As I continue to look for new tools to increase my data/identity protection, I came across jmp.chat as an interesting phone service. It seems like a potentially nice way to privatize phone and SMS more, but I'm a novice at all of this and wonder if anyone else has done more research on this matter. Does anyone have opinions on...
Hi there,...
It feels like we have a new privacy threat that's emerged in the past few years, and this year especially. I kind of think of the privacy threats over the past few decades as happening in waves of:...

I found it complicated at first (didn't know which instance "will last", where to register to not lose anything when instance admin decide to turn it down), but now it's going good. We are missing mobile apps though....

...but I apparently had opted to receive payment through Venmo. Now Venmo wants me to set up a business account. Any idea what's up with that?
I've been using Openboard as my keyboard since 2020, and I'm pleased with it. However, I've noticed that the latest update was back in August 2022. Does this mean it's deprecated?...
Hi all, I understand that everything will be archived forever - but what is the best way to clear our my current account and all of its history?
Hello everyone,...
Never rely on any cloud service! A good cloud based password manager is end to end encrypted meaning the password manager provider cannot access your passwords and they are secured from the provider and any compromise of the provider. But you do not only need confidentiality but also reliability. The cloud is just someone else's...

Can't count the number of times a privacy related youtuber was recommending questionable tools due to sponsorships. Refreshing to see reasoning and user input taken into account when deciding what tools are recommended. In a matter of weeks I've been able to transition to a much more private and secure lifestyle that would've...
I am still new to privacy, please steer me. I see that many use RSS feeds to get their news. I was trying to use neuters as a front end to get my RSS feed started and cannot get it going....

Just because software is open source does not mean someone is actually looking at the code. But depending on the software there are incentives to do so. Some people might be technologically interested on the way a software does something and look at the source code for that. Some people might want to check the benignity for...
You might have old accounts especially cloud accounts that are just idling abandoned while still holding personal information. They might have old weak passwords just waiting to get compromised. Same goes for old email addresses that you do not use anymore but are still linked to other accounts. This is a reminder to check...
I vaguely remember reading something about leaking your private network setup if you used Let's Encrypt to generate your certificates....
Kickstarting this community; let's discuss our favorite apps on Android & iOS.
I've seen the post saying that the lead developer is stepping down, I've seen his accusations of abuse. I've seen enormous write-ups which make questionable claims about how he's the devil himself. I've seen a lot of rumour and hearsay, and now I've got no idea what to think....
For a while now I've been quite happy running LibreWolf, with Bitwarden and some other privacy extensions. I've also switched over from Google to Kagi as a search engine; doesn't keep me anonymous, but I do love not being the product for once.
