I believe Asahi Linux is the flagship distro on that front. I would start your search there. I haven't used it myself so I can't speak how to how stable or polished it is, but they do seem to be putting in a lot of effort based on the headlines I've seen.

You can also get yourself ferdium and just activate integrations for messangers you use asuming they're on the list, login into those and you'll have them all active in one place. Ferdium is crossplatform, they're open source and they're forked from ferdinand which is same thing as ferdium but ferdinand was paid.

Are aliases worth it if your email provider has very strong spam filtering and good blocking features? E: never mind, just got to the security part in the video.

@pantarei. Ай бұрын

I don't fully trust that my aliases will not dissapear for no reason. For example - SL or AA can remove your account with no warnig at all - that's what they say in their services policy. It is always easier to log in or recover an account in any web site if you remember your login email. Any email aliases service complicates your life for questionable benefits. Things that are easy to find out: 1. Your alias provider if you use their domain (SL, AA, etc.) 2. Your name and provider of your custom domain (if you use one). I'm not sure if it is possible to check the provider of your email if you use custom domain with Tuta or Proton. You can't escape profilig completely. And for avoiding spam - spam filter and rules should be enough, especially if you use Gmail. The only serious reason to use these services is to keep your main email address in secret and never give it to anybody, so if someone wanted to hack your email account - it would be more hard to. But if you use SL, it's gonna be quite likely that you use Proton. But if you use Proton with Proton aliases - it doesn't make sense at all, as all aliases can be used to log in to your account. My advice - have a bunch of free emails, secure them by 2FA (I prefer combination of one ybikey and Aegis app) and use them for different purposes. That's the best way to keep things in the right order and make your life less complicated.

You said there is a "New" option on top on GPG for Mac. I couldn't find any option to create a message and encrypt it. How do I encrypt and decrypt a plain text message without creating a file?

@TheNewOil Ай бұрын

Unfortunately I'm currently without a Mac and this video is almost two years old. I'm not sure what may have changed in the graphical interface since this was made, and I don't have a Mac at the moment to go test it myself. I recommend checking the software's website for any tutorials or maybe some forums where you can go ask other users. I wish I could be more helpful. :(

These systems are specifically built for Linux, not Windows, so I fail to see the issue. I own a couple of System76 systems and have run multiple distros of Linux without issue. Seems, given the lack of computer knowledge I’m hearing, the problem is user error. My relatively new HP runs Windows pretty well, but has some issues with Linux, which is fine because the HP is not built for Linux. That’s just the nature of the technology atm; get the proper hardware for the target OS.

If you are crashing Windows, you are doing a lot wrong. Are you screwing around with Linux?

I think that the "Computers" folder on the web app is for custom folders synced via the "Backup" feature, stored separately from files you directly save to Proton Drive's own "My Files" directory it created on the PC. And I think this is a good way to handle things. It's less confusing & less messy than just dumping all the backed up "Downloads" and "Documents" folders from various PCs into the main folder. So files will still be synced, but best way to do it is to create a folder structure within Proton's own "My Files" folder instead of just saving to the folders backed up using Proton Drive's "Back up" feature mainly intended for backups.

i find a good option is to have a browser for PWA's and another browser for daily use so you don't get contaminated history

@dominki 2 ай бұрын

A small sidenote about PWAs on Android, most browsers don't "properly" support installing PWAs via WebAPK (only supported browsers currently are Chrome (if you have play services) and Samsung browser (on Samsung phones)). Other browsers might realize that its a PWA and say install but they just create a shortcut with some caching (shortcuts have a small icon of the browser next to it + don't show up in the app drawer or the settings > PWAs installed via WebAPK do), so that might be a reason why you didn't have the greatest experience with them on Android

@DrakenBlackknight 2 ай бұрын

You're better off installing dedicated browsers for PWAs. For example, regular Brave is my default "browsing" browser with regular Vivaldi as my backup. Another factor is whether or not you want your stuff compartmentalized. For example, I have one PWA running in regular Firefox, another PWA running in Firefox Beta, another running in Firefox Nightly, another running in Fennec...you see where this is going (the Gecko-based browsers support uBlock Origin). To further play around with this, I'd recommend downloading the browsers from FFUpdater.

Thank you for the video, very helpful. At the end you said not to use PGP with existing providers such as GMail & Yahoo Mail. Which secure email provider do you recommend we use? Countermail seems like the ONLY truly private, secure provider on the market today; however, it's only open to newcomers via an invite code from an existing user. What alternative email providers do you recommend, please? Thanks! 👍🏻

5:03 if I were to sign up with an email alias & for some reason i delete the alias, does my Bitwarden account stay with the main email the email alias forwards to or does it delete & i have to make a whole new Bitwarden account? 🤔 Edit: Also, would applying a bitwarden extension to my browser be of the same risk as using browser autofill?

@TheNewOil 2 ай бұрын

You would continue to be able to log in with your existing alias email address, however you would not receive any email notifications from Bitwarden (such as reminders to renew your subscription, for example). You can also change your email in the settings, so if you decide to change or delete your alias email, I would recommend going into Bitwarden and updating the account email to ensure you never miss any important news. They're extremely good about not spamming, I almost never get any emails from them. It depends on the risk you're talking about. If you mean the risk of password-stealing malware, to be honest I'm not 100% sure. The safest thing is to set your vault to lock after a certain amount of inactive time - 15 minutes, for example. That would definitely help a lot. I would have to do more research to know if the extension has any additional safety by default aside from that.

It would have been more impactful to share specific examples. Right now this gives me FUD vibes. I could believe that it's happening with some sketchy providers, but let's see a source. Quoting: "[...] none of them do that" - I asked my provider (easyoptouts) for their process and felt comfortable it was very appropriate and opposite to what this individual is claiming.
