If they’re incidental to some other thing you are filming, probably ok but consider blurring their faces prior to publication.

If filming as evidence, consider not uploading or sharing unless you have exhausted other avenues of getting that evidence to the relevant people.

True, though curiously if you appear with a big camera people respond far better than to a phone camera, despite the familiarity of the latter.

You could try NextDNS. It won’t let you designate access per app, but you can create custom blocklists. Short-term logging makes it easy to see at a glance which domains are being requested, and it doesn’t take long to get it all set up so that your apps only contact stuff which is strictly necessary in your view. Also comes with many blocklists to choose from, as well as other useful settings.

Also thought to be linked to the names of many great rivers. Danube, Dan, Don, etc.

Forgot to ramble earlier, so have this scant link instead.

Looking forward to a photographic journal of learning to build similar walls on LallyLuckFarm.

You know it is going to happen.

Great news, and looks like some EU institutions and Germany are gearing up to do similar, which should encourage other countries & organisations to follow, and massively expand open source development.

How dystopian.

It has never occurred to me to do either of those things, and apparently hasn’t to anyone I’m in contact with either.

Though I don’t use group chats or send files in Signal either, so there’s that.

SMS is my primary mode of contact with the rest if the world. I use Signal as well, but most people I know only use SMS.

Start sending invites to Signal. Setting up group chats can help too, as invitations to those create mild FOMO in the mind of the invitee, then once they have the app they can use it for things besides group chats.

“When you connect your phone to the car via bluetooth or usb your phone will trust the car and hand over the data.”

USB charging I can understand, but seems odd that phones do not block data transfers (besides that needed to manage charging) unless the user explicitly permits it.

I guess people use Bluetooth to connect to car speakers, but again, why are the phones being so permissive with what they send?

Bit behind the times here, but how are cars even accessing this information, unless the phone is built into the car system, and the user has an cellular/data/wi-fi account with the car manufacturer?

Point is, one can decrypt each email individually. That slows an malicious attacker rummaging in your device from finding what they are after as much as it does you.

You wouldn’t be alone in wanting this feature, but for those who need rather than prefer to encrypt, the option to store locally in plaintext is a major risk. On balance it seems better for developers to pay heed to that than to our preferences.

For the rest of us, we can download the emails we wish to refer to with ease, or we can create aides memoire to make it easy to locate specific emails later.

Just as it inconveniences you to have to decrypt to search, it would similarly slow down anyone malicious who gains access to your machine.

Am in favour of allowing users to decide which features are best for their needs, but this seems like it would be easy to forget to reinstitute local encryption after a search, so can also understand why developers prevent storing in plaintext.

Be quite amusing if we could poison their well by persuading a great many people to send in samples from other life forms.

Probably easier, cheaper & faster to make their data unusable via other means though.

Or like someone just got smacked upside of their head.

If it were me, I’d use that browser solely for FB. Firefox allows one to have multiple instances. Harden it as much as you can whilst still able to use the bits of FB you’re interested in.

Garmin sell these beacon devices, which can be used to either check in with relatives, or to summon help to their location.

They’re expensive, and intended more for people heading into remote areas, but might give you both some peace of mind, without tracking his every move.

Lot of mine seem to have these, possibly even all that were purchased in the last few years.

No idea if this is due to regulations.
