  • Is there still any hope for privacy phones? 2025 and beyond

    Jump

  • Yes. As long as GrapheneOS still exists there is at least some hope. The sad thing is even before this outside of GrapheneOS there really isn't any other "ROM" actually focused on privacy.

  • For direct downloads its a lot easier with debrid services as you can bypass a lot of the download limits from DDL sites.

  • Considering what's going on with Calyx these days I'm not sure I'd trust them either.

  • One is paywalled and one just gives me a blocked page.

    Give it a try and update the post. If I was a betting man I'd bet it won't work.

  • This is silly. You are either going to get in trouble or it simply won't work. Most airports are going to force you to do facial recognition anyway when you go to show them your ID.

    If your fingerprints don't show up well enough they just won't pass you for precheck. You don't get to falsely claim its a condition and they go "oh OK".

  • VPN Logging Policies in 2025: Which 'No-Logs' Providers Pass the Test?

    Jump

  • Audit providers just like VPN providers come in a wide variety of quality.

    Its hard to point out specifics of what makes a good audit as most people don't, and have no need to, understand the technical details of the audit and just go off its summary.

    Another difficulty is just like most VPN providers, there just isn't much info provided about Auditors or the auditing process.

    A few have well known reputations...

    KPMG is a low quality provider. Any auditing company that provides an "always-on" service is not being serious.

    Cure53 is a high quality provider.

  • They lost me at calling ExpressVPN the gold standard. Even their audit is bs. KPMG is the same company that provides the "always-on" audit to PureVPN.

    Any article that still uses the "eyes" as a factor in their evaluation is a massive red flag. Very public intelligence alliances are the least of your worries.

  • Fair enough. I'm cheap so I'd quibble over the extra $2/month 😂

  • Cloned the repo and ran the actions. Works like a charm. Setup a Kofi I'd much rather give you $5

    Note: github will not let you build arm64 as a private repo

  • Yeah that's kind of what I figured but not sure why a customer would just choose the more expensive option.

  • I was wondering when that repo showed up and all of a sudden there were 50k downloads of the windows version if this might happen.

    The coderberg fork was linked directly to the main strawberry page where the source code is and it's pretty obvious the downloads were just the same as any subscriber executables.

    I highly doubt the story that the person behind the fork was given binaries for testing. My guess is it was just a subscriber sharing their downloaded executables.

    The whole malware argument the creator made is fear mongering.

    Its odd he charges $7/month for subscribers on Patreon but its only $5 if you pay via Kofi.

  • I don't think people could have predicted how big of a need privacy and security would be on the internet or that the western world would so quickly embrace fascism / authoritarianism after barely a generation has past since WWII
