thx for the link to the website, I will have a look into it. I also use Rethink with NextDNS, but still a good thing to have a link with recommendations.

why are you using an AI-generated image for this post?

can someone explain what this website whats to proof? Why would I upload my private images to some website? would that be as stupid as using google photo in the first place?

How ist Monero a scam?

uh that sounds great. i’d like to hear more on what you did. I tried switching to linux for all thing concerning files but I cant get the scan feature to work in linux, so using a Pi4 would be an awesome option.

thanks for the link. this looks really promising.

it is still a great list so thanks for getting it back up 👍

but i have a few questions: is there a reason (or privacy concern) why Linux Mint isn’t one of the recommended distros? and am I wrong or isn’t bitward a good privacy friendly password-manager?

oh ok. yeah i did some testing yesterday and it already pissed me off, that it asks you to register your instance… and so I swicthed to snikket :D

i know Signal and use it with a few friends but i am always on the adventure of trying out new ways of communication and that is why i was wandering if Rocket.Chat could be a good privacy messaging option :)

snikket looks really nice. i tried ejabberd but failed setting it up 🙈🙈🙈 but snikket looks promising.

oh ok. I am using Nabu Casa Cloud for mine so i am always online via cloud. i tested it with enabling flight-mode and the app goes directly to the disconnected state. Altought the app I developed for a share grocery-list has the same issue, so I will give HA a try anyway :) so still a good recommendation 😀👍

you might be right about it being a hassle but if someone is asking something like this inside a community about privacy it most certainly does not meet OPs critera :D

thank you for the info. that clears up some doubts I had with xmpp :)

that is an idea I might take :) how does this handle being offline? for example i sometimes lose connection in same stores here, but I still need to at least see the entries on the list :)

kinda funny to recommend Google Keep inside a privacy-community :) but ok, everybody has their threat-modell i guess :D

but why isnt it secure? if you know that the other person is using the same version of omemo it is secure. and if you are self-hosting it, meta-data is no issue either

ok but if I’d recommend a client to the people I want to text with via xmpp I can be certain which client they use. My idea isnt to write with strangers but only with real people I know (friends and family).

I am asking because I want to understand the “hype” about XMPP that and why it is always mentioned when someone is asking for a good privacy friendly messenger :)

I would love to do the same (although not the hardcore step with arch :D) but how would I game and also isn’t the support for drivers sometimes really iffy?

that is only done once at the creation of an account and does not proof that the number ist not saved hashed.
