A non-techie relative of mine told me about images being sent to wrong people and them asking why they sent the photo. I first assumed it was just user error but apparently that's quite a bit data leak on signals side.


If you cannot google for exploits using the name it's safe. Checkmate hackers.

Security through anonymity?


My OnePlus 3 phone just got its last security patch and is now out of support from the manufacturer.

I use bluetooth constantly for my smartwatch and headphones.

I think it's time for custom firmware just because of this. Goodby banking apps and Google Pay, because apparently a newer but unofficial OS is more insecure [1].

You can usually still pass safetynet with latest magisk, even on custom Roms. Go check the xda forums and you might find that.

It's unreliable by definition. You're better off keeping a device around with the stock OS on it, that you only use for SafetyNet-required stuff.


I know there are means to defeat safetynet but honestly I was glad not to tweak my phones anymore and happy without a rooted firmware.

I remember the times of endless tweaking and patching after some Google Play services update a few years ago.


Unfortunately, there is no easy way to enable IPv6 for docker when you have a dynamic IPv6 prefix (home ISP).


That is basically freifunk. It is a openwrt router firmware with open wifi and all traffic is routed through VPN outside of Germany to circumvent the legal bullshit.


Sounds like bufferbloat to me. Tried using smart queue management like fq_codel on your end? Or is it an overloaded LTE cell?


Not sure if bufferbloat, but happens across multiple machines and system versions (I can saturate the link with one machine, the others will still suffer). But it may be an issue with the LTE router. I don't think I can do anything about it as it is totally locked down by the ISP.


Dslreports speedtest publishes the results publicly: http://speedtest.dslreports.com/


They appear to only publish it by ISP. Part of my problem is not knowing comprehensively what ISPs serve my area, so I need to look it up by zip code or city.


All invites gone!


Could I get one? New to HN - is there a PM page....?


Thanks so much! This is really exciting.


I would be really grateful!


I would like one, please!
