Lemmy world uses cloudflare, privacy respecting instances would never block tor

Mander.xyz even has an .onion hidden service

Well my approach is to sign up and use Lemmy over Tor with throwaway email (Onionmail)

BFU (before first unlock) vs AFU (After first unlock)

Basically encrypted vs decrypted

Mullvad VPN has DAITA which does something similar but more legit

I thought Pegasus was 0 click by simply recieving an SMS message

I have a w11 KVM + nvidia card, even bypassed EAC when it detected the VM and refused to start

I use my iGPU in the Linux host and it’s fine. I only game in the VM for lots of reasons. You can swap them but I don’t have experience with that

The mic if you add it in VM hardware as passthrough USB will work on your host until the guest boots then it only works on guest.

For multi monitor just try and ask if you have specific problems

One tip is setup sunshine on your VM so you can quickly jump in from any moonlight device. Looking glass Is better but only works from the host pc

Lmk if you have other questions

No JavaScript sites on onionland

I don’t know much about DAWs beyond messing around in them but I have a w11 VM with a recent nvidia card passed through (VFIO) and latency is not a concern in the slightest.

Was your experience with no graphical acceleration? It makes a world of difference. KVM/QEMU is also a good bit more performant than something like virtualbox if that’s your frame of reference

Ive been wanting a mini PC for a while now, enjoy your beelink!

This seems like a good use for a VM, no?

Is the plugin software VM hostile?

Most are staying, but there’s a growing shift to simplex among privacy/anon focused people

1. Signal uses closed source and centralized servers to deliver all your messages. Some people don’t like their communications being dependant on a corporations computer, and would rather maximize data sovereignty when possible.

2. phone number requrement is unacceptable to some people

If SimpleX makes bad choices it can be forked and self hosted, whereas we would be locked in with signal and at the compamys whims

It’s OK to stay on signal but to say no one is switching is untrue.

It was pretty small numbers before (darknet) but a youtuber called Mental outlaw did a video on it recently and now it’s exploded into the more mainstream privacy communities.

It isn’t perfect, and signal has a lot of perks but there’s no need to literally ignore new developments

Its a LOT more anonymous, not slightly.

For the overwhelming majority of users phone number alone = no anonymity, then there’s the fact you’re relying on a corporation to store all your messages on their closed source centralized server…

If you want privacy you either do graphene on a pixel (cake and eat it too), or linux phone (huge downgrade in usability and reliability)

Stock Android is not acceptable, it’s even worse than Apple.

ungoogled chromium removes this

have you considered desktop linux + grapheneOS? would be a better experience for you most likely

graphene OS. i would not have bought an android phone if i had to use google roms

when did it stop being useful?

why dont you?

theres seal on android, ive used it on waydroid but thats pretty silly

idk i think plenty of people carry expensive stuff on them

what a thief could actually get for them is another matter but clearly that doesnt stop them from trying
