Don’t brag about your wankin extensions unless you’re willing to share bro

Well crap. Genuinely sorry to hear that.

Having a rarely used account is still supporting them

Tuta cancelled my free account because their automated system detected fraud. This occurred after 24 hours of updating my contacts within Tuta and signing up for some services. I appealed and they only apologized for the inconvenience but kept the account closed.

Other people have posted similar stories but after a YEAR of use their email randomly because inaccessible. So Tuta isn’t a viable alternative for me as a Proton user.

I don’t know how anyone can say this with a straight face.

I have been using folding phones exclusively for years and they are excellent.

It isn’t for everyone, but they are really good for many people.

Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency worth watching

I think you mean Tim Apple

I had this mindset until signing up with a bank that only uses its app for 2FA of any kind. No SMS option. No TOTP code option. So anytime you log in using a a mobile or desktop browser it would require opening the mobile app (running google play services OR having an iPhone).

The only option I found to keep using this bank was to disable 2FA entirely.

Which is dumb.

But it was related to using a bank in a new country on GrapheneOS and Aurora Store version not fully working without Play Services and it turns out all banks suck here and not worth changing banks and there’s not much money in this account anyway so just…sigh.

“Just get everyone in your life to move to ______ and that will solve all your problems”

A suggestion as old as time

I used this example on my parents. They asked, “Why would there be a camera in my bathroom?” I’m not sure if they ever connected the dots to this day.

Calendula is FOSS and very good. I liked it so much I donated.

What does this mean for Tuta and Proton?

It’s not that crazy. Do you wipe your phone every time you travel? It’s the most secure but least convenient option.

I use Dawarich on my server and Colota as the app on my phones. It is quite good but has some minor shortcomings with multiple devices and being able to see previous routes ONLY FOR THE ACCOUNT YOU’RE LOGGED INTO (so not family member phones) but is fine for live location for all devices. Also you use a browser to track location instead of an app which is a minor annoyance.

I had been using Traccar and liked that but after moving to GrapheneOS, the Traccar client would not stay running in background.

I tried FMD-FOSS and couldn’t get it to fully work. This serves a different purpose than those listed above and I ended up not really needing it.

I tried all of the other popular options and even linking one to Nextcloud and didn’t care for them or couldn’t get them to work. Reitti and GPS Logger worked but I prefer Dawarich and Colota.

Nice. I’d like to change Linux distros on my server but the main thing holding me back was all my containers, sidecars, reverse proxies, etc. If I could easily back up and restore that would be amazing.

Is there any competition or is this the first of its kind for Docker? Curious as I’m new to self-hosting.

Even if altruistic, your proposal to “ban it” is not consistent with free and open societies.

Also do you realize what we’re communicating on now can be considered social media. Should this be banned too?

“I don’t like xyz; ban it.” – that’s the same reasoning that ends up banning prolific books to “keep us safe.”

Nope not me. The masses just must be demanding it! 🙃

Does the update allow viewing tracks/routes for family member devices?

The workaround I’ve employed is simply logging into my wife’s account and her logging into mine to see detailed info, but if we had kids or more family members then it would be nice to get full tracks/routes and not only live location.

I set this up a week or two ago and have been quite pleased besides this hiccup. Thanks for all of your hard work!

(Also, for anyone curious I do like Colota on Android for the device tracking portion to accompany Dawarich.)

Does the new Dawarich mobile app show family member location now? Do you have plans for that? Visiting a web page on mobile isn’t ideal :)
