Kudos to the #MiamiHerald journalist who happened to capture the video, but the most chilling sentence In the narrators exposition is almost glossed over, so I emphasize it here,
*****"The Miami Herald said they could not locate the woman after this video was taken"*****
Say goodbye to whoever's daughter/sister this is. #America, can we PLEASE get our heads out of our collective asses ANY DAY NOW???
Daher ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass die Verehrte Nachbarin™ sich besondere Mühe gab, beim Zurücksetzen ihres Passworts bei Posteo keinen Tippfehler zu machen. Sie wollte es händisch vom iPhone in den geöffneten Browser auf dem iPad übertragen.
Und scheiterte.
Mehrfach.
Auch ich scheiterte, als ich das neue Passwort eintippen wollte. Sie las es mir vor, langsam und deutlich. Sie las, ich tippte.
Erst als ich mir ihr iPhone schnappte und die Nachricht selber sah, ging mir ein Licht auf.
PS: natürlich ist das hier gezeigte Passwort nicht mehr aktuell, der Screenshot ist aber authentisch. 🤣
⚠️ Digitale Souveränität in Gefahr? US-Behörden können unter bestimmten Umständen auf europäische Cloud-Daten zugreifen – auch bei Microsoft. Fachleute warnen seit Langem vor genau diesem Risiko. Umso unverständlicher ist die Ankündigung, Bayerns Verwaltungen umfassend mit Microsoft-Lizenzen auszustatten. Angesichts der aktuellen globalen Sicherheitslage ist eine kritische Neubewertung der IT-Strategie dringend erforderlich. Statt neuer Abhängigkeiten braucht es jetzt eine Stärkung europäischer Anbieter und echte digitale Souveränität. 👉 Hoffnung bleibt, dass Bayern diese Entscheidung noch einmal überdenkt.

Is it a pain to make banking app work on graphene? I've heard since it's not an official rom some banks straight out refuse to let you install their app/ flag you as a rogue user.
what's the down side? If I buy a phone from the supported list and install GrapheneOS on it, and then Google Play Services in a sandbox, and Google Play Store… is there anything I can't do on this phone that I could do on a mainstream build of Android?
(I have a GrapheneOS phone. I'm sorta asking for everyone.)
@nakal @progo NFC work on GrapheneOS, It's the contactless payment via Google Pay that is not working. If you live in EU, Curve Pay work and is recommended, Curve Pay should be made available in the US and Canada.
I do not use ‘Find my device’ apps, so I cannot answer that question.
@Xtreix @nakal @progo yeah I'm going to bring up Curve in my video, but of course being in the US I can't test it. From what I've read, it's *possible* but I can't confirm it at the moment.
I use it and can confirm that it works. There are some negative stories about customer service, but I haven't had any problems.
The only scary thing is that I had to prove my identity to them in order to unlock a payment limit that was far too low, with my ID card and a selfie. I don't like doing that, but I don't expect privacy with a traditional banking app anyway.
I read that PayPal works in the US for contactless payments, but I have never tried it.
what's with.. *gestures wildly at their social media presence*.
how trustworthy is an os that claims they are the only ones who do things the right way and everyone else makes grossly neglegent mistakes and also the denial that graphene is a version of android? i just feel icky about how they self represent...
I am sure you will mention this in the video, but let me ask regardless. Some apps simply won't work on #GrapheneOS due to the silly Play Integrity API or other factors. For example, I cannot switch right now, as my health insurance app will not work - at all - and I need it a lot. So did you encounter any annoying apps like this and how did or would you resolve this? I thought about a secondary phone but am not sure. Thanks!
@mcbaumwolle I am planning on talking about Play Integrity API but I'll point out that a lot of apps do work with it (including my own health insurance app).
App "store" recommendations. I've installed some stuff off of F-Droid, but have started feeling unsure about it due to some of the drama around Syncthing-fork, as well generic internet debate on the topic. Minimizing the usage of google play is a strong desire, but something that has a normal release/update pipeline would be nice.
@wickedshell The syncthing-fork GitHub disappeared without notice, and the F-Droid version switched to a different GitHub by a newly created user. All without prior notice or any statement by the original maintainer, who remained silent. He later resurfaced and confirmed that he did hand over the project to this person. There have been minor updates to st-f since then that are unsuspicious. People are understandably still a bit skeptical about the proceedings.
The repository of the popular Syncthing fork for Android disappeared from GitHub and reappeared under dubious circumstances – is this an open-source hack?
