Magic wormhole? Never used it myself personally.

If you have them as a contact already in SimpleX, then why not.


Whatever you can afford for pixel 8 and above, if possible. Those will be supported for longer.


Its good if everything you need can run from Kodi. It uses its own Linux distribution in the background, so you won’t really be able to install anything else unless you build it.


I would avoid anything built into the TV.

  1. Its starting to be used for spying on you
  2. The chip they come with are usually not that good unless it’s a high end TV.
  3. They are building ads right into the TV themselves.

I would not connect the TV to the internet and use a external media player. Either a Nvidia shield or an Apple TV is your best bet.

You can also try building a media player yourself using a small computer.

Note - The self made media player will be more limited in terms of apps available, unfortunately, as well as streaming quality from some of the streaming services.


What is the best way to encrypt a USB drive that can be used on multiple OSes?
Not sure is this is the best place to post this question, but wondering what is the best way to encrypt a usb drive? Want to be able to carry an encrypted flash drive with me but also be able to unlock it, if possible, on various OSes. Preferably with some kind of portable software. Something similar to the method that comes with the Kingston Data Traveler USB drives. **Edit:** Seems like **Veracrypt** and **Cryptomator** are the best options to check out. Thank everyone!

Go to the Settings -> System -> Multiple Users. Allow multiple users.


From my experience, you have to use google services for the 2fa to work on Yubikey. You can work around this by using a TOTP and storing it on the key. There is a Yubikey app that can read the tokens that doesn’t require google services. Another approach is make a separate profile that has a google account active on it and just keep those apps there to use the Yubikey on.

Some banking apps require extra work in their settings permissions to get them to work. Try turning off some of the extra security measures for app in the app permissions settings. See if that can get them to work.

Messaging is going to be broken unless both parties use an internet based messenger, like signal or iMessage. SMS is very restrictive. RCS may help fix this when it launched to iOS but it seems to break on graphene. Probably the same reason banking apps break.


Haven’t tried it myself yet but you can check out brazzite

Gaming focused distro.

Also pop os has been pretty good to me, but it is on the old side at the moment until they update everything near the last quarter of the year.


Mostly their marketing practices. They are designed well but mostly designed to keep you locked in one way or another.

For me, their desktop is not as intuitive as people make it seem and lacks simple shortcuts that most other desktops have.

On mobile, its the restriction of customization and options. They are getting better at customizing but still limit you on options for anything outside of their apps. They claim to be private but follow similar practices as other companies, just in a more quite way with better PR.


On top of this, use products that are more privacy conscience, as in they take it more serious, such as an email provider.


No. Just in case I forget to remove the information if I post it anywhere.


AI doesn’t automatically equal not private. Its probably still has private as it was before.

Now if it starts showing it knows things about you, then I’ll be concerned.


The article doesn’t mention anything on “crypto-powered”. Just that it will allow crypto-based games.

Won’t be surprised if crypto is more engraved into it since there are crypto based investors involved.



Use any exchange that only needs a wallet then trade the token for bitcoin. The real issue is switching cash to coin.


Unfortunately you probably won’t find any place to really buy it anonymously. If you have some crypto already you can buy some but without it, you will have to go through some broker.

In the US, know your customer is a big thing so you have to ID yourself before you can buy from the more legitimate companies.


You are probably correct. Didn’t check the repo.



Yes to google maps if you have the play services activated.

No to pay/wallet.

Yes to Android Auto as of recently. The grapheneos team just released a implementation of it.


Also both require an account to download anything, from their stores.


Yes, but its not supported on everything. I use Yubikeys since they support more interaction types. I personally use them to lock my more important things when I can. Like my password vault, financial sites, emails, accounts, etc.

For the accounts that are whatever, less important I use OTP. You can also store a limited amount of OTP tokens on the Yubikey and use their open source software to view the codes.

ALWAYS buy a backup if you do end up locking accounts with it, just in case you lose it. It is more secure than having a code saved digitally as you need the physical key to unlock things.
