@MasTorDon I hope removing HTTPS is first thing on the to-do list, I can't give you a follow :P

@Yeet updated! I think that was the only one that hadn't been checked off. I'll also bring the i18n branch up-to-date with master in a couple minutes.

@Joshua it's really only "great" if you're building credit (they seem to be approving most people even with low scores/income). Or just want to do all your banking on your iPhone, I guess. 🤷

@Joshua I just don't use Apple Pay that often, and if I have to use my physical card I wouldn't use this one because I get better rewards from NFCU and Discover.

It has some features I'd like to see other cards implement like on-device processing (so Apple can't see transaction data) and the lack of a printed card number, but as a product it's just an average card.

@Joshua uh, I would say it's "as advertised". It *looks* good, in true Apple fashion 😆

Hey! I'm pretty sure I got Tor federation working on social.privacytools.io! There aren't too many Tor instances to test but the ones I found appear to work.

Now we just need more Tor instances to gain in popularity. Maybe when @MasTorDon comes back online their timeline will be more fun 😄

What's this? 👀

Does anyone run or know of a Mastodon instance on the Tor network? Trying to test/troubleshoot federation with hidden services.

With #OutlineVPN, hosting your own VPN has never been easier. Give it a shot: https://blog.privacytools.io/posts/self-hosting-a-shadowsocks-vpn-with-outline/

@croqaz very strange, for some reason that wasn't a problem for me in Safari. Anyways, fixed thanks!

It's official, blog.privacytools.io is live! I've imported a couple backdated posts for testing :)

In the (near) future we'll be posting more long-form articles/guides, news on privacy, etc.

We're also looking for guest bloggers! If you're interested definitely get in touch. We would also be open to "syndicating" (https://indieweb.org/POSSE) previously published articles if you're already a writer in the privacy space.

@CyberSocialist I don’t use debit cards. And for banking I’m already with Simple :)

I think Monzo might be UK-only too.

@Outernaut definitely not. You can find TOTP apps on any platform. KeePassXC supports storing TOTP secrets, for example.

@Connor oh yes it's incredibly satisfying

@mkwadee it's somewhat silly to assume free and open source software don't have any security bugs, IMHO.

@WorldWideWebWizard the S10+ looks nice. I haven't found a good alternative to Apple HealthKit and HomeKit though. Plus I don't trust Samsung when it comes to security and update practices. I had an S7 (their flagship at the time, of course) that received updates MONTHS after it should have. I wonder (but doubt) if they're any better.
