i dont seem to have that function. anyway cannot rly see the harm with that app and the vpn block solution.


thanks, kinda thought so, gonna use netguard when using it, more important than the vpn


how bad are text expanders? (textpand)
ive been using expandroid, but sadly it stoped working for the stuff i most need it for. now i found texpandapp(.)com. its really nice cuz it works my browser and note taking app. most home calling can be stopped via dns blocking i guess (?), but it still has those questionable permissions: - view network connections 😒 - use fingerprint hardware 👌 - run foreground service with the type "dataSync" 🥱 - run at startup 👌 -ask to ignore battery optimizations👌 - have full network access 😳😳😳 - prevent phone from sleeping🤔 - Advertising ID Permission 🙄 - run foreground service 👌 - Google Play billing service 👌 - Play Install Referrer API 🤔 how bad is all of that? keylogger-level bad? (cannot block all internet access, bad phone and the vpn slot is occupied) edit: turns out split tunnelling with "block all connections without vpn" does the job, nice.

seems to work fine actually, way easier than i thought. 👌


i dont, as I came to the conclusion that medium mode is too much work and not worth it (especially on mobile). Got Phoenix and manually imported some of the blocklists into Ironfox (for example “⛔ yokoffing’s click2load filters” does what is described in the x-post you linked, but as you noted, you will still connect youtube


doesn’t work I think. block embedded stuff and make it so that when you click on the placeholder, it opens FreeTube


Was wondering about that stuff too! I don’t live in my (safe) county of origin, but my VPN provider is from there (and I’m like 80℅ sure that provider is a CIA front, but anyway) and it’s the only country I ever got arrested once or twice, where they have a file about me and whatnot.

Whenever I visit, I immediately get phone calls and letters about some kind of “military tax” that I never paid. Takes like them like 30 minutes to understand that I’m aware and don’t plan to pay anything, even tho I actually need to and will land in military prison!!! (for an afternoon lol, sure pick me up, waiting, will be here all week).

Then I also don’t seriously care about hiding anything from the country where I actually live, yet I do it all the time and insist on “anonymity” when e.g. defending that countries policies online or simply share my love for that country.

Am I stupid for using that VPN provider? Probably, but I just want my Apple Music to be streamed lossless, which only works with that VPN.

In the end I think my biggest stupidity was to start to believe that I even have something like a treat model, or that its worth to invest 2 afternoons only so creep JS cannot remember me anymore, wow, what a success! 🙄

Uh, sorry for the ramblings, it’s holiday and I already had a beer. If you actually do have a treat model of any kind – take care, stay safe, and never ever put your safety into anything from 🇨🇭


still dont get it. so its from the image? in your comment here i only see two of those “broken jpg” symbols, is that good?


so whats my ip then?


is it also good withouth an account? i dont want to comment there but subscribe to subs. using stealth now but the ui is a bit meh.


not thats its private, but the virtual cards from wise are nice. can be frozen and sometimes you can change the billing addeess and “save” taxes.


never in all those many many years. imo the main benefit is disabling mails from the corp u give it and only enable when needed, so i blocked thousands of unwanted mails.

and with addy.io all gets pgp encrypted, which is another major benefit.


Premium domain is only available when you have premium, because fewer people pay and fewer people use it, so there is less abuse and the domain name has better reputation, so when you public domain is not working, using the premium domain may be able to register.-


it’s not that easy to find a real Youtube alternative, I tried it recently and got meek results, sharing them from my personal notebook:

  • Odysee – a youtube for righwingers and scammers 😒
  • removedute – a youtube for the far right lost in conspiracy madness 🤮
  • DTube – a youtube that runs on Blockchain? 🙄
  • Vimeo – NEXT!
  • Daylimotion – hm, not bad maybe but idk 🤔
  • peertube – too confusing 😵‍💫
  • means.tv – seems nice, but too expensive 😢

Nebula costs ~$15/year. The content is mostly great, mobile app is a disaster.


Ah thanks a lot. Yea nothing for me then either. But if it could replace android pin/pattern then it might be something interesting.


Did you already install it? (I didnt)

No idea what the colors are for, but I think you can also use random symbols, not just numbers? And even if it’s just numbers that don’t change, it will not be the numbers of your actual pin.

And yes, you’d need to remember the patterns. I myself to thst anyway with all my pins.

Somettimes there are card payment terminals with the numbers in a randomized order; I always need to take my phone out to look at a normal numpad so I can remember my actual pin. 😅


Any thoughts on this one? Just in case anyone needs an eli5 (not me, obviously, I totally understood how it works 🙄) *** Of course! I'll simplify everything for you. Imagine you have a toy box with a secret toy hidden inside. This app works in a similar way to hide and protect your secret number (PIN). ### How it hides your PIN: 1. **PIN in a Puzzle**: The app places your PIN in a puzzle-like grid and fills up the rest with random numbers. It's like hiding a toy among many other toys. - Even the app doesn't know where your secret toy (PIN) is in the grid. - If someone tries to peek over your shoulder, they won't easily figure out which toy is your secret one. 2. **Special Keyboard**: Instead of using the regular way of typing, the app gives you a special keyboard inside it. - This makes it hard for sneaky apps to see what you type. - Also, the buttons on this keyboard keep changing places, so if someone is trying to see where you touch, they'll get confused. ### How it keeps things safe inside: 1. **Magic Lock (Encryption)**: The app uses a magic spell (called AES) to lock your secret toy so that even if someone gets it, they can't play with it without the magic key. 2. **Secret Name-Tag (Hashing)**: Every toy (PIN) gets a secret name-tag that only the app can read. It's like writing a name in a language only the app understands. 3. **Strong Password**: If you ever forget things and need a backup way to get your toy, the app has a super-strong password system (called Argon2id). ### What happens when you use the app: 1. **Starting the App**: The app looks for your toys (PINs) using the magic key and shows you their secret name-tags. 2. **Picking a Toy (PIN)**: When you choose a toy by its name-tag, the app shows you the toy in its puzzle grid, but hidden among other toys. 3. **Adding a New Toy (PIN)**: If you get a new toy, you can give it a secret spot in the grid and a secret name-tag. The app will use its magic spell to lock it up safe. In short: This app is like a magical toy box. It hides your secret toys (PINs) in clever ways and uses special magic to keep them safe.

Is this a known thing? I aways install everything that scanner suggests me.



Yea voting is great, but when was the last time the UK had a prime minister that anyone voted for?


Oh wow, the great UK really seems to love to show the world how advanced they are. Decrypt this then 🙄

Password is only 8 characters.

It’s the super very best of the best. Beside encryption it also uploads stuff faster than shit like folder sync pro. Never has any errors. One of my most favorite open source apps, love it so much I even paid for the supporter certificate. (And I don’t pay for lots of free stuff cuz I’m poor). If they would allow single folder sync on android it would also be much better than nextcloud.


Not sure I get it. How do you create keys? I use kleopatra and never saw a plaintext.


Many great answers in here but can someone address this point?

Signal could very well be another Crypto AG-style honeypot: the Swiss company which provided secure communications services to ~120 governments throughout the 20th century, and was secretly ran by the CIA and West German Intelligence.


Thanks @Vexz@kbin.social and @lckdscl@whiskers.bim.boats, I really should have actually tried this before getting all confused about the issues of people who want to use it at the same time.

It’s not super automated, but the switching with the Android and Windows Apps do not take more than 30 seconds.


Use both VPN and nextDNS
I have a VPN, but don't use it that often. Whenever the VPN is not active, I'd like to use nextDNS. Is there a smart/automated way to do that?
