Yeah, using your 12 or 24 words you saved elsewhere safely. First create a new wallet having a new set of 12/24 words and select an address to receive coins. Then restore the original wallet with your saved words and transfer you coins to the selected new address. Now your coins are safe in the new address and the new set of words are the ones you have to keep safe.
Interesting, I’ll check it out. I see the flapak release, will you make it available from flathub?
There are a couple of things you can do:
In both cases is extremely improbable that someone that grabs it will start to look for hidden or disabled apps in an old and seemingly discarded phone. That’s why nobody has to know that you save your keys in this way. Just grab an old phone, the older, cheaper and unatractive the better. Nature teaches us that disguise is the best way to hide. And in case is stolen, you have a good amount of time to move your coins to another wallet.
What you really need is an air gapped or cold storage and you can achieve this in many ways. I found that one of the best ways to do it is grabbing an old phone and following this guide. TLDR: install the software wallet and never connect the phone to the internet again and use QR codes to sign transactions using the camera. Practical, cheap, truly air gapped and doesn’t attract attention like a hardware wallet.
Posteo has an anonymized payment system, so you could pay with credit card and your payment information won’t be linked to your account.
Incarceration protects you from thieves and murderers, and sacrificing some liberty makes you safer.
It’s a script that I made some years ago. Give it executable permission and you can search (e.g. streema-cli jazz) play and save radio stations. I uses mpv. It loads saved stations when run with no arguments.
I moved to Linux, use Freetube, LineageOS on the phone, listen all day to internet radios from the command line, browser with uBlock add on and it’s been years since I saw or listened an ad.
It struck me how seamlessly AI can now mimic human creativity, to the point where it’s nearly impossible to distinguish between human-made and AI-generated content.
And let any non trained people to subjectively judge if the content is AI generated? With the latest versions of video generation models we are already in the situation where only software can tell if some videos are AI generated or not. Lots of channels will be wrongly tagged.
No, IMO. For a real private android experience you have to switch to Lineage or Graphene and F-droid apps. I’m writing this from a Galaxy A5 2016 with LineageOS with F-droid only apps in one (main) profile and WhatsApp and a couple of other (in my case, sadly unavoidable) proprietary apps in another profile.
Here is a list of supported phones by LineageOS in case you are willing to switch.
Should I do the same if I want to expose an OpenAI compatible API to access an LLM to chat remotely on local technical documents?
May be it’s the app, I use Jerboa.
I don’t get the downvotes. The article explains that many researchers pointed out methodological issues in the tests measuring microplastics and the implausibility of some results. An the criticism was made writing letters to the respective journals that published the results, i.e. at the highest level, even some authors admitted the possibility of mistakes in the results. Sounds good news to me and honestly having microplastics in the brain equivalent to a credit card was hard to believe.
Brother HL-1212w fully FOSS USB only monochrome laser. If you have a router with USB and openwrt installed you can share the printer over the network. Cheap old printer but works great for just printing.
Using vanilla LineageOS and apps from F-droid which are open source you are fine. Most spyware and malware come from apps so LineageOS with F-droid is huge step from stock android concerning privacy and security. And improved version is GrapheneOS but I don’t think is a necessity for the average user, if that’s your case.
You should check Mint again, things in the Linux world are improving fast lately. Some people got their grampas into Linux and they are happy using it, with your use case it can easily also be the case, the terminal it’s not needed, may be sporadically and to setup some things as you like at first, like changing settings to not enter passwords, may be it’s not so safe but it’s not as unsafe as using Windows. Just get used to the good habit of making regular backups. In any case just make a post asking and we will be happy to help. Just go ahead and slowly you will get confidence to do more difficult things. The freedom that you experience using Linux really worth it, but it can take time to appreciate.
If you use stock android and proprietary software, YES. Everything you type can be recorded before it’s encrypted.
Don’t fall into the illusion that you can have privacy with stock android. Google has admittedly igrored user settings to continue spying them.
So it seems that letting LLMs to write sloppy posts for us can be useful after all. May be c/privacy should implement an automatic AI reformating XD
