yes. use any of the following, in no particular order:
- ecosia.org - A non-profit certified B corp that plants trees by serving ads in your search results. Bing search underneath.
- duckduckgo.com - A privacy friendly search engine. Primarily sourced from Bing but mixes in a few other sources.
- any SearXNG instance - A self-hostable search front-end to various search engines.
- marginalia.nu - specifically 'random' - An independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed.
I really tried making Logseq work for me but even if they added some kind of organization/hierarchy, I still had performance issues with my limited notes (just testing things, didn't want to go all the way in), and various copy/paste drag and drop UX issues that made the experience frustrating.
I was previously using Obsidian, which is great! but didn't like that it was closed source. I then went on to try various options [0] but none of them felt "right". I eventually found notesnook and it hit everything I was looking for [1]. It's only gotten better in the last year I started using it and just recently they introduced the ability to host your own sync server, which is one of the requirements it didn't initially make, but was on their roadmap.
[0] Obsidian, Standard Notes, OneDrive, VSCode with addons, Joplin, Google Keep, Simple Notes, Crypt.ee, CryptPad (more of a collabroation suite, which I actually really like, but it did not fit the bill of a notes app), vim with addons, Logseq, Zettlr, etc.
[1] Requirements in no particular order:
- Open source client and server.
- Cross-platform availability as I use Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android.
- Cross-platform feature parity.
- Doesn't fight me over how notes should be taken - looking at Logseq's lack of organization.
- Easy notes syncing.
- End-to-end encryption (E2EE). It's about to be 2025, if the tools you're picking up aren't E2EE, you're letting unknown strangers access your data and resell it. It doesn't matter what their privacy policy says as that can always change and/or they can get compromised/compelled to expose your data.
- Ability to publish notes.
- Decent UX.

Soooo.... I've never had this issue on any other phone before. Is it normal to get condensation inside the camera lense (wide angle and telephoto)?
it's dried out now, but I can see spots on the inside of the lense now that the water is gone, I can only imagine this getting worse over time, affecting quality. is this worth an RMA?
can you post a link to this rule?
and it's only gonna get worse around the world 🤠

while true, that doesn't mean that it isn't compromised but not hackable yet, or that a weakness won't be found in the future. I would heed the advice of those in the field of cryptography and stay away from Telegram and MProto
lets not forget AI was trained on human data. some people will "sound like AI" because they likely make up a big portion of its demographic training data.
From the POV of someone who's never used a bidet, you come off like someone who was just looking for conflict.
“Responsible” and “Bitcoin” is an oxymoron due to the inherent multi-level marketing pyramid/Ponzi scheme aspect of crypto“currencies”.
First, you're removing the next two words "financial diversification" from the statement. Your own personal opinions and emotions aside, financial diversification is not a bad idea. It's all about percentages and risk calculations. I would agree with you if they went "all in" on crypto, but they didn't say that.
Second, you're lumping in bad people with good tech that has solved a very specific problem - the ability to transfer funds without relying on a central bank or authority. Is email bad because the majority is spam? No. Is the internet bad because the dark web exists and thousands if not millions of crimes are being carried out on it? No. Are encrypted messengers bad because they allow criminals to send message? No. Same concept here. There can exist a good technology that gets abused by bad people.
“Money corrupts; bitcoin corrupts absolutely.
You can stop at "money corrupts". bitcoin is money and money corrupts.
Disregarding all of bitcoin's shortcomings, a financial instrument that brings out the worst in people—greed—won't change the world for the better.”
Disregarding all of the U.S. Dollar's shortcomings[1], a financial instrument that brings out the worst in people—greed—won't change the world for the better.”
Fixed it for you.

