  • VPN Comparison 2.0

    Jump

  • From what I understand Nymvpn uses 2-hop connection, aka your data goes through two of their servers before reaching its intended destination, versus 1-hop with most other VPNs. It's more private, but you'll sacrifice speed as a result of having to go through at least 2 servers. They even have a 5-hop mode, which I don't know, probably would be slower than tor xD

  • Private videoconferencing ?

  • Check the privacy policy: https://p2p.mirotalk.com/privacy

    E2EE usually implies that your connection goes through the company's server(s) before reaching your contact during communication. With Mirotalk, your connection is P2P. You connect directly to your contact. Your video stream never goes through the company's server. And the connection is still encrypted of course.

    So yes, your stream is encrypted. Honestly, if it wasn't, no way they'd be in business as encryption is probably the bare minimum nowadays when it comes to any kind of communication.

  • As much as I'd love to, ain't going to happen. KYC payment and non-voip phone number lets them minimize the number of cheaters. That would probably be the official PR reason from them when it's more about building a profile of your gaming taste and habits and selling that data to 3rd parties.

  • As much as I agree with you, fact is, if the ship sinks, so will Librewolf🙁

  • Security and privacy concerns with Ubiquiti devices

    Jump

  • Ubiquiti is business oriented, not consumer. It'd be very foolish for them to snoop on the traffic of their business customers.

    Ubiquiti is also a traded company. Their stock would crater in lieu of such news.

    As a consumer, besides reliability, privacy is another main reason to paying extra for enterprise gear.

  • [Switch.to] Monero payment gateway / Sovereign banking for everyone

    Jump

  • Kinda. Difference is Switch doesn't hold your funds before sending it to you. When someone pays, it goes directly to whatever wallet you have setup in Switch.

    That said. Their software is not open source, so you have to trust their software is safe and sound. Because from the looks of it, if they get hacked, someone could just change your account wallet to their own and all payments would then go to them instead of you.

    I don't use Switch so please take what I said with a grain of salt.

  • Is it possible to stay anonymous when joining a private tracker community?

    Jump

  • For the known top trackers, it's to have more control over nefarious users such as duped accounts, banned users and potential law enforcement trying to sign up. Sure it's not a bulletproof solution to deal with bad actors but it's still an effective way. You gotta remember that these trackers are free (yet private). The admins/operators don't get paid, so last thing they want to do is waste time dealing with such users.

    At the end of the day you still have to trust them with your real IP, but it's mostly to protect themselves afaik. I obviously can't speak for every tracker out there.

    How to get ProtonMail on FDroid?

    Jump

  • It's probably because Proton changed the repo. I was grabbing their release via Obtainium and noticed the version I had was way older than the version on the Play Store. Had to update my Obtainium entry for ProtonMail to the new repo: https://github.com/ProtonMail/android-mail

    VPS for Wireguard that's not blocked everywhere

    Jump

  • I was/am in the same boat, but I quickly gave up for the following reason: Why bust my ass trying to give my business? If Lowes blocks me then f*ck em I'll take my business to Home Depot. It's their loss.

  • Do eSIMs have any downsides from a privacy standpoint?

    Jump

  • Totally.

    I guess the privacy advantage of a regular SIM is that as soon as you pop out the sim card out of your phone, towers can't track you anymore.

    With eSIMs on the other hand, I can never truly trust that an eSIM is de-activated? Feels like you actually just have a permanent sim card in your phone and your phone can just be tracked no matter the status of your eSIM. Or is this not technically possible?

  • Looking for a Spotify replacement

    Jump

  • Can't really answer, but if the library was available to all your Plex users, Tidal probably has countermeasures for that or maybe would ban your account.

    Seeing 10 different songs (assuming you had 10 users streaming at the same time) being pulled from their servers from a single account would definitely raise suspicions.

    Maybe you can get away with it if you have a Family type account with Tidal.

    If there are only 2-3 of you, maybe it's worth a try though.

  • Any FOSS todo app for iOS?

    Jump

  • I can't give you an answer, but what I can tell is that, unfortunately, being on iOS, you won't have a lot of options when it comes to FOSS apps.

    Apple charges developers $100/year to be able to publish on the app store, so that gives very little incentives for iOS developers to publish their app without any kind of monetization, whether via a subscription, ads, or mass data gathering.

    I have a lot of respect for FOSS apps on iOS, because not only do devs offer an app FOSS, but they're paying that $100/year out of their own pocket.