The fork of the fork (github.com/nel0x/syncthing-and…) is now archived anyway. If anything, the whole incident is an example of how open source software works: raise an issue, get eyes on the issue, better safe than sorry.
As an iOS user who has nearly zero experience with anything Android, I'd love to know if I can buy a supported Pixel to install & familiarize myself with grapheneOS without moving my sim card over, so I don't get stuck between phones for things like 2FA auth 😅 so I can complete my migration when it feels right. Thanks!
I run GOS on my pixel I think my only question/comment is that I'd like to see more support for Unified Push for doing self-hosted push in FOSS apps (nextcloud/signal or xmpp/thunderbird/SIP/etc.) and also I'm looking forward to them having their own hardware or at least options other than google. As a Canadian I'd prefer to avoid any Chinese or American tech that isn't full open source ideally including the baseband.
do you feel that the drama at all affects the product and its future? I daily drive Graphene with few bugs and no complaints for my use case, but even after the years of the dev going after Techlore and Rossmann, I still see a lot of aggression from him against anything deemed a "competitor." This might be too broad a topic to just be a video segment, but it is a concern what we hold standards to for conduct vs product in the overall health of the privacy community.
@thecyberwitch Do not fuel harassment and defamation against the GrapheneOS project and community. You mention names of people who have engaged in a lot of harassment. Louis Rossman is a verified member of the Kiwi Farms community, the Kiwi Farms is responsible for several murders of people they targeted. They used the same tactics against the founder.
I'm literally days away from promoting the crap out of GrapheneOS and encouraging lots of donations. Simply pointing out a difference of opinion in how comms are run is *hardly* "fueling harassment" and that is not a game I'm willing to play.
I probably won't cover Apple Calendar in depth in this video, but I managed to get this working in my personal life by creating my own Nextcloud calendar (which syncs via CalDAV), and then using profiles to add family members to that calendar.
Your video back then about installing it was a big help when I started using it. Thanks for that! As for now, like others I wonder about app stores, and also profiles and their uses.
how good for you is navigation recording? If I start record my trip (OsmAnd or Organic) and then listen to your YouTube videos, I get 10 second frezing glitches every 3mins. And yes, I bought Pixel and installed a GOS after your previous video. Good job!
@Encursed I don't use RCS because of Google dependency. Until there's a FOSS RCS application, I'm passing on it (I'm including that in the video as a passing mention).
I know others got it to work by installing the whole Google stack, but it can take a while to verify the phone and you have to install carrier services.
You actually don't need carrier services on most providers anymore. And on the latest builds they tweaked the underlying permissions enough that if you use messages and have sandboxed play services RCS will setup without the weird set of rituals you used to have to perform.
Optimum number of profiles, showing how to switch between them and explaining that tje rights management and the system of scopes can handle many privacy concerns before resorting to profiles.
been I'm a relatively new Graphene user and I was surprised that my experience switching was essentially flawless.
I'm obsessed with the privacy features and how easy it's been to degoogle but the last thing I'm a holdout for is for notifications! I ended up making a throwaway google account to get these working, but im curious if you use Google notifications, how private graphene really is with these on, or if you use an alternative? With this turned off what has been your experience?etc
In general it worked well: - my banking apps worked just fine. - RCS chat did not work, had to use SMS. - some apps require play API and would not work, e.g. local weather bureau app. - most other apps were ok.
But the killer was that one day the phone simply stopped making and receiving calls. Multiple reboots and a reinstall didn't help, reverting to stock fixed it.
Of course, the day it stopped was when my wife needed to urgently contact me...
So although I'd much prefer to run GOS, my experience is that I simply cannot trust it will keep working.
Maybe someone can help me with a problem I’m having, vaguely related to self hosting.
I want to use a domain with let’s encrypt certificates locally. I realise the only way to do this is a (automated) DNS-01 challenge if I don’t want to expose anything to the outside.
Those DNS challenges require my name server to have some kind of API to automate the process. My registrar/name server doesn’t have a API unfortunately.
I want to use the opportunity to switch my registrar and name server in one go, but I’m pretty picky…
My wish list is: - MFA for general account administration - scoped tokens or account for API access (don’t need or want to manage everything by API) - can handle .at domains - not cloudflare - registrar and name server should be one entity if possible - european if possible - supported by ngnix proxy manager if possible
Backup plan would be picking a registrar which supports DNSSEC for .at domains and use desec.io I guess.
But maybe the hive mind has a good recommendation for me? :)
Thank you in advance for reading! I’m aware I’m just a bit extra, but i want to be able to just ignore the whole name server and domain topic for the next ten years again if I can.
I don't have a registrar to recommend, but for the nameservers (which would already solve your problem) I had a good experience in the past with Hurricane Electric (dns.he.net). AFAIK the only requirement from your list it doesn't satisfy is being European (not 100% sure about MFA and scoped tokens).
selfhost.eu offers dynamic DNS which works perfectly fine with my router, using their API access as documented by them. It also works perfectly well with Let’s Encrypt integrated in Nginx Proxy Manager.
can handle .at domains
is not Cloudflare
is registrar and name server
is European (Germany)
supports Nginx Proxy Manager
They’re in the market since 2001, I use them since ca. 2010 and never had any issues. Their website looks ancient, almost historic. But it’s functional.
Your registrar should let you specify who is hosting the DNS records. Pick any host compatible with your client. Personally I use Namecheap and haven't had to touch it in years.
Important lego is an independent, free, and open-source project, if you value it, consider supporting it! ❤️
This project is not owned by a company. I’m not an employee of a company.
I don’t have gifted domains/accounts from DNS companies.
Not sure if inwx.de/en ticks all your boxes but it handles .at (Renewal: €15.47 / 1 Year) is located in the EU (Germany) and maybe worth a look. I have all my domains there, works flawlessly.
How are you handling the WHOIS entries ant INWX? Are you paying for the privacy extension? I am looking for another registrar EU based who offers some sort of free whois privacy or respecting the GDPR and not publishing my data online.
Create a cloud flare accounts and change the name servers at you current registrars to what cloudflare gives you when you try to migrate. Its best practice to split up registrar and DNS anyway. then create an API token so your reverse proxy can build records and certbot a new cert.
Die USA wollen Grönland übernehmen. Das hat US-Präsident Trump vor einem Treffen mit Vertretern Dänemarks und Grönlands erneut deutlich gemacht. Die NATO solle "den Weg ebnen", sonst gehe die Insel an Russland oder China.
Vermutlich werden einige unter euch ihre RAM-Riegel bereits für die Altersvorsorge beiseite gelegt haben. 🙈 Falls nicht, einige unserer Standorte könnten DDR4-SO-DIMMs gebrauchen, um Laptops aufzurüsten bzw. überhaupt mit Arbeitsspeicher zu versorgen. Wenn ihr also ungenutze Speicherplatinen bei euch herumfahren habt, wir würden uns sehr über eine #Spende freuen. 🧡
Like all the best Americans, I'm Canadian, and while I have lived abroad for most of this century, I still hew faithfully to our folkways, which is why I'd like to start this essay by apologizing.
I'm sorry.
--
If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:
I'm sorry! I'm a technology writer, which means I'm supposed to be encouraging you to throw hundreds of billions of dollars at the money-losingest technology in human history, AI. No one has ever lost as much money as the AI companies.
There is no way to operate one of Nvidia's big AI-optimized GPUs without losing money.
The owners of these GPUs who have lost the *least* money are the ones who rushed into buying GPUs without ensuring they'd have electricity to power them, and have been forced to leave their GPUs to age in warehouses. The minute they plug in those GPUs, they'll start losing money, and the more they use them, the more money they'll lose.
I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not.
The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows.
I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.
I don't have any advice for how to do that. I'm sorry!
As Canada contemplates our response to the collapse of the American empire and its alliances with the world, the cornerstone of our current strategy is sacrificing our dollars, water and energy in order to become more dependent on America, in a weird and improbable bet that we will figure out how to make millions of Canadians unemployed. I'm sorry, that just doesn't sound like a great idea to me.
If I can beg your indulgence, I'd like to propose an alternative.
Back in 2012, Canada passed Bill C-11, the Copyright Modernization Act. It's a law that bans Canadian companies from modifying America's digital tech exports. We passed it because the US threatened us with tariffs:
Thanks to Bill C-11, a Canadian company can't sell jailbreaking kits for phones and consoles, which would let Canadian sellers offer goods and services to Canadian buyers outside of US app stores, sidestepping the 30% app tax that Apple, Google, Microsoft, Sony and others impose on our digital economy.
Thanks to Bill C-11, a Canadian company can't sell mechanics a universal diagnostic tool that turns every "check engine" light into a useful error message. Instead, Canadian mechanics have to send $10,000/year/manufacturer to America for a proprietary car diagnosis kit.
Thanks to Bill C-11, a Canadian company can't offer ink cartridge manufacturers software that will ensure their cartridges work in the printers Canadians buy from the American inkjet cartel. As a result, Canadians have to spend $10,000/gallon on ink, making it the most expensive fluid a Canadian civilian can purchase without a government permit.
Thanks to Bill C-11, a Canadian company can't sell our farmers software that lets them start using their tractors as soon as they've fixed them. Instead, after a Canadian farmer fixes their tractor, they have to wait for a service call from a rep for a US ag-tech monopolist who'll type an unlock code into the tractor's keyboard and charge the farmer a couple hundred bucks for this "service."
Thanks to Bill C-11, a Canadian company can't revive one of the most successful technologies in history: the home video recorder. Remember those? First we had VCRs, then we had digital successors like the Tivo. Canadian law says you're allowed to record the video that comes into your home, whether by broadcast, cable, satellite or streaming. But Bill C-11 bans a Canadian company from selling you a gadget that lets you save the video you get in an app or from a set-top box.
It's crazy: we have actually *uninvented* the VCR! You know how everyone is pissed off about their favourite shows being yanked from the streaming services? Repeal C-11 and you could just save those shows forever. Repeal C-11 and you'd kill the grinchy little racket that services like Prime pull, where Christmas cartoons are in the free tier from March to November, and cost $3.99 to watch between November and March. Just tape 'em in August and save 'em for later!
It doesn't stop there. Remember when Facebook banned all links to the news in Canada? Repeal C-11 and a Canadian company could sell you an alternative Facebook app that puts the news back into your feed! Repeat C-11 and Canadians could get an alternative app that replaces *all* the streaming services, letting you search and stream every service you have an account for in one place, mixing in Canadian content from the NFB, public broadcasters, and commercial services.
Virtually every Canadian ministry, corporation and household is locked into a US Big Tech silo. Any of these could be shut down at a single word from Trump to any of the tech giants who've lined up to do his bidding. Repeal C-11 and we can extract all our data from these walled gardens/prisons and get it onto auditable, trustworthy, transparent open source software, hosted in data-centres located safely on Canadian soil.
If there's one thing Canadians are good it, it's going to other countries and extracting their wealth. We're world champions at it.
America's tech monopolies have sequestered *trillions of dollars* worth of monopoly rents on their balance sheets. This is dead capital, being pissed up the wall on nonsense like stock buybacks and data-centres and grotesque executive bonuses.
As Jeff Bezos said to the publishers: "Your margin is my opportunity."
America's tech trillions represent a rich and readily accessible seam that we can extract - safely, from our own country! - and turn into *our* billions, and an exportable line of products that the whole world would beat a path to our door to buy.
Look, I'm sorry. I don't have any ideas for how Canada can get to a better future by lighting billions on fire in a bet on a failing technology whose dubious profitability depends on ruining our job market, our power grid and our water supply, which will tie the American political situation to our ankles.
All I've got is an idea for how we can make *insanely profitable products* that people *really want to buy*, that will insulate us from cyberattacks by US tech giants who are in thrall to Trump, and that *Americans* will pay us to use in order to free themselves from the tech giants who abuse them, too.
I'm really sorry. I know it's out of step with the times, but all I have is ideas that *make* money, make us safer, make us richer, and make our technology better.
On the other hand, those chatbots sure are cute. It's funny when they "hallucinate."
I'm really worried at how far behind we are on the digital sovereignty conversation (and action), compared with Europe because all you say here is true... I can't even find a place to contribute to that conversation.
🔴 📉 - Minneapolis, Minnesota, steht unter der Besatzung des Trump-Regimes. Mindestens 3.000 ICE-Schläger terrorisieren mittlerweile die Stadt, durchsuchen Häuser ohne Durchsuchungsbefehl und verhaften Menschen und Kinder willkürlich aufgrund ihrer Hautfarbe.
OK, 5 Euro in die Machokasse, aber nach knapp 816 km dürfen die 20er langsam an den Ruhestand denken. Sind vielleicht noch für weitere 100 gut, mehr aber auch nicht.
Die erste Runde mit den 22ern fühlte sich gut an, auch wenn das linke Schienbein merkte, dass das ne andere Sohle ist.

Literally this year the Minnesota Speaker of the House was murdered at her home when a white male MAGA sociopathic chud dressed up as a fake cop and assassinated her.
Now mere months later, MAGAs are shocked that daycare operators in Minnesota wouldn't open doors for white male MAGA chuds dressed up as fake journalists, demanding access to children.
Beyond stupidity. Just utterly indefensible stupidity.
