually has a bunch too.

ArcaneSlime ,

Look into installing jackett too and then use the jackett plugin with the qbit search, better than stock qbit search plugins.

ArcaneSlime ,

This has been killing me too. Refuses to stay connected and I haven't figured out how to run kdeconnect (worked fine with mullvad's cli command lan set allow, doesn't work with airvpn's "allow lan" toggle.)

The fediverse Goodreads alternative: Bookwyrm ( bookwyrm.world )

If you are interested in sharing book recommendations with other, or just manage your books, then bookwyrm is great for that! The .world team also has a bookwyrm instance up and running at bookwyrm.world with a community here on lemmy as well at !bookwyrm. Read Ruuds original post about it here: https://lemmy.world/post/5904792...

ArcaneSlime ,

One could totally just add the manga they want, right? If it's on one of the supported sites like goodreads you can even clone the entry.

ArcaneSlime ,

So read your goodreads reviews, then when you decide "I'll read this one," go to your bookwyrm, "import from goodreads," read it, then review it on bookwyrm. Don't just complain about it, be about it, that's the only way it'll grow.

ArcaneSlime ,

Because "adversary" is clearly gender neutral and "man" is not, so "man" isn't able to continue it's double meaning as being short for "mankind" which itself is short for "humankind," for fears that it's exclusionary.

ArcaneSlime ,

Frankly I'd prefer if "news" orgs not have beliefs even if I do agree with them. I wish it was just all facts no spin.

ArcaneSlime ,

Maybe I'll do the newbie thing and keep trying out different distros,

My dude some people never stop distrohopping, it's not necessarily a "newbie thing." Do whatever you want, that's the beauty of it!

ArcaneSlime ,

mental illnessed.

You tired buddy? "Most mentally ill" lol.

ArcaneSlime ,

Not trying to be a dick just trying to help, but,

Dying*

ArcaneSlime ,

Oh please let them come, I'll gladly tell them all about how "Jehovah, or JHVH-1 as WE know him, is no true god but an evil space monster from some corporate sin galaxy sent here to take our SLACK! He's been fooling them! But J. R. "Bob" Dobbs, High Epopt of The Church of The SubGenius, knows the truth, and he has a plan to save all his followers from certain death come X-Day. We'll all be Ruptured up into the PleasureSaucers for orgies with the alien sex goddesses and the MWOWM machine will make our every possible desires true. You want that lost comic collection back? Want revenge on that one priest? Well "Bob" will give it to ya, young evangelist, here, take this pamphlet to get you started..."

ArcaneSlime ,

Also use a privacy oriented web browser that signs you out each time, something like mule for android or librewolf for desktops.

Well, FB does have a .onion....

ArcaneSlime ,

You should probably just always assume that unless you are literally paying a lawyer you've contacted. Tbh, it'd be better for a lawyer to delineate that they are one specifically in their comment due to the fact that statistically most people are in fact not lawyers.

Free ProtonVPN now doesn't allow selection of specific servers and split-tunneling in its client (+ workaround for Android) ( i.imgur.com )

First of all a disclaimer: I am not upset about the removal of manual server selection as this is a free service. They don't need to provide such services at all, so something is better than nothing....

ArcaneSlime ,

Hijacking to ask a semi related question, does protonvpn support port forwarding on linux yet? Last I checked I heard no, but airvpn has been less than optimal.

ArcaneSlime ,

Awesome, thanks for the info!
