I may need to visit the United States briefly, therefore I want to offline backup my text messages and signal messages from my GrapheneOS phone. Once I return home I want to restore my data from the offline backup. Does anybody have experience and recommendations for this?

Signal's nickname feature can protect you from accidentally adding the wrong person to a group chat

Encryption can’t protect you from adding the wrong person to a group chat. But there is also a setting to make sure you don’t.

You can add your own nickname to a Signal contact by clicking on the person’s profile picture in a chat with them then clicking “Nickname.” Signal says “Nicknames & notes are stored with Signal and end-to-end encrypted. They are only visible to you.” So, you can add a nickname to a Jason saying “co-founder,” or maybe “national security adviser,” and no one else is going to see it. Just you. When you’re trying to make a group chat, perhaps.

Signal could improve its user interface around groups and people with duplicate display names.

Does Orbot's Kindness Mode on Android Leak My Private Details or IP Address? Is It Safe to Use?

cross-posted from: lemmy.ca/post/41403291

Hey everyone,

I’ve been using Orbot on my Android device, and I’m curious about its Kindness Mode. Specifically, I want to know if this mode leaks any of my private details or my IP address to other ISPs. Is it safe to use, or should I be concerned about my privacy? Also, what precautions should I take while using Orbot to ensure my data remains secure? I’d appreciate any insights or experiences you can share! Thanks!

How to remain anonymous during the Trump Musk regime?

I’m new to this privacy thing, besides getting a vpn and tor. With this thing of ICE deporting people for simply having differing opinions, I’m paranoid. Is there anything I can do to avoid that happening to me? I’m not an immigrant nor do I look like one or sound like one, but it could reach to other people too. I am a woman and part of the lgbtq+ community. I’ve already deleted my pronouns and bios showing support for Ukraine, Palestine, and showing hate towards N*zis, I’m now wondering if I should delete my accounts altogether. I’m not entirely sure how to use tor or of any other method, I have experience with Nord though. Thanks.
