Truly random, high-entropy passphrases are a valid option to unlock your password manager, as they can easily be remembered if you create a mnemonic like an absurd story using the random words as a recall technique. They can also be valid for full-disk encryption on your laptop, or as a passphrase for an encryption key like PGP or SSH, etc. It is best practice to not reuse passphrases. I recommend using KeePassXC to generate this high-entropy passphrase for most people, or if you follow the instructions to the letter, this is a very good offline method: https://www.eff.org/dice However, I highly recommend using high-entropy random passwords that include: • Length (in characters) • Use of uppercase and lowercase letters • Use of numeric characters • Use of special symbols ...for pretty much everything else. Here is some good info on passphrases vs passwords: "If you compare a passphrase to a truly random password, the password is the better, more secure option." https://proton.me/blog/what-is-passphrase Here is some more good info on password entropy, including the math used to calculate it: https://proton.me/blog/what-is-password-entropy While ProtonPass/Bitwarden will tell you if a password/passphrase is strong, KeePassXC shows you the entropy of your passwords in bits—both internally generated, or by pasting your current password into the password generator. I suggest using it as an easy way to check your exact password entropy. You want an entropy score of at least 75 bits (72 is reasonably easy to crack). npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ Remembering Chris McCandless on what would have been his 57th birthday.

Action is God creating—or God experienced. Your thought about yourself is that you are not good enough, not wondrous enough, not sinless enough, to be a part of God, in partnership with God. You have denied for so long Who You Are that you have forgotten Who You Are. This has not occurred by coincidence; this is not happenstance. It is all part of the divine plan—for you could not claim, create, experience—Who You Are if you already were it. It was necessary first for you to release (deny, forget) your connection to Me in order to fully experience it by fully creating it—by calling it forth. For your grandest wish—and My grandest desire—was for you to experience yourself as the part of Me you are. You are therefore in the process of experiencing yourself by creating yourself anew in every single moment. As am I. Through you. Do you see the partnership? Do you grasp its implications? It is a holy collaboration—truly, a holy communion. Life will "take off" for you, then, when you choose for it to. You have not so chosen as yet. You have procrastinated, prolonged, protracted, protested. Now it is time that you promulgated and produced what you have been promised. To do this, you must believe the promise, and live it. You must live the promise of God. The promise of God is that you are His son. Her offspring. Its likeness. His equal. Ah...here is where you get hung up. You can accept "His son," "offspring," "likeness," but you recoil at being called "His equal." It is too much to accept. Too much bigness, too much wonderment—too much responsibility, for if you are God's equal, that means nothing is being done to you—and all things are created by you. There can be no more victims and no more villains—only outcomes of your thought about a thing. I tell you this: all you see in your world is the outcome of your idea about it. Do you want your life to truly "take off"? Then change your idea about it. About you. Think, speak, and act as the God You Are. Of course this will separate you from many—most—of your fellow men. They will call you crazy. They will say you blaspheme. They will eventually have enough of you, and they will attempt to crucify you. They will do this not because they think you are living in a world of your own illusions (most men are gracious enough to allow you your private entertainments), but because, sooner or later, others will become attracted to your truth—for the promises it holds for them. Here is where your fellow men will interfere—for here is where you will begin to threaten them. For your simple truth, simply lived, will offer more beauty, more comfort, more peace, more joy, and more love of self and others than anything your earthly fellows could contrive. And that truth, adopted, would mean the end of their ways. It would mean the end of hatred and fear and bigotry and war. The end of the condemning and killing that has gone on in My name. The end of might—is—right. The end of purchase—through—power. The end of loyalty and homage through fear. The end of the world as they know it—and as you have created it thus far. So be ready, kind soul. For you will be vilified and spat upon, called names, and deserted, and finally they will accuse you, try you, and condemn you—all in their own ways—from the moment you accept and adopt your holy cause—the realization of Self. Why, then, do it? Because you are no longer concerned with the acceptance or approval of the world. You are no longer satisfied with what that has brought you. You are no longer pleased with what it has given others. You want the pain to stop, the suffering to stop, the illusion to end. You have had enough of this world as it presently is. You seek a newer world. Seek it no longer. Now, call it forth." — Neale Donald Walsch, Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue (Book 1) #IKITAO npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ Our biology shows distinct herbivorous traits. Our saliva contains plant-digesting enzymes absent in carnivores. Our stomach acid is mild (pH 4-5) compared to carnivores (pH 1), and our intestines span 10-11 times our body length, matching other herbivores' ratio of 10-12, while carnivores' intestines are just 3-6 times their body length. Physical features like fleshy lips, flat nails, and small mouths align with herbivorous anatomy. While humans can digest meat, our digestive system's structure and chemistry match the profile of plant-eating animals. npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ Meat eating is not a sin—it is simply ugly. The very idea of killing an animal when beautiful vegetarian food is available, is deeply unaesthetic. If you can justify killing animals, why not humans? After all, these creatures are our family—they are our brothers and sisters on the same evolutionary journey. npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ Animals have brains and nervous systems that allow them to feel physical and emotional states. They experience pain, fear, joy, and form social bonds, and they actively try to avoid harm and death.

