The inter-financial/promotional capitalistic circle jerk by vendors promoting substandard privacy and security products in this space appalls me. It's the worst kind of human centipedal behaviour as they voluntarily swallow and regurgitate claims for each other to build SEO etc

First they came for the GPUs. Now they come for the RAM. And in the end, the only one who loses is the consumer. You don't need a GPU, but everything needs RAM. Source: camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0DN... #hardware #ram #gpu #pc

Recently finished listening to this interview. Fantastic job @metroplex.bot ! Whether you've used GrapheneOS for years or are thinking about trying it, it's a must-watch/listen. #GrapheneOS #android #privacy #security www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUEt...

Tonight at 6PM CDT (11PM UTC) I'll be doing a live stream on the "All Things Secured" YouTube channel. The topic will be GrapheneOS/secure mobile setup. Here's the link to the stream - www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkKx.... Hope to see you there! #GrapheneOS #privacy #security #mobile

Doesn't get much better than that!

If your account holds your contacts, calendar, passwords, files, and email, you're SOL if it gets disabled. Diversify and keep offline backups. If it’s someone else’s computer, it’s not yours. #proton #privacy #security #email

Most people think they need to prepare for a sophisticated software attack, but your biggest risk is your habits. Exploiting people is often the easiest way in. Anyone can fall for phishing, it’s happened to me. #privacy #security #phishing #npm krebsonsecurity.com/2025/09/18-p...

3 things I learned migrating from Docker Swarm to K3s: - Complex setup, but easier management - Infrastructure as Code. Use Ansible. - Better config and secrets management. Bonus - The larger the community, the easier troubleshooting is. #kubernetes #k3s #ansible #linux #docker

The GrapheneOS dev team are in the boiler room and stoking the fires for full ahead porting to Android 16 with it's release today. Please feel free to help fund the fuel for this titanic test and formidable feat for you below... grapheneos.org/donate

I've been using KeePass for ~5 months and it's been great. #grapheneos #opensource #selfhosting #passwordmanager

Making an image of the drive, gotta keep it cool. The A+ course didn't have this in it years ago, but maybe they suggest it now. #selfhosting #linux #ssd #nvme

Reminder to go through the apps on your phone & computer. Don’t use it? Delete it. Installed it and forgot (that’s me)? Delete it. Too distracting? Delete it. Curious? I made a page with the apps I use — sideofburritos.com/docs/setup-g... #android #grapheneos #selfhosting #security #privacy

Okay Bluesky Tech, let's see if you can do this before X. Can you help either personally or connect parties who can with us? Reach out please or repost and get the word out, it all helps. Let's make it a Bluesky success story!

We need an Android OEM or someone working at one to provide us with early access to the Android 16 sources in order to have a smooth port this year. We need this before June. We requested it to help with this very difficult situation and still need it. bsky.app/profile/grap...

I wanted to create a VLAN to keep my Mastodon server separate from my LAN. Two days later, I now have 8 VLANs. I think I have a problem. #opnsense #unifi #selfhosting #linux #security #privacy

For the past 10+ years I've been using ZFS (FreeNAS/TrueNAS). For some reason, I only recently started using snapshots…THEY ARE AMAZING. So this is your reminder that if you're using ZFS, use snapshots. #TrueNAS #selfhosting #nas

Awesome! 25Gbps 👏👏👏👏

Android has always taken the approach of it being developed in private and then having the full sources and commit history published for each stable release. This approach used to be the norm for open source software many years ago, but now most projects do a lot of their development in the open.

👏👏👏👏👏

In just Q1 2025 GrapheneOS have implemented the following features: ▫️Network Based Location Service ▫️Hardware Virtualization. What will the rest of the year bring?

I was tuning some cache headers and had questions. I checked the usual—Stack Overflow, blogs, AI—but they all disagreed. Then I remembered: the best source is to RTFM! Aka, read the RFCs. RFCs are your friend (and the OG source of truth) — datatracker.ietf.org #rfc7232 #rfc #sysadmin #linux #caddy

I've de-googled my Pixel 8. Ironically the Google Pixel is the easiest phone to de-google with GrapheneOS

New rule: if something takes over 5 minutes to figure out, you should document it. I spent ~10 min figuring out how to SCP a file from a machine on fly.io. It takes extra time now, but your future self will thank you. Much easier than searching your bash history. #linux #scp #backups #flyio

Maybe you don't care about privacy, fine. But it's also possible that there are some industries you would prefer your data (photos/videos) not being used for. techcrunch.com/2025/02/04/g... #privacy #ai #google #security

You served well HDD 🫡. For a while now, I've been thinking that going with RAID-Z2 was a waste of space. But while I'm waiting for the warranty replacement with a degraded pool, I couldn't be happier with my choice. #storage #truenas #selfhosting

I've been self-hosting Bitwarden for over a year. However, there's a critical feature missing from its 'Export Vault' functionality that could cause you to lose data—whether you're self-hosting or using the SaaS version. #bitwarden #selfhosting #backup

How do you store your phone's calendar/contacts? I can't natively do a poll on here, so comment down below. 1. Local only (on-device) 2. Self-hosted (Nextcloud/EteSync) 3. Paid hosting (Nextcloud/EteSync) 4. Other (comment below) #grapheneos #nextcloud #etesync #selfhosted #android #iphone

Our 2-factor fingerprint unlock feature is now fully implemented and will be available in the upcoming GrapheneOS release. This adds the option to set a PIN for using fingerprint unlock. You can use a strong diceware passphrase as the primary unlock method with fingerprint+PIN secondary unlock.

I’m not a fan of generic block pages for VPN users. It smells like 'security through obscurity,' which I don’t support—and it likely creates more support tickets for them. One of my banks redirects you to the login page when you try to log in without explanation. #vpn #privacy #security #sysadmin

If you use SSH in your daily life, make a habit of using `screen` Start a new screen session: screen Start a named session: screen -S session_name List active sessions: screen -ls Attach to a session: screen -r session_name Detach from a session: Ctrl+A, D #linux #terminal #ubuntu #ssh

Has anyone here ever migrated from Bitwarden to KeePass*? How are you handling syncing between devices, specifically desktop/mobile? Any regrets? #privacy #security #bitwarden #keepass #android
