This is the second layoff at Mozilla this year, the first affecting dozens of staff on the side of the organization that builds the popular Firefox browser.
* Aurora Store: the inofficial PlayStore client has been added on special request. At IoD it's one of the #reproducibleBuilds 🛡️ * Aegis: the 2FA app has been added at special request, too * OpenBible: download & read the bible in different languages 🛡️
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
@leeloo F-Droid describes itself as decentralized and stresses the importance to not be "locked into F-Droid as the monopoly app provider" (see: f-droid.org/en/2022/02/05/dece…) – so we help with that. Furthermore, several apps have #reproducibleBuilds at IoD but not there (e.g. Aurora Store). IzzyOnDroid performs extra checks (see: android.izzysoft.de/articles/n…). So this increases security and also resilience. Also, some people prefer one place and others the other, developers included 😉
Nachdem der Library-Scanner nun seit mehreren Jahren im IzzyOnDroid Repo im Einsatz ist war es an der Zeit, einige zusätzliche APK-Prüfungen zu etablieren.
🗳️ 🇺🇸 Election Day is an official holiday here at Adafruit. All employees have a paid day off so they can get out and vote, or volunteer for poll working, etc !

I'm on a social media fast, which is why you haven't heard much from me, but I did want to share one cool thing. Our stuff has been 8-bit RGB for a while, but it's increasingly clear that's not going to cut it in an HDR world. Inspired by bevy_color and some conversations, I've started a color crate: github.com/linebender/color
If you're into color, I'd love your feedback. If you use color in Rust, let me know whether this crate would be useful, or what might be changed.

Zmizeli beze stopy. Tragédii hokejových reprezentantů stále halí záhada
Přesně před sto lety, 5. listopadu 1924, se narodil český hokejový útočník Karel Stibor. Mistr světa z roku 1947 a stříbrný medailista z olympiády o rok později byl jednou z obětí leteckého neštěstí, při kterém zemřelo i pět jeho parťáků. Připomeňte si jednu z největších tragédií v historii českého sportu.

Not only are they Chromium based and thus IMO shouldn't be included if vanilla Chromium is in the list, but they also have their weird crypto stuff and the CEO has A LOT of problematic views.
I'm not really fond of including it due to the founders homophobic past.
The argument of not including it because it's Chromium falls short in my opinion as DuckDuckGo and Privacy Browser are included, which on Android use System WebView (likely Chrome WebView). WebView is a lot less secure then a Chromium based browser.
I believe Firefox based browsers are also less secure on Android due to not having Per-Site Process Isolation.
Brave is a valid option because it is one of the few (or only) open source chromium browsers that has a built in ad/content-blocker, uses proper anti-fingerprinting protections, has extra privacy features, and benefits from the chromium security. I underastand the concerns regarding the crypto crap, but those can be turned off. That being said it is a valid option, especially for newbies.
Here's some changes It'd suggest: - Add @organicmaps to the gmaps alternatives. it's by far the easiest osm based maps app - Add @ente auth for google auth alternatives. it's much more feature rich and it's foss - add @kagihq to the search engines. They're privacy respecting * one small note is that they do utilize google as one of it's search indexes that it uses, so you'd still be giving google some money technically (had to mention it)
Why are you recommending Authy, a very shitty service, but not Organic Maps and Obtainium for .apk updates?
For browsers there is Mulch and Mull from DivestOS, which are forks of Chromium and Firefox respectively or Brave. Either of which would be much better than Fennec, Privacy Browser, or Firefox from a privacy or security perspective.
Because most web developers don't seem to build websites with Firefox users in mind, there are a good number of websites that function poorly in Firefox.
So, for the users seeking an alternative that don't want to use Firefox, I'd say include an open source Chromium-based browser. There are none that are convenient, except Brave and Chromium itself. But Chromium would be defeating the purpose.
Unfortunately, the majority of people care more about convenience than anything else.
@adam_wysokinski /e/OS is an extraordinarily insecure operating system massively rolling back security even more than LineageOS already does. It completely destroys the security model and is always at least a year behind on providing full privacy/security patches. CalyxOS is problematic for security, LineageOS is far more problematic but /e/OS is an extreme form of that comparable to you recommending people use Windows 8 because it's not from Google.
Some recommendations: - Add ente auth from @ente instead of Authy. - Add proton pass from @protonprivacy to the password manager section. - Add mullvad browser from @mullvadnet to the browser section. - Also add @brave too since even if it is based on chromium it is still better than using chrome. - Add divestos.org/ to the alternative os section.
What’s wrong with Chromium? Browsers based on it use a robust sandbox and enhanced security measures. According to @GrapheneOS recommendations, we should "avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they're currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface". grapheneos.org/usage#web-brows…
Your current list includes 5 web browsers where 3 of them completely lack even a content sandbox due to being based on Firefox for Android and the other 2 are based on Chromium. DuckDuckGo and Privacy Browser are WebView-based browsers using the system WebView implementation, which is provided by the OS with a Chromium-based browser engine. On Android operating systems including the Google apps and services, DuckDuckGo and Privacy Browser are directly using Google Chrome itself.
Chromium shows that the browser itself is alright, it's the figurative "last 5%", where Google adds proprietary features to create Chrome, that taints the well.
Also, for people who are trying to promote cancel culture towards Brave, there are also great people at Brave, such as @bcrypt.
No cos it's run by a homophobe, it contains shady crypto nonsense that add their own ad service, and it's overall controversial, making it safer for you to not include them. Their ad system makes a lot of money to Brave, but it does not to the users nor to the websites. I'd say it's scummy. Apparently the broswer also automatically added affiliate link to purchases. Affiliate links enable tracking.
Hi. I just realised you have a typo on this image - it’s Ecosia - you have an extra s. You need to fix it on the blog too where you mention Google services’ alternatives: it’s on the image again - the name of the search engine . Thank you for the great post 🙏🏼
Wild ass day in the Tor node operator world. Got an email from my VPS, forwarding a complaint from WatchDog CyberSecurity saying that my box was scanning SSH ports!
> Oh no, oh no, I knew I should have set up fail2ban, oh god why was I so lackadaisical!
So I remote in to the machine: no unusual network activity, no unusual processes, users, logins, command history, no sign that anything is doing anything I didn't tell it to do.
So what's up? Turns out there's been a widespread campaign where some actor is spoofing IPs to make it look like systems running Tor are scanning port 22: forum.torproject.org/t/tor-rel…
Operators from all over are saying they're getting nastygrams from their VPS providers because WatchDog is fingering their source IPs (which are being spoofed and NOT part of a global portscanning botnet).
It would be hard to explain to Verizon I run Tor relays since they technically don't allow servers. I hope I'm not forced onto AT&T Internet Air as my particular co-op rental unit won't let met get Spectrum even when other units can, not that I wante…

#PSA: if you have a small business that ships items, consider not using Uline: the owner uses the company's profits to fund right wing anti-democratic causes.
Uline is a purposely political company aligned with extreme right-wing ideology. Despite their politics, millions of small businesses and artists still use ULINE completely unaware of what their dollars are supporting. This needs to end now.

"Disposable vapes are indefensible. Many, or maybe most, of them contain rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, but manufacturers prefer to sell new ones. More than 260 million vape batteries are estimated to enter the trash stream every year in the UK alone. Vapers and vape makers are simply leaving an e-waste epidemic to the planet's future residents to sort out."
