\textbf{22 September 2023}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\textbf{Category: }Software
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Your smartphone keyboard is an astoundingly sensitive piece of software.
|
|
||||||
You use it to type everything from the most innocent of messages to the
|
|
||||||
most crucial passwords. In terms of messaging on encrypted chat
|
|
||||||
applications like Session or Signal, your smartphone keyboard bypasses
|
|
||||||
encryption. They could know what you are searching about even on private
|
|
||||||
search engines like SearX. This is because your keystrokes are
|
|
||||||
unencrypted. With respect to passwords, your smartphone keyboard, if
|
|
||||||
invasive, can potentially view your bank account details. This means
|
|
||||||
that an individual who can access your smartphone keyboard does not need
|
|
||||||
to utilize advanced techniques to view your data. Therefore, in terms of
|
|
||||||
trust, you should make sure you absolutely trust your smartphone
|
|
||||||
keyboard not to store your written text.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When you keep the above statements in mind, it gets unhealthily
|
|
||||||
fear-inducing when you read how
|
|
||||||
\href{https://www.androidauthority.com/swiftkey-suspends-service-data-leak-706680/}{SwiftKey
|
|
||||||
had a cloud syncing glitch which led to users being able to view other
|
|
||||||
users\textquotesingle{} email addresses.} It is also scary how
|
|
||||||
\href{https://www.zdnet.com/article/600m-samsung-galaxy-phones-at-security-risk-due-to-pre-installed-keyboard-flaw/}{SwiftKey
|
|
||||||
that shipped by default on 600M Samsung Galaxy smartphones had a
|
|
||||||
vulnerability that allowed hackers to setup a proxy server to access
|
|
||||||
sensors and install apps without the user knowing.} There was also a
|
|
||||||
keyboard called ai.type that had over 40M users. Out of these,
|
|
||||||
\href{https://www.zdnet.com/article/popular-virtual-keyboard-leaks-31-million-user-data/}{31M
|
|
||||||
users had their data leaked because the MongoDB database had no
|
|
||||||
password.} This included information like
|
|
||||||
\href{https://mackeeper.com/blog/data-breach-reports-2017/}{phone
|
|
||||||
numbers, full names, device names and models, screen resolution, Android
|
|
||||||
version, IMSI and IMEI numbers, email addresses, country of residence,
|
|
||||||
social media profiles, IP addresses and even locations.}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
What is the solution to this madness? Fortunately, if you are on
|
|
||||||
Android, you have \href{../definitions/free-software}{free software}
|
|
||||||
options. By using \href{../definitions/free-software}{free software}
|
|
||||||
keyboards, you can ensure that none of your keystrokes are stored or
|
|
||||||
sent to a server. This brings us to
|
|
||||||
\href{https://anysoftkeyboard.github.io/}{AnySoftKeyboard}.
|
|
||||||
AnySoftKeyboard is a free, libre and open-source keyboard for Android
|
|
||||||
that has multiple modes, layouts, theme customizations and more. It has
|
|
||||||
all the features you would expect. Gesture typing, keyboard effects,
|
|
||||||
corrections, emojis, you name it. Most importantly, it does not track
|
|
||||||
any of your keystrokes. I have been using it for almost an year. It has
|
|
||||||
been fast and efficient due to the minimalism and has saved me a lot of
|
|
||||||
time. It has many niche features like a terminal layout that has arrows,
|
|
||||||
tabs, pipes and forward slashes for ease of use in Android terminal
|
|
||||||
emulators like \href{https://termux.dev/en/}{Termux}.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you are on an iPhone, the best option is ironically Gboard. You can
|
|
||||||
block Gboard\textquotesingle s tracking using iOS\textquotesingle{}
|
|
||||||
tracker blocking. Gboard does not log the text you store and instead
|
|
||||||
uses federated learning to improve its autocorrect. There are no private
|
|
||||||
options for an iPhone so it is better to choose the best out of two
|
|
||||||
evils.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All in all, the keyboard you use should be a factor for everyone. Use a
|
|
||||||
different keyboard and do not use the default one unless you are on
|
|
||||||
\href{https://lineageos.org/}{LineageOS} or
|
|
||||||
\href{https://grapheneos.org/}{GrapheneOS}.

