Maximizing privacy on Android without custom ROMs?
  • disable Google Play Services and the Google Play Store. And that will help a lot. And if you still need apps from the Google Store, you can use the Aurora Store from f-droid

    Edit: you may also want to look into controld.com since their free dns blocks known malware, ads, and trackers. They have several options including standard DNS, DNS over HTTPS, and DNS over TLS, and Android supports DNS over TLS. So you can use it directly.

    German police raid Tor-linked group in bid to uncover Tor network users
  • Interesting information, although I'm not the one best suited to process it, I would recommend you posting this to something like the skepticism Sunday threads on !monero@monero.town. If it truly has been broken, they are managing to keep it very quiet. And if it has been broken, then there's a good chance that the vast majority of encryption has also been broken, such as HTTPS.

    What nodes should Mysu use by default?
  • Add cake wallet nodes, sethforprivacy, monerujo clearnet (as it already appears to have monerujo i2p/onion). Using nodes directly from Monero fail probably is not a great idea because we already know that blockchain surveillance companies are running nodes that they leave RPC open for hapless wallets to connect to as demonstrated by the recently leaked video.

    German police raid Tor-linked group in bid to uncover Tor network users
  • As annoying as it is not being able to really exit to a main internet from I2P, I think they have the right idea by not allowing exits. Though it does most definitely have an impact on how many people are able to use it.

    How to privatize Apples Siri assistant?
  • Okay, I knew about home assistant, but was not aware that it was a voice assistant, like Siri or the Google assistant. I just figured it was an app-based thing to control devices (similar to the google home app).

    How to privatize Apples Siri assistant?
  • You can't. The only way to use these assistants is not to use them. "More private" does NOT equal "private". Either do not use them at all or be conscious of the fact that you will not be private while using it.

    Edit: mycroft maybe the only exception to that and that's only because it's open source and according to what most people think of as a digital assistant would not be ready.

    Litecoin Wallet Funds Go Missing
  • Sounds like you are using a custodial wallet. And things like that happen all the time with custodial wallets. Count this as a lesson learned. Not your keys, not your crypto. Also, do keep in mind that blockchains such as that are completely transparent, so any money you send or receive over it can be looked at any time in the future. If that does not sound appealing to you, I would take a look at Monero and cake wallet.

    Add nostr support to read/write to relays in wallets such as Cake, Feather, Monerujo, GUI, etc

    Signup:

    1. Wallet generates nostr npub and nsec (and stresses hard to the user to keep it safe since it is the most valuable piece of information they will ever own)
    2. Wallet generates a polyseed
    3. Wallet encrypts seed and publishes it to say 10 nostr relays

    Login:

    1. User enters nsec or uses an auth app such as Amber
    2. Wallet reads all notes to get the encrypted seed
    3. Once found the wallet discards all notes that are not encrypted seeds
    4. If only one encrypted seed is found, it is used. Otherwise, a list is shown to the user and they can choose which one to use.
    5. Syncs wallet and use as we do today

    I see three existential cons with this.

    1. Loss or theft (possibly by physical force)
    2. The encryption algorithm turns out to be flawed.
    3. Quantum computers break encryption.

    This also would have privacy implications since if other applications start using it that could basically turn your npub into a public digital ID (ala worldcoin/social credit score). Sure, each application may use encrypted data, but somebody would still know that you use a ride-sharing application, or a Monero wallet, etc. And what times you use them at (at least for interactive apps such as rideshare/websites).
