Basically all third party gentoo repos are unsigned, and ssl is trivial to mitm for any three letter agency. It was only recently that gentoo even started signing their main repo (and it wasn't even ssl so anyone could mitm to root your system).

TRVThNKh! Dan Bernstein's redo is the only civilized build system.

>>33943
in the final analysis it's all just programs, so build.sh is the trve answer

>>33944
The average build.sh can't do minimal rebuilds, i.e. it will always recompile the entire project, whether you change a line in config.h or not. Redo targets are literally just executable files, that specify dependencies through redo-* calls, so repeated redo invocations will only rebuild targets according to the dependency graph, while those targets are still arbitrary programs.

Graphene OS is not degoogled. Recent revelation of security researcher mike kuketz reveals the thruth:

https://www.kuketz-blog.de/grapheneos-warum-android-eine-verbindung-zu-gstatic-com-aufbaut/

The "privacy" ROM connects to Google's gstatic.com for Certificate Transparency logs. While no app data is leaked, Google captures the user’s public IP address and exact request timestamps during these background HTTPS connections.

This enables tracking via cross-correlation: If you open sandboxed apps like X or Instagram, they log your IP. Since Big Tech cooperates and shares telemetry data, Google can match the gstatic connection timestamp with your app activity IP, instantly identifying your GrapheneOS device.

YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO.

isn't graphene only compatible with pixel phones? how do you degoogle something that is designed to run solely on google hardware? it seems like they made android even less free in that respect, at least vanilla android runs on tons of different devices and not just google's.

people have some weird interpretations of what liberated software/hardware is, i've always sort of suspected the whole idea was ill-founded and unworkable from the beginning, and seeing maga get in on the act with the "freedom phone" pretty much sealed the deal for me.

>>33871
Vanilla android doesn't run anywhere, android is always customized to run anywhere other than in a vm, it's a cursed shitware os. But yes lineageos supports waaay more devices, and the benefit of graphene seems highly questionable to me.
That said all hardware is aids-ridden, google's hardware is not even the worst, probably by far not the worst. Btw assuming you're the guy from the samsung thread - in the past replicant devs found a modem-level backdoor in a samsung phone. And that's just what the found - it's a very small team and the number and complexity of devices is huge and ever growing, so you can safely assume EVERY device has something like that or worse.

looks like GrapheneOS has fixed this now by mirroring the files on their own servers. but I wonder why they do this all the time for every connection rather than say once per hour or once a week
also yes trusting GrapheneOS instead of Google is not without problems but there are degrees in hell

why do people on here argue over what to trust as if anything could possibly be trustworthy.

the smartphone market is just a dumpster fire from top to bottom, particularly android. android is the worst operating system in the history of mankind, the bastard child of google and linux, the two worst things to ever happen to computer technology. degoogling android won't make it better, nothing can make android better, android is shit all the way through, there is literally nothing good about it at all.

Am looking for an uncapped unmetered pipe to buy in crypto.
Something in a jurisdiction which uses court order instead of DMCA.
And critically isn't in a jurisdiction with hate-speech legislation.
I've found a service offering the pipe, with many jurisdictions.
But don't want to be fined or imprisoned for ironic anti-hybernianism, or links.
Didn't see any that have both of these features, deregulated.
Is there anywhere that in practice doesn't really enforce these things?
Or is it possible to use (the exorbitant) DDOS-Guard or another service to hide?

maybe you can flash it with FOSS distro?

That's free market for you. So much choice! Now even monitors have AIDS in them.

>>33827
i think just passing it through a cheap kvm switch would be enough since it wipes EDID info, windows would detect it as a generic monitor and would not even attempt to download drivers. alternatively just disable the feature to download software automatically.



 

was looking into minimal self-hosted alternatives and found texttotalk.org. plaintext only, no images, no markdown, no js tracking. sign up doesn't ask for email, just a username and password (hashed, not stored plain, checked).
no algorithm either, board is just sorted newest/top, nothing ranked to keep you scrolling.
somebody called out the site's html for being div-heavy instead of semantic in a comment, and the dev actually fixed it instead of getting defensive. small thing but tells you something.
worth a look if you're tired of platforms that call themselves "free" while quietly profiling you.

are you aware of the blatant FUD campaign happening
against PGP?

people are bringing irrelevant and wrong facts up about PGP just to call it insecure

somehow most (if not all) of them shill signal at the same time, some of them even suggesting whatsapp instead of PGP.

signal is a centralized IM app that requires your fucking phone number to register. they have huge aversion against 3rd party appstores and don't want any custom fork / implementation of "open source" signal client. somehow this is much better than PGP encrypted email over an anonymous network.

(taking gnupg as reference)

"it's old therefore it's bad"

it's continuously updated / modernized and uses a separate library for all crypto operations anyway. it even supports PQ crypto

Uhh exilent question, I like to use youtube and a bit of touching grass what about you guys?
also I like playing online games
There are plenty of social medias out there

>Youtube

>X
>Reddit
>Discord
> AND I don't fucking know
I'm banned from reddit and X is full of bots
So I only use discord and Youtube

God I fucking hate how everything has a Discord now, It almost makes me wish the old php forums could make a comeback, regardless of how toxic they could be sometimes.

yeah i dont think its bad its just gonna make a second internet that doesnt suck or have the drawbacks of the darknet

>>33110
I mean if it is an open standard it shouldn't

>>33108
It's not yet certain that laws of one country will be applied to citizens of another country where such laws don't exist. They could do this with cookie notices required in EU because it doesn't break websites, but this would break them completely by definition.

Western, particularly burger Internet has almost absolute monopoly outside of a few isolated countries like China and Russia. And it encompasses much more than just propaganda, there's a lot of technical and hobby stuff hosted on burger servers. If I want to look at source code or docs or submit a patch to a certain library hosted on a popular git hosting server, then in most cases I have no alternative but to visit to burger servers. Same goes for any other banal and hobby stuff, there's a lot of useful information out there hosted on burger servers. Cloudflare and Google captcha faggotry is already hellish enough.

I know, but those will be archived (or not, maybe you shouldn't use discord as a forum) and then moved to alternatives. Like lemmygrad did with the genzedong subreddit