Taking backups is crucial in every single context. There is simply no
|
|
||||||
situation where the lack of backups was beneficial. Such situations are
|
|
||||||
always detrimental to people. Backups are also important for businesses,
|
|
||||||
especially ones which are responsible for the lives of people, like
|
|
||||||
hospitals.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Taking backups prevents data loss due to software or hardware errors.
|
|
||||||
Even accidents have a minimal impact if you have a backup. It allows
|
|
||||||
businesses to keep growing instead of being worried about recovering
|
|
||||||
crucial client data. For public services like hospitals, being hit with
|
|
||||||
ransomware is an extremely difficult moment. If the ransom is not paid
|
|
||||||
immediately, it can result in loss of human lives. This is why you
|
|
||||||
either have backups or lose money.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Losing precious memories hurts. Backups prevent this gut-wrenching
|
|
||||||
scenario from ever occurring. With many spectacular backup solutions
|
|
||||||
being free or cheap, there is absolutely no reason to take backups. If
|
|
||||||
you work with new computers and devices regularly, then taking backups
|
|
||||||
makes it easy to migrate and install multiple instances on new devices.
|
|
||||||
This is especially easy with Linux systems due to the simple dotfile
|
|
||||||
method. It also provides version control. If you have old versions of
|
|
||||||
documents and files, it is easy to refer to previous examples for future
|
|
||||||
work.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If there is one thing that people love about backups, it is the peace of
|
|
||||||
mind you get knowing that you have an extremely low chance of losing
|
|
||||||
your important data.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It does not matter if you are a normal person or a massive business; you
|
|
||||||
should spend time and money to back up your data properly.
|
|
||||||

||||||

\subsection[3-2-1 Backup Rule]{3-2-1 Backup Rule}\label{backup-rule}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The 3-2-1 backup rule is a rule that many people recommend following to
|
|
||||||
remember to take proper backups. Here is the meaning of each of the
|
|
||||||
numbers:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\textbf{Three Copies}: The "3" in the rule means that you should at
|
|
||||||
least three copies of your data. This includes your original data, so
|
|
||||||
you should have at least your original data along with two other
|
|
||||||
copies. The advantage of having these many copies is that it is the
|
|
||||||
perfect balance of simplicity and redundancy.
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\textbf{Two Different Media}: The "2" in the rule means that you
|
|
||||||
should have your backups on at least two different media types. This
|
|
||||||
may include physical (external SSD, NAS) and digital (server you own,
|
|
||||||
cloud storage) backups.
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\textbf{One Off-site Copy}: The "1" in the rule means that you should
|
|
||||||
have at least one off-site copy. Off-site in this case means somewhere
|
|
||||||
other than your main home or regular backup methods. This can be an
|
|
||||||
encrypted external hard drive that you leave at your
|
|
||||||
relative\textquotesingle s house, for example.
|
|
||||||
\end{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is important to note that these rules are not a plan for everyone,
|
|
||||||
and are instead meant as a base for your backup plans. The least
|
|
||||||
important data that you own should at least be backed up using the base
|
|
||||||
3-2-1 backup plan.

||||||
Invasive Services (Drive, OneDrive,
|

||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When it comes to using Big Tech\textquotesingle s invasive services, you
|
|
||||||
have to be extremely careful since they do not respect your privacy at
|
|
||||||
all. At the bare minimum, you should be encrypting the files you upload
|
|
||||||
if they are even of a little importance to you.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A popular program for file and drive encryption is VeraCrypt. To learn
|
|
||||||
how to use it in detail,
|
|
||||||
\href{https://yewtu.be/watch?v=cxo8xosH_TI}{watch this video}. The
|
|
||||||
overall process goes like this:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Create a new encrypted file specifying the password and other details
|
|
||||||
like total space.
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\textbf{Save the password somewhere safe to not forget it.}
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Unlock the file using your password.
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Copy all your important files to it.
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Unmount the file
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Upload it wherever you want
|
|
||||||
\end{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This makes it difficult to easily access your files from your phone or
|
|
||||||
another device, but it is totally worth it for your privacy.

|
||||||

\subsection[Using Paid Services (Backblaze, Mega)]{Using Paid Services
|
|
||||||
(Backblaze, Mega)}\label{using-paid-services-backblaze-mega}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Services like Mega allow you to pay for more storage, just like Drive,
|
|
||||||
OneDrive or Dropbox. There are privacy concerns with the latter three,
|
|
||||||
however. ProtonDrive is also a good option, but it has had some
|
|
||||||
controversy due to the
|
|
||||||
\href{https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/06/protonmail-logged-ip-address-of-french-activist-after-order-by-swiss-authorities/}{privacy
|
|
||||||
concerns of ProtonMail}. However, I am comfortable recommending it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
BackBlaze is a backup program that is under the
|
|
||||||
\href{https://opensource.org/license/mit/}{MIT licence}. It works really
|
|
||||||
well for most of their customers, so I am comfortable recommending it.

