programmer interested in privacy/security. Mostly Go and Python
cock.li but it doesn’t encrypt your inbox so keep that in mind.
xpra: it is like tmux but for X windows (works on wayland), but it can do much more than that. You can seamlessly run GUI programs from a container or VM on your main desktop while still sandboxing their X capabilities, forward windows from Windows desktops, and it has efficient encoding so it is usable over poor connections as well.
At least on my phone, rebooting also makes it require PIN
For those who don’t remember, not only could signal be used for SMS, it used to be able to do encrypted sms convos.
As a Go dev, its simplicity is arguably taken too far. For example there are no union types or proper enums
The main benefit is since it is locally installed, it is harder for proton’s server to access your encrypted data by serving you malicious JS. A malicious desktop app/update could be served too, but that may be trickier.
It usually isn’t super hard to tell apart randomized junk like this from real human patterns. That is why Tor Browser for example tries its best to make everyone look the same instead of randomizing everything.
That said, for the mere purpose of throwing off the ISPs profiling algorithms, you could make a relatively simple python program to solve this. A naive solution would just do an http GET to each site, but a better solution would mimic human web browsing:
If you have no programming capability this will be rough. If you have at least a little you can follow tutorials and use an LLM to help you.
The main issue with this goal is that it isn’t possible to tell how advanced your ISP’s profiling is, so you have no way to know if your solution is effective.
Feel free to DM me if you go this route.
I do something similar with rclone and vultr’s s3 service. I made an s3 remote in rclone and then a encryption layer remote on top of that.
You can make actual docker compose
use podman by running a user podman docker socket and setting that as an environment variable (export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/$UID/podman/podman.sock)

Its best to have some defence in depth. Ideally you would have a firewall on your network AND your local machine. If you are running a laptop definitely have a local firewall on that as you cannot trust random networks you connect to when out and about in the world.
firewalld is sufficient, i suggest learning its CLI as it is not super complicated. ufw is ok if you are allergic to command line.
I believe he does extend it to JavaScript however, so if he were required to run unfree javascript on a webpage relating to his treatment that could be a problem.
I don’t think tar is actually hard, we are just in the time where we externalize more information into resources such as Google. Its the same reason why younger people don’t remember routes by name or cardinal direction as much anymore.
side note: $ tldr is much better than man for just getting common stuff done.

I use xpra which lets me run persistent seamless windows from my VMs and remote servers. It would probably work okay with xwayland but i might as well keep using X. I understand why people use Wayland though and would recommend it to newcomers.
They’re decent for text completion purposes, e.g. generating some corpspeak for an email, or generating some “wikipedia”-like text. You have to know how to write good prompts, don’t try to treat it like ChatGPT.
For example if i want to know about the history of Puerto Rico I would put:
“The history of puerto rico starts in about 480BC when”
There is already gridcoin which is a cryptocurrency that awards boinc work, so I’d say this concern has already been addressed because of that.
