I still prefer firefox for other reasons

I still use Reddit but I prefer lemmy

Jeez not wiping the server

Mfw you think mass surveillance is so scary

It seems like they collect the data from big tech and not directly from the users.

Depends what mean by owning a gun but some people are so insecure about their personal safety that they probably want one

Idk but it’s a work computer I suppose

One thing it should note that most Linux distros does not encrypt the boot volume

I suppose it’s easier to access the cloud storage than the phone given how secure the iPhone is and with lockdown mode, it’s even harder.

You know some people like to hack real people’s phone for fun

Ok

Yes Apple has their iCloud key, if you live in China, the key is controlled by the Ccp, potentially dangerous for abuse from lea, highly recommend not to use Apple devices if you live there. The other problem is if they same set of keys for global users that it is possible to crack encryption for global users using the same keys, hence compromising security if one day Ccp want to access to the files of some American’s phone through iCloud.

The thing they could do is block the servers of Meta or route to tor for anything sent to meta.

The only thing it improves is data security which can in some extent resist against identity theft, financial fraud, etc. Does having an eSIM card improve my data security?

Yes, there are significant security benefits. An eSIM card cannot be stolen without stealing the phone, whereas removable SIM cards are sometimes stolen, and used in port out scams. That’s when identity thieves fraudulently swap stolen SIM cards into different phones to gain access to the victim’s calls and text messages. The thieves may then try to reset credentials and gain access to the victim’s financial and social media accounts.

Tutanota first use the user password to generate an AES key using BCrypt, that AES key is then used to encrypt the private key. The encrypted private key and hashed AES key is then sent to the server, hence the server does not store nor know the private key and the hashed AES key is used to authenticate the user. It uses SHA256 for hashing, it’s safe because the hashing algorithm is one way only and not reversible, meaning you can’t convert the hash to the password but only the other way around the password can generate the hash, so even the server is compromised it doesn’t gain access to your password.

Proton Mail uses PGP which depends on which cipher both recipient and sender, sharing PGP keys are also problematic. PGP doesn’t encrypt subject line but Tutanota does. Tutanota uses AES-128 and RSA-2048 for their encryption and uses AES-128 for external encrypted email which Tutanota and Proton Mail also supports.

Subject lines and recipient/sender email addresses are encrypted but not end-to-end encrypted for Proton Mail.

I use Tutanota instead of Proton Mail.

The problem is that it doesn’t support secure boot