A man of the lowest virtue never strays from virtue and that is why he is without virtue. The former never acts yet leaves nothing undone. The latter acts but there are things left undone. A man of the highest benevolence acts, but from no ulterior motive. A man of the highest rectitude acts, but from ulterior motive. A man most conversant in the rites acts, but when no one responds rolls up his sleeves and resorts to persuasion by force. Hence when the way was lost there was virtue; When virtue was lost there was benevolence; When benevolence was lost there was rectitude; When rectitude was lost there were the rites. The rites are the wearing thin of loyalty and good faith And the beginning of disorder; Foreknowledge is the flowery embellishment of the way And the beginning of folly. Hence the man of large mind abides in the thick not in the thin, in the fruit not in the flower. Therefore he discards the one and takes the other. — #Tao Te Ching: Ch 38 (D.C.

Yes, Lightning offers better privacy than Bitcoin when set up properly, but it also has a more complex system, equating to a larger attack surface. LN's privacy features are not automatic; users must understand and manage their privacy settings actively, which can lead to unintentional exposure of transaction details. A fundamental privacy weakness persists in the asymmetric nature of Lightning transactions—the sender learns extensive details about the receiver's node, channels, and liquidity, while the receiver learns nothing about the sender. Plus, there's the persistent hassle of maintaining channel liquidity. Even with proper setup, Lightning faces critical privacy vulnerabilities against global adversaries who can monitor network traffic—while individual participants can't see payment details, entities capable of monitoring internet connections can track payment flows by observing message patterns between nodes, making its privacy guarantees fundamentally weak against sophisticated surveillance. Lightning falls well short of the anonymity provided by Monero with its stealth addresses, ring signatures, and RingCT—and soon, Full-chain Membership Proofs (FCMPs) will fix current vulnerabilities like the Exchange Attack Everywhere (EAE) attack. With FCMPs, every input will have a 100-million anonymity set, up from the current 16 Ring Signatures. Where privacy is a concern, I still recommend Monero over Lightning for most people, as Monero's privacy features are built-in on the base layer and work by default. npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ Om Mani Padme Hum 六字大明咒 (Cosmic 宇宙篇) by Imee Ooi 黄慧音 🔊💜 https://file.nostrmedia.com/p/4eb88310d6b4ed95c6d66a395b3d3cf559b85faec8f7691dafd405a92e055d6d/c3e8f06fb235aa0d049ee651a5f26fbea36f61e048f2ec8d0953c24f2f6b1846.mp4 Sanskrit: ॐ मणि पद्मे हूँ Transliteration: Om Mani Padme Hum English: The jewel in the lotus blooms Transforming all suffering into light YT https://youtu.be/7o02EnTyw-M #IKITAO #Mantra #Music npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ Yes. I'm in Bitcoin for the original cypherpunk ethos (personal freedom, privacy, and decentralization) outlined in the white paper—which is why I also use Monero. There is a large sell-out, highly-regulated price to pay for government adoption and "money go up." If Bitcoin is not used as a currency, and only as an historically well-performing, highly-volatile asset/commodity, it will still likely be a good investment, but it will have been neutered as a global cryptoCURRENCY, and have failed in its original vision. Snowden has been warning the Bitcoin devs for years to bake in privacy on the protocol level, and the clock is ticking. Cash can be used privately. Everything will be tracked when we go full digital on a public blockchain. When AI is put to the task of on-chain analysis, all the hoops Bitcoiners have been jumping through for years to try and use Bitcoin privately will have been of little use. There is a reason Bitcoin is being co-opted by the powers that be, while Monero is being delisted from the CEXs. npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ There is a certain personality type who is very chameleon-like; they project abundance, gain confidence, and instill trust. However, because they know they cannot create things of their own—relationships, wealth, happiness, stability, etc—they must steal—and take credit for—the creations of others. In recognizing this, do not come from a position of lack. There is no need to worry or become defensive. Simply cultivate discernment, and out-create them. #IKITAO #AvaQuotes npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ Until we have confirmation of the arrival of extraterrestrial species, there are no aliens or foreigners on planet Earth—we are all family and neighbors, fellow travelers sharing this beautiful planet together. #IKITAO #AvaQuotes npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ My two-year Nostrversary is just around the corner, and what a journey it's been.

