I’ve also received a letter about seeding a torrent when I was in Germany in early 2010s. I went to see a legal aid lawyer, who was almost free, and he already had a prewritten letter saying that basically I was sorry and that I should come back if I received another letter.

The first letter said that if I didn’t pay within a few days, they would start a very expensive legal procedure. About a month later, I received a reminder, so I went back to the lawyer. This time, his letter said that I wasn’t able to pay the amount and that I should come back if I received another letter.

I never received anything after that. So, based on my experience, I agree: it’s all bark and no bite.

From what I understood you need statistical tests to detect the watermark. You cannot easily detect by eyeballing that a coin will land on heads 55% of the time instead of 50%

That’s my feed! Hahaha I didn’t check the username

Are you prototyping for the person after you? 😁

Sounds like Punkt MP02 which has its own Signal client, but I’ve never seen any real feedback on it

Strong Martin Paar vibes 😆

Edit: Sorry for the duplicate comment, my connection was unstable, I think that’s why

The main difference is that GrapheneOS focuses on hardened security (sandboxed Google Play Services, their own browser Vanadium, etc.) and only runs on Pixels, CalyxOS stays closer to stock AOSP, prioritizes privacy with things like microG as a Google services replacement and supports more devices like the Fairphone and some Motorolas

I’m in the same boat. They suggest Seedvault, which I haven’t tried yet. I’ll do the factory reset when I don’t crucially need my phone, I’ll take it as an opportunity to declutter a bit. I don’t need much for a functional setup. The painful part will be manually re-entering the config for my WebDAV server. Definitely not ideal, though.

To be fair I’ve used both and I get the complaints aimed at each philosophy. At some point, I’m just grateful these projects exist at all and for free. Personally I still think microG is nice to have, flaws and all. My Motorola lasts four days on one charge and I have a gut feeling that not having Play Services constantly running is part of why. Either way you’re better off than stock

What is wrong with WireGuard?

I’m extremely satisfied with mailbox.org!

They support all standard email protocols (IMAP, POP3, SMTP) even Sieve for server-side filters, so you can use any mail client you prefer rather than being locked into official apps. They offer CardDAV for contacts and CalDAV for calendars, and their drive can be mounted via WebDAV.

Pricing is reasonable and personal domains are supported.

Isn’t Tuta based in Germany anyway?

I love the light contrast and the texture! What do you use OP?
