Like others have noted, for signal do a backup using the built-in feature. Then wipe the apps storage to clear messages.

For SMS/MMS I have usedSMS Import/Export before to transfer that data between devices easily without any issues so it should work as well.

I would also make sure to enable the feature to disable USB when the screen is locked. Just in case you get TSA stopped & they take your device for any reason.

Wireguard could be helpful if you used a SSL terminating proxy in front of it but then you have to know the data format to parse it. So unless you are a researcher it is a long path ahead of you without any OOTB tools to do it for you.

Most cookies don’t store any data themselves. Instead it is a session/device token that tells googles servers what device is connecting and then they look up the data they have about you server side. Cookies can store more than that situationally but that is the most common use.

To get what data Google has on you check out Google takeout and you can get a “full” export of what data has been gathered.

So I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Generally in places like, I dunno, the military which is under the DOD which is under the executive branch. There is instruction to disobey an illegal order from higher ups. But according to the definition of employee here & the requirement of item 7.

I think that if the president ordered an illegal act (which he cannot be charged for from the supreme court) for the military to enact. Then as federal employees, these forms of recourse would no longer be applicable as everyone in the chain of command would be forced to use the presidents definition of legality until a court case could remove/block that authority.

I hope that I’m missing something here but I think this gives him much more power than the rest of the order claims to be covering.

It is amazing! A couple years ago I played through the Metroid series (not every game original/remake counted) and it was one of my top games. It did have one issue IMO, once you get the screw attack there is an expectation that you are familiar with how to use it, which as a new player, took me a very long time to get past. But other than that I loved my time with it & didn’t have any complaints!

As someone in a similar environment, there are others who care. It just isn’t worth the risk to my job & professional relationships to talk about. Most people who don’t care I won’t sway anyways and anyone who does care doesn’t need to talk to me. So, for the betterment of my family, I stay quiet at work. Outside of work though I’ll talk to my friends & anyone who will listen about the risks of the current regime.

Based on this added info I think it would be a major improvement. So I’d say go for it!

Honestly it largely depends on your main PC specs, but like you are hearing from others. It probably isn’t a good idea.

It is the largest reason. Storing the password is one thing but to make the device reasonable to use I would likely store the key’s in TPM with a backup key. I don’t think she would be technical enough to use the backup keys were something additional to happen.

I understand that giving the keys can partially solve the access problem. But she would still possibly be unable to use the device. Additionally, I don’t know that she would be capable of using the keys without additional assistance and we don’t have other techies in our community who could step up in that capacity.

I don’t for a pretty simple reason. I have a wife, if something ever happened to me then she could end up a creek without a paddle. So by not having it encrypted then, anyone kinda technical can just pull data off the drive.

In the sand

Also apparently cron works in termux, so it could all probably be scripted there.

I think you could get something working using termux to install and run ffmpeg on your phone. Then using an automation app, e.g. if this then that, you could run a script in termux to re-encode the files. And automate it at night while charging.

Not gonna lie that is kinda my hobby. Pick up other hobbies, learn a bunch get okay but not too much time sunk in, time for a new hobby.

Glofiber is great! I’ve used them for a few years now and they have been really reliable & easy to work with. If you do any self-hosting they do have double NAT but after a quick call to support I was able to get a public ip without any cost.

It’s a special edition so probably just scalpers

Hey Moonscars looks sick if you still have the key!

Holy cow, didn’t realize just how bad Microsoft is getting. That behavior is unjustifiable especially considering this is just for wallpapers.