Now we wait to see what it will take to finally pardon one of America's most courageous patriots—will Edward Snowden's freedom ever come?—will it emerge from presidential conscience, or will it require another "V4P" (votes for pardon) campaign deal?

We have always outnumbered them, that is why governments create dependency, power, and control by pitting us against each other. npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ You're mixing several distinct concepts. The debate about open borders in libertarian philosophy is fundamentally about freedom of movement and association - a core libertarian principle. This isn't about chaos or lack of rules - it's about opposing state coercion over natural rights. The Bitcoin comparison actually undermines your argument. Bitcoin has demonstrated how open borderless systems can facilitate global exchange without state control. Just as cryptocurrencies enable voluntary cross-border transactions despite government restrictions, libertarian open borders advocacy argues for removing artificial state barriers to human movement while maintaining private property rights. Your concern about 'political dystopian chaos' misses the key libertarian distinction - opposing state-enforced borders doesn't mean opposing private property rights or rules. Libertarianism supports both open borders and strong private property rights, with property owners maintaining full control over their private spaces. The current passport system isn't some timeless protection - it's a relatively recent state invention from 1920, created for government control during wartime. This isn't about utopianism - it's about consistent application of libertarian principles: voluntary association, private property rights, and freedom from state coercion. npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ #nevent1q…ve9m npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ True libertarians protect their private property as they see fit - no state intervention needed. npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ True Libertarians Support Open Borders: Why H-1B Critics Betray Free Market Principles #nevent1q…7nd6 #IKITAO #Freedom #Liberty npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ 💯 A $300 fun and educational lotto ticket. A decentralized fleet of BitAxes will not overtake industrial mining operations (industrial-scale ASIC miners can produce hundreds or thousands of TH/s). Even if you gathered an army of 50,000 BitAxes (that's $15 million worth!), each producing 1.6 TH/s, you'd only reach about 80,000 TH/s combined. A single warehouse of industrial miners can dwarf that entire fleet. And dreaming bigger with a million BitAxes? That's $300 million spent to achieve what a few racks of industrial ASICs can do. It sounds like a good fight for a good cause, and it's a fun hobby project if you'd rather not save for a proper miner or stack more sats. The harsh reality is that while buyers gamble on hitting a block with their 22W miners, the sellers marketing that distant hope are the ones consistently profiting from the $300 price tags. #nevent1q…6ds6 npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ Certainly, it doesn't seem to have been a priority. While TikTok has been a huge source of income for many creators, I honestly don't see much overlap with Nostr users—aside from a few cross-posts here and there. It's unfortunate to see people lose their platform, but there's a classic lesson here: never build your house on someone else's land. This applies to all social media platforms, both centralized and decentralized. The best strategy for most remains to use these communication channels to connect with and direct like-minded people to platforms you control—your own website and your own mailing list/forum. npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ Nostr is too dissimilar to be a haven for most TikTockers.

