Tuta mail? I haven’t had issues with it so far and it supports custom domains

I’ve used Mega for public filesharing (with a burner email made with my domain fronted through tuta)

Mullvad (even though they had the CEO incident I find them less risky than proton

I don’t use password managers, I have a physical notebook I put in a safe.

Mullvad and Aurora seems to work fine on GrapheneOS, not sure if some VPNs are just blacklisted more

NFC with solely the phone, RFID using an android app and with a programmer attached via USB.

Creating programmable cards is exactly what we did at uni using an android app and a peripheral lol

(Including getting into utility rooms back when the security was an afterthought)

Downloading an RFID/NFC spoofer app and loading a script from github?

Yes. Being a script kiddie is still much easier.

Sometimes IOT devices don’t make rational sense to install. This is up there with “smart” lightbulbs in terms of creating a vulnerability through convenience.

When I 3d print a plastic phone mount for my bike, that doesn’t make the base bike any easier to steal. This does make your house less secure, even though it adds utility.

Electronic mechanisms are more prone to people being able to be able to access areas without evidence of tampering using simple scripts from the internet, whereas lockpicking is not employed by most burglars. (And as stated previously, level of commitment is greater when destruction is involved, which deters most.)

Having a noisy break-in also means you are more capable of responding if the need arises.

If all you care about is deterrence, just own a shotgun and have a loud dog at home.

No, not at the current moment. Hypothetically someone could set up an array of anonymous Youtube accounts to use explicitly for authentication challenges similar to how Aurora handles Google Play Store downloads, but currently that service doesn’t exist for Youtube.

You would need to find an anonymous google account, or create a burner.

Self-hosted gits in Brazil are gonna be making a comeback baby!

If you have a custom domain you can make as many as you want.

Isn’t the logic behind that is that TOR’s original purpose was for secure, untraceable connections between military/intelligence personnel? If the traffic only composed of people working under the US government and their loved ones, it would be rather trivial to isolate the traffic and make a logical guess of who’s talking to who. Opening it to the public was not something done as a honeypot for people to encounter, it is a requirement for the system to function as anonymous communication for all users.

As for why nodes are mostly hosted in 5 or 14 eye nations, consider where the funding for nodes is (and what would happen if you hosted one in a nation actively trying to strangle TOR traffic).

GrapheneOS my beloved

Anna’s Archive does have guides for all of that (apart from the legal advice) on their site (use wikipedia to find the right domain).

I don’t think you’d want to do so as a university student unless you want to share the same fate as Aaron Swartz though.

“You are frustrated with society, yet you live in society. Curious.” -ass comment.

Also, FOSS/debloated options exist, pally.

Lists, my guy. Figure out what games you want to play, movies to watch, etc…

You don’t need to hoard everything. You can go around and look as your tastes develop, that’s part of being human after all.

GrapheneOS has a community maintained compatibility list. Mine was on the list and it works well, and its updated quickly if something breaks or a new provider manages to work.

Wouldn’t both the Asahi Linux project and the prior examples of android managing to be ran on iPhone 5 models and below be solid examples to the contrary?

They don’t have custom firmware because it’s locked down, not because of their product line’s existence.

If iPhones were as easy to mod as Pixels, then the sheer amount of potential users would probably mean a custom firmware would be swiftly developed.

So yeah, we should name and shame them, even if Apple has no interest in opening the gates.
