Well duh, most software these days doesn't have a direct license cost; you don't pay for the Netflix app on your TV, you pay for Netflix the service.

(Okay, Netflix might not be the best example for sustainable software-based profit but you get the idea.)

Why do you feel the need to change phones? Pixel 6 Pro should still be plenty good enough.

If its stock ROM bothers you, you're in luck because Pixels are surprisingly hackable and it's very easy these days.

See i.e.: https://grapheneos.org/
No need to worry about Google services, they work: https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play

Signal "only" does PQ key exchange. Apple claims to be doing PQ rekeying in addition to PQ key exchange.

Read the article before commenting perhaps.

Note that this isn't really a DNS leak. DoH is also going through the VPN proxy, so no data is leaked anywhere here.

What the "DNS leak test" does is to check whether you're using Mullvad's DNS servers. That's it. It doesn't and cannot actually check whether or not your DNS requests happen through the proxy or not.

I see. In future, better refer to this as "ripped blu-rays" or "ripped ISOs" to avoid confusion. "uncompressed" really does mean something entirely different.

Glad you managed to sort it out :)

Don't bother with this person. All I've seen them do is read the post's title and produce an (often inappropriate) reaction to said title. Peak Redditor.

Do you need the SIM card inside the phone after registration?

WDYM by "uncompressed"? A truly uncompressed 4K HDR movie needs about 6Gbit/s of goodput. A 2.5Gbit/s link won't be enough for that.

I have never used it but https://selfprivacy.org/ looks pretty interesting. The way it supposedly works is that their app sets up a VPS for you in a guided manner. They set up the services you want (i.e. Nextcloud and Bitwarden) and configure things like backups and HTTPS for you.

The technical foundations are sound (NixOS) and they're funded in part by NLnet.

They Might be worth trying out if you want control over your data but don't want the responsibility of setting up and maintaining your services while still ultimately being in control of everything.

And how much time you want to put into not getting scammed.

Owning one of those can come in handy anyways.