\subsection[Using Owned Services (servers, syncing)]{Using Owned
|
|
||||||
Services (servers,
|
|
||||||
syncing)}\label{using-owned-services-servers-syncing}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When you are using services you own, you have to make sure that you
|
|
||||||
verify the integrity of your files. File corruption can happen on every
|
|
||||||
platform, but it is much better to verify your files on your server
|
|
||||||
since there may be issues with your setup that causes file corruption.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is also important to keep a separate drive or storage medium on your
|
|
||||||
services if possible. If anything happens to your main system, it
|
|
||||||
becomes really easy to just wipe the system and install a new one,
|
|
||||||
knowing that your data is safe.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You can also use sync services like Syncthing for small files that you
|
|
||||||
need synced within all of your devices. I use it to sync my password
|
|
||||||
manager and personal notes. It is encrypted and open-source software and
|
|
||||||
works extremely fast. It is so fast that by the time I save a file and
|
|
||||||
open my phone, the file is already updated. This prevents conflicts.
|

||||||

\hypertarget{taking-offline-backups}{%

\subsection[Taking Offline Backups]{Taking Offline

Backups}\label{taking-offline-backups}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you are taking offline backups, you should be careful with encrypting
|
|
||||||
your data if you need it. You should first assess whether you need
|
|
||||||
encryption or not. If you live in an area with a lot of robberies,
|
|
||||||
encrypt it, as a robber who is smart enough may steal your drive.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Make sure to get an external hard drive or SSD from a reputable company
|
|
||||||
like
|
|
||||||
\href{https://www.westerndigital.com/products?filterByUseCaseName=Backups}{Western
|
|
||||||
Digital} or
|
|
||||||
\href{https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/portable-solid-state-drives/}{Samsung}.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
By buying a product from a reputable company, you get a reliable product
|
|
||||||
that lasts a long time.

|

|
|

While it is important to back up your data, it is also important to
|
|
||||||
maintain your backups. At the end of every month, check your backups to
|
|
||||||
see if your files are still intact. If a specific backup medium keeps
|
|
||||||
showing corruption in files, move it to another drive immediately, since
|
|
||||||
they can fail at any time.

\subsection[Conclusion]{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
While it is important to take backups, it is also important to make sure
|
|
||||||
you are taking them properly. Follow the 3-2-1 backup rule. If you are
|
|
||||||
using invasive services, encrypt all of your files before uploading them
|
|
||||||
using a trusted piece of software like VeraCrypt.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Try to use services that you own as much as possible, to be completely
|
|
||||||
independent. Make sure to have offline backups.

Reading books is perhaps one of the most valuable ways to obtain
|
|
||||||
knowledge in this ever-evolving world. With omnipresent digital devices
|
|
||||||
and incredibly convenient purchasing, people find it easier to read
|
|
||||||
books on screens than physical books. I do not agree with this view.
|
|
||||||
Digital books have their own advantages but none outmatch the merits of
|
|
||||||
a physical book.

Physical books have no distractions, allowing you to get into
|
|
||||||
\textquotesingle the zone\textquotesingle{} much more easily. With
|
|
||||||
digital books, the reader can easily be distracted by something else. A
|
|
||||||
hint of boredom is all it takes to break your focus. This is a high
|
|
||||||
barrier for those already addicted to their devices. Physical books
|
|
||||||
allow you to focus like nothing else which is essential for absorbing
|
|
||||||
the knowledge in the book.

\subsection{Unbound By Time}\label{unbound-by-time}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Physical books are not bound by time. If you are reading a book on a
|
|
||||||
screen, the battery can run out. Humans have dreadful memory, which can
|
|
||||||
lead to one forgetting to charge their device. There is no external
|
|
||||||
factor to worry about with physical books. You just pick one up and
|
|
||||||
start reading.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{technology-independent}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Technology Independent}\label{technology-independent}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All tech-savvy individuals know that no file format or storage medium
|
|
||||||
lasts forever. Proprietary file formats die when the company who made
|
|
||||||
them dies. If your book is in their file format, the money you spent is
|
|
||||||
of no use. To add to this, if you lose your device or your account,
|
|
||||||
there is no getting your book back. Physical books can be read centuries
|
|
||||||
from now.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{experience}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Experience}\label{experience}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The experience of reading a physical book is unmatched. The smell of the
|
|
||||||
pages, the scraping of your pencil when taking notes and the crisp pages
|
|
||||||
refusing to turn all add to the experience. There is no denying that a
|
|
||||||
physical book has a tactile feel as compared to a tablet.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{self-development}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Self-Development}\label{self-development}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Reading books physically is a proven method to developing yourself. It
|
|
||||||
helps you gain knowledge, reduces screen time and makes for a
|
|
||||||
spectacular habit to implement. If you want to improve your life, start
|
|
||||||
off with books.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{sharing}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Sharing}\label{sharing}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is trivial to share a book with a friend or relative. This reduces
|
|
||||||
one\textquotesingle s dependency on money as multiple people essentially
|
|
||||||
have a shared bookshelf. Sharing information and empowering people you
|
|
||||||
love the most is a wonderful way to employ a sense of connection.

