“dog a tuah …bedroom apartment”

better to keep track of a ton of torrents and seed the ones that go completely dead

And cache

I cant find any information that discusses the security risk. But it would seem that this transfering all content to the owner of the phone number is a standard feature.
So, maybe its not discussed because it doesn’t frequently happen.
It doesnt seem like a trustworthy way to ensure users’ content remains secure.

If someone trys to register with an existing number then it wont work if its already being used.
Im not sure on this^
Better to enable a security pin if you are concerned.
The traditional phone system involvement is annoying.

”It’s important to maintain control of this phone number."

I strongly feel that this is false.

This is what flatpak brings to the table

There are way more companies who want to text-mine user content than there are blind people using the internet to read my content.

I think ping is this: https://m.slashdot.org/story/64339

Diaspora has private groups. But many downsides.
For example… discovering people, first involves sharing with them.

If its just a game then why not run it in any old browser.
It doesnt matter much, in this case.

Not perfect:
But here are some ideas.

• reddit (tor)
• wikipedia (tor)
• certain niche direct sources (tor)

More ideal ideas:

• certain specific private source (maybe tor). Not reliable but high quality.
• large collection of raw links ( requires labor, skill. And yields imperfect results )
• searx ( mainly to share with friends and as a fallback. it is a pretty great premade metasearch engine when selfhosted)
• ready-to-go foss searchengine implementations. (Limited in scope, requires decent amount of “labor” and time. Requires setup phase and light maintaining. Extremely high quality results. Optionally invest money in various ways to supercharge. Perhaps recruit collaborators)

other stuff:

• creating private collections and bookmarks
• not using internet or using rarely or using in cautious way. Or not using www.
• focusing on distracting self with hands-on projects.

What am i actually using at this point? (Nothing is set up currently!).

• Sometimes i use tor 70% of the time. Sometimes i use tor 30% of the time.
• very frequently non www .
• duckduckgo when needed. [Often] without visiting the links
• niche sources (2, …)
• reddit

*this isnt perfect! but i think overall i think i dont spend much time traveling to websites for info.

Historically:

• searx
• searchengine
• dabble in scaling.

Future:

• selfhost
• scaling
• further isolation
• IRL
• other stuff. such as creating new solutions.

There is certainly room for immediate improvement here.
Im just lazy.

I dont need the internet as much as the internet needs me.

mastodon on a homeserver. no public posting.

thats not entirely true.

do some research

walled garden

i have heard it suggested that it could be national goverment who did this. so that means it could be israel, america, or china, etc .
i view this as potentially very well funded governments vs ordinary people. we never stood a chance.

it ha physical killswitchs. thats pretty appealing if u need that.

adb debloating is adequate.
there may be additional steps for LOS privacy.
