Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics in c/[email protected]

Yeah, IOS and stock android are not acceptable if you care about this stuff

On graphene my bluetooth and wifi turn themselves OFF if I haven't been connected for a few minutes

That's the issue with the patriot act, they've been allowed to do warrantless searches for a long time now.

FISA court if they run into any friction

I agree I close them if I see that, but just so you know a combo of bypass paywalls clean, and ublock origin (go into settings and enable all cookie notices, social widgets, and annoyances) will bypass 95% of those without you even knowing

If that fails go to web.archive.org and paste the URL, that works most of the time. There's a web extension called "web archives" that makes this easy if you're ok with other extensions

There is no evidence. safety is about staying multiple steps ahead and risk mitigation when possible.

Centralized servers are a single point of failure that could be compromised in the future.

My contact's devices they use signal on are insecure and could be easily compromised in the future.

SMS/Cell network in general are insecure as hell and I avoid it as much as possible.

Why would I expose all that sensitive data when there's literally no need to? Simplex works great for me.

[Question] Stremio alternative for iOS and tvOS in c/[email protected]

Yeah, for me personally I'm sticking to simplex. I can get an anonymous sim card, but none of the people I'd be talking to would do that. I don't want this relationship/network map out there at all if I can avoid it.

LocalSend can also send installed .apks if you're on android.

Localsend is just awesome in general, use it if you need to send files wirelessly over lan

ya the desktop gui is pretty ram hungry as well. It's not perfect but weighing the pros and cons of all available options I have come to like and appreciate simplex quite a bit. The client has also gotten a lot better recently.

The main downside on android for me is the battery drain but I think that is a consequence of me not using google push notifications

Simplex is an option, you can host your own servers and it has crossplatform GUI + CLI

I think it's pretty cool, and it's pretty easy to set up (there are a lot of options you may wanna look at though)

Wireless Screen Casting / Sharing? (links.hackliberty.org)

Hi all,

What do you use to wirelessly project your screen?

I have sunshine / moonlight set up and that works alright but I'm told there are simpler ways and I'm behind the times :p

Is this a thing in FOSS / Linux land? All suggestions welcome and appreciated.

EDIT: I use Graphene on a Pixel 8A

What are your favorite music streaming apps? (Spotify replacement) (links.hackliberty.org)

submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I've recently moved to pixel/graphene and I'm looking for a more open replacement for spotify.

I installed a bunch from F-droid to test (newpipe, pipepipe, libretube, RiMusic, SpMp, SimpmMusic, InnertTune, ViMusic, etc)

I’m testing them all but I’m a bit overwhelmed with choice.

I'd like to find something that lets me control the music from my desktop, either through KDE connect or a standalone app. FOSS / F-droid preferred

I plan to start maintaining my library locally but I still need some kind of streaming solution.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

EDIT: I'm not interested in a paid subscription service, if I was ok with that I would have stayed on spotify. Thanks for all responses.

Best Android Music Streaming Solution? (Youtube Music w/ Desktop sync) (links.hackliberty.org)

submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hello all,

I have recently moved to pixel/graphene, and am looking to dump spotify.

On desktop I use Freetube and Nuclear which I really like, but I haven't found a good way to sync with mobile.

On the android side I have newpipe, pipepipe, libretube, RiMusic, SpMp, SimpmMusic, InnertTune, ViMusic.....

I'm a bit overwhelmed with options.

I've heard of cracked spotify apks but I'm not sure what the deal is with those

With that in mind please give recommendations or explain your solution. KDE connect integration is a nice plus some of these apps have but I'd be ok with using a standalone application as long as I can somehow control the music on either device.

I plan to start maintaining my library locally but I still need some kind of streaming solution.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

How can I send 50gb+ file over internet to friend? (links.hackliberty.org)

Hello,

I'm trying to send something to my gf's friend (~50gb)

I tried creating my own torrent and was able to dl it on another device, but on her machine it stayed at 0% and wouldn't let me connect to seed

Is FTP a good option? I set up a proxmox server last night but I don't really know what I'm doing yet

Any guidance greatly appreciated, thanks.

On Real Debrid + VPNs (links.hackliberty.org)

submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hello,

I set up Stremio + Real Debrid for my girlfriend and we have been really enjoying it.

Since we use different VPNs at the moment, I had the idea to create a VM with stremio and a connection to the same server she's connected to.

The idea being we could use the debrid account simultaneously and have the same IP.

I quickly realized that the last digit of our client IPs were 0-3 digits off from each other, IE:

185.243.218.89 vs 185.243.218.90

Upon seeing this I stopped and checked the debrid account/email to check for a warning and saw nothing.

Question 1: Is this safe/acceptable, or is this considered breach of debrid TOS?

Question 2: Would configuring a VPN on our router solve this issue? Or would it be the same situation?

I'm a bit of a networking idiot as you can see but I'm on a journey to learn.

Thanks in advance
