thx for the link to the website, I will have a look into it. I also use Rethink with NextDNS, but still a good thing to have a link with recommendations.

can someone explain what this website whats to proof? Why would I upload my private images to some website? would that be as stupid as using google photo in the first place?

How ist Monero a scam?

uh that sounds great. i’d like to hear more on what you did. I tried switching to linux for all thing concerning files but I cant get the scan feature to work in linux, so using a Pi4 would be an awesome option.

thanks for the link. this looks really promising.

it is still a great list so thanks for getting it back up 👍

but i have a few questions: is there a reason (or privacy concern) why Linux Mint isn’t one of the recommended distros? and am I wrong or isn’t bitward a good privacy friendly password-manager?

oh ok. yeah i did some testing yesterday and it already pissed me off, that it asks you to register your instance… and so I swicthed to snikket :D

oh ok. I am using Nabu Casa Cloud for mine so i am always online via cloud. i tested it with enabling flight-mode and the app goes directly to the disconnected state. Altought the app I developed for a share grocery-list has the same issue, so I will give HA a try anyway :) so still a good recommendation 😀👍

that is an idea I might take :) how does this handle being offline? for example i sometimes lose connection in same stores here, but I still need to at least see the entries on the list :)

ok but if I’d recommend a client to the people I want to text with via xmpp I can be certain which client they use. My idea isnt to write with strangers but only with real people I know (friends and family).

I would love to do the same (although not the hardcore step with arch :D) but how would I game and also isn’t the support for drivers sometimes really iffy?

oh ok, I have not tried that yet. I have only set up one address which I use yo send and receive from.

about the encryption: I thought the point with e2ee encryption on proton is mainly, that the mails are stored encrypted one their servers so they can not read them or hand them out to anyone.

oh so only when using their client I have the e2ee for the emails on their server? kind of makes sence but def. a point to take into consideration.

do you know theit reason?

i already bookmarked the list, great work btw. I will look into the options you wrote.

reading my post would’ve help ;)

well I’d say signal is one of the best options as there are many others. Regarding the phonenumber: as far as I know, it is stored hashed so signal does not really know your phonenumber. so this would not concern me.

hm I dont really agree on this. it is a swiss service (i think) but it is all closed source so that is a red-flag for me (if talking about privacy or transparency).

you are correct and it is true that it is better to have many options. Although it is a little iffy that still many people belive in the fact, that it is private and secure.

Also I totally agree on what you are saying: dont push people into something they dont want simply explain the possible downsides and move on.

I’d still wouldn’ t use it so communicating with me is will still not be done via Telegramm :D

sad but very true 🙈