||||||
|

||||||
\hypertarget{conclusion}{%

\subsection{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To truly absorb the information you are reading, read them physically.
|
|
||||||
There is a vast supply of untapped information in books. I have started
|
|
||||||
reading \href{https://sufyaan.me/library/}{a plethora of books}, mostly on
|
|
||||||
finance. If you are a Muslim, this also includes reading the
|
|
||||||
Qur\textquotesingle an as there are thousands of new pieces of
|
|
||||||
information that you may come across.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To truly make use of the books you read, read them physically.

\textbf{17 March 2023}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\textbf{Category: }Software
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I have a new browser setup on my desktop to increase my privacy and
|
|
||||||
convenience. It is divided into two profiles that perform differently
|
|
||||||
based on what I need to do in the moment.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{what-is-it}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[What is it?]{What is it?}\label{what-is-it}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I use Librewolf as my browser. It is a fork of Firefox that is enhanced
|
|
||||||
for privacy without heavily impacting user experience. I divided it into
|
|
||||||
two profiles:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Accounts (instances in which I need to login)
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Browsing (general website browsing)
|
|
||||||
\end{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Let me walk through how each profile is setup.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{profile-setup}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Profile Setup]{Profile Setup}\label{profile-setup}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Firstly, let me talk about common settings between both profiles.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{common-in-both}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{Common In Both}\label{common-in-both}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
On both profiles, I have my settings to optimize my privacy. On
|
|
||||||
Firefox-based browsers, it is very easy to use these settings because
|
|
||||||
most of them have little impact on convenience. I use Brave Search as my
|
|
||||||
search engine and will switch to my own SearX instance when I get a good
|
|
||||||
server. In terms of extensions, I have the \textquotesingle uBlock
|
|
||||||
Origin\textquotesingle{} extension installed setup to block JavaScript
|
|
||||||
and remote fonts by default. I have the default lists along with all the
|
|
||||||
others unchecked by default apart from language lists. I block every
|
|
||||||
single domain from Google, Facebook, Microsoft and other websites which
|
|
||||||
are known for tracking. If a website breaks, I whitelist that website in
|
|
||||||
particular.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{accounts-profile}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{Accounts Profile}\label{accounts-profile}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
My accounts profile is optimized to work well with day-to-day logins and
|
|
||||||
important websites. I use this profile for all websites where I can
|
|
||||||
login like Google or Microsoft.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I use the following extensions:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Cookie AutoDelete
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Enabled with whitelisting to auto-delete cookies for websites which
|
|
||||||
I open by accident.
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Using extension instead of Librewolf\textquotesingle s built-in
|
|
||||||
setting because it currently does not work for me.
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Containers
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
For multiple accounts
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\end{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{browsing-profile}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{Browsing Profile}\label{browsing-profile}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
My browsing profile runs in permanent private browsing mode so my
|
|
||||||
cookies, cache and browsing history are automatically deleted when I
|
|
||||||
close my browser. I use it for general web browsing like watching
|
|
||||||
videos, viewing articles and more. I have most of the content I like in
|
|
||||||
an RSS feed but this profile is useful for some websites which either do
|
|
||||||
not have an RSS feed or I only need to use once.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For this profile, I use these extensions:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Dark Reader
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\textquotesingle Invert Listed Only\textquotesingle{} mode turned on
|
|
||||||
because most websites I use have dark mode turned on already.
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
LibRedirect
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
To redirect common websites to their free, libre and open-source
|
|
||||||
frontends.
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Some examples are:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
YouTube -\/-\textgreater{} Invidious
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Twitter -\/-\textgreater{} Nitter
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Reddit -\/-\textgreater{} LibReddit
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Medium -\/-\textgreater{} Scribe
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Wikipedia -\/-\textgreater{} Wikiless
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
I highly recommend everyone to do the same because these frontends
|
|
||||||
are lightweight and do not use JavaScript which makes them load
|
|
||||||
swiftly.
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\end{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{conclusion}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Conclusion]{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This setup has been serving me extremely well. I will continue using
|
|
||||||
this setup and building on it if any specific need arises.

|
|
||||||
In this article, we will discover why it is horrible to keep
|
|
||||||
cryptocurrency on exchanges. If you do not have time to read this
|
|
||||||
article, please stop keeping your cryptocurrencies on exchanges. If you
|
|
||||||
do, your crypto may get stolen or lost. If you are interested in the
|
|
||||||
details, please keep reading.

