What dumb phone has reasonable security and the ability to run Signal?
21·2 years agoJust because you can’t stop all the leaks in your plumbing doesn’t mean you shouldn’t fix the ones you can.
Its best to have some defence in depth. Ideally you would have a firewall on your network AND your local machine. If you are running a laptop definitely have a local firewall on that as you cannot trust random networks you connect to when out and about in the world.
firewalld is sufficient, i suggest learning its CLI as it is not super complicated. ufw is ok if you are allergic to command line.
I believe he does extend it to JavaScript however, so if he were required to run unfree javascript on a webpage relating to his treatment that could be a problem.
One Hour One Life is open source, it is a 2D hand drawn survival game where you have 1 real life houre to live from a baby to an elder and contribute to the player-made society in your life as best you can.
You have to pay for an account on the official servers, but i recommend you do to support the development.
Not sure if the dev accepts community patches or not, but the game is public domain license.
Unfortunately, its not clear if masks actually stop facial recognition. I think it helps, but not probably not as well as it did before covid.
I don’t think tar is actually hard, we are just in the time where we externalize more information into resources such as Google. Its the same reason why younger people don’t remember routes by name or cardinal direction as much anymore.
side note: $ tldr is much better than man for just getting common stuff done.
Yes and no. decentralization is great for a lot of reasons but it does come with downsides. I don’t know about you, but i convinced my family and friends to use and keep Signal for years now and i don’t think i would have had such luck with Matrix/Element, let alone a p2p app.
I’m glad decentralized options exist and think they deserve more funding and love, however.
And that’s why you should stick with tor browsers defaults (with the exception of adjusting security slider to meet needs). They have a whole team who are paid to think about it.
