still hella confused as to why self-proclaimed privacy advocates—even teams like [@privacyguides](https://lemmy.one/c/privacyguides)—are pushing [@element](https://mastodon.matrix.org/@element) so har

    Fair enough.
    When I read it, it sounded like popular groups would be listed.... sort of like the 'trending' feeatures on social networks and stuff...

    If I was wrong, I stand corrected... Thanks

    That's what I read after installing the app (on a trash device).

    Not that I'm using it for anything nefarious, but if you're going to claim 100% privacy, I think offering 'discovery' services for popular groups goes very much against that.

    In all fairness, I removed it shortly after discovering that... so maybe other users who have stuck around can clarify... I dont mind admitting I read that incorrectly.

    I looked at SimpleX a little while ago... and it was looking fine... until I read that they list 'groups' in some kind of directory... like chat rooms I imagine. Deal breaker for me.

  • Using Facebook/Meta Messenger on Android
  • @U2VuZCBudWRlcyA6KSAK
    ahhh... the network effect....

    I wouldn't use it on anything, but if you have to... i'd start by looking if it's possible to use it from a web browser instead of using an app. This way, the browser app will isolate it from having access to your entire device.

  • Looking for a website like tracker control app

    Damn!.... looks like mine failed to block partner.ads.js ... how do I block that?

  • Google forced to reveal users' search histories in Colorado court ruling
  • @knexcar @throws_lemy @Clent

    This goes beyond coincidence. This is more like you being a suspect every time some crime is committed. I'm sure in a perfect world you would be proven innocent... but that world doesn't exist and handing over this power to corporate entities and govts only opens it up for abuse.

  • Google forced to reveal users' search histories in Colorado court ruling
  • @knexcar @throws_lemy @Clent

    If you didn't commit a crime, why should be part of the line up of suspects?

    You could just live boot a linux USB and mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 ;) 😂

  • @homeassistant @[email protected] @[email protected] I'm looking for multi-color LED tape lights that I can integrate into #homeassistant. Anyone had any success with something like this? https://a.co/d/92hO0LL

    I'm thinking this \should\ work with localtuya or even flashing tasmota if necessary, but if anyone has had any success, I'd love to hear from you.

    What's your favorite OpenStreetMaps app?
  • @MasterBuilder @HughJanus
    +1 for OsmAnd, although for routing, I find Organic Maps to be a little snappier on the UI and feels more like ordinary routing apps.

  • What are the recommend changes to make iPhone more private?
  • @Bitrot yes, but not only your devices. The corp hosting the data for you does have access to the unencrypted data. They can log into their systems and see the unencrypted contents. EEE will parent a 3rd party from reading g your data while I'm transit, but not once it has arrived at the final destination

  • What are the recommend changes to make iPhone more private?
  • @MagneticFusion @chemicalwonka I was gonna suggest the same thing but I realize that only solves half of the problem. You would still have to identify to apple services to download and install the app

  • What are the recommend changes to make iPhone more private?
  • @nitefox @adespoton doesn't EEE imply that decryption happens on both ends?

  • Reflectacles to escape Facial Recognition
  • @learningduck @chairman Great!.... so just wait for everyone else to buy these first

  • 2FA app
  • @badgrandpa 2FAS on :android: Not sure if it works on apple products... dont own any to confirm

  • How many Adblocking/Privacy extensions are too much?
  • @9point6 @Ogygus Brave is owned by a for-profit company that makes money from its users. Isn't this true for most browsers? The fact that you speak of 'market share' implies profit for somebody at some point. In most cases Google, Microsoft, Apple, Mozilla or somebody. Good for you for deciding who you want to support, but you make it sound like there is something wrong with it being owned by some corp...when the same is true for everything else

  • Traefik for idiots?
  • @fraydabson Thanks for the explainer. I was recently tempted to try it out but my certs end everything is managed by NPM and didn't really have the time to redo my whole setup but it looms interesting

  • Traefik for idiots?
  • @fraydabson @krdo been curious about caddy before but I have no reason to switch from nginx-proxy-manager. Has anyone got any experience with both of these ? How do they compare?

  • What can I do to make this more secure?
  • @jws_shadotak Make sure no ports other than 80 and 443 are exposed from the outside and force everything through https

    @selfhosted I self-host a few services on my box, but I'm looking for a 'dashboard' like solution to use as a portal to click to each of those. I've seen this before, but can't for the life of me remember what it's called... suggestions? :debian: :linux:
