They only realized that when he said that? What a weird infosec team. I guess they also could use SimpleX if they wanted the most secure, private and anonymous option, but I think Signal is pretty well balanced as a messenger. Good privacy and usability.

I don't know. I primarily use Mull on android because it is a hardened version of Firefox. No issues with it so far.

It's nice and all but usage of Swift is kind of not great.

XMPP could have been great if it weren't left to die. The clients look like from the 2000s and encryption is a mess to set up. We instead have Matrix, which is pretty resource intensive to run and has its own problems but it practically functions like XMPP.

Surprised that happened. Very rare to see that these days.

Alright. You do you, pal.

That strikes me as a terrible idea given what some people search on the web. I have also never run a TOR exit node.

It is somewhat like a TOR exit node indeed. Though you can easily prove your innocence by saying that you did not make these searches but that you merely run a meta search engine that helps others protect their privacy. Even the TOR project has templates for exit nodes to submit them to the government or whoever is contacting them in those cases.

The instance's IP

Long brainstorming sessions on how to implement my next Lemmy bot.

SearXNG is a meta search engine, which means it gets the search results from other search engines (Google, Bing, Qwant, etc.) and show them to you. It acts a proxy, thus hiding the users IP. This means Google can't target ads based on your IP and also can't make a profile about you.

I am not so sure about that. DDG has been caught tracking before. I wouldn't trust them. They are also getting into AI bs.

Arch Linux

Gaming has not been a problem for me yet.

Proton works pretty good and games in Steam are starting to release builds for Linux as well because Steam Deck got popular (thanks Valve?) Minecraft Java also runs natively on Linux.

I do wonder why anyone would use Edge on Linux. I even wonder why anyone would even use Edge. Btw DDG uses Bing so you use the same search engine.

5 euros a month for 300 searches. Definitely not worth it. I live in germany.

I refuse to believe Proton when they do advertisements lol. They also are being pretty suspicious with ignoring XMR support since years of people requesting it. If they ever even considered it a bit, their new shit Proton Wallet wouldn't allow you to store (or only store) bitcoin, which we all know has nothing that protects your privacy.

Firefox's sandboxing sucks ass (especially on Linux). Mozilla has still not implemented a better sandbox, despite the open discussion since years. GrapheneOS (a security and privacy focused aosp rom) uses Chromium for its browser Vanadium because it ultimately is undoubtedly more secure. Google pumps millions into their chrome security team.

So while not that good for privacy, chrome/chromium is better for security.

Why not run an SearXNG instance and help everyone instead? Y'know, Kagi is pretty expensive and they are also getting into AI shit.

If that were to happen, the receiving end wouldn't know who sent which vote, thus making spamming extremely easy.

Yeah.

Not sure if that is effective at all. Why would a crawler check the robots.txt if it's programmed to ignore it anyways?