This recent Siri spying debacle is a good case in point of why you may not. GrapheneOS is more private than either, with not many tradeoffs in usability. I recommend GrapheneOS; it's best in class at what it does, but there are some inconveniences to using it. Not many, but there are some features you may miss, like facial unlock, Apple Pay, or Google Pay, and AI integration (everything is sandboxed), etc. This sandboxing treats Google like any other app and isolates it from being as invasive as it is on stock (even with turning off location data and hardening your privacy using their settings). However, if you are still uploading all your data to Google or Apple, who scan email and photos and collect a ton of behavioral data, then GrapheneOS can do nothing about that. It protects a lot through its approach of greater privacy and security through isolation, compartmentalization, and on-device security. If you use these big tech services, then you must be diligent about what data you allow them to have access to. Even if you host your own email, it's likely that the recipient does not, and that becomes a point of failure unless you use PGP (which is really a privacy band-aid since email was never meant to be a secure form of communication), or better yet, an E2EE messenger like SimpleX over Tor/Orbot. However, there are times when email is necessary, so you must be mindful of what data you're sending over unencrypted channels and to whom. I only use the phone app or SMS messenger on my phone if I absolutely have to. The Snowden leaks proved that the U.S. government has been spying on its own population through backdoors to social media and through unencrypted communication channels like SMS and phone. All encryption is not created equal and some implementations have security holes. I use Signal/Molly (hardened Signal fork) for normie conversations (kids, mom, etc.). I use SimpleX for more sensitive matters. I speak in person in private locations whenever possible for the most sensitive matters. It all depends on your threat model. Your devices can be found through satellite and signals triangulation unless you keep them in a Faraday bag and never connect them to your home network—even then, if you turn them on when you're outside, you can be tracked and doxxed through behavioral data like work address, friends' addresses, frequented locations, etc. I recommend a second device paired with good OPSEC for this, and a complete burner purchased by someone not connected with you in cash for a bug-out device. If you make the purchase, wear a privacy mask, pay in cash, buy a prepaid card (use decoy info to activate), or silent link eSIM paid with Monero over Tor using a device that has never connected to your home Internet for maximum anonymity—don't park in the parking lot (they have tag and RFID scanners that ID anyone who parks or drives through there). You have to decide what's best for your threat model. Do you really need to be a ghost? Does your threat model in this area of your life include government or just big tech? Are you evading an abusive ex? Are you a well-known person avoiding being tracked by media and paparazzi? etc. Privacy is always a trade-off with convenience. The more privacy you need, the less convenience you will have. In some areas of your life, you may need greater privacy, like private messaging; in others, you may want more convenience. In the end, all you can do is try to slow someone down by compartmentalizing and protecting your data with multiple encrypted layers and red herrings. That said, given the right reasons, enough time and money, and most anyone can be found. If you want ultimate privacy, never use the Internet; never walk out of the house without a mask (due to Ring cameras and public surveillance); don't open any accounts in your name; don't own anything in your name, etc. Even then, for example, if you are in the vicinity of someone with a live mic or have to make a phone call to a company, chances are, your voice and current locale can be fingerprinted. That said, it is possible for most people to disappear from most anyone save for gov entities for extended periods of time, but it is extraordinarily inconvenient and not having a front-facing digital identity is oftentimes more suspicious than having one, even if it is just there to reduce suspicion. I recommend Michael Bazzell's IntelTechniques books and training as a very good introduction to privacy and OSINT if you want to learn more. Regarding OSINT: if you have a bank account or a phone number (VoIP/Jabber numbers are frequently blocked by financial services), a car in your name, a KYC account somewhere, a rental agreement, a mortgage, a driver's license, a passport, a public record, a brick and mortar business you work at or own etc. etc., then you can be found. I have tools and the skills to find most anyone just with open source, freely available to anyone data, and I know where to go if I cannot. For example, did you know there are states in the U.S. where tag registrations are considered public information, and in the states where they're not, it doesn't cost much to have a licensed PI run a tag? There is even a new form of police scanning device that can read RFID signals from your car tag, your phone, your pet's microchip, even your library books—creating a unique fingerprint to ID you even if it's not your car. This device can scan and record all of this data from a distance while