So, the "VmosService" system app has full Android permissions, and after deep scanning it, the app can connect to a total of 3 websites, 1 of them is localhost which appears to be a error log collector. Another is xml.apache.org, but the 3rd one is called yytest.shouzhiyun.com/vmmaster.

After some research, and bad translations like "Refuse to phone no electricity!" Shouzhiyun (Redfinger) is some odd company where the pages lead to "/###"

Ever since I found that VMOS Android virtual machine thing, ive been doing some hardcore testing to ensure the privacy and security of users.

From the start, the app has Google analytics which isn't terrible and uses Lawnchair launcher and Pico TTS (By LineageOS). Since rooted, I force deleted all Google apps AND VMOS apps and noticed Android still ran perfectly fine after reboot.

Which takes me to researching a system app called "VmosService"....

I found this really cool app that lets you run a rootable Android emulator on your Android device. It literally like having 2 devices on one.

The app comes with Google analytics, but I simply made a custom version of the app without it.

Anyone know a good privacy forms maker website? Like JotForm.

Lately my PS4 has been showing a sketchy popup saying "For your security, please re-enter your password.", but I can cancel out of it without needing to enter the password and im still logged into everything. Probably PlayStation trying to trick me into sending it to them.

This dumbass literally sold their soul to Google for $5 (Starbucks giftcard) and this "Google fanatic" (as he used in his/her own words) has no issue with this at all and doesn't even think twice. Pathetic.

@jonah Here is another idea for a custom emoji. Maybe called verified_rainbow?

Can someone DM me a RiseUp email invite code if they have one?

I found this website which is interesting. It uses Let's Crypt, BUT I would still recommend using uBlock Origin on it since it has a snoopy Google in it.

I took the quiz and scored "Slightly above average at spotting privacy friendliness"

I have an extension that blocks CloudFlare, and recently I noticed when I visit DuckDuckGo, the extension is going off like crazy.

DuckDuckGo uses CloudFlare? :( Just more reasons for me to hate DuckDuckGo.

Public schools are a privacy nightmare in every single way.

This is the world we live in today.

This might look like some "joke" at first, but this is 100% legit.

Small update to the AllSync thing.....

I went to the "Privacy" setting page in the NextCloud panel thing for AllSync and noticed an Administrator account named "AllSync Team". NextCloud shows that they have full access to my files/data?

I asked this before, but never got a solid answer. Is AllSync trusty? Anything bad in their Privacy Policy?

AllSync has told me before that nobody has access to my files besides me. AllSync is useful to me because it is used with NextCloud and gives 50GB free.

I've been using their service for quite a while and honestly have no issues.

I know self storage is better and 50BG is risky being "free", but eh.

Their website: https://allsync.com/ (Use a tracker blocker.)

How trusty is Bromite? I get it tries to be un-googled, but Chromium still spooks me no matter what.

Its awkward when people don't care about their privacy. It seems like there is no way to win the argument.

Anyone know of a good extended router? Im looking for one that has lots of fun settings to play with. Not one with the lame next to nothing features.

Features such as, DNS, IP forwarding, etc.

Is there a website/place that shows all websites/companies you should avoid that are NOT privacy friendly.

Kind of like how prism-break.org shows places you should avoid, but im looking for a place with more.

(Edited for more detail.)

Welp late night research got me to discover this newer BETA website. https://privacyspy.org

(USES CloudFlare!)
I have contacted them about this issue and hope they switch to Let's Encrypt.

WARNING: After reading their privacy policy, they are NOT very friendly.
