This may look like a weird question btw.
I see constantly people here worried about digital security, I see people using Tor, deleting social networks, and just sharing the different levels of security that they use.
So I was wondering, how safe is Lemmy? Sure it doesnt collect info like Twitter and Meta does, but that doesnt mean its 100% safe. So what are the main problems we can have here? Is there anything the 3 letter agencies could exploit? Is there any preventive measures users could take?
Use diceware for root keys. https://diceware.dmuth.org/ is a nice demonstration but you should use physical dice.
If you are on a mobile machine then isn’t it inconvenient to have to use a specially configured router? What do you do?
I guess I don’t understand the context. Let me ask , are you asking what do you if you’re using a mobile device and don’t have access to a router?
I’m saying let’s say your device is already configured to run Tor. But then you go out somewhere and want to connect to wifi of a business or relative who’s router you don’t own.
Ok , so there is a really cool product called , tailsscale https://tailscale.com/ This is amazing , basically you can install this on any computer or server and mobile device. It is a p2p VPN , real quick … example… I install this on my home server right , then I install another client on a mobile device like a phone. I can now connect to my server IP’s address on my server. I have this setup also.
It wants your email and stuff to sign up tho…
yeah that’s fine, the reason why you need an email is because that is what your using for your domain. so for instance only users with @welcome.to will be allowed to access my VPN.
But it seems to want Google. And that’s easy linked to name address and stuff right.
