  • The app sandboxing in Graphene is the perfect place to use them. All you need is the Galaxy Wear app. Maybe Samsung Health, but I think that is optional.

    Along with the protections built into Graphene, I use an always on VPN; and 99% of my accounts use unique email addresses, usernames, and passwords for each account.

  • Has it fixed it? I shut off my Galaxy Watch 5 Pro since I had to reset and re-pair it multiple times a day. Now I'm on vacation and didn't even bring it with me.

  • I looked at some of these on my own and found:

    • graylog provides data privacy and protection services for companies offering software as a service (SaaS). So this seems legit to me and needed for their core functionality. It is not a marketing or data analytics company.

    • amplitude appears to be a data analytics company and on the surface is not needed and Anytype should explain this.

    • sentry appears to be an application error tracking company and this seems a legit connection

    • api2 seems like a generic server name and likely needed for their core functionality, this seems legit to me

    • telemetry also seems like a generic server name; however, the purpose, based on its name does not seem to be needed. Anytype should explain this as well.

  • I've contacted Anytype about this and will post their response.

    I run Graphene OS on my phone and have an always on VPN connection. Plus I use a different email address, username, and password for 99% of my accounts. So I don't worry about telemetry, analytics, or data marketing anymore.

  • Agreed, they are continually improving it

  • I use Anytype (anytype.io) on my phone and desktop. I make a page for each trip and add screenshots of confirmations, maps, itinerary, etc.

    Anytype is similar to Notion but is open source and encrypted locally.

  • Yeah, and despite three or four OS updates the last few days...it is still an issue.

  • The bigger question I have is how are you going to view them? Did you build yourself and IMAX size screen?

  • I'm still having Bluetooth issues. My Wear OS device looses connection and it can only establish a connection again by resetting the watch and pairing it again. However this only lasts about an hour then it looses connection again.

  • I have remote access for Jellyfin using a domain I purchased just for self-hosting. Using Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) and a dynamic IP service. NPM handles directing the incoming traffic to the correct server. I point a subdomain back to my Jellyfin server. When traveling, I install the Jellyfin app on a smart TV where I am staying, or connect my laptop to the TV and just use the web interface and my subdomain. I also use the Jellyfin android app to connect remotely using a phone or tablet.

    At home all my TVs use a Roku and the Jellyfin Roku app to connect locally.

  • So still no Wireguard and no split tunneling...sticking with Mullvad then.

  • Does the new version have Wireguard or is it still stuck with just openVPN?I gave up on ProtonVPN for my Linux devices and switched back to Mullvad. They have Wireguard and split tunneling on Linux and have for quite a while.

  • I own an Airbnb and found the Eufy smart lock to be extremely useful. Lock codes can be set remotely in the app with a start and end date. You can also use a fingerprint. The key is a style that can't be duplicated easily. It has an auto lock feature with a time delay setting. Camera and non-camera versions are available.

  • I didn't have to install manually, it showed up within the app as an available update.

  • I run Graphene OS on my phone and can confirm that the OS dialer app does have call recording.

  • Well then your devices are still phoning home with telemetry that is still tied to your ISP assigned IP address (guest network doesn't provide any privacy).

  • Context (from the FAQ):

    "We're not actually a domain name registration service, we're a customer to these. We sit in between the domain name registration service and you, acting as a privacy shield.

    When you purchase a domain name through Njalla, we own it for you. However, the agreement between us grants you full usage rights to the domain. Whenever you want to, you can transfer the ownership to yourself or some other party."
