Privacy

The GrapheneOS project has announced on X that they are ceasing all operations in France, asserting that the country is no longer safe for "open source privacy projects".

While the operating system will still be available to French users, all website and discussion servers are being relocated abroad.

Until now, the project relied on OVH Bearharnois, a French hosting provider, for its core website and social media services. The migration plan moves the Mastodon, Discourse, and Matrix instances to a combination of local and shared servers in Toronto. Critical website infrastructure will be hosted by Netcup, a German‑based company.

This link is a list of non-corporate servers providing email, XMPP, cloud storage, and other services with more of a focus on user privacy.

Are there any other browsers you could recommend apart from Vivaldi and LibreWolf that don't have any AI crap added to them?

Tenfingers sharing protocol

To test out the tenfingers protocol in a real world use case, I made a small html/js entrypoint for tenfingers (.10f) files.

Security is of course a concern with downloading things inside a javascript on a web page, so there are restrictions on how it can be used.

If you want to try it out, and give some feedback I'd be quite happy!

To do so:

Go to this link where you can download the html & js code (3 files) and a tenfingers test link.

Put them all in a temporary folder, and open the download.html file in your favorite browser, from there you can 'load' the 10f file.

The code is slow, does not give much details of what's happening (hit F12 and check the 'console' tab (Firefox, other browsers might vary) or just check CPU usage (decryption is slow) so please be patient.

And please please report back, especially if something or nothing seems to work!

Cheers & thanks!

I'm a frequent contributor to OSM, along with being passionate about individual privacy. Adding Flock cameras to the map has become a new hyperfixation for me. The best part is that when tagged correctly, they appear on deflock.me along with OSM. It's a simple way to help your community know when they're around these dystopian ALPR cameras. Deflock also has an app, although I cannot attest for it - I believe that it dumps the data into OSM too, so it may be better suited for those without OSM experience.