Do you disagree with their reason?
Responsible financial diversification requires holding some assets outside of the traditional government controlled banking system.
They didn't say they were going all in. They aren't continuously promoting - at least not that I'm aware. They were just being open and honest about how they're handling their finances.
container tabs don't just isolate but also give you the option to have multiple profiles without having to log in + out of websites. if you don't need that feature, then probably.
Because everything in Signal is end-to-end encrypted by default, the broad set of personal information that is typically easy to retrieve in other apps simply doesn’t exist on Signal’s servers.
Imagine saying that without a hint of irony after Snowden revelations
Funny enough, "Edward Snowden has reiterated his faith in the Signal app by saying that he uses it every day." - published 2021.
I’m going to stop replying to you here because I’ve said all there is to say on the issue and we’re just going in circles.
Same here, lets end this amicably and find common ground. I think we're both pushing for what we believe is best in attempts to guide people towards a secure platform, can we both at least agree that SimpleX is superior under more threat models compared to other messengers, even if it does have a few UX issues it needs fix?
Matrix doesn’t harvest metadata like phone numbers by design while Signal does.
You're right, Matrix doesn't ask for a phone number but it damn sure leaks metadata like a sieve. Unless things have significantly changed in the last year, here's a list of things Matrix can see about you in an encrypted room, that an app like Signal cannot:
- Your content
- Your username
- Your display name
- Your avatar
- Your rank within the room (admin, moderator, etc)
- The Sent date of every message
- A link to every message you responded to (the contents of which are encrypted)
- Every emoji reaction you send, and to which message
- (If on your home server) your IP address
- The room content
- The room name
- The room icon
- The room description
- The room membership
- Your changes
- The time and message ID of messages you edit
- The time and message ID of messages you delete
- A history of rank changes (promotions, demotions) and who changes your rank
- A history of things you do to other users, if appropriate
- Room changes
- Who enters the room and when
- Who leaves the room and when
- Who gets promoted/demoted and when
- Changes to the room name, avatar, description, etc - when they happened-
I love how I’ve addressed this numerous times but you’re still unable to understand the difference. Trusting that the protocol works correctly is different from trusting people operating a server. Clearly this is a concept that is beyond your comprehension.
I clearly understand the difference, what you fail to address is that at the end of the day you are placing your trust in a third party, whether its the code, the protocols or a back-end server. Matrix removes the server if you host your own and never interact with other instances, but otherwise, you're still trusting the code and the protocols and that - as I've pointed out above - that what you're recommending isn't already leaking tons of data. And don't get it twisted, I'm ROOTING for Matrix, it just has a long way to go to address issues that Signal clearly identified early on would hold back the platform (federation + third party clients).

I know what you're talking about but you don't want to bring it up because its all tinfoil hat wearing flat-earth conspiracy theory web of poorly connected dots. Your response is the MAGA equivalent of "do your research". I've done my research. The onus is on you to bring forth the evidence. To quote Carl Sagan, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". Don't try and connect dots that don't back up your claim and stand proud behind what's at best poorly thought out misinformation.

I know this works if I have, for example:
movies/ - movie1 - 1080p.mkv - movie1 - 2160p.mkv
but what if I have:
movies/ - movie1 - 1080p.mkv movies2/ - movie1 - 2160p.mkv
Because I'm out of space on the driver under "movies". Do I need to have them in the same parent folder?

Why is it that so many companies that rely on monetizing the data of their users seem to be extremely hot on AI? If you ask Signal president Meredith
> Why is it that so many companies that rely on monetizing the data of their users seem to be extremely hot on AI? If you ask Signal president Meredith Whittaker (and I did), she’ll tell you it’s simply because “AI is a surveillance technology.”
but before I do, I figured I'd ask if anyone's aware of any tools/software that covers my basic needs of setting something basic that may alert me if there are any intruders in the network?
Needs:
- Fake ssh login that can trigger a script so I can take care of the rest.
- Fake network share (cifs/samba) that can trigger a script if anything tries to access it.
Would be great if there are any docker images I can just pull, make some minor edits, and run.
Thanks!
Just found this today and thought I'd share.

