  • In practice, yes. IF IMPLEMENTED PROPERLY it would be extremely unlikely for an attacker to get in.

    For example with a proper implementation of TOTP it would require an attacker to guess the correct number between 0 and 999999 in less than half a minute. Most services make you wait a little bit (often less than humans notice) between attempts and don’t allow infinite attempts, so an attacker would have to be unimaginably lucky.

    There are sadly lots of huge companies that DON’T IMPLEMENT 2FA PROPERLY. Sony Entertainment (account for PlayStation) for example. So a unique and long password is still important.



  • DoidFS can use the camera to take photos and record video. It gets stored in the vault instead of your camera roll. This ensures that other apps never get access to the photo/video, even if they have “all-files access”.

    Several other apps does some version of this. If you have tried to export a photo from Signal to your camera roll, you have probably seen this before.

    DroidFS does not ask for camera permission unless you try to use this feature. The app does not need the camera for anything else, so if you don’t allow it to use the camera everything else still works.




  • I’m Norwegian. I feel like we are bribing all of you with a 10 dollar bill in hopes that you don’t ask why we are sitting on a pile of 100 dollar bills. As a large exporter of oil and gas we make shitloads of money from fucking up the planet on several levels. So much of what we sell end up as microplastics, air pollution or worse.

    We also make money on war.

    The invasion of Ukraine affected the prices and made us an EXTRA 150000000000 USD just in 2022. Many Norwegians wanted to give it to Ukraine but we ended up keeping it. It’s disgusting.



  • Yeah, I should be using GrapheneOS. It is the better OS. I absolutely agree. I just don’t like the hardware.

    I want a small (max 71 mm width) phone with lots of local storage, a 3.5mm port, card slot, replaceable battery, optical fingerprint sensor, plastic back, IR port and wireless charging.

    I understand that I can’t get all of this in 2025, but I’m trying to at least get as much as possible. That’s why I’m probably going to end up getting a Fairphone 6 when it comes out and use CalyxOS.




  • I’m also looking for this. I’ll probably end up buying a Fairphone 6 when it comes out and use CalyxOS, but I have looked at alternatives.

    These require using LineageOS:

    The Asus Zenfone 8 is from 2021. It’s 148 x 68.5 x 8.9 mm and has ok specs. I don’t do anything demanding anyway.

    The Sony Xperia 5 V is from 2023. It’s 154 x 68 x 8.6 mm and has good specs, but is expensive.

    The Samsung Galaxy S10e is from 2019. It’s 142.2 x 69.9 x 7.9 mm and has below average specs (compared to modern phones). This is my favorite phone. I used this before my current one and miss it so much. I should have just changed the battery. I would pay lots of money for an S10e with a modern, more energy efficient processor and higher density battery.