\subsection[Lack of Ownership]{Lack of
|
|
||||||
Ownership}\label{lack-of-ownership}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When you keep cryptocurrencies on exchanges like Coinbase, they have
|
|
||||||
your private keys. Anyone who has your private keys can manage your
|
|
||||||
wallet as if it is their own. They can send, receive and do whatever
|
|
||||||
they want with your wallet. Even if the exchange you are trading on is
|
|
||||||
trusted, \href{https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/mt-gox.asp}{if they
|
|
||||||
shut down, you will lose your crypto.} This happened a few times before
|
|
||||||
and thousands of people lost all of their crypto. This is why exchanges
|
|
||||||
should be used for what they are good at; purchasing crypto. Keep
|
|
||||||
exchanges only for one purpose.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{no-regulation}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[No Regulation]{No Regulation}\label{no-regulation}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Currently, the whole crypto exchange industry has a severe lack of
|
|
||||||
regulation. The fact that exchanges have your private keys means that
|
|
||||||
\textbf{they can freeze your account which would cut off your access to
|
|
||||||
your own crypto.} Governments can request such freezes. This may seem
|
|
||||||
improbable but
|
|
||||||
\href{https://www.ccn.com/south-koreas-biggest-cryptocurrency-exchange-investigated-by-local-police-market-drops/}{it
|
|
||||||
happened in South Korea.}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{hacking}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Hacking]{Hacking}\label{hacking}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Even if the exchange you are trading on is secure, they may store your
|
|
||||||
private keys in plaintext. This happens much more than people think. If
|
|
||||||
this happens, hackers can easily take control of
|
|
||||||
people\textquotesingle s wallets and send all the crypto to themselves.
|
|
||||||
If a hack like this happens through Bitcoin, it can at least be tracked.
|
|
||||||
However, many hackers convert their crypto to Monero which cannot be
|
|
||||||
tracked. If this happens, you will never get your money back unless the
|
|
||||||
hacker decides to return the money.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{conclusion}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Conclusion]{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To sum it up, you should never store your crypto on exchanges because
|
|
||||||
you do not own your own crypto. There is little regulation and your
|
|
||||||
account or the exchange can also be hacked. All of these pose serious
|
|
||||||
risks to your crypto. Just get a wallet like Electrum or Monero and
|
|
||||||
start using it.

As mentioned in the title, I have deleted my Discord account. This was
|
|
||||||
obviously not without a reason. There are two reasons due to which I
|
|
||||||
deleted my Discord account:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Privacy
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Lack of Use
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The most prominent reason is privacy but lack of use compelled me to
|
|
||||||
actually take the plunge and delete my Discord account.

Discord is a hellhole for your privacy. Avoid it at all costs. In this
|
|
||||||
section, I will show you the various things that Discord tracks.

HISTORY}\label{discords-history}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
OpenFeint was a mobile social network for gaming. The Founder of
|
|
||||||
OpenFeint was Jason Citron, the current CEO of Discord. OpenFeint
|
|
||||||
received a class-action lawsuit for storing data like:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Unique Device Identifiers
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Exact GPS Location
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Internet Browsing History
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Facebook and Twitter Profiles
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
OpenFeint then revealed all of this data to any mobile game developer
|
|
||||||
who asked for it and advertising networks.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Well, if they collected all of this data, you must have agreed to it,
|
|
||||||
right?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
No. The company never asked for your consent. This data collection
|
|
||||||
involved over 100M mobile devices.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{privacy-issues}{%

