Not happy with Firefox ? For a more privacy friendly Firefox fork check LibreWolf : librewolf.net You don’t have to remove Firefox, you can run both at the same time.

lemmyreader,

Thanks for sharing!

Instagram locked my account and forced me to appeal and send a picture of my face, so I sent a picture of Shrek. They deleted my account

I’ve been a social media hermit for the past 3 years but recently I’ve given up and created a few accounts across different apps again. It’s unreal how strict the requirements are now....

lemmyreader,

What ? You did not obey the surveillance capitalism overlords ? :-) /j

Thanks for sharing, good to know!

Is PixelFed pixelfed.org a good alternative for privacy minded people out there ? I know that PixelFed users can be followed from Mastodon which seems nice to me.

lemmyreader,

Yup.

Buy any domain name, doesn’t matter what.

Suggested to OP and others that self-hosting email is easy and reliable is a bad idea in my opinion.

Instead I suggest the OP to let go of the “free” requirement. There are at least three email providers that provide email for 1 Euro a month including a few email aliases. Another option is to find a web hosting company that also provides email with web hosting. For example Gandi used to do that though I read they made some changes with their hosting options.

lemmyreader,

This comes a few days after Jack Dorsey confirmed that he had left the board of Bluesky and then starting to use Tw(X)tter and calling Tw(X)tter “freedom technology”. Coincidence ?

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,

That is true to some extend (Though search engines would afaik correct 404 pages and delete the old fetched data), but the automatic deletion does stop part of the audience of having a lot of data to create a fingerprint.

All the commenters suggesting that Proton is just a company and would always give in to legal requests and all other companies and any email provider would do the same, here’s some more to add. Yesterday I saw a now invalid toot comment from ProtonPrivacy on Mastodon Social where they wrote that it was Apple who was to blame and that Proton gave the recovery email address only because this was a case of a terrorism suspect suggesting that if that (terrorism) was not the case they would not have given in to the request. Today their comment sadly gives a 404 error. Searching a bit further this article comes up mentioning Proton and Wire :

In the new resolution, the National Audience judge recalls that in January, in a judicial report he issued on the case, he highlighted a conversation from July 12th and 13th, 2020, about the king’s visits, which was included in the Tsunami investigative evidence, and of which he admits that until that point he had not made reference in his investigation which extends over the period from 2016 to 2022. Specifically, one of the people under investigation, the Girona businessperson Josep Campmajó, spoke to the figure named Xuxu Rondinaire, with profile @marietadelulllviu, about mobilizations in 2019, using the Wire messenger app. The judge has asked for the identification of this person, information now obtained by the Civil Guard, which details that they used Europol to ask the Swiss authorities for the Wire firm to identify the person behind this pseudonym, with a profile that is also used in Proton Mail, an encrypted email system. In the police cooperation form requesting the information, the Spanish officers indicate to the Swiss authorities that the investigation is for the crime of terrorism.

Help required, Certain VPN does not connect and times out

Can someone help, i have been having trouble connected with my home universities vpn, for past 15-20days, it is an openvpn connection, so i have been using networkmanager-openvpn to import my config files, and they have worked previously, but for last 15-20 days i get connection timed out, all certificates used are correct, i...

lemmyreader,

I am not sure if you would be able to compare the content of that file on your phone as well ? Maybe with adb and then check the content there (not sure if Android also uses /etc/resolv.conf) ? Or maybe test connecting on a Linux live USB stick and compare ?

lemmyreader, (edited )

Your phone is fine with the new certificates but Linux on the desktop is not. Would it be possible that both Arch Linux and Linux Mint have software upgraded that is causing the connection failure ? Could it still work if you would use an older LTS Linux version as live USB stick ? Or would the new certificates actually require newer software, like OpenSSL (which is I think a build dependency for OpenVPN) on the desktop ? EDIT: I guess the latter is not the case since Arch Linux is a rolling distribution. But you could ask your IT persons at the university whether they upgraded something ?

lemmyreader,

You can try to follow the build instructions like mentioned in another comment but be aware that you are trying to build for a platform which has as far as I can see no official support compile instructions for the software. YMMV.

lemmyreader,

Your email relay or Beehaw could be “hacked”.

[Resolved] Cannot Reconnect With Static IP

I have a Raspberry Pi 02W running Pi-Hole and ordinarily things work perfectly, but I’ve got something in my house tripping my fuse box which I’m unable to locate. The tripper, not the fuse box. Anyway, what it means is occasionally, I lose power and so my router and my Pi-Hole go down....

lemmyreader, (edited )

On routers and modems the DHCP range is usually not allocating the full range for IP addresses to hand out to devices. If I were you I would configure the pi-hole to have a static IP address on the pi-hole itself so it will be independent from your router’s DHCP server. For example let’s say

  • the DHCP IP range is 192.168.1.20 to 192.168.1.254
  • then you can pick for example 192.168.1.19 for your pi-hole

With that approach you will avoid IP address conflicts and the pi-hole should be fine. If you’re using systemd on the pi-hole that is maybe easiest, here an example :

Another option is to use nmtui from NetworkManager

[Question] Securely Passing Host VPN to KVM?

I’ve attempted to create a VM on my ubuntu host machine that is accessing the internet via a dedicated VPN app. I’m able to disconnect my host VPN and access the web within the VM, but cannot access the web when the host VPN is enabled. Ideally I’d like to enable the VPN on the host and pass through web access to the VM....

lemmyreader,

The moment your VPN app starts it will change gateway and name servers for your host. If the virtual NIC of your VM is bridged with your host I would expect it to work fine for the VM. Is this with KVM or Qemu or VirtualBox or something else ? How is networking configured ?
