What are you encrypting?



Title.

Are you encrypting everything then view it encrypted? For example, currenly I'm encrypting all my data, and access that with cryptomator, the problem is that pictures takes a lot to load.

All the files are .txt, word excell.

And you, what are you encrypting?

Pixel 5 vs Pixel 6 For Graphene OS

Greetings, Hope all of you in the privacy community are staying safe. I am considering upgrading from my old huawei phone to either pixel 5 or 6 due to the graphene OS support. Is it worth paying around 200 USD extra for Pixel 6? Thank you.

So I want to switch from GDrive (docs/photos/etc.) to something else.

But, I can't really find an affordable alternative.
Now privacy focused costs money. And sadly I can't buy a NAS atm, so need to find something that is online.

Are there some all in one (docs/sheets/photos/drive/etc) that doesn't cost one kidney a year?

Really interested in what you guys are using :)

Tice or location sharing app

I know most people in here would be opposed to location sharing with family but I need to use one and don't want to use something abusing our data like life360. Has anyone used TICE or would you recommend any other apps that allow you to share location with loved ones in a more privacy focused way?

Also have an app for android and ios.

Cannot upload images using hardened Firefox

I have an issue I could use some advice for. I'm using the latest version of Firefox, hardened in the standard ways + these extensions: UBlock Origin, Canvas Blocker, Multi-account Containers, and sometimes No Scrypt (but more often than not No Scrypt is disabled entirely because it breaks so much). In addition, I've maxed out the security and privacy settings in Firefox (including using first-party isolation) and have denied permissions for the camera, microphone, location, notifications, autoplay, and VR. In about:config, I made some changes to DRM-controlled content permissions. That's my entire setup. (I'm like 80% confident I didn't change anything else.)

Everything works fine, and I have no problem at all, except that I cannot upload photos using Firefox. When I try to upload something, all I get is an image that looks like multi-colored TV static. I would include an image, but I did in my first attempt to post this and the post got removed for including an image, so we'll have to stick with a verbal description...

Everywhere else I've seen people reporting a similar issue, they say that the issue is Firefox not displaying images on websites, but rather displaying that kind of distorted static. That is not my issue. Firefox displays images just fine. The problem is that I cannot, myself, upload any images.

I don't have occasion to upload images very often, so I've been ignoring this for about a year now. However, I saw another recent post on here of someone soliciting help with Firefox and decided I might as well try to sort it out. Thanks

Hopefully this attempt to post makes the cut.

Currently have a Nextcloud instance on hetzener. That vs iCloud who should we trust more?

Not trying to selfhost at the moment and encrypting all my files with crytomator.
