If you really want to isolate it, grapheneOS lets you put it in its own profile almost totally isolated from anything in any other profile.

But you probably don’t want to buy a g! Pixel.

You could buy a separate phone and only run that app on it. Hassle but it would be secure.


What phone brand do you like the best?

(I have excluded Graphene as they are only compatible with Pixel phones).

You’re asking this on the privacy mag and intentionally/explicitly exclude the best privacy option with no explanation.

Wtf.



Until and unless there is real and tangible detrimental effect in their lives they will probably never ever give a shit about privacy.

And what is there to point out as such?


YES, DUH!

Signals get out extra good from the windscreen.


If you wrap your whole car with aluminum foil then the signal can’t get out. Be sure there are NO GAPS!


That does sound more effective. You really have to trust that the blur algorithm cannot be reverse engineered if you use that. Removing the data seems more certain than transforming it somehow.


But they’re all ON by default, right?


Interesting. I also found the url above.



Location services off. VPN on. Above average web browser.

What should I do next?



Location is turned off on my phone.

I’m well aware that “the authorities” can still location track my phone. Not much I can do about that, frankly. And I’m not sure they care much about me. But Scamazon and Screwgle and CrApple and whoever cannot. Which is the point.

Most of the time I figure out my directions before I leave the house. I do use a map app without location services. So it’s pretty much a virtual paper map, which is still useful.

I do also have paper maps, but rarely use them.



Who do you like for VPS hosting?


Not seeing how that answers either of my questions.


How does that work? And what if my relationship to my second cousin is not by blood?


This confirms yet again my decision not to trust these genetic businesses. Why anyone does I do not know. But, people sign up for Facebook which should explain almost any crazy behavior.




I still buy CDs. And back then up to play in my truck. And rip them.

I still think OWNING media is a good idea. No privacy issues at all.


Got a how to for #1? Sounds like you hid a lot of complexity in that 1 step.


Just a thought: Explain your needs to Jitsi devs. Or other software linked here. Maybe they could cater to a niche market to get more market share. Or offer a free music lesson for their trouble.

Must be an email address on their site somewhere.


My understanding is that my employer dropped webex because it was more expensive than others. I think we only use Teams now which works but not as well as webex.


As a user, I liked webex more than any other video conferencing software. But IDK how much adjustment it allows.


How long until people are “randomly” shot inside their houses?
