Comrades, we need a thread on privacy. Any decent activist should try ways of staying anonymous on the web and prevent being tracked by governments and corporations.General tips===* Use free software as much as you can.* Use GNU/Linux and keep it up-to-date, to be sure that you don't have unpatched security exploits* Don't use Flash Player, use youtube-dl instead for watching streaming videos online* Do not use Google, use DuckDuckGo or StartPage instead* Use a password manager like Keepass or for GNU/Linux users keepassx. Create new passwords for every site that you visit and use a strong password as a master password. A tip for easy remembering of your master password is to use a sentence. "i fucking love cookies and tits!" with extra capital characters etc. is easier to remember than some random characters and long enough to prevent brute force attacks of any kind.* Use the Tor Browser Bundle if you really want to stay anonymous.Firefox====* Go to Preferences -> History and set History to "Never remember history". * See for additional tweaks: https://github.com/amq/firefox-debloat and https://vikingvpn.com/cybersecurity-wiki/browser-security/guide-hardening-mozilla-firefox-for-privacy-and-securityAdd-ons-----------* Use uBlock Origin for preventing tracking etc. Bonus: use hard-mode to manually whitelist external domains on sites. Don't use uBlock but be sure to use uBlock Origin https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-hard-mode* HTTPS Everywhere* DecentralEyes: prevents CDN hosting from tracking you (Google for Jquery etc.)* Self Destructing Cookies: only allow cookies that you choose to allowOS==* Encrypt your hard drive or home partition at least* If you use GNU/Linux, you can try to restrict systemd or syslog from logging. * Use a distribution which takes security seriously. Also, be sure that you don't install a lot of things outside the repository. It will cover most of your needs.Real life tips===* Pay with cash if you canFeel free to provide tips to each other comrades!

lol is this true? vry funny if so. however i dont see y israel/NSO needs a backdoor for the phones. they already own all the celullar towers. so in a theoretical world were hamas ain't an Israel proxy, and they rly is playin cat and mouse, can't they jus man-in-middle crack the channels and chats? is there sum insane Chinese-encryption scheme im unaware of?

Is it as safe as an i2p outproxy?

very good tip indeed.

>>24744 (me)
Wait a sec. Why not just use an i2p outproxy instead of a VPN or proxychains? VPN leaks your IP address to your VPN provider and your VPN usage to your ISP provider. And VPN through i2p adds an extra performance hit. And proxychains are static unless you constantly change them yourself, neither do they provide encryption. And VPNs and proxies weren't designed for anonymity in the first place. So what do VPN through i2p and proxychains do better that an i2p outproxy does not?

yeah there was some reports at the time
>they already own all the celullar towers
exactly, which is why the reports seemed like bullshit

I think wordpress has proprietary modules. Threads has some retarded algorithm right? Is it "open source" software interfacing with unknown server shit like other Meta open source stuff is AFAIK?

even if Threads was open source that's like saying you're fine with having AIDS because its DNA has been sequenced

I want to tighten my opsec. I figured the best way is to try to get experienced hackers to try to bust me, as unwise as that might sound. is there a website, forum or community where you can ask people to pwn you?



 

> find new software
> check out their Microsoft GIthub
< it's just translations and issue tracking, no actual source code
Proprietary software should be required to put large warnings about it being proprietary like those warnings on cigarette.

>find neat looking project on shithub
<all commits are readme edits
there was this guy who had like five repositories of this and spammed links to his "firefox fork" on reddit and hn

I hope he died tbqh

90% of accounts I see on github are just people forking highly starred repos or posting their homework assignments. There's this idea that github is a community of artisans sharing and reacting to each others work but it just isn't true

>>24529
You're just mad you can't code for shit

>>24529
What, are you browsing? I just look at software I use, usually checking minecraft mods are actually open source before installing them. Like I assumed minecraft has had enough malware scares to swear off closed source stuff entirely, but nah 1 in 100 mods you find in both repos are still closed source.

Apperantly 4chan has a problem(?) with AI generated threads/posts. How will leftypil prepare to the bots? I'm quite surprised, that there isn't even a captcha here.

I can't escape Google no matter what I do. Should I just bite the bullet and integrate into their workspace then?

Just have a dedicated device for it

It's possible to install apps in isolated profiles in GrapheneOS and some other phone OS afaik. Another option might be to install the apps in Android VMs on a laptop.

>>24605
>>government app necessary for functioning in society
There are mirrors for google play apks and installing malicious apps on android is manageable. Any google service should have a secure, compatible alternative somewhere (see https://microg.org/).
>>uni also uses google shit for everything
Elaborate. I'm interested in how dystopian shit has gotten in your 'stan.

don't Google and AT&T already give the government all their data? but sure things can always be worse

File: 1713626383129.pdf (327.56 KB, 197x255, BillThing.pdf)

Here's the bill that was proposed. It looks concerning, but that's just from these spooky scary headlines I found from searching it. I'll start to read it now and share my thoughts.

>>24537
>expand the number of businesses that the US government can force to eavesdrop on Americans without a warrant
they already had this for years in the bush era on the patriot act, warrentless wiretaps were fully legal, and not indirectly forcing businesses to hand over data but actually doing it directly.

I guess this is just a return to form.

With most phones not having a microSD slot or even an audio jack these days you'd think projects like Rockbox would be more popular but it's almost abandoned.

works on my machine

it's because music streaming completely killed dedicated audio players obviously. not only that but phones carry like 1TB ootb that's a lot more than the 256GB we were used to back in the day, so it's completely irrelevant technology. if you have specific audiofile needs and an aversion to spotify, you'd be spending your cash on a plex box and plexamp on your phone.

>>24590
>phones carry like 1TB ootb
fucking which ones? all the phones with good specs have like 128-256 gigs with absolutely no room for extra storage to force you to rely on streaming and cloud garbage

>an aversion to spotify

i have an aversion to paying for stuff that can be free, thanks

>>24592
like every flagship lol wdym. even dirt cheap chinese phones have 256gb storage wtf lol, i use a fucking rooted poco as a dedicated media player it was a hundred bucks and that has 256gb, it's too bad that flagships dont have additional sd card storage like that one does, i'll give you that

>>24593
im not in the "first world" tbf
