Best alternative to WhatsApp?
  • Signal or XMPP are good option

    XMPP may be a bit overwhelming as you need to select a provider and a client. Doesn't require phone number.

    Signal is private and easy to use like whatsapp. Needs phone number to use.

    Telegram is cool but encryption isnt enabled by default, would like to avoid it for this. Cool for public groups.

    Edit: Teleram isnt good at all, dont use it. Look reason in the replies

    US targets TP-Link with a potential ban on the Chinese routers
  • Well its just natural for coubtries to do this at this point when they dont like each other

    In an off topic, I often prefer a open hardware router like raspberry pi router as it gives me control! For me it's safer to use as documentation is open like pfsense and openwrt.

    Crashing when posting images

    For some reason when I select images and post it, my app crashes. But not when selecting text and then inserting it in markdown image link like this one below. (Just a test, ignore the meme)

    Is anybody else facing this problem?

    Making a very less privelleged user accounts

    When I started linux, I heard creating seperate user accounts for specific uses only is a good step to security in linux. I haven't tried it but after seeing concerns regarding some game launchers snooping around the os, I am trying to see how hard will it be to not let them. I only know the basics of user creation through GUI.

    I wont be running games by the way, but I want to have this knowledge of user accounts in linux as a linux security enthusiast. I just want to create a user account where only apps or packages will run with no root access or access to outside its home folder. Even installing apps or packages should not require root to install and must be installed in that home folder and not /usr/bin or /lib. Should be like sandbox environment. I have complete control of permisions and processes of the app. Dont say about flatpak or virtual machines, not talking about that here, just plain old linux.

    Note that I am not doing this out of paronoia but as a security enthusiast. I have heard about firejail, SE linux, and WhonixOS but just scratched the surface of it.

    How should I do this? I need some sources to read all about linux user accounts.
