People love to troll Firefox. There are only 3 brower sources Google, Mozilla, and Apple. I choose Mozilla or a derivative of them.

I mostly do. 99.9% of the software I use is a Debian package. Well on Debian anyway. I do have one AppImage.

Actually I use Ting Mobile and like it. I thought they were bought out by Dish or something? Or have they changed hands again?

I did not see: Do not publish your IP address. Do not run servicies on it. Do not point DNS to it. Prefer dynamic IP that changes overtime. Encourage it to change periodically for example reboot your boundary router periodically.

Also did not see: Do not present any open ports on the internet side of your boundary router especially no administrative ones.

Edit: Disable dynamic UPNP port forwarding too.

It did not see only use routers and other network devices with auto or at least easy regular updates.

The point is a CDN is worth considering if your site cannot be down and it may be subject to high load or DDOS attacks. There are many CDNs.

If on the public internet, also consider how your going to integrate with a CDN like Cloudflair. With luck they will serve a lot of the load and provide the DDOS protection.

Kind of felt like that before I retired. IT put so much shit on my computer that it was about all it was good for. One reason I retire, feedup with the BS form IT.

The update thing started maybe 10 years ago or was it 15. Company I worked for went from terrible patching to this BS. Why something in between was not sufficient I will never know or why it cannot hot patch.

Edit: Before the company actually did serious patching worms regularly took down the whole company for days. But why they had to go from that to interrupting presentations and calls is beyond me.

Actually staff and commercial vendors are keeping Windows. Plus no one gets fired for choosing MS products. That IT staff are all Windows certified means Windows will always be the answer. That users are similarly trained and need certain Windows software will mean they demand it too.

Choose a standard domain to get best delivery. Either org. com, or net. I went for short and speakble and spellable, Then sort but not quessable names to prevent spam. For my main names I chose ones that someone that knows my name would recognice but not the other way around. This was not about privacy in my case.

If I wanted more privacy I would choose one or more random other domains for that using fairly random names. Or better yet I would choose a common mail proviider and use one of their popular domains.

Also consider how your going to host. Deciding on domain is only part of the problem.

No idea.

Obtainium.

Backup. Seedvault can backup to Nexcloud though it is experimental. I use that too but do not fully trust it.

I dump apps that allow that to main storage and just plugin my phone to my laptop and archive main storage. Then I sync apps that incude sync to Nextcloud directly. This is what I have always done even before GrapheneOS. Never used Google Drive.

Keep mind the owner profile also has a work profile too and a private space. Might run in one of those.

The are also 31 user profiles like the owner profile but they do not have private spaces.

I run Grapheneos, just been through the setup. Out of about 100 aps 7 needed play. I only actually needed 3 of those. Uber and Lyft in particular and they ran fine with it. The other was my banking app which would not work. For now I will just use my old phone on wifi to deposit checks. After that I will either put it on my wife's phone or switch institutions.

Play services my understanding is not privilaged on GrapheneOS. Usually it is.

By the way Signal does not need Play Services but it will use them if they are available.

Phone. Look at all the Google phones and divide price by years of support remaining. Best will probably a later a-series phone.

Integrity api. Graphene passes except for highest level. Who knows the future.

Personally I follow oath.vote. I gave that way last cycle and I prrobably will the next cycle.

I also interested in what Adam Kinsinger is going to do.

Finally who gives now? I only give in the year of the election. Though I might make some exceptsions.

A few hints. For the user your using to log into SFTP the .ssh director must be somthing like 700. The directories above it must be somethin like 750 or 755. This is so you ssh keys are secure.

A far as any data directories you want to access, like 755, 775, or 777, depending on what you want. Also umask setting may matter for new files.

This is not Jellyfin specific just generally how this worka.

Kind of depends. The one thing that an untrusted network may be able to do is adjust routing tables. Some systems and some VPNs may be protected from this, some may not. At least the https connections should be secure but where you're connecting can be trracked. DNS is vunerable too unless you set your browser system to use a secure connection to DNS server you trust.
