  • Perhaps try Authnkey which is more recently updated. If that doesn't work then some details like which security key you are using and over which protocol (USB or NFC) would be good to know.

  • Is this Android SSH app vibe coded?

    Jump

  • Maybe people don't care but some do. I am sure I am not alone in caring. I believe every user should have the right to know what is running on their system and where it came from. What they choose to do with that information is up to them.

  • Astral to Join OpenAI

    Jump

  • Sigh. I knew uv and ruff were too good to be true. Just hope the community can fork before it all goes to crap.

  • What happened to Cromite website/ F-Droid repo?

    Jump

  • Ultimately that is your choice. I personally will not use researchxxl's version considering they appeared out of nowhere and there was 0 communication about the transition. For now I will continue to use Catfriend's version and perhaps switch to nel0x's in the future.

  • What happened to Cromite website/ F-Droid repo?

    Jump

  • No, the maintainer of syncthing fork deleted their account and the repos out of the blue. There's a lengthy forum post about it here.

  • Leaving rooted Android [OC]

    Jump

  • You don't have to compile GrapheneOS from source thanks to avbroot which can take a release zip, patch it with root and sign it using a custom avb key. This lets you root while keeping the bootloader locked.

    The rooted-graphene project automates this completely using GitHub actions. It even lets you do OTA updates like normal GrapheneOS.

  • New features are now available in the Proton Mail apps

    Jump

  • Yet the source code still isn't public. It's been at "As we're rolling it out gradually to ensure a bug free experience, source code will be available at a later time on our GitHub repo." for the last 2 months. Later time probably means in a year at this point.

    Edit: 2 months later (if anyone's still reading this lol) they have finally updated the GitHub repo with the latest source code. Phew.

  • Can Unified Push be setup for Proton Mail on GrapheneOS?

    Jump

  • In a way, yes. The more things that have your credentials the greater the attack surface. However the code is open source, you could inspect it and build it from source if you'd like to. Additionally if you use a mailbox password then the app won't be able to read email content as the mailbox password is used to decrypt the actual content while the main password is for accessing the account. The app doesn't need your mailbox password for its functionality so it can't decrypt email content (except the header which is not encrypted by PGP).

  • Can Unified Push be setup for Proton Mail on GrapheneOS?

    Jump

  • Yes I have been using this for a year now and it works great. You can customise the poll duration (how long it waits before checking for new emails) and the notifications have quick actions like mark as read and trash.

  • Half-good new Danish Chat Control proposal

    Jump

  • Chat control and any sort of good are fundamentally incompatible.

  • WhatsApp adds passkey protection to end-to-end encrypted backups | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • I am able to access the data folder which is located in Internal storage/Android/media/com.whatsapp. This is without root using the AOSP files app, not sure if that's what you meant.

  • Microsoft OneDrive lets you disable AI face recognition three times in a year!

    Jump

  • For a second I thought this was The Onion. This is so dark and invasive but I can't stop myself from laughing. It's like they don't even care to pretend anymore.

  • Citizen Protest Halts Chat Control; Breyer Celebrates Major Victory for Digital Privacy

    Jump

  • Great!

    I'm sick of this. We have to defeat it every time it comes up, and there is no doubt it'll come up again in 2-3 months. They only have to win once and when they do it'll be in our lives forever.

  • custom rom?

    Jump

  • KernelSU has something like this called app profiles where you can set the capabilities that each app gets when it uses su. And if you are a SELinux wizard you can also set a custom domain for each app which would give you the fine grained control you're looking for. I doubt the average KernelSU user wants to delve into SELinux details so some tool to automate this would be cool. Sadly doesn't look like Magisk supports this.

  • custom rom?

    Jump

  • Rooting devices breaks the principle of sandboxing: one app shouldn't be able to access or modify another app or its data, or system files. If you give an app root, it can do whatever it wants to the system. It could install a keylogger to steal credentials, extract login tokens from another app's storage or just nuke system files to make your device unbootable.

    Let's say you don't give any apps root. Even having a rooting platform on the phone (e.g. Magisk) is still a vulnerability. Most rooting platforms will ask the user whether an app should get root when the app requests it. But there could be code execution vulnerabilities (e.g. buffer overflows) in the rooting platform that let you add an app to the list of apps allowed to use root without user confirmation.

    TLDR: Root gives an app full access to the device, it could do anything with that. Even if you're careful with what you give root to, it still adds a lot of attack surface that could be exploited.

  • I use GrapheneOS without play services on my daily driver because I despise Google's forcing play services down Android's throat. The irony isn't lost on me that Graphene only works on Google devices, that will hopefully change soon as Graphene works with an OEM to build their own devices. I don't bother with banking or government apps as they aren't mandatory where I live, at least not yet. I try to stick to FOSS (or at least source available) apps where possible.

    On a secondary device I also run a rooted version of GrapheneOS just for fun. Yes I know it might be viewed as terribly insecure but it's just a secondary device that I like to play around with, it doesn't have any important data on it. I find it quite interesting to learn how rooting methods work to bypass the normal security measures in place.

  • Google confirms Android dev verification will have free and paid tiers, no public list of devs - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • Absolutely. The general population is braindead when it comes to privacy and digital rights and it gets worse with newer generations as 24/7 connectivity and everything being online is the norm for them. As long as they can watch some social media slop they are satisfied. I believe the proliferation of AI will accelerate this as people delegate their critical thinking faculties to machines and accept big tech's propaganda as gospel. Chatgippity knows best, right?

    Jump

  • I really hate this timeline. 99% of companies pushing users into walled gardens. Governments and banks forcing people to use invasive apps that only work in those walled gardens. Slowly our control is eroded, yet your average user couldn't care less as long as they get to watch their TikTok slop for a few hours a day.

    Until a Linux phone becomes viable I'll be using a rooted custom ROM and avoiding banking/government apps like the plague.

  • Big Brother is watching Switzerland!

    Jump

  • It can be implemented well but often isn't. Likely eID will force you to use an mobile app (no website or Linux app, yay) that is only available on Apple's app store or GPlay. And if you want to run a degoogled android ROM good luck with that when they force Play Integrity. Basically shoving everyone into either the Apple or Google walled garden along with the complementary spyware of both gardens and also screwing anyone who uses a non-smart phone either out of choice or circumstance.
