just out of curiosity, would a nuke blow up most of the mines? like 90% or more?

maybe it’s hard to know, but this is just a thought experiment

the service normally does not require registration or login, neither any kind of payment, and they don’t run ads.
however, their public instance, meet.jit.si, got restricted a year or so ago because apparently bad people were using it for bad reasons. now a single participant is required to log in with a google account or something else they offer.

there were also many public instances. but soon a lot of them closed too, and the public lists have disappeared, so I believe jitsi did not do what they did out of data hunger.
there’s still a few that doesn’t require any kind of account, if you’re interested I can send a link in PM. It’s better if you don’t publish it either.

oh and if it tells anything. if you have heard about matrix.org, they were using jitsi for calls for a long time. they have switched to an in-house solution to have better platform integration, but it was fine

I love the or in this sentence

here’s my newest invention, zero knowledge location privacy without snarks.

if the burner phone is a cheap smartphone, it could still be helpful

who? you have opened the comment section

yeah they are pretty good apps! basically a must-have for protests, if you bring a smartphone. maybe for traveling too, in case it’s stolen

so this is a restart-on-schedule feature that can skip a restart on certain conditions

depends on your phone. at first encryption was done in an all-or-nothing style, so system startup couldn’t complete without a first unlock. then android started using file based encryption, which was used selectively, encrypting certain things so that they are accessible without an unlock.

the best way to figure it out is to set a new alarm 10 minutes from now, reboot your phone manually, and see whether the alarm goes off

samsung devices are still a different beast, they have their unique little everything and the standard tools don’t work there

that makes me think that it’s a different feature, and it reboots the phone every x hours regardless if it was unlocked

speaking of that.

this can wipe your phone on a trigger, or lock it with a different code, or send a broadcast message that other apps can act on: Wasted (Lock a device and wipe its data on emergency) https://f-droid.org/packages/me.lucky.wasted/

this reads the screen to see if you have used a special unlock code: Duress (Duress password trigger) https://f-droid.org/packages/me.lucky.duress/

read the app description of both, there’s important information
