  • Generally custom domains don't pass spam filters very well. Your email server will have to be immaculate and even then, you could be sent to spam simply because you're not on the TLD whitelist of a mail server...

    Generally, I don't recommend people roll their own mail server, and even less so when you don't use typical TLD. You can always test it out, though, if you already have the domain: https://www.mailgenius.com/

  • The police cannot clone SIM cards or hijack IMEI without a court order, and if they have a court order to do that, then it's trivial for it to include orders to compel you to unlock your phone/SIM anyways. This doesn't really protect you.

  • Most Android versions have this now. Became popular as soon as SCOTUS ruled that police can compel you to unlock your device via biometrics. Enable it. If you think you may be arrested, simply restart your phone and now they need a court order to unlock your phone which means they have to convince a judge with probable cause.

  • Practically speaking, there's a huge difference.

    RCS/iMessage are great. They're a huge upgrade over SMS, however, the E2E statements they make aren't really verifiable to the degree necessary to call them secure. They also require hardware compatibility, software compatibility, environment compatibility (root breaks RCS) as well as network compatibility so the pool of devices that work both ways with RCS is still pretty small. It's frankly a mess. Default settings for most RCS/iMessage applications will attempt to send via E2E protocols and if it fails, it defaults back to sending SMS. So now your super secret content was just sent basically over cleartext if the protocol send fails. lol

    Realistically speaking, he's right. There's no difference. People don't casually message information which is important enough to require perfect forward secrecy. So at the end of the day choose which works best for you and if you do dumb shit like sending credit card and social security numbers over clearnet, then prepare to have your anus widened.

    I personally prefer running an MTProto proxy on top of Telegram. I control the proxy, so I can view where the network traffic is going in transit for the most part. Is MTProto perfect? No. But it's vastly improved since previous independent audits and it's "good enough."

    If critically sensitive information has to touch a device with internet access then you need a mature security protocol like PGP or some other shared key cryptography so you can verifiably ensure you're talking to whom you're supposed to be talking to. If that's something you're interested in, give Keybase a try. It's a really great platform built around a really great technology (PGP). The mobile application comes with a chat option that uses your PGP key to symmetrically encrypt your chat messages using Scrypt (with PBKDF2) making it significantly more secure than any other option mentioned here.

  • Because they're using the data angle. Which is the worst possible angle when dealing with Americans. Our data has been stolen for decades with zero recourse with multi-billion dollar companies reselling our data without our permission. When they get caught? haha, slap on the wrist, don't do it again. Then they do--because the fines are punitive and not prohibitive.

    At least when dealing with XHS like sure, the CCP may be taking data, but like, what are they gonna do with it? They gonna send a tactical ICBM to my house? And in the end at least I'm choosing to let them have it. And not them put up notices like "We promise we won't do XXX!" and then 2 years later you find out they've been doing XXX all along.

    It's literally a six of one, half dozen of the other problem. If your data is compromised either way, at least this way you get a choice of who gets it. And that's really what pisses them off.

  • It's not a personal insult. I'm objectively pointing out that your emotional intelligence is low, considering you're seemingly incapable of understanding that some people mind slurs, and services have every right to police their own platforms...

  • For example, today I got a popup notification from Microsoft suggesting that I should install an xbox app.

    Ahh! If that's the case you've come to the right place! I've been begrudgingly using Windows for 2 decades and I've found two utilities that help you disable 99% of that nagware.

    Using these 2 applications you can basically gut Windows down to nothing. You can also use Windows Update Blocker to completely disable Windows Update, so features aren't added or re-enabled without you knowing about it. Make sure you enable "protect services settings!" This breaks winget, but I just pull the wub.exe up, enable updates, use winget, then re-disable updates. Only takes a second.

    Doing this will completely change your Windows experience.

    If you want to get even more crazy, you can do Windows 10/11 IoT which is a version of Windows designed for embedded devices (which still has windows enterprise level features, including telemetry disabled by default) which comes without a significant portion of the bullshit you get with consumer versions of Windows. Typically, you can selectively enable or install things it doesn't have if you end up needing them, but I've never run into any issues.

    If you wanna give it a try you can download Windows 11 (26100.1742) IoT here, or Windows 10 (22H2) IoT here.

  • I thought the driver came in the kernel.

    It entirely depends on the WiFi module. Some aren't included.

    I am trying to use it wired

    Then this is even more suspicious considering DualSense is probably the most well-supported controllers on Linux, with an official Sony driver. Are you doing USB-A to USB-C? Or USB-C to USB-C? If it's USB-C to USB-C is your USB-C hubs driver installed correctly? Try a different cable, specifically USB-A to USB-C. Try many different USB ports. You might have to specifically use a USB-A 2.0 port, and not 3.0/3.1/3.2 port.

  • Some people mind. 🤷‍♂️ You do realize more people other than yourself exist in the world, right?

    I personally couldn't care less. But I also recognize that CodeBerg has every right to police their own platform in whichever way they see fit. If they don't want this kind of shit on their platform because their users disagree with it, then all the more power to them.

    Honestly lil bro, you lack emotional intelligence.

  • In my experience winapps doesn't work well enough to use for work. I had almost constant issues with it.

    I struggled like you for a long time until I found a happy medium. I have a folder on my C: drive called utilities. It's been added to the %PATH%. In it, I have eget with a config for all my utilities for making Windows easier to use. I also have BusyBox for Windows.

    It emulates a good 90% of *nix utilities without having to deal with WSL (older environments) or doing anything extensive to your environment (corporate laptop friendly). I recommend you at least give it a try and see if it works for you.

    It's nice because you can update everything by running eget --download-all.
