Vega

The name “lineage” is because it’s a “descendant” of cyanogenmod, not because it’s intended for older phones

It’s not just paranoid, it’s totally toxic and aggressive. He attacked and verbally abused dozen of different project for naive reasons, and spread FUD and slanders about other developers and projects

Litterally one of the most famous tech guy on the web and one of the most influential voice of the “repair yourself” movement, on the internet for years

Those are what I use 😁. You can check here for some trusted repo https://t.me/fdroid_repos

Exactly

I’m conflicted about sponsorblock, I usually hate youtuber sponsor (since those are usually scam) but I don’t know if there is a more ethical way to earn money from ads, since donations aren’t usually enough

Phones in India can be bought for near 50$, and that provide everything a common citizen (and I mean mandatory government app and messaging) need. And 50$ still isn’t cheap for most of the population. It’s a totally different economy than usa

I miss those comics. I know the author is a shitty human, but his strips were great

Millions of people in the world don’t know to have a choice or even can’t stop using google products. Google has a near monopoly and it isn’t just something you can totally evade

You’re right, I’m dumb. Nextcloud has a e2e plugin, but you have to lose a lot of functionality, and I still think it isn’t worth it if you host your own instance

DivestOS developer (yep, just one guy) is awesome. Give it a try when you have time

Mmm… I still think you mean server side: if someone seize your server shouldn’t be able to read your file. If someone have physical access to your server while it is still turn on and not rebooted, it will have access to your files even with e2e turned on. E2e encrypt data while it is transfered from client to server (in case of nextcloud)

If physical security concern you, you should encrypt your disk, but e2e isn’t really useful if you host your instance and use a VPN to connect (it’s not necessary even if you trust the 3rd party that host your data, actually)

I thank you for your effort in this post, and I appreciate anyone who try to give real and complete answer to this kind of question, but I’d like to point out that madaidan “guides” aren’t reliable, and shouldn’t be linked as useful source of information, since he usually just spread FUD. Nothing he even wrote is actually useful to real users and common people, and even if I understand he know what he’s talking about this doesn’t mean his interpretation is correct. Security isn’t absolute, and safety from any ideal danger that at this time no one even know how to exploit shouldn’t be the ultimate goal for everyone. Sorry for my bad English, I hope I made myself clear

I really don’t understand all those posts: I use nginx, apparmor, partially even modsecurity, I use collabora office official debian package, face recognition, email, update regularly (waiting for major upgrades for every app I use to be updated), etc. and literally never had a problem in the last 5 years except for my own experiment. True, only 5 people use my instance, but Nextcloud is rock solid for me

Ublock is awesome, but it can’t block first party from analyze, sell and use your data for anything out of your control. Use a fake account, a VPN and/or tor browser to isolate your identities. Stopping ads isn’t enough to stop exploitation of your data

You can set gestures on spacebar to delete whole word. This is why I say anysoft need a lot of time, because probably your needs are already fulfilled, but find the option is an ordeal

Yes, it is possible, but it’s hard to find the option. Here an answer on GitHub https://github.com/AnySoftKeyboard/AnySoftKeyboard/issues/1524

AnySoftKeyboard, I use it and love it, but it need a lot of time to be configured exactly like you want
