According to the dev, Play Services is only needed for casting:
“…you only need play services for Chromecast.” SOURCE, replying to a GrapheneOS user
He even offers an option to install without the play store (via Aurora) and to contact him for the license. SOURCE
The only feature I want (because it really does feel all my other needs perfectly) is the ability to DELETE articles.
Some of the stuff that gets by RSS before it’s moderated out from the source, can be awful. Since I keep an archive of my feeds, this becomes problematic.
Symfonium
What didn’t you like about it?
That’s what I’m using after looking at a bunch of other options based on my requirements, and while I didn’t want to go with a closed source, paid app, it does everything.
That’s some malicious compliance right there! 😂
There is no excuse for a max password length of 16, that’s just terrible.
I get your point above, and the reason I hate short passwords is that I use passphrases. They are not only easier to type in, but long passphrases of 4+ words (plus a few extra characters and a number) are considerably more secure than the “best” 16-character password made up of random characters.
Per your problem above, is this why some sites send you a 2FA code before asking for your password? To avoid that potential DOS attack?
Interestingly enough, I went to check on how to apply for our new dental care plan, and they only give the option to apply online. 😵
I don’t generally mind doing government-related stuff online, since it’s minutes rather than hours of my time. But this password thing, for a government site, is aweful.
If you absolutely must use it make sure that password is only used on that specific site. I would strongly recommend looking for other ways before you do though.
Not only did I use a completely unique and random password, but all the “security questions” (they asked for quite a few), were just random words for things like “Your pet’s name”.
In addition to the shitty password requirement, 2FA is also done by phone or text. Like, come on!
This begs the question though, what country?
Canada. We do a lot through our government systems: license plate renewal, address changes, taxes, benefits, etc.
Given Teslas only use cameras
This still blows my mind. My fucking robot vacuum uses LiDAR, and multi-ton vehicles on public roads use cameras? Jesus Christ.
I guess there’s going to be a lot of heroes popping Robo-Taxi tires. To protect their community and all that.
I guess the more privacy-focused tools you have, the more features in Leta becomes redundant.
But Leta is only supposed to be a proxy search. Being on a VPN or secure DNS should have absolutely no bearing on how it works.
I can see them saying those things if they were Google trying to steal data and show you targeted ads, but it’s really strange to be coming from Mullvad’s own search proxy tool.
What does this even mean?
What is the point of Leta?
Leta aims to present a reliable and trustworthy way of searching privately on the internet.
However, Leta is useless as a service if you use the perfect non-logging VPN, a privacy focussed DNS service, a web browser that resists fingerprinting, and correlation attacks from global actors. Leta is also useless if your browser blocks all cookies, tracking pixels and other tracking technologies.
For most people Leta can be useful, as the above conditions cannot ever truly be met by systems that are available today.
??? It’s “useless” if you use other privacy-focused tools in your browser or internet connection?
How does one realistically test their backups, if they are doing the 3-2-1 backup plan?
I validate (or whatever the term used is) my backups, once a month, and trust that it means something 😰
Yes!! That would be really helpful, too.
