What are the most private social media platforms?

I’ve been feeling uneasy about the privacy implications of using Lemmy and similar platforms. The ability for anyone to view your entire posting history feels to me like publicly sharing my browser history. In contrast, most other social media platforms allow you to limit your feed visibility to just friends or followers....

lemmyreader,

On Mastodon (and maybe also Akkoma/Pleroma/Misskey/firefish and so on) there is an option in the settings to auto delete your posts (formerly known as toots) with fine tune options if you for instance want to delete your posts but save your favorites and boosts. Several people have their toots older than one month automatically deleted. Before this was an option in Mastodon, people already did this with help of other software.

Lemmy is not very similar as StackExchange/SuperUser/Quora but in some threads Lemmy resembles a Q&A site so it makes sense to leave the conversations as is.

Regarding the most private social media question I’d think of Friendica, Hubzilla, and Pixelfed as best.

16 years of CVE-2008-0166 - Debian OpenSSL Bug (16years.secvuln.info)

Today, 16 years ago, Debian published a security advisory announcing CVE-2008-0166, a severe bug in their OpenSSL package that effectively broke the random number generator and limited the key space to a few ten thousand keys. The vulnerability affected Debian+Ubuntu between 2006 and 2008. In 2007, an email signature system...

lemmyreader,

You want to try something interesting but want to dual-boot. That last bit could be difficult or “impossible” but using a VM or running from USB stick are options.

  • www.haiku-os.org I’ve run it from USB stick on some older laptop.
  • chimera-linux.org FreeBSD user-land with a Linux kernel.
  • nomadbsd.org FreeBSD which can be run from USB stick with persistent storage. Has a version with ZFS support.
  • nixos.org Very interesting concept.
  • www.gobolinux.org GoboLinux is an alternative Linux distribution which redefines the entire filesystem hierarchy. Doesn’t seem up to date but quite interesting. If I remember well you can have different versions of software installed at the same time. Let’s say (making this up) Bash 1.1, 3.1 and 5.2
  • bedrocklinux.org Bedrock Linux is a meta Linux distribution which allows users to mix-and-match components from other, typically incompatible distributions.
lemmyreader,

Yes. Haiku is quite light weight, small and snappy. One drawback is that it has not yet multi user implemented (everything still runs as root! But so do old DOS flavors :-) ) but imho it is fun to play with and check which software packages it has (it has several emulators packaged).

lemmyreader,

Yes, Waydroid uses lxc containers.

lemmyreader,

Did you check what the connections are about ? Maybe it is only checking for new updates ?

lemmyreader,

Did you do a sha256sum or md5sum checksum after downloading the iso file and after copying it to the Ventoy pendrive ? (Linux uses caching for copying. Taking the pendrive out before your system has done a “safe remove” can cause problems)

lemmyreader,

👍 Interesting idea.

lemmyreader,

Take a look at the fog server project.

Thanks. fogproject.org

lemmyreader,

😀

lemmyreader,

Indeed. GoboLinux is neat last time I tried it. Although it’s not clear to me how active its development is.