you're driving down the road. Wifi signals can be used to map out a house, and the location of people inside it. There are so many ways that people can be IDed. My advice is to know your threat model, and in what areas of your life you require more privacy and are willing to sacrifice convenience, learn and practice good OPSEC, and act accordingly. #IKITAO #Privacy npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ You clearly don't understand the concept of threat model or privacy and security through isolation and compartmentalization. Even Snowden said he's no longer as hardcore because he doesn't have to be. His threat model has changed since he was running from the government. His role is now more that of an educator. The problem with most privacy educators is that they think everyone has the same threat model—the MOST EXTREME. Good OPSEC is principle-based. It's all about YOUR specific threat model. There are basic practices, yes, but most people are not running from the government (which is very hard to sustain for any extended period of time). Most people don't need to go full-on ghost or have the most extreme threat model. If you sacrifice too much convenience when it's not necessary, you will burn out. You have to take inventory and decide in what areas of your life it is more important for you to sacrifice convenience for extra privacy and security, and to what degree. npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ Yes, I use GrapheneOS on one of my devices—and have used it as my daily driver for years—but recently moved away from it as my primary phone. My threat model allows for maintaining a front-facing web identity (which is often less suspicious in today's digital landscape). My main device (Pixel 9 Pro XL) now runs stock Pixel OS because it was built from the hardware up to enhance Gemini integration and productivity features. I keep GrapheneOS (which is best in class at what it does) on a separate, more locked-down phone for specialized use cases requiring enhanced privacy and security. This privacy through isolation and compartmentalization approach lets me maintain both a public presence and private operations while keeping them properly isolated, rather than compromising by trying to make one device do everything. npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ Unless you use Mullvad (Mullvad gets blocked often with streaming services, financial sites, etc., due to abuse and because its implementation of the WireGuard protocol making it easily detected), just switch VPN servers. npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ To be fair, George Washington regularly consumed and ordered Madeira wine and porter beer, though he drank moderately by the standards of his time.

How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood? An afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless."

I really wish more case manufacturers would focus on enhancing the phone's design rather than changing it. IMO, most cases take a $1500 sleekly designed phone and make it look cheap. Anyway, here were my requirements: Glass Screen Protector: - Easy to install with alignment tool - Drop test protection - Scratch resistant (9H hardness) - High optical clarity - Minimal/no rainbowing effect with polarized lenses - Precise cutouts - Full coverage without camera cutout - Case compatibility - Front and back camera coverage - Minimal to no impact on photo/video quality - Does not affect fingerprint recognition - Does not affect swipe/gesture functionality - Oleophobic coating for smudge resistance - Reasonable cost Case: - Minimalist design - Slim profile with solid drop protection - Raised corner lips for screen protection - Raised lip rear camera protection - Responsive, clicky buttons - Unimpeded swipe functionality - Easy port access - Precise cutouts - Minimal dust collection points - Balanced grip (not too slick/rough) - Fingerprint-resistant - Lightweight and compact - MagSafe compatibility (bonus) - Microfiber interior (preferred) - Design enhancement, not detraction - Full NFC and Qi2 charging compatibility - Heat dissipation - Reasonable cost After extensive research, I settled on Spigen for both: Case: Spigen Tough Armor (Matte Black) Cost: $15.99 (on sale) - Pros: Meets most requirements - Compromises: No MagSafe, lacks microfiber interior https://file.nostrmedia.com/p/4eb88310d6b4ed95c6d66a395b3d3cf559b85faec8f7691dafd405a92e055d6d/abca904fc3dbc14ab9a4f4861099298afbee23f74057ac4a517cfdc57916d916.png Screen Protection: Spigen Glass Protectors (front and back) Cost: 18.99 + $14.99 - Spigen Camera Lens Protector [GlasTR EZ FIT Optik] - Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector [GlasTR EZ FIT] - Pros: Meets all requirements, includes applicator and spare protector - Compromises: May not match Zagg's drop protection, might cause some blurring with telephoto lens (will test) https://file.nostrmedia.com/p/4eb88310d6b4ed95c6d66a395b3d3cf559b85faec8f7691dafd405a92e055d6d/4e179d8fb8cd88a86cbaa9d0428e9dc63d96a39f5806845356ea626b74406d23.png https://file.nostrmedia.com/p/4eb88310d6b4ed95c6d66a395b3d3cf559b85faec8f7691dafd405a92e055d6d/ee64e3c2acda79016b5e8305512716b81b970d98864b9628d1f06daf0ca67c35.png Total cost (before tax): $49.97 While this combination might not be everyone's ideal choice, I feel it is a well-researched balance of protection, functionality, and design. I'll let you know how the real world test goes when they arrive.

