I guess when you pay with a credit card, theres limited information being shared. Taking things at face value, you are paying for a service that wont track you, see your data, give away your data etc.

Looking at it in terms of privacy vs. anon is a good way to look at it. If you want anonymity, you won’t be using a credit card I assume, unless it’s a throwaway you can top up. I imagine people who want full anonymity would be using stuff that’s more specialised and niche than the likes of Proton etc., likely FOSS stuff, home servers, services without login/registration.

Privacy is like a step away from anonymity in that regard I think.

Thanks for your thoughts. Totally agree.

I was in the verge of installing GOS but I think there is an issue with a first responder app that we are about to get access to, throwing errors of a phone seems to be rooted or similar, so I’ll have to check that it more. If its a non issue, GOS will be in play.

Ah OK thanks. Its not an app as such. I get you now. I was searching for an app or UI install called Photon!

Thank you!

Can you tell me more about that? I was able to see this thread on those links but not familiar with Photon. I searched a bit but a few different techie things came up.

You had me at “don’t even bother with most apps any more…” 😁

OK I have you. You dont need the internet because you have the internet in your terabyte farm. Pretty cool.

Thanks for the detailed reply.

One final question, I’m sure its dark at the bottom of the deep rabbit hole you are in, what do you do for batteries for your head torch?! 😀

I love the sound of this but can I ask, if the net goes down and you hardly notice, where do you get your ‘net’ from? Or is it that your intranet doesn’t need internet as such and everything is just local?

I might have answered my own question there but I’m interested to understand it a bit more.

Thanks!
