Hello everyone, I'm an user of Piped and Libretube for Youtube. I love being de-Googled. But what's the major difference (excluding metadata) about using Youtube only from browser (with Security-Privacy oriented browser, auto-deleted cookies per tab, without account) vs using Piped?

Thanks.

 

Hello everybody! I can say I'm a newbie at Linux. Wanted to ask about Linux' task viewers. On the famous task viewers such as bpytop, htop etc., can viruses hide from them? Excluding the injected codes, can virus & tracker/logger softwares hide from classic task viewers of Linux? Do they show all kinds of services and running tasks?

is CSSs safe? (lemmy.world)

Hello friends, I am using custom css' on my Librewolf. Downloaded FF-ULTIMA and it looks cool. I have looked at its all .css files as stranger for css. As far as my view, there is no problem but can these css files cause any security or privacy vulnerability? Like, being injectable or the creator of theme can track us or not? It may seem a funny question but idk much about css language. Just wanted to asking. Am I safe with it?

Thanks for much detailed comment. That helped me alot and answered all of the questions from my head. Eventually, I am not a criminal or activist. Looks like its secure and private enough. At least there is some eyes as Meta, Google etc. I will mind self-hosting. Thank you again for your labor. Goodbye.

+Visited the AUR site of Arch about librewolf-bin. Executed commands that pinned user recommended. But there is another error.

Used commands

gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --search-keys 031F7104E932F7BD7416E7F6D2845E1305D6E801

gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --search-keys 662E3CDD6FE329002D0CA5BB40339DD82B12EF16

The error for both commands

gpg: error searching keyserver: Connection closed in DNS

gpg: keyserver search failed: Connection closed in DNS

Do I have anything to do with my ISP? Or only local problem?

 

Hello guys! I have done a fresh install of Arch Linux with KDE. The first thing to do was downloading Librewolf but there is an issue. I used an installation way that is without an AUR helper. And the package named librewolf-bin. System updated, git command executed, changed directory to librewolf-bin, executed the makepkg -si. But it couldn't verify PGP signatures.

I mean fail as error. Like, I did something wrong at commands. I haven't verificated the iso about its valid or not. That's the thing I'm worried about. I asked can I verify with other ways without the iso. But I decided to do clean re-install. Thanks for comment. Goodbye.

Better guarantee it haha. I did nothing except using unnecessary documents and surfing on the net. And maybe some games. I used archinstall for it but now, I will set it up customized and nonscript. Maybe fresh restart would be better. Thanks for the help again. Goodbye!

So sorry for labor. There is a lacking information by me. I created the bootable at my previous OS, so there is no same .iso file. Only extracted version on my USB and installed version that is running on my PC. Can I see the mirror source from the extracted version?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (5 children)

Oh, I didn't know that. I just downloaded iso and iso.sig then used gpg commands. The thing I'm worried about is, maliciousy chance of the iso. I probably used German or French mirror to download the iso. Then, failed the verification. I am using unverificated iso's Arch Linux now. Can I know if I had any tracker, keylogger or mining software etc. ? Usage is normal and smooth as how it have to be. But idk.. Just worried. I still have the same bootable USB that the iso was extracted into. I have a FreeDOS unnecessary PC. Can I verificate the bootable by executing any verification command while I'm at the installation process? Or, can I verify or check my operating system's originality at post-installation era of my main PC? Thanks for comment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I did download and set the bootable at my previous OS, Fedora. Now the iso is not reachable and I forgot the mirror that I downloaded from. I still have the usb card I used for installation. Can I do any verification over it? Thanks for reply and relaxing info.

 

Hello guys, I'm using Arch as a newbie. Learning about it. But worried about a thing. When I was creating the bootable media for install it, I downloaded the .iso and .iso.sig from any mirror that is near. I followed the things about verification of .iso but I got some errors and gave up. Just used the iso I didn't verificated. I am using the OS that iso installed. There is nothing wrong with usage. I can access all the things about Arch, not had any problems and any performance issues. No special internet usage, no broken things etc. but I'm a bit worried about is there any malicious software such as keyloggers, mining softwares... Can I verify my Arch after the installation? Can I see if there is any software malicious via htop-bpytop? Should I create the bootable media again with verification and reinstall my Arch?

It has end-to-end encryption for messages and its clear. But, I haven't looked at their source code yet and don't know which types data they send. Not only contacts, maybe more spesific things that is not encrypted. Just wanted to know it. But its exact that they give our numbers for verification. Thanks for comment. Goodbye.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

It is a bit complex but at least we can say its safer than Meta. Still looking for sources and if I find something clear, I will add here for other Lemmiers. Thank you and Goodbye.

Thanks for reply. I know I can't be totally free from Google. I mean de-Googled as the packages and direct services. My phone model is don't compatible with popular Custom ROMs like Graphene, Lineage, Calyx and /e/ etc. And don't want to use unofficial ones. I mind buying a compatible phone or Pixel. Thanks for advice. Goodbye.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yes, I did updates and I'm updating my system 3 days to 3 days. I tried all ways that is possible for me. Tried the bin version and normal version. Used yay too. I will delete Librewolf and try it again. Will add the error message. Thanks for your comment. Goodbye.

What type of Services? And do Signal use our contacts or something private like that for third-parties?

 

Hi guys, I was looking for matrix.org's and Element Client's privacy policies and I saw something that says Matrix and Element shares data with AWS (Amazon Web Service), Cloudflare, Mythic Beasts, UpCloud. Is it safe to use? The matrix.org has good features as FOSS, decentralized etc. But this seem a lil bad. Any experts about prviacy?

 

Can't download Librewolf in Arch Linux + KDE Plasma 6

I'm trying to download it from AUR but it gives me error about gpg and closed DNS. Can't import the keys.

 

As a newbie Arch user, I got bored to use Gnome or KDE. I want to use Hyprland as my desktop environment. Like what I see at social media. But there is different ways to download it as far as I see. Somethings called Hyprdots, additional things like Waybar etc. and these making me confused. How can I download it and make it look like as the things I saw on the Internet? Don't want to be wannabe, just I don't know how to set it up.

 

I was Nobara user, then I am using Fedora right now. I want to use things like Hyprland etc. and ya know, Its damn cool to say I am using arch btw. So I've decided to use Arch Linux. But everyone says its always breaking and gives problems. That's because of users, not OS.. right? I love to deal with problems but I don't want to waste my time. Is Arch really problemful OS? Should I use it? I know what to do with setup/ usage, the hardness of Arch is not problem for me but I am just concerned about the mindset "Arch always gets broken".

I want to stop using Samsung. But I can't install any custom ROM to my phone. My phone is Samsung Galaxy A51 4G. Is there a way to use Lineage OS via stable updates or any other ROMs.
