Tried the Privacy Activist and Enthusiast section. Was not really fun and you loose connection to most of your friends and family. Now I have a balanced setup with something out of each layer. Perfect balanced, as things should be

I have no banking apps on that phone, sorry. So I don’t know if they work.

It’s pretty solid. I use it daily and don’t have any big problems. Install is simple. Just install adb and fastboot from your linux repository. This should cover the most of the installation requirements.

Paypal, Volksbank VR Pay/ Sparkasse or any other supported bank maybe. Privacy friendly? Good luck….

I forgot to mention. You can obviously self host it. Server and client are open source.

I personally switched to Ente.io for shared photo albums. Works great. Encrypted, cheap and you don’t have to make an account as a guest user. I highly recommend that you give it a try. Also if you want to (opt-in). It got on device AI/ML for face and object recognition.

Just hold Side button and one of the volume buttons to deactivate biometrics

On Linux you can use https://libimobiledevice.org/ for backups and management.

Very specific…… sus

Waiting for the news “Google deleted users account, now they lost access to their passkeys and with that to all other services” It can only be a matter of days until it happens.

You can encrypt your /home separate with another password.

Isn’t the GPU used for the application defined by the monitor it is opened on and on which GPU this monitor is then connected to?

I use portmaster on my fedora instance. I disabled blocking all from LAN and made a custom rule set to allow some devices and block all others.

Imagine Apple shares a patch and the UK does not approve the install. Ok nice. Now everyone knows a vulnerability that affects most of the Apple devices in UK. What could go wrong.

You don’t have to self host it. It works like TeamViewer. You install it on both the client and host and with the ID and Password you can then access your remote client. But if you want more control/privacy you can host your own relay server.

RustDesk. Also possible with selfhost servers.

Beeper is maybe an alternative. It is basically a matrix bridge. But not only for WhatsApp, also for signal and iMessage and many more. (Now in Beta, later 10$ a month subscription) https://www.beeper.com
