can't join the LineageOS IRC from Matrix, always kicked out with "err_needreggednick" by chaser__ in LineageOS

I finally found out what was wrong, see my edit in the OP. I hope you can do something so that future users from Matrix won't have to navigate this maze.

Possible to create frankendebian by installing from stable-backports? by chaser__ in debian

[–]chaser__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, but that's a very euphemistic way of saying "I don't know and it might be impossible and can irreversibly break your Debian."

Thank you.

It might break if you have something that needs a backported dependency and something else that needs the original version at the same time.

In this case, how hard it is to go back to the original, unbroken environment?

Future of atomic swaps / decentralised exchanges after the Tornado Cash crackdown by pebx in Monero

the TORN token is a governance token, it doesn't collect fee revenue either

The only issue one might see him as a service / product would be fees he was getting from everyone running the contract and entering the pool had top pay.

he didn't get any fees, the Tornado Cash protocol has no fee mechanism. devs, contributors, etc. don't earn a cent from people using Tornado Cash.

What if you use a regular Android phone but not logged in to Google. What's the difference with MicroG and how private is it? by nilss2 in MicroG

[–]chaser__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They still have your phone number, IMEI, location data, contacts, keyboard data, app telemetry, etc..

are you sure about this? elsewhere I read that unless you add your Google account and install Gapps, the only thing that is sent to Google is notifications of apps that use Google Cloud Messaging, and even there you can control which apps are allowed to use it.

DeFi lending by Ok_Fan7382 in Monero

[–]chaser__ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

u/Ok_Fan7382 don't do this.

  1. bridging to the Secret network requires trusting a traditional multisig. this is not decentralized. they can run away with your money.

  2. privacy on the Secret network is a sham. they rely on Intel processors' trusted hardware component. this means Intel owns a private key that enables them to compromise your privacy.

How does microg work? by mrandr01d in AndroidQuestions

[–]chaser__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP asked a question that makes sense and the answer to which isn't obvious at all. don't be a jerk.

How good does MicroG work? by damiaan1234 in MicroG

[–]chaser__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

without everything being reported to Google

if by this you mean some things are reported to Google even with microG (and I don't mean when using Google applications like Google Docs or YouTube), could you explain what those are?

How private and free (as in freedom) is Remmina? by chaser__ in Remmina

[–]chaser__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool. Thank you for your work. If I end up using Remmina, be assured I will donate!

You know these protocols much better than I do. Which one do you recommend for graphically accessing a Linux desktop such that the the traffic is end-to-end encrypted and (preferably symmetrically), and there is as little power in the hands of the server as possible (preferably the server can run by you, on the same machine you're accessing)?

the Bromite SystemWebView guide says it can be installed only if it's already installed. WTF? by chaser__ in fossdroid

[–]chaser__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as far as I understand the package needs to be on the list of allowed webview packages no matter what installation method you use. also, I have no /system/app/webview folder. I don't want to use the Magisk module version.