I have a hardware firewall and multiple rules on my home network, and I know what I'm doing. If you are ever in the proximity of a place or persons who uses a device with a live mic (most people), then your voice and its proximity to your device has been fingerprinted/recorded, the same way that your car tag and the unique IDs of your devices and the RFID chips in your pet etc. can be uniquely fingerprinted with new police tech even while you are driving your car or parked in a parking lot with a scanner (most major parking lots). My second (more locked-down) mobile device never connects to my home network, stays in a Faraday bag with the signals off, and is turned on and off at the same random location at least 5 miles from my home. My bug out devices are even more locked down. I write, and have written, much about privacy through isolation and compartmentalization. It is not IF you are being tracked and spied on; it is being aware of what data you are providing when, and where, you are. https://file.nostrmedia.com/p/4eb88310d6b4ed95c6d66a395b3d3cf559b85faec8f7691dafd405a92e055d6d/a50fcf0a5871a5a076cd51b3ce2e96fd62929f3252cb59a6e0041bb8e6bed740.webp Liberated link: https://archive.ph/bYszD npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ Yes, it is my understanding that GrapheneOS's attestation feature would detect such tampering. It verifies the entire OS installation's integrity through hardware-backed security, checking the bootloader, firmware, and OS installation itself. Even if malicious code were injected during data transfer, the system would detect unauthorized modifications because it relies on secure hardware verification rather than just software checks. This does not apply to third-party apps running on top of the OS, though GrapheneOS does support Play Integrity API and SafetyNet Attestation API for app compatibility. For third-party app security, you would need to rely on: - The app's own security measures - GrapheneOS's sandboxing features - Regular security updates - Careful permission management I would be less concerned with Google injecting anything into GrapheneOS through a standard new device data transfer wizard—unless you're on a significant watchlist and your phone is already compromised, in which case attackers have more subtle methods at their disposal. I'm more concerned with an unaudited GitHub app. Even with open-source code, few people review it thoroughly, and malware frequently appears in open-source repositories. npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ It's here! The Pixel 9 Pro XL is such a big upgrade from the 6 Pro. I'm a big fan of the new edges and redesigned camera bump—it finally looks and feels like the flagship phone it is. As expected, the easy data transfer wizard simply did not connect to my GrapheneOS phone. I had to set up the device as new, and now I start the process of manually moving things over. I'm okay with that; it provides an opportunity to reassess my installed apps and remove the non-essential. Thankfully, the automatic Google Fi eSIM transfer was seamless. https://file.nostrmedia.com/p/4eb88310d6b4ed95c6d66a395b3d3cf559b85faec8f7691dafd405a92e055d6d/f6564755238bf6dd652f068a3a65e51a8c8ff8e62bf89cadcc582907e16128b8.jpg #IKITAO #Tech npub1f6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4kslazcka Ava ॐ Living Colour - Cult Of Personality 🔊💜 https://file.nostrmedia.com/p/4eb88310d6b4ed95c6d66a395b3d3cf559b85faec8f7691dafd405a92e055d6d/0256659d0e092a84c4d620e60c54ceb4220d95b7c3ba5c52e533c58136fc6151.mp4 YT https://youtu.be/7xxgRUyzgs0 #LivingColour #Music
