Removing by ADB is fine if you are able to identify which packages should be removed or if they’re already covered by Universal Debloater. You should also use Invizible Pro to control what connections are made and block trackers.

Gboard isn’t open source, which is why I disable internet access for it.

It isn’t a system app for my phone, so maybe. You could still use something like InviziblePro or RethinkDNS to disable its internet access without root though.

I use Gboard but with internet access disabled for it. I haven’t found a comparable open source keyboard yet.

Would “plus” addressing work for you? https://proton.me/support/creating-aliases

I don’t.

You can see what connections go through. No more than with GrapheneOS, and with stock I don’t have to trust the mentally unstable with my security.

Remove Google apps as part of the debloat process, restrict permissions beyond what Android allows by default for all system apps, using App Ops and Shizuku. Accomplishes the same thing as GrapheneOS.

You can make stock Android much more private. Universal debloat tool + Invisible Pro - remove unnecessary apps, restrict internet access to only the apps you want to have internet access, add a tracker blocker list.

Nobody cares what your rank in your school is. There’s no need to transfer if you’re at the bottom.

What onion address is that?

I think some of the content, like comments on other instances, remains. Overall, a small server disappearing shouldn’t have a major impact on the network as a whole.

There’s no need to be large though. There can be many many small servers.

Fixed:

I feel like everyone should have assumed this the second it was known this was a Chinese company…

It’s not as if the US doesn’t have access to data that US social media apps have.

I want to give it a try but it’s hard to justify the cost with limited searches. I don’t want to have to keep track of how many times I’ve searched or second guess if I “really need to search for that”.

Here are all the steps after installing Caddy to create a reverse proxy with SSL:

1. Open the /etc/caddy/Caddyfile file
2. Add the following, replacing the domain and port with those that you want to use.

subdomain.example.com {

  reverse_proxy localhost:8080

}

3. Restart Caddy with systemctl restart caddy

Happy cake day. I’ve never caught mine on either site lol

I need a few of those robots
