Maybe it’s the endpoint Syncthing uses for NAT traversal or fetching the relay list. Other than that I’m not sure but you could ask the developer, they respond to questions quickly.

I know I’m not directly answering your question but I switched from Catfriend’s last build to BasicSync. Sure, it doesn’t have the same bells and whistles as Syncthing Fork but importing worked fine and it’s been rock solid since. If you’ve ever used the Syncthing web UI on desktop you’ll be fine. Plus the developer is well known in the Android development circle.

This is it, what they’ve been wanting all along. You will no longer be able to access vast swathes of the internet unless you have a Google approved device, that is a Google-certified Android device with Google Play Services (aka Google Play Spyware) or an app on iOS. Use GrapheneOS or a Linux phone? No internet for you.

What I’d like to know is, what if you’re already accessing a site from your phone? And what if you genuinely don’t have another device? I’m assuming the answer to the second is you’re SOL.

Finally, repository specific access tokens were added! I was missing this feature from GitHub (fine-grained access tokens) and had resorted to making service accounts that had access to a single repo. Time to clean that up :)

Perhaps try Authnkey which is more recently updated. If that doesn’t work then some details like which security key you are using and over which protocol (USB or NFC) would be good to know.

Maybe people don’t care but some do. I am sure I am not alone in caring. I believe every user should have the right to know what is running on their system and where it came from. What they choose to do with that information is up to them.

I am able to access the data folder which is located in Internal storage/Android/media/com.whatsapp. This is without root using the AOSP files app, not sure if that’s what you meant.

For a second I thought this was The Onion. This is so dark and invasive but I can’t stop myself from laughing. It’s like they don’t even care to pretend anymore.

Absolutely. The general population is braindead when it comes to privacy and digital rights and it gets worse with newer generations as 24/7 connectivity and everything being online is the norm for them. As long as they can watch some social media slop they are satisfied. I believe the proliferation of AI will accelerate this as people delegate their critical thinking faculties to machines and accept big tech’s propaganda as gospel. Chatgippity knows best, right?

I really hate this timeline. 99% of companies pushing users into walled gardens. Governments and banks forcing people to use invasive apps that only work in those walled gardens. Slowly our control is eroded, yet your average user couldn’t care less as long as they get to watch their TikTok slop for a few hours a day.

Until a Linux phone becomes viable I’ll be using a rooted custom ROM and avoiding banking/government apps like the plague.

It can be implemented well but often isn’t. Likely eID will force you to use an mobile app (no website or Linux app, yay) that is only available on Apple’s app store or GPlay. And if you want to run a degoogled android ROM good luck with that when they force Play Integrity. Basically shoving everyone into either the Apple or Google walled garden along with the complementary spyware of both gardens and also screwing anyone who uses a non-smart phone either out of choice or circumstance.

A big ol’ steaming turd

Cool project! Does it support 2FA? I’d like to use a password and then either TOTP or FIDO, like Authelia does.

Perhaps worse than the 9 when it comes to wifi which has been downgraded from 7 to 6e. Will most users care? Maybe not, but I do.

Could you share the name of the company please?