\subsubsection{PRIVACY ISSUES}\label{privacy-issues}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
So, when you have the CEO of a company that did all of this data
|
|
||||||
collection become the CEO of another company, what do you think he is
|
|
||||||
going to do? The answer is obvious. Of course he will do the same thing.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Let us go over what privacy issues there currently are with Discord.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\textbf{All messages, including direct messages are unencrypted.}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Do not share any sensitive information on it. It can be detrimental
|
|
||||||
if you store a password on their servers as any Discord employee can
|
|
||||||
view it.
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\textbf{Discord collects every single thing you do.}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Do not be surprised if they log the amount of times you breathe
|
|
||||||
while using Discord. It is stored with your User ID, an event ID, a
|
|
||||||
timestamp and a detailed explanation of everything you do.
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\textbf{Discord collects information about game executables.}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
After scanning your game executables, Discord basically will have a
|
|
||||||
tally of what games you play. If they are doing it for game
|
|
||||||
executables, there is no doubt that they are doing it for other apps
|
|
||||||
as well.
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\textbf{Government agencies, gather round!}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Discord\textquotesingle s privacy policy states that your data will
|
|
||||||
be given to any government organisation that asks for it.
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\textbf{The privacy toggles in the Discord app do nothing.}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
All they do is tell the server to delete the data as soon as it
|
|
||||||
receives it. There is no verification, let alone an audit to verify
|
|
||||||
this.
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\textbf{Your messages are with us... and everyone else.}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
When you delete your Discord account, your messages are still kept
|
|
||||||
and your profile will simply be replaced by ``Deleted Account''. If
|
|
||||||
you used Discord for even more than a few days to talk with friends,
|
|
||||||
your messages are more than enough to deanonymize you.
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\textbf{Oh, and don\textquotesingle t do it yourself.}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
You will get banned for using tools to delete messages on Discord.
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\end{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{all-in-all...}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{ALL IN ALL...}\label{all-in-all...}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
... this is not all that Discord does. If we know that Discord does all
|
|
||||||
of this, there is obviously more that they are doing that we do not
|
|
||||||
know. You should always assume closed-source pieces of software are
|
|
||||||
tracking you and sending your information to a third-party.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{lack-of-use}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Lack of Use]{Lack of Use}\label{lack-of-use}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I was not using Discord anymore so I deleted it. The reason is that my
|
|
||||||
previous account got banned for botting when I did not do anything. I
|
|
||||||
made a new account, chatted with three or four of my friends.
|
|
||||||
Afterwards, the CounterHawks Discord server got banned. Due to this, I
|
|
||||||
realized there is no use for my account and that there is no reason for
|
|
||||||
me to support Discord.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{conclusion}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Conclusion]{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I do not use Discord anymore and probably never will. Previously, it was
|
|
||||||
difficult to delete my Discord account but Discord themselves have done
|
|
||||||
all the hard work for me.

|
|
||||||
With regards to technology, the average person would rather buy a new
|
|
||||||
computer when their WiFi stops working instead of taking it to a repair
|
|
||||||
shop or fixing it themselves. They would rather buy a new smartphone
|
|
||||||
when their screen cracks than repair it. They would also rather buy a
|
|
||||||
device because of its looks and arbitrary specifications than one
|
|
||||||
specific to their use case and their interests. They focus on the
|
|
||||||
marketing of a company and become
|
|
||||||
\textquotesingle fanboys\textquotesingle{} of a specific company, buying
|
|
||||||
nothing but their products, stating that the company in question makes
|
|
||||||
the best products in the world. Self-servicing and repairability are not
|
|
||||||
even factors in their decision to buy a device.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As an example, a plethora of technology enthusiasts still buy
|
|
||||||
\href{../definitions/thinkpad}{ThinkPads} to this day. When others look
|
|
||||||
at \href{../definitions/thinkpad}{ThinkPads}, they think whoever buys
|
|
||||||
them is not making a good decision. They think
|
|
||||||
\href{../definitions/thinkpad}{ThinkPads} look ugly. They do not focus
|
|
||||||
on the usability of a device. \href{../definitions/thinkpad}{ThinkPads}
|
|
||||||
are used because of their durability, repairability, fast performance,
|
|
||||||
and more. The fact that they are made for businesses means that there is
|
|
||||||
no profit for Lenovo in letting a ThinkPad break early. Instead, they
|
|
||||||
earn money by selling long-lasting and durable devices that last
|
|
||||||
individuals for years on end.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Instead of buying ThinkPads that \emph{function} amazingly, people go
|
|
||||||
for looks that \emph{impress} amazingly. A computer is a device designed
|
|
||||||
to perform computation. If you are shelling out a lot of money, you
|
|
||||||
should have a device that performs fast and can be repaired by you.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
What I have realized is that you should \textquotesingle do it
|
|
||||||
yourself\textquotesingle{} as much as possible. This is why my computer
|
|
||||||
is custom-built. Had I bought a
|
|
||||||
\href{../definitions/pre-built-computers/}{pre-built computer,} I would
|
|
||||||
have never known what was inside my computer. This is tedious on
|
|
||||||
smartphones since they are becoming more and more locked down.
|
|
||||||
\href{../definitions/linux-phones}{Linux phones} are alternatives but
|
|
||||||
they are not great as of 2023. I hope they become mainstream soon
|
|
||||||
because I want to buy one.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Doing it yourself also helps in terms of software. I used to flash
|
|
||||||
custom ROMs on my old phone and used
|
|
||||||
\href{../definitions/lineageos}{LineageOS} extensively. Now, I use
|
|
||||||
\href{../definitions/arch-linux}{Arch Linux} on my computer, which is a
|
|
||||||
\href{../definitions/linux-distribution}{Linux distribution} that is
|
|
||||||
basically barebones. It has only the packages required to boot up.
|
|
||||||
Everything else is done by you. The advantage of an
|
|
||||||
\href{../definitions/operating-system}{operating system} like this is
|
|
||||||
that you know what runs on your system and there is minimal resource
|
|
||||||
usage. If there is an issue, you can easily find out which program it is
|
|
||||||
from and fix it immediately after gaining knowledge.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{conclusion}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Conclusion]{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You should try to \textquotesingle do it yourself\textquotesingle. Take
|
|
||||||
control of your hardware and software and know what you are running. It
|
|
||||||
will not only be cheaper, but it will make it easier to fix issues and
|
|
||||||
learn about computing and technology in the long run.

