Encrypted 🤐

  • I'll take a look at this. Is there any downsides to private trackers?

  • Cool! I'll definitely check that out. Thanks!

  • Public I assume, I'm pretty new to torrenting and haven't really dove into private trackers yet. Any resources your recommend on reading up on that?

  • Well, from what I understood, in the privacy subreddit people were getting into it over Graphene OS and other privacy android OS's. During this, I guess the Devs (or dev) we're very petty or something and causing unnecessary in-fighting. Icould be telling this wrong but its something along those lines... To be clear, i think the actual rule is you cant specifically mention ANY 3rd party android OS, not just Graphene.

  • Great. Thanks for clarifying!

  • I assume renames affect the "exact" part of it right?

  • Ah okay. That would make sense. I assume this does require the actual torrent file though or does this also work by using the magnet link and doing the same process?

  • Nice! One commenter did point point some important context though. I recommend reading the "EDIT" at the bottom of my post plus a comment from someone named @ashaman2007 or something like that. Just to make sure you get the full context of how this actually works! I wasn't fully aware when first posting.

  • Thanks for sharing! This also kind of clears up my confusion that I mentioned I'm the EDIT at the end of my post. I was wondering what the real benefit to this is but it seems like a password as the main with the pin and bio as the secondary seems to provide:

    • Main unlock: More. Secure with password?
    • Secondary unlock: "quicker" but also secure due to the pin with the bio.

    Is this more or else the right idea?

  • Oh nice. Do you know if the lockdown option encrypts the phone?

    From what I read, I believe on initial boot up, the phone is encrypted before first unlock but no longer after.

  • Makes sense. Also wasn't aware of "IANAL" and was hesitant to google but got it. Thanks lol

  • Same here. Although I have no real reason with my threat level. But I could see how it could be relevant for some people. I also liked the idea because regular people could potentially use your thumb print when sleeping or something so this stops that Initial unlock.

  • True. I didn't really consider the connection and more of the security side. I'm sure it differs but do you know if proof of ownership make a difference if they catch you with it in possession in the first place?

  • Sorry. Tried to make the title short and concise. Maybe wasn't very clear. Lol

  • Oh for sure. Fuck these big companies. Unfortunately some offer services that just can't be beat yet by open source/privacy companies.

  • Been there lol. I think it's a common thing for privacy newcomers. Not focusing on threat level and instead trying to optimize every bit. It got me too.

  • I know I could probably just google it but for the sake of contributing to this discussion and my curiousity, what exactly is neoliberalism?

  • A better way to word this is "Next will be your privacy journey which will send you down an inifinte rabbit hole that you consumes you".

    Lol no but seriously, it's a fun rabbit hole, but can get out of control if you're not careful.

  • Good catch thanks. I stopped at the commercial since it was the firat immediate tell of source available I saw. Maybe I put this post in the wrong community then.