One feature of apps such as iMessage and WhatsApp is that your texts or voice calls are scrambled and private from everyone.
With end-to-end encrypted technology, no one but you and the intended recipients can know what you wrote or said — not hackers, the app companies or the police.
Except, not everything is end-to-end encrypted in end-to-end encrypted apps.
That could mean what you type in chats are saved on company computers that corporations such as Apple or your phone provider could read. Details such as the timestamps of every text to your boyfriend might not be under lock and key, either.
That’s not necessarily bad. Each end-to-end encryption choice has trade-offs. More privacy and security could also make it harder for you to use an app, or can shield activity of terrorists and child predators.
The mess I’m describing — end-to-end encryption but with certain exceptions — may be a healthy balance of your privacy and our safety.
The problem is it’s confusing to know what is encrypted and secret in communications apps, what is not and why it might matter to you.
To illuminate the nuances, I broke down five questions about end-to-end encryption for five communications apps.
Is the content of every message automatically end-to-end encrypted?
-
WhatsApp: Yes
-
Apple’s Messages: No
-
Messages by Google: No
-
Meta Messenger: No
-
Signal: Yes
The biggest encryption caveat is for the built-in texting apps on iPhones and most Android phones in the United States. Those are Apple’s Messages app, also known as iMessage, and the Messages by Google app.
If you use Apple’s app, texts that you send and receive are only end-to-end encrypted if everyone else in the chat is using that app.
If the text you see is in blue, the contents of messages are end-to-end encrypted for everyone in the chat.
Even if Apple wanted to read your texts, it doesn’t have a key to unscramble those messages. (There’s a caveat in the next section about backup copies.)
But the dreaded green bubbles are Apple’s warning. If you’re in a group chat with three people using Apple’s chat app and one person on an Android phone, no one’s texts are end-to-end encrypted.
Each of your mobile phone providers might save every word of your communications. Those companies could, in theory, read your messages, lose them to thieves or hand them over to police with valid legal orders.
Google’s chat app has the same encryption loophole. (For most people in the United States, Messages by Google is the standard texting app on Android phones.)
Your texts in Google’s chat app are only end-to-end encrypted if everyone else is using that app.
Google shows if your texts are end-to-end encrypted with signs such as a lock icon under texts and another on the send button.
Are backup copies of your messages automatically encrypted, with no option for the app company to unscramble them?
-
WhatsApp: Yes
-
Apple’s Messages: No
-
Messages by Google: Yes*
-
Meta Messenger: No
-
Signal: Yes
WhatsApp and Signal don’t let you save copies of your texts or call logs to the app makers’ computers.
That means they don’t have saved message copies in a cloud that crooks could break into.
But if you buy a new phone and forget your password, WhatsApp and Signal can’t really help you transfer all your old texts.
If you back up copies from Apple’s chat app and Meta Messenger, the companies have the keys to unscramble what’s written in encrypted chat copies. Again, these unscrambled text copies can help in criminal investigations or they could be stolen or misused.
Apple recently introduced a choice to fully end-to-end encrypt backup copies of iCloud accounts, which means not even Apple could unlock your scrambled backup texts.
If you pick that option, Apple can’t help recover your chats if you forget your account password.
This risk is why Apple makes this feature a pain to turn on, and requires you to list a plan B if you forget your password, such as a personal contact who knows your decryption code.
WhatsApp has an option to save backup copies of your messages to Apple’s or Google’s cloud. WhatsApp doesn’t save those backups.
For Messages by Google, the company says chats backed up to the company’s computers are automatically encrypted – as long as your Android phone has a screen that you need to unlock with a password or another method.
Google gets an asterisk because it says it cannot unscramble your backup texts in its cloud. But it can for attachments like photos.
Meta Messenger has been testing an option for people to turn on fully end-to-end encrypted backups.
Does the app save your account details in a way it can access?
-
WhatsApp: Yes
-
Apple’s Messages: Yes
-
Messages by Google: Yes
-
Meta Messenger: Yes
-
Signal: Yes*
Most end-to-end encrypted apps save some “metadata,” or details about you or what you do with the app. They can retrieve the metadata if necessary.
The app companies aren’t necessarily specific about which metadata they save and can unlock. This information can make you less private– and it can help in criminal prosecutions.
WhatsApp, for example, may have your general physical location when you use the app and the names of your group chats. Under legal orders, WhatsApp has the ability to log the phone numbers your number communicates with.
WhatsApp says these details can help identify spammers and aid in investigations of potential criminal activity including people who share images of child sexual abuse.
Signal is a yes with an asterisk because it doesn’t save much the app can retrieve – just a phone number used to set up an account and the last time the account connected to Signal.
Are disappearing messages an option?
-
WhatsApp: Yes
-
Apple’s Messages: No
-
Messages by Google: No
-
Meta Messenger: Yes
-
Signal: Yes
Even with end-to-end encrypted texts, someone on the receiving end could leak them or turn them into the police.
For extra privacy, WhatsApp, Meta Messenger, and Signal have an option to set texts to automatically delete in as little as 24 hours from the phones of everyone in a chat.
This isn’t ironclad, either. Someone could take a photo of your messages before they disappear.
Does the app use the Signal protocol?
-
WhatsApp: Yes
-
Apple’s Messages: No
-
Messages by Google: Yes
-
Meta Messenger: Yes
-
Signal: Yes
The Signal protocol is considered a gold standard. No one yet has found holes in the end-to-end encryption technology.