|
|
||||||
Sudo. It is often used by Linux users to perform commands with root
|
|
||||||
privileges instead of being in a root shell all the time. However,
|
|
||||||
\href{https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-22809}{there has
|
|
||||||
recently been a vulnerability in sudo due to which people are switching
|
|
||||||
to doas.}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{what-is-doas}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[What is Doas?]{What is Doas?}\label{what-is-doas}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
OpenDoas or Doas is a portable version of the doas utility that is used
|
|
||||||
on OpenBSD. OpenDoas can be installed on Unix-like system which includes
|
|
||||||
Linux. It is designed to be more minimal and has less configuration
|
|
||||||
options than sudo. If you are on a personal computer, then I highly
|
|
||||||
recommend you switch to doas because it has a much smaller codebase
|
|
||||||
which leaves less room for error.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
However, if you are part of a professional environment with many
|
|
||||||
individuals needing to use sudo, I recommend staying with sudo because
|
|
||||||
it offers more configuration options to be used for groups and users.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{installing-doas}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Installing Doas]{Installing Doas}\label{installing-doas}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Doas is available on almost all major distributions. If your
|
|
||||||
distribution is Debian-based (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Zorin OS), simply
|
|
||||||
type:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\texttt{sudo\ apt\ install\ doas}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you run an Arch-based system (Artix, Arco, Endeavour, Manjaro), type:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\texttt{sudo\ pacman\ -S\ opendoas}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you use RHEL-based systems (Fedora, CentOS), type:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\texttt{sudo\ dnf\ install\ opendoas}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Doas should now be installed but it will not work out of the box. There
|
|
||||||
is one line that we need to add to the configuration file.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{configuring-doas}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Configuring Doas]{Configuring Doas}\label{configuring-doas}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You have to configure doas as it is not included in most distributions
|
|
||||||
by default but do not fret! One of its plus points is that its
|
|
||||||
configuration is much better than sudo\textquotesingle s.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To begin, edit the /etc/doas.conf file as root.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you are the only user on your system and do not plan to allow other
|
|
||||||
users to use your system, this line will suffice.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\texttt{permit\ persist\ username\ as\ root}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Many distributions have a group (wheel, sudoers) that are allowed to run
|
|
||||||
sudo commands. If you would like to allow that group to send commands as
|
|
||||||
root, type this:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\texttt{permit\ persist\ :wheel\ as\ root}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{using-doas}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Using Doas]{Using Doas}\label{using-doas}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Using doas is incredibly simple. Just type doas instead of sudo. For
|
|
||||||
example, if you usually type:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\texttt{sudo\ pacman\ -Syu}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
then just type:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\texttt{doas\ pacman\ -Syu}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I also recommend aliasing doas to \textquotesingle doas
|
|
||||||
-\/-\textquotesingle{} since it causes issues sometimes if you just use
|
|
||||||
doas. Apart from that, this is it for the setup.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{conclusion}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Conclusion]{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you are the only person on your Linux machine, you should switch to
|
|
||||||
doas. It is much more lightweight and is similar to sudo. It has a
|
|
||||||
smaller codebase which, in my opinion, prevents exploits from popping up
|
|
||||||
as often as sudo.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
However, if you are in a professional environment, you should stick with
|
|
||||||
sudo.

