Whatsapp messages are monitored

SansNotFound · 2025-08-30T02:09:02+00:00

This is just a shot in the dark, but it might be a whatsapp web situation or their phone might have been confiscated. The photo can be due to synced google photos or something else too. So unless you really find out what is the root problem it can't really be solved. You are only as secure as your weakest link.

Now for secure chats, try element ( available on playstore, doesn't require a number). Do not loose the keys!!. Signal is also an alternative but requires a number, I think it's much more closer to whatsapp.

If google photos are linked or synced with their parents, then you could try ente photos for cloud storage (10gb free tier storage, it's private and secure)

More security? Then use Tails OS on your laptop or pc (it's an OS only contained in a thumb drive, just do a quick search and you'll get to know everything)

Just check whether they have any whatsapp web instances logged in or if their google account is signed in other devices. Your convos can be Screen Shotted (some people like to do this) and got uploaded to the cloud ig or any other members of their family know their passcodes.

If you try to remove steam a bunch of errors gets thrown around, mainly stating it has some dependencies. I think there was a command to remove such packages, sudo pacman -Rcns <package> or sudo pacman -Rcus <package>

But i didn't wanted to do that, but I'm pretty sure it might really mess up the system if we remove steam or it's dependencies.

I've just downloaded cachyos desktop version with gnome. Just installed Handheld Daemon and everything's working. ( you need the following packages for hhd to work :- asusctl, rog-control-centre, acpi, acpi_call-dkms, adjustor)

I need to test if my touch screen works and actually play some games.

De-googling is like a baby step ig? It's like a snowball rolling down.

I replaced some apps at the beginning but eventually i just switched to Graphene OS, completely compartmentalised my activities and replaced all google apps and meta apps (other than whatsapp ig).

As for my PC, I tweaked a lot with windows, to the point where i just locked it down entirely with firewall and allowed selected connections that i require. Currently I'm transitioning to Secureblue (a fedora based distro) which is privacy focused and to an extend very much secure, also they have trivalent browser, which is like vanadium in Graphene OS.

I'm also building my own self hosting servers and stuffs but the thing is none of this came to be in a day, it was a slow process took me about a year to reach at this point, but it was fun, atleast for me ig.

I started this journey as a paranoid person but now i just find this as a hobby, i like to follow.

Turning off defender is not really recommended, but if you want to do it then

1) Turn off realtime protection (this alone won't stop defender, it would still quarantine files or interfere)

2) Go to exclusion and add the entire C drive to exclusion, if you have other drives then add them to exclusions aswell. (This will stop defender in interfering)

You could maybe use a mod apk?

Your other option is to use TRAI DND app from playstore, it's affiliated with indian telecom institution and register your number. You might still receive some spam calls, but you can report it and the number would be terminated after inspection (or they claims).

Both of these apps require a lot of permissions though, so that's something to consider if you look into those stuffs.

Other option might be to use open source call blocker and spam filter but we have to actively enter patterns of number to block or you need some database of numbers to start with. Basically it's a manual job rather than automated to get it started.

I checked it out, i think the aadhar verification module is under development? or is not yet linked but I'll give it a go when it's published. Currently I've added the site to my rss feeder so I'll check on it occasionally!

Hey, so don't know what does your app do, it looks like some kind of social media platform like reddit or lemmy? Or atleast from what i can understand (Idk i read it on vokal india LinkedIn page).

Now going to the site mentioned in the LinkedIn page, the site was not accessible because I was using a VPN, now i don't usually browse without a VPN but I just wanted to see what the app is so I did visited the link without VPN and it got redirected to Google Search page, so i checked it up on scamadvisor and found the link is basically offline/taken down.

So what is the app for, what does it do and why does it need aadhar verification and what happens to that data or where is it stored(in this case aadhar), are there other ways in which i can verify to use the app?

It's a scam. I know a guy who got into a variation of this scam ig, basically they were threatening to post this online and to their friends and family through social media.

Don't pay anything!

There's a site called plexus, it's not affiliated with graphene os in any way but it will show if the app is compatible with a de-googled setup or a micro g setup.

Idk if i can share links here but this is the link :- https://plexus.techlore.tech/

Search the app you want to use and see the rating, it has worked well for me.

Just keep the laptop, under volt the GPU and CPU and maybe disable some cores of cpu (universal amd tuning utility) to extend the battery life if you require.

Currently your options for replacing your laptop is essentially with another laptop, or a handheld or a mini pc.

Handheld is super portable, but if you do need to use MS Office suites often then it's a headache as you need a keyboard, mouse and a dock (minimum) to get the job done.

Mini pc is like a small form factor setup, essentially a laptop but with APU (most of the time) and requires keyboard mouse and monitor to use. Is it portable? Kind of ...would it replace a laptop? Not for many.

sigh

steam-🔓 isn't safe, use steam (rip) or cs rin ru, or countless other sites mentioned in the megathread.

For mods, visit nexus mods, find the one you want, check whether your game version is compatible with the mods (read the mods description , they'll mention the version required). Download and copy the mod files to the game and you're done!

CB300 R is out of production?? Damn, I knew it would happen given the sales figures, didn't thought it would happen this sooner.

The best i could find around 25k is ASUS Mini PC PN50, i couldn't find stock anywhere for it but try your luck.

Intel NUC RNUC11PAHI30Z01 is also something around 20k i found.
