42 key points of the secret #EUGoingDark surveillance plan for the new EU Commission
  • Don't assume that the European commissioners and their staffs know what they are doing or understand these matters. The depth of their collected knowledge could easily be documented in a single Powerpoint. And with not too many slides. And Ylva Johansson is well known for being both ignorant and utterly manipulated by lobbyists.

  • What privacy friendly app/service/stuff makes your life simpler?
  • Two I use a lot daily are KeePass 2 in various versions, computer as well as tablet. I used KeePass "original" 1 for years, but moved to 2/XC/DX. Occasionally also used for storing notes and not just passwords.

    My notetaker, all hands down, though. Joplin, with encryption activated, the file stored for syncing on my privacy oriented community's encrypted NextCloud. I am an avid notetaker, both digital and analogue, and Joplin really fits my needs.

    OK, third, honourable mention: Veracrypt

  • Don't plug random stuff into a computer to charge
  • Exactly. Which is why I have old fashioned earbuds with cable, and the moment I start travelling, I turn off my WiFi and if checking nail or messaging, I activate my sim card in the tablet.

  • Don't plug random stuff into a computer to charge
  • I never charge my phone directly in public places. Instead I charge a simple powerbank I have, that then charges the phone. No idea how easy it is for that one to "be contaminated and carry something over", but being simple, basically no features, just charging and a Led indicator, I suspect the chances are at least a lot less.

  • Mull vs Fennec

    I am having problems reaching Tuta through Mull on my Android (Mull 120.0.0, downloaded from f-Droid). Checking, I saw that Fennec is version 120.1.0.

    Just in general, does any of you peeps here have any takes on Mull vs Fennec when it comes to privacy? I have assumed both are on par and also comparable to LibreWolf on PC.

    Chat Control 2.0: EU governments set to approve the end of private messaging and secure encryption
  • I'm curious if only particular apps/software is going to be monitored this way? I mean, if I encrypt outside a messaging app like Signal or outside mail, using OTP, OpenPGP, AES-256or or something similar, or using a combination of VPN, Tor and Cryptpad för creating messages, meaning that when the message is entered into the monitored app, it is already encrypted?

  • Easy to remember passwords (sort of)

    Here is an example (no, not one I am using) of what a password of mine may look like: WW91IEtub3cgSG93IFRvIFNjYXJlIE1lIFNoaXRsZXNz And no, it is not hard to remember at all. I use offline, non-caching Base64 coders. https://www.base64decode.org #privacy #encryption #passwords

    Also wanted to test linking a Mastodon post of mine to my Lemmy account. If anything bungles up, sorry in advance!
