Chatmail makes e-mail cheap again

new chatmail-based instant onboarding system, e-mail addresses are becoming, like in the early 2000s, cheap and virtually free. But this time around, there is no company posturing to “do no evil” luring everyone to their central “ethical” service and then drop the pretense soon after. Running a chatmail server is a cheap activity that we want people to be able to do on the side and on low-end hardware all across the world. Chatmail is best described as an ephemeral end-to-end encrypted messaging routing system running at Internet-scale.

I need my work emails on my mobile. They only work with Exchange/Activesync. IMAP is not an option. Is there a good, privacy respecting app for Android out there? I would like if I could use the same app for my other E-Mails which all use IMAP. I now use Gmail, but I hate the unnecessary connection with the big G. I'd also prefer not to use Outlook (mobile) because it (might) send your credentials to MS.

As the week draws to a close, clients of Cencora and The Lash Group have been submitting breach notifications to state attorneys general.

The Lash Group partners with pharmaceutical companies, pharmacies, and healthcare providers to facilitate access to therapies through drug distribution, patient support and services, business analytics and technology, and other services. Their substitute notice explains that based on their investigation, personal information including personal health information was affected, “including potentially first name, last name, date of birth, health diagnosis, and/or medications and prescriptions.”

With only partial numbers from some clients available, there are already 542,062 patients affected. When full numbers are revealed, the grand total for this incident will likely be significantly higher. (See UPDATE below)

Update 1: Added Johnson & Johnson entries and Abbott entry, bringing current partial total affected to 717,723 for 18 clients.

Update 2: Added Amgen, but no numbers available, so partial total remains at 717,723 but for 19 incidents.

Pretty much the title. I'm trying to find some ammunition to fight my HOA on wasting our money. They make us use an app to gain access to amenities, and I want to see what telemetry the app sends back or what it may track.

I tried TrackerControl, but the app (alarm.com) doesn't pop up in its feed.

I've long been annoyed that everyone, including myself uses Paypal/ Venmo for moving money around. What alternatives do you find useful? Here's a list (https://alternativeto.net/software/venmo/). GNU Taler looks viable (https://taler.net/en/index.html). I would love to have your thoughts!

Hi privacy community. I genuinely want to hear from both people who are very private and those who didn't go to such an extent.

I started my journy since high school and replaced a lot of stuff since then.

Ditched most of Google's app . Only 2~3 apps on my phone require google play store(Banking/School's app/ Train ticket).

Switched to Protonmail + Email alias, and manage my passwords with Bitwarden.

Got off social media and made sure I removed all data that can be found about me in quick Google searches.

Switched to Linux for desktop.

But

I can't get rid of gmail because I still need those apps, and some professors heavily relies on google services.

Windows ain't getting off my laptop because I need to make sure document format and software compatibility don't become reasons I fail a class.

I feel like the obstacle I hit isn't just convenience anymore, it's my life and the situations I'm in.

I wish to hear what kind of dicisions / realizations / mindsets you guys had in your journy.

Thanks in advance.

Raivo launched another update today with the following message:

Dear users,

We apologize for the issues caused by our recent update. Please be assured that we are working around the clock to find a solution for this situation. In this version, we have implemented a temporary fix that enables the import and export feature.

If you receive a prompt asking you to choose between offline backup or iCloud, please select iCloud and enter your MASTERKEY. This will allow you to recover all of your codes.

We are still working and conducting thorough testing to determine how we can resolve this issue. We appreciate your patience.

Best regards,

Unfortunately I did not sync my app to iCloud previously due to distrust with Apple, which I acknowledge is entirely my fault. This means I was not able to recover my codes.

I suggest using 2FAS instead of Raivo. I've used it for 9 months and had no issues whatsoever.

Edit: @[email protected] has also recommended ente

@[email protected], luck is in your favor.

Title.

I've used it before, but I'm not really sure how I feel about it. Would you use it on a day-to-day basis?

Wall Street Journal (paywalled) The digital payments company plans to build an ad sales business around the reams of data it generates from tracking the purchases as well as the broader spending behaviors of millions of consumers who use its services, which include the more socially-enabled Venmo app.

PayPal has hired Mark Grether, who formerly led Uber’s advertising business, to lead the effort as senior vice president and general manager of its newly-created PayPal Ads division.

Hello,

Suppose you have a PC with 2 separate SSDs. One is an install of Windows 11. The other is an install of a Linux distro, encrypted at time of installation (for example, with LUKS). Obviously you would only boot into one or the other at a time.

So a dual-boot, but each boot portion is on its own SSD (not sure if this matters, but its a relevant scenario).

Can the Windows 11 portion somehow get through the Linux encryption and access / read data on the Linux portion?

Sorry if this is a stupid or obvious question.

I'm looking for a way to have a private method for Tap to Pay on GrapheneOS. Ideally I would like compatibility with privacy.com, and if possible have the option for Monero. I don't mind going through an exhaustive setup process. What are my options?

Edit: The point of this is not for convenience, I am trying to avoid using my standard credit/debit card to provide privacy against my bank by using privacy.com or Monero when cash is unavailable.

The new MV3 architecture reflects Google's avowed desire to make browser extensions more performant, private, and secure. But the internet giant's attempt to do so has been bitterly contested by makers of privacy-protecting and content-blocking extensions, who have argued that the Chocolate Factory's new software architecture will lead to less effective privacy and content-filtering extensions.

For users of uBlock Origin, which runs on Manifest V2, "options" means using the less capable uBlock Origin Lite, which supports Manifest V3.

Not affiliated with the author, I just really like their videos.

As the title says. I'm just curious what's triggering it. There is no MS Office installed. Happens as soon i start a windows10 pc and it's "packed" into svchost. Any idea?

We have previously highlighted the importance of not losing your account number, encouraging it to be written down in a password manager or similar safe location.

For the sake of convenience account numbers have been visible when users logged into our website. This had led to there being potential concerns where a malicious observer could:

• Use up all of a user's connections
• Delete a user's devices

From the 3rd June 2024 you will no longer be able to see your account number after logging into our website.

Does anyone know what the technical design model of this project might entail? Its last iteration was a tor exit node, which is straightforward enough, but how would you design a gateway router accessible via WiFi that would direct all traffic over tor? This is not idea. The client (or full OS like TAILS or Whonix) is ideal and many common sites block tor (like this one). There must be a design for combining proxies with tor to get this AP to work practically for conventional use, as it seems to be advertised. Maybe early on, before tor got blocked so much, it did work as simply as it sounds.

Has anyone read the book or theories that inspired this work? Probably perfect for this community. I want to see if I can get a hold of a copy.

Is it possible to blog in the AI era?

I write short stories every now and then and I throw them online. I also have a tech blog, where I moan about the decisions software I use make and with my "infinite wisdom", I tell them what they should be doing instead.

I used to host both on Medium, but Medium got greedy. Then it was WordPress, but now even they're trying to be greedy bastards and use my shit for training AI.

Some would argue that WordPress paid hosting will exempt me from the AI training, but for less than 100 visitors a year, it's not really worth the expense.

So what is the solution? I ask the greater minds of this community for suggestions.

Waterfox is a browser, obviously based on Firefox, but without default "junk" that Firefox comes with.

Don't see many mentions to Waterfox at all in this community? Are there any specific reasons for it? Seems like a neat version of Firefox, with development based out of the UK.

basically what the title says

the ones i'm aware of:

• google's recaptcha
• ~~cloudflare's~~ hcaptcha

cloudflare being better for privacy compared to google, but still not great afaik
