  • Meshtastic

    Jump

  • I've been experimenting with Meshtastic for about a year now, and I love it! It's currently my backup comms plan for my wife, as well as a few friends and family.

    Although, I am putting more of my hopes into the reticulum network, with the hopes that it grows in the future.

    Jump

  • The device this user mentions is the Lilygo T-Deck, and it's wonderful! It's on the pricier side of meshtastic devices, but works quite well. It's the device I've given to my friends and family in town, as it's much less hassle than trying to teach them to use a device with the app.

  • I really like this idea, I'll be stealing it.

  • Your feelings matter not for I hunger

  • My apps

    Jump

  • You can download from this site which comes from Proton directly, this Github repo, or this link which downloads the F-Droid build

  • Cosmic DE & Pop!_OS 24.04 BETA

    Jump

  • After using Autotiling from the Cosmic desktop, I can't go back to anything else. I've tried distro hopping to Gnome based desktops for a few reasons, but always wind back up on Cosmic.

  • Proton Pass can also be downloaded from Obtainium, if you'd rather go that route.

  • Best phone for the near future?

    Jump

  • Like everyone else in this thread, I would strongly recommend GrapheneOS.

    To give you a specific phone recommendation, I would suggest the Pixel 9a. At $500 before any discounts, it's the best value per dollar for a privacy oriented phone. Because it just came out earlier this year, it will also be receiving security updates for years into the future.

  • Degoogle/maximise privacy on an Android phone.

    Jump

  • Techlore has a video on Android hardening, worth a view. There are definitely possible steps to take beyond the scope of this video, but its a good place to start.

  • Meta accused of bypassing Apple’s privacy rules. Here’s how to protect yourself.

    Jump

  • The only solution is to just stop using Meta services. This will always continue to happen, because the fines Meta receives are always lower than the profit gained. Vote with your data, and move to platforms that aren't incentivized to steal it.

  • Payment privacy

    Jump

  • Coincards allows you to buy gift cards with crypto.

  • I'm Officially a Linux User!

    Jump

  • Congrats!

    As a quality of life upgrade, I'd recommended downloading the COSMIC app store. It's still made by the developers of Pop!, but is significantly better than the Pop Shop.

  • Does anyone have a Faraday bag for phone that works?

    Jump

  • I do!

    My use of a Faraday bag is more prepper oriented (i.e. solar flares) instead of geared towards privacy, but I keep a Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS, linux laptop, and eReader in a SLNT Faraday bag.

    My tests have been far from perfect, but the phone's Bluetooth and cell reception have all ceased working once put in the bag.

  • What are some tips for a job interview?

    Jump

  • Have answers prepared for some common interview questions, such as:

    • Describe a time you had conflict with a coworker, and how you handled the situation.
    • Describe a time, as a supervisor, that you had to make an unpopular or difficult decision.
    • What is your greatest strength?
    • What is your greatest weakness?
    • What is your approach to leadership?

    And so on. These are all questions that deserve a bit of thinking. Don't do that thinking in the middle of your interview.
