Well Monero is a load better then any bank if you ask me.

How would you verify it though? Someone could abuse it it and report anything for CSAM. Verifying is kind of a difficult thing in this case.

I use grapheneos on A P7 pro. Banking apps work fine because the bootloader gets locked with grapheneos. This is what most banking apps would complain about. Also if it for some reason requires google play services this is available too in a sandboxes way.

I looked at headscale but as far as I can tell their is no active directory or SSO integration. Which is very unfortunate.

They can also make playlist for them self. And hey as a bonus they might discover other songs they like.

If you are afraid of being ddosed which is very unlikely. Cloudflare has free ddos protection. You can put some but not all things behind their proxy.

Also instead of making things publicly available look in to using a VPN. Wireguard with “wireguard easy” makes this very simple.

VLANs do not make you network magically more secure. But when setup correctly can increase security a load if something has already penetrated the network. But also just to streamline a network and allow or deny some parts of the network.

may kill a background app even when told not to

Most of the time this can disabled somewhere in the app permissions. i have done this for a couple of apps without much issue.

google firebase notification system

Why though? If a app has its own implementation this is a non issue really.

Normally yes. But they also have mailbox application that kind of acts as a message queue both ways

I never said bleeding edge wouldn’t work. But bleeding edge comes with its own complications that might not be suited for a newbie

Why not use a combined library if I may ask? This would be similar to things like Spotify or tidal but then self hosted.

Their is briar. It is fully decentralized and works p2p over for.

the reason why arch gets recommend a lot as a gaming distro is that it is bleeding edge. Their for has very up to date drivers and parches that can help gaming. But with the current state of gaming on Linux this is a bit less of a requirement. most distros are new enough for most games. Exception might be debian LTS or something.

So i totaly agree that choosing something other then arch for gaming is a good option if you are rather new to linux.

The official site is best to get started. Personally i find it the most easy to run a container and configure a secondary Firefox profile: https://geti2p.net/en/

Just search protonmail honeypot and you get many results. I am not saying it is true. Just saying because a company gets accused of something doesn’t make it true.

Well proton has been accused of being a honeypot as well.

It is a necessary evil. Better make it as good as possible. Hosting your own mail server is not feasible in most cases

Wouldn’t this be solved with the birdge? I am thinking of going the paid plan anyway due to the custom domains.

The push notifications would be a issue for me. I am using GrapheneOS without any google services.

Also the calendar i am not 100% sure how I want to do it. I currently use Nextcloud and Caldav. Which for me works great when syncing with Etar on my phone and Evolution mail in the desktop. For my dad I have setup caldavsynchronizer for outlook as that is the email client he has used for years. When i would use Tuta id loose the nextcloud calendar because it can in no way synchronize with Tuta. With proton on the other hand I can use the bride for email and use the calendar how i am currently using it together with Etar on the phone.

On the other hand if say Tuta providers a calendar that is integrated and works with both the email client on the desktop and on the phone. the same goal is accomplished.

For me the vpn and storage is not something I am interested in. Bundles in general though. The 10 custom domains is a nice thing for sure.
