  • Thanks for much detailed comment. That helped me alot and answered all of the questions from my head. Eventually, I am not a criminal or activist. Looks like its secure and private enough. At least there is some eyes as Meta, Google etc. I will mind self-hosting. Thank you again for your labor. Goodbye.



  • +Visited the AUR site of Arch about librewolf-bin. Executed commands that pinned user recommended. But there is another error.

    Used commands

    gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --search-keys 031F7104E932F7BD7416E7F6D2845E1305D6E801

    gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --search-keys 662E3CDD6FE329002D0CA5BB40339DD82B12EF16

    The error for both commands

    gpg: error searching keyserver: Connection closed in DNS

    gpg: keyserver search failed: Connection closed in DNS

    Do I have anything to do with my ISP? Or only local problem?

    I mean fail as error. Like, I did something wrong at commands. I haven’t verificated the iso about its valid or not. That’s the thing I’m worried about. I asked can I verify with other ways without the iso. But I decided to do clean re-install. Thanks for comment. Goodbye.

    Oh, I didn’t know that. I just downloaded iso and iso.sig then used gpg commands. The thing I’m worried about is, maliciousy chance of the iso. I probably used German or French mirror to download the iso. Then, failed the verification. I am using unverificated iso’s Arch Linux now. Can I know if I had any tracker, keylogger or mining software etc. ? Usage is normal and smooth as how it have to be. But idk… Just worried. I still have the same bootable USB that the iso was extracted into. I have a FreeDOS unnecessary PC. Can I verificate the bootable by executing any verification command while I’m at the installation process? Or, can I verify or check my operating system’s originality at post-installation era of my main PC? Thanks for comment.









  • Thanks for reply! I have a Samsung phone that De-Googled %100~ (exclude some important Android depencies based on Google). I restored GMS for auth in Signal. After the auth, I uninstalled it back. There is no Youtube, no Google - Chrome, no Spotify etc. Just FOSSed and de-Googled phone. Do I still using Google Services indirect ways because of Signal? Is it possible to be another third-party sharing except phone verification?


  • There was Arch Linux option and Flatpak option for Discover to download Librewolf. But the Arch Linux option was unable to click (I think its the same problem), so I used the Flatpak one. I have downloaded some apps from Flatpak too, what are its major cons? I didn’t know about the package installers differences, but I will research for it. Thanks for important info. So, what you think about the gpg problem about DNS? Some forum says its because the Tor connection but I have nothing about it. What should I do?

    No, just cant import the keys. I tried for librewolf-bin and librewolf but it only says gpg: keyserver receive failed: DNS bla bla (I just typed it from my head but it was something like that). It gave DNS error but don’t remember it. But I fixed it by using Discover app from KDE.





  • I understood clearly what you said. Thanks for detailed text. The protocol uses end-to-end encryption, yes. But, I didn’t understand what type of information is being leaked. Do you mean e-mails, phone numbers, profile pics etc. as metadata? If I use another server or self-hosted server, can I avoid the leak. And not only matrix.org, Element uses same types of informations. Element’s permissions was a bit high in Android, Flatpak etc. I’m using Element on my GNU desktop and not on phone. No phone number, no profile pic, no e-mail; only username, server and password. Do I still give information?
