GrapheneOS supports disabling Wifi and Bluetooth after some inactivity.

I think it’s also possible to do this with the apps Tasker or Automate, but I’m not sure how much they are able to do and how privacy friendly they are.

The advantage of FreeTube is that if it doesn’t work, it can use an Invidious instance as a fallback.

If you mean the work profile:

1. The VPN does not apply to the work profile, i think the app that creates it needs to define a proxy or VPN, otherwise it’s a direct connection.

2. I think you can’t easily set up a VPN in the work profile, but I never tried it. If you used Instagram with a VPN up until this point, it might be good to continue using it. If you didn’t, don’t start now if you will stop using Instagram soon anyway.

3. You can “mount”/give permission to read specific folders of the main or work profile on the other one. It’s read-only. For example WhatsApp has an option to switch the image selection to the main profile when sending an image.

It’s better to use a custom domain or no alias at all for important personal stuff, but if your goal isn’t to be unidentifiable by the organization, then you can safely use your own name in the adresses. You will still have the advantage of spam control.

One downside I can think of is that the (government) organization will know that you use a particular aliasing service, which may be problematic in some situations.

(I understand the joke, please don’t explain it)

That’s why you use a VPN/proxy everytime everywhere, not to sound too paranoid.

Of course

The Google Pixel 4a is officially end-of-life and doesn’t get any software and security updates anymore (https://endoflife.date/pixel).

Looks like Discord will do a Reddit in the near future.

I recommend switching to Matrix.

I love the last panel. He’s waiting for a miraculous bit flip.
