Should you open source either way. I'll check it out sometime

Could you explain a little more on what you mean by rss and scripts to get recommendations. I've never really messed with something like that. Any recomemended feeds or sum to look at.

Doesn't buying from bandcamp achieve both? You pay them all, and get a DRM free file.

I'm not really much understanding what's going on here. Your saying if I run this "gluetun" software and JUST have tailscale running on my device, all my traffic will still be routed thru mullvad. If so, will this greatly affect internet speeds? (Even the traffic not needed by tailscale is still routed thru)

I got other people on my network who prefer faster internet speeds over privacy, sadly. And I dont wanna be rude and just force them to do something they don't want to do. (Even if it's for the greater good)

Also attaching it to my router won't work when I'm out travelling or away from home.

Picard seems awesome btw.

Ownership as in its a file on my device, no DRM or whatever shit people have on files nowadays.

I download either bandcamp or sometimes from yt music.

Although I would appreciate recommendation feed that's private I know that's impossible.

I basically download songs anytime I get a recommendation or hear it somewhere. I usually listen for a while or add to a playlist. Very simple use case.

Private means I know and things I choose know what I listen to and others don't. I would also preferably like ownership of my music. I would consider not private something that uses my data for anything except necessities(no algo no selling)

Is there a way to use tailscale/similar software with mullvad aswell

 

What's your recommendation for listening to music privately?

My requirements are: open source desktop/web (Linux) and android app. I also want basically every song I would ever want.

I'm willing to pay just not on agregious amount of money.

If you are posting your recommendation please care to include the tradeoffs or any annoyances you got from it.

Thanks all!

I wonder if we could jailbreak Amazon's shitty ai to do it. If they gave us the text themselves then it's not piracy. What a revelation!

Super interesting! Thanks for letting us know.

i just got the newest one. Excuse me if im wrong, but dont the older ones have shorter software update lifespans?

 

Hey everyone! I'm making this post just to share my experience switching from iPhone to grapheneos. My experience may be a little different than others, because I was already using all open source apps if possible, so moving apps wasn't horrible.(only took me like 2 days.) Moving my imsg contacts to signal fucking sucks though. Especially when they say no, and you gotta coax them ugh.

To be honest apple's iOS 26 HORRENDOUS FUCKING DESIGN LANGUAGE in conjunction with a recent exploit that forced me to update or I would get malware was the primary reason for updating. I can't even express how badly iOS 26 fucked up my phone. Along with that i was tired of dealing with issues from side loading. It felt so delicate, and it broke at any minor change. The amount of issues I had with sidestore were absurd.

The general iPhone to android switch wasn't too bad. I prefer material ui over ios 26 and maybe a little more than iOS 18's. Back on my iPhone I had icloud, so deleting apps wouldn't wipe its data and it pissed me off so much sometimes. Being able to press clear data or cache was such insane peace of mind. The large app selection(even considering FOSS only) is also super nice.

The one thing that annoys me a lot about grapheme is alarms. All my profiles can't run in background, so I have to switch to owner so I can set an alarm before sleeping. (I have auto restart, so it always goes to owner in the morning.) Oh wait actually I think of more. Lower battery life than my iphone, notifications being used for persistence, file transfer troubles over cable, and having to use 3 Mullvad VPN devices, 1 for each of my profiles. If anyone knows how to use one Mullvad device across all my profiles, please let me know. Also I'm not used to the keyboard at all.

As said earlier, me not being apple pilled or being anymore than one layer into their ecosystem made switching easy as pie. Man I remember the first time I saw that graphene boot screen on a fresh pixel I felt so cool; the first boot home screen is genuinely so clean. Just staring at that black wallpaper with 4 apps is just so calming i don't know. Although I switched to kiss launcher(its fucking perfect), I still like going to that original homescreen to look sometimes.

I would say in general the greatest boon of switching was peace of mind. My phone did what was documented and what the apps I chose did. On my old phone I couldn't trust anything. Gosh, its so nice! If anyone was interested in purchasing a device I hope my experience was interesting to you. Attached is a photo of my homescreen, if anyone is interested.

Sorry about messy grammar or ordering of information. I kinda rushed to make this post

 

To be clear this is not a real product or whatever I would just be interested in people's thoughts.

Do you think you would like privacy focused smart goggles? Eg: no camera/hardware camera lock, all on device intelligence, signal support, idk what else you guys can leave ideas in the comments.

 

Is it still viable to use Signal for privacy in 2026? It's centralized, and has had many suspicious occurrences in the past.(Unopen source server code, careless whisper exploit which is still active as far as I know, and the whole mobile coin situation.)

Thoughts?

Feel free to give me any feedback!

 

Dopes anyone know any good mobile app frameworks that are open source. I would like to be able to develop from windows, but move over to a mac (I own one) when I build for IOS. I want raw NATIVE ui provided by SwiftUI and whatever android has (material design I think).

 

I’m calling it 🙌

I personally love proton pass’s frontend app, but i don’t wanna host my data on proton’s servers(personal reasons). Is there any other password managers that support iOS, android, and browser extension, that is as good. (I tried bitwarden wasn’t good cuz on mobile I had to reenter master pass over and over. I tried keypassxc, but the frontend sucks and dealing with syncing between devices is a pain in the ass.) I appreciate everyone’s help!
