There are no alternative browsers out there. Our situation has came down to choose one of the least evil out there.

Same here. Just turned off all data collection checkboxes. Fuck Mozilla!

Nextcloud pod with Podman + Quadlet in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

This is on my todo list. I use Docker-compose for it's simplicity, but Docker is a security nightmare. If you are not careful, it would expose your Nextcloud instance to the whole world. Podman integrates nicely with firewalld which gives me zone based rules. Can't wait to do this. But I will give sometime to let Quadlet get stabilized and popular.

Your dumb phone is much insecure than a smartphone which has GrapheneOS or LineageOS. Your dumb phone certainly lacks secure 4G or 5G communication, cannot use e2e encrypted messaging platforms and cannot update firmware in case of security bugs.

Did you even read the article? 0-day vulnerabilities are not unique to WhatsApp. Even Signal can be exploited given it's complexity.

SimpleX is not a Signal fork. It is it's own protocol, service and app. It just utilizes Signal protocol for encryption like every good e2e encrypted messenger out there.

SimpleX allows anonymous identity, federation between servers and still a good UX.
