I solved the Android Auto issues so...I did it!

I've just ordered a Pixel 9 Pro XL. I won't even try the stock Android, I'll immediately install #GrapheneOS on it since day 1 (that will be tomorrow).

With the Android 15 Private Space feature (and the GrapheneOS team made it possible to install Google Services inside it, disabling them when the space is locked), I can enable and disable that space (and Google Services) when needed and without having to change profile. This is impressive and, for me, a game changer.

I'll try everything for some time. The battery life of my Pixel 7 without the Google services has been impressive. Today, I had a great experience with it as a main phone.

While I used it all the day, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra was idle (5 minutes of screen time). The Pixel consumes 22% of battery, the Samsung 20% - just being idle. No calls, no videos, just a bunch of notifications.

If the Pixel will have a comparable battery life to the Samsung, I'll keep it and eventually sell the Samsung.

A huge thank you to all the people the helped me to debug all the issues (I'm not tagging them as I'm sure I'll forget some) and to the GrapheneOS team for the great, impressive work they're doing.

We have launched a secondary Signal proxy using an IP not in the same subnet as our Tor relays

Please feel free to share this with anyone who wants a single-hop proxy to send and receive Signal messages

https://signal.tube/#ghostprotocol.net

In addition to possibly allowing censored Signal users to continue using Signal in an internet censored region, using a Signal proxy will also protect a user from disclosing any network metadata to or from *.signal.org domains to spying network admins or ISPs.

The US government wants developers to stop using C and C++ https://www.theregister.com/2024/11/08/the_us_government_wants_developers/ by @sjvn

Yes, they're serious. They have good #programming #security reasons for doing this. But, it's not going to happen anytime soon.

I wish @eff can update this digital security plan guide to include services that are outside the US because it'll be more important than ever given the ever hostile political climate to rely on those, especially cloud and messaging services.

Is it #MutualAid if I offer #jobs to #USA friends who want to emigrate right now?! Or am I profiting from other peoples suffering? If you *do* want to get #FediHired , check out these #job openings in #Amsterdam / Holland : currently 7 positions , but try open solicitation too .

If your #blind, #signal does nothing to protect your #privacy. They use #hcaptcha, so if you can’t see the images, you have to enable cross site cookies and give them a valid email. And if you want to contact signal about it, sending your device info via unencrypted email is the only way. This is not how privacy or #security work. You’re better off with iMessage. Or even watsapp! At least they don’t hand your data over to a third party captcha provider. Or send your device info via unencrypted email. #infosec #a11y #accessibility

If someone asked you how to get their first job in #software as a #developer what would you say? Non-traditional background but very bright, ideally #FOSS work. Any tips you'd give?

I said:

a. build #skills that others don't have, and that the industry wants. #ai #security #industry

b. get to know #people that are passionate about the same things you are. Go to meetups, conferences and talk to people

c. #reputation by giving #talks and build a #github portfolio

d. ask peeps for a job!

Donald Trump has STOPPED republicans from passing border reform. Therefore, any border problems going forward are HIS.

NEW: McConnell just told Senate Republicans Trump won’t let them help fix the border because he wants to run on it.

They need to have something to run on. The economy is doing well. Jobs are growing.

"If they allow efforts to address the border issue to pass, Republicans lose their main talking point. They'd rather keep the border as a cudgel to use during the election."

📢 NEW: McConnell just told Senate Republicans the sexual assault perpetrator won’t let them help fix the border because he wants to run on it.

Republicans refuse to fix the border, and allow the dangerous situation.

REPUBLICANS BLOCKED FUNDING BORDER SECURITY!

That the 500million people of #europe are depending on 300million #usa’s election results for what happens to #security arrangements on our continent is completely absurd!

#eu #defence this is your final warning. Pick yourself up from under the skirt of America or perish. 😡

Hey everyone! A couple good things to remember:

Signal is your friend! https://signal.org/
Be careful about what you post on corporate and federated social media. You don't need to self censor but you should take extra spicy discussions to something like Signal!

(people: please feel free to add hot tips for helping people keep things private!)
