Our massive overhaul of the AOSP Messaging app has reached the Stable channel in our App Store after 3 releases. It's well on the way to becoming our own high quality GrapheneOS Messaging app instead. There are still parts of the interface to overhaul including widgets and important features to add.

I've never been happier that a drive is under warranty. I bought 4 (16TB) new in 2022 for ~$300 each. Now, they're going for ~$700 per drive. I've liked the WD Red Pro line (mostly for the warranty) but I don't know if I'd buy them again. This is my second drive to fail in ~4 years. #nas #ai #linux

We've published an overview of how we protect against data extraction from locked devices with the recently improved secure element rate limiting, locked device auto-reboot, strong passphrases, 2nd factor fingerprint PIN, stronger exploit protections and more: discuss.grapheneos.org/d/40700-grap...

I had a great time chatting with Jay and Michael about a bunch of different topics. The link is below if you’d like to give it a listen. Thanks for having me on the show!

I got this email this morning, and I guess this is now a marketing point? Whether the FCC labels you a “trusted consumer router”? I wonder what requirements they met, or more likely, how much that cost them. For context, I don’t use NETGEAR. Just an old account email. #netgear #security #privacy

It doesn't stop there. It would require keeping data for auditing and providing a token for connecting age verification checks by apps and websites to the data. The law is a privacy disaster and exposes minors to being exploited by leaking their age bracket to apps and websites.

Brazil's authoritarian age verification law became active this month. It won't be implemented by GrapheneOS. Complying would require integrating a mandatory process for each user where a third party service checks government identification and confirms a match using the camera.

👏 can't wait!

re @anthropic.com: I've identified industrial-scale copyright violations on my content by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, X, and more. These companies created thousands of crawlers incorporating the text of all my blog posts, open source code, and books into their paid AI models to profit exorbitantly.

Our email server (mail.grapheneos.org) has been migrated to our bare metal server sponsored by Xenyth in Toronto. We're now using clean IP space announced via BGP with our AS to improve email deliverability by not having IP/AS neighbours sending spam. bgp.tools/dns/mail.gra...

Someone mentioned /e/OS and GrapheneOS in the same sentence and I ask a reasonable question and...well... Truth hurts...

Nothing like praising AI surveillance at a press conference for an unsolved case of a missing person disappearing under millions of dollars of AI surveillance.

There's nothing like the illusion of choice when it comes to financial institutions and privacy. Of course, it's never opt-in, it's always opt-out (for the ones you can limit). #privacy #finance #dataprivacy

The inter-financial/promotional capitalistic circle jerk by vendors promoting substandard privacy and security products in this space appalls me. It's the worst kind of human centipedal behaviour as they voluntarily swallow and regurgitate claims for each other to build SEO etc

First they came for the GPUs. Now they come for the RAM. And in the end, the only one who loses is the consumer. You don't need a GPU, but everything needs RAM. Source: camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0DN... #hardware #ram #gpu #pc

Recently finished listening to this interview. Fantastic job @metroplex.bot ! Whether you've used GrapheneOS for years or are thinking about trying it, it's a must-watch/listen. #GrapheneOS #android #privacy #security www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUEt...

Tonight at 6PM CDT (11PM UTC) I'll be doing a live stream on the "All Things Secured" YouTube channel. The topic will be GrapheneOS/secure mobile setup. Here's the link to the stream - www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkKx.... Hope to see you there! #GrapheneOS #privacy #security #mobile

Doesn't get much better than that!

Most people think they need to prepare for a sophisticated software attack, but your biggest risk is your habits. Exploiting people is often the easiest way in. Anyone can fall for phishing, it’s happened to me. #privacy #security #phishing #npm krebsonsecurity.com/2025/09/18-p...

3 things I learned migrating from Docker Swarm to K3s: - Complex setup, but easier management - Infrastructure as Code. Use Ansible. - Better config and secrets management. Bonus - The larger the community, the easier troubleshooting is. #kubernetes #k3s #ansible #linux #docker

The GrapheneOS dev team are in the boiler room and stoking the fires for full ahead porting to Android 16 with it's release today. Please feel free to help fund the fuel for this titanic test and formidable feat for you below... grapheneos.org/donate

I've been using KeePass for ~5 months and it's been great. #grapheneos #opensource #selfhosting #passwordmanager

Making an image of the drive, gotta keep it cool. The A+ course didn't have this in it years ago, but maybe they suggest it now. #selfhosting #linux #ssd #nvme

Reminder to go through the apps on your phone & computer. Don’t use it? Delete it. Installed it and forgot (that’s me)? Delete it. Too distracting? Delete it. Curious? I made a page with the apps I use — sideofburritos.com/docs/setup-g... #android #grapheneos #selfhosting #security #privacy

Okay Bluesky Tech, let's see if you can do this before X. Can you help either personally or connect parties who can with us? Reach out please or repost and get the word out, it all helps. Let's make it a Bluesky success story!

We need an Android OEM or someone working at one to provide us with early access to the Android 16 sources in order to have a smooth port this year. We need this before June. We requested it to help with this very difficult situation and still need it. bsky.app/profile/grap...

I wanted to create a VLAN to keep my Mastodon server separate from my LAN. Two days later, I now have 8 VLANs. I think I have a problem. #opnsense #unifi #selfhosting #linux #security #privacy

For the past 10+ years I've been using ZFS (FreeNAS/TrueNAS). For some reason, I only recently started using snapshots…THEY ARE AMAZING. So this is your reminder that if you're using ZFS, use snapshots. #TrueNAS #selfhosting #nas
