IT guy here, the NFC thing isn’t really a concern (NFC doesn’t work that way) or for that matter, any other wireless technology, as it’ll need to authenticate with your phone somehow. If you can somehow simply scan data from a phone without any form of authentication, that would be a massive security hole - something that would be patched by the vendors real quick. Also, if something like that were possible then the TSA/FBI wouldn’t have any issues pulling data from locked phones. Think of all the times you’ve had to put your phone thru the xray machines at the airports. Also see the case of FBI vs Apple for instance.
The other issues you’ve mentioned are valid though. Heck my Galaxy Fold won’t even fit in that slot.
Well, if you’re using Mullvad’s malware/ad filters etc there’s really no need for a PiHole in the first place (unless you’re doing some funky custom filtering).
Mullvad’s DNS. It’s available for non-subscribers as well, and their privacy policy explicitly claims they do not log DNS requests in any way. https://mullvad.net/en/help/no-logging-data-policy/
They support both DoT and DoH, and also have various servers for blocking ads, trackers etc (if you wish to use them): https://github.com/mullvad/dns-blocklists
I that case, check out Fedora CoreOS.
It runs entirely in RAM, administration is super simple, no ssh, easy to update/and upgrade, immutable, minimal distro designed specifically for secure container usage.
How about Gogs? The whole thing is < 30 MB, and is lightweight enough to run on a Raspberry Pi. You can even get a native binary package if you want to run it without the overhead of Docker.
The enshittification actually began several years ago, back when FB bought WhatsApp. That was the moment you gave up on privacy, the moment that was a clear sign that it was all going to go downhill from there. If y’all didn’t quit WhatsApp at that time, then you bought it upon yourselves. The truth is, you’ve been using a shitty service for a long time and whoring your data to Meta and making Zuckerberg richer, so this latest feature bloat or w/e isn’t the least bit interesting.
#Roombas, roll out!
But fear not, the Swat Kats are on their way to save the day!
Yep, just use the rectangular selection from the edge panel and you can save it as a screenshot or extract the text.
TIL about Kagi summarizer. Thanks!
Counter-counterpoint: he could work as a pentester, where his sole purpose is to just break into things.
Leave the policy making and actual hardening to someone else.
TL;DW?
Native Alpha is an opensource alternative.
That was a hilarious read. Thanks for sharing!
Probably Oblivion and Skyrim. Depends on the controls though, some PC games require a mouse and keyboard to play (like Age of Empires), so it would be interesting to see how they handle button mapping and mouse drags/gestures.
Here’s my take:
May need a bit of tweaking though to suit your tastes, especially light mode. The current color options are a bit limited.

In both cases though, there is a legal requirement to prove that you’re above legal age to buy/consume alcohol. However, there’s is no legal requirement to provide such information to a social media platform.
… for now. They’ve already replaced the old Notepad with a bloated UWP version, so it probably won’t be long before it starts sending telemetry as well.