I believe that petrol and diesel cars will be around in the foreseeable
|
|
||||||
future? Why am I saying this? Do I not care about the environment? Do I
|
|
||||||
not care about saving money? The answer is complicated. You see, it is
|
|
||||||
much more complicated than just the car itself, it goes beyond that.
|
|
||||||
Electric cars are not the holy grail of cars. I will go over why in this
|
|
||||||
post.

||||||
|

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
We have developed petrol cars for so long that the distance to the
|
|
||||||
nearest petrol station isn\textquotesingle t even a factor during our
|
|
||||||
purchases. This is not the same for electric cars. Charging stations
|
|
||||||
have to be implemented everywhere which have numerous disadvantages.
|
|
||||||
Firstly, a lot of money has to be spent digging underground for minerals
|
|
||||||
like copper and lithium which is against the environmental impact which
|
|
||||||
electric cars preach. A lot of land has to be used due to the lower
|
|
||||||
range of electric vehicles, and power outages result in the breakage of
|
|
||||||
the charging stations. In older cities which are small or have an
|
|
||||||
extensively packed construction infrastructure, it is hard to plan and
|
|
||||||
modify wiring, outlets and to prepare land for building stations.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For example, in Qatar, electric cars don\textquotesingle t sell much as
|
|
||||||
there are not many charging stations. There are electric buses for
|
|
||||||
public transportation but they are not common for consumers.

|

|
|
||||||
Most electric cars drive slower than petrol and diesel cars. This can be
|
|
||||||
a detterent for car enthusiasts who love testing the latest and greatest
|
|
||||||
cars. It can also make cars boring for the most part. A petrol engine
|
|
||||||
gives you something to look forward to. Does it has a V6 or a V8? 250HP
|
|
||||||
or 350HP? How many cylinders does it have? With electric cars, all of
|
|
||||||
that goes away.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is not just about speed, however. Electric cars need to be topped up
|
|
||||||
more compared to petrol cars. Batteries die out quicker on electric cars
|
|
||||||
compared to petrol cars as well. Sure, engines do fail on petrol cars
|
|
||||||
but it is easy to maintain if you get an Asian car like a Toyota, a
|
|
||||||
Honda or a Kia.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Of course, batteries cause environmental degradation as well, reducing
|
|
||||||
the supposed contribution to the environment even more.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{charging}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Charging}\label{charging}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Charging takes more time on electric cars than petrol cars. The gap is
|
|
||||||
expected to narrow. However, it will never be as fast as a petrol car.
|
|
||||||
Being able to take your fuel source and just dump it in your vehicle is
|
|
||||||
easier than waiting for a charger to convert AC to DC.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{energy-sources}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Energy Sources}\label{energy-sources}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If the energy used to charge electric vehicles comes from coal or other
|
|
||||||
non-renewable sources, then the whole environment factor goes into the
|
|
||||||
trash.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{diversity}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Diversity}\label{diversity}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Do you want a petrol car that is both reliable and fast? You got it.
|
|
||||||
What about one that is only fast because you don\textquotesingle t care
|
|
||||||
about the maintenance? You got it. What about a family car? You got it.
|
|
||||||
What about an electric car that does all of the above? You have 2-3 cars
|
|
||||||
that can do that and that\textquotesingle s it. There is a lack of
|
|
||||||
diversity in electric cars which needs to be fixed for them to go
|
|
||||||
mainstream.

|
||||||

\hypertarget{conclusion}{%

\subsection{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If there is one thing that I want the reader to take away from this
|
|
||||||
post, it is that electric cars are not the best for the environment and
|
|
||||||
that there is a long time before they are adopted. There are multiple
|
|
||||||
factors that are responsible for this. Even after their adoption, they
|
|
||||||
will not stomp over petrol or diesel cars because petrol cars are just
|
|
||||||
more accessible.

In this article, I will show you how to encrypt emails. You can encrypt
|
|
||||||
emails on almost any device. In this article, however, I will be
|
|
||||||
focusing on Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo. I will also be focusing on making
|
|
||||||
ProtonMail encrypt emails with Gmail.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{myths}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Myths]{Myths}\label{myths}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Firstly, let us dispell a few myths. The first myth is a big one.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{gmails-confidential-mode-does-not-encrypt-your-emails}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{Gmail\textquotesingle s Confidential mode does not
|
|
||||||
encrypt your
|
|
||||||
emails}\label{gmails-confidential-mode-does-not-encrypt-your-emails}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Yes, you heard that right. Gmail\textquotesingle s confidential mode
|
|
||||||
does not encrypt your emails. Whenever I speak about email encryption, I
|
|
||||||
hear something along the lines of:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\emph{``Why are you making things so complicated? Just use
|
|
||||||
Gmail\textquotesingle s confidential mode! It encrypts your emails for
|
|
||||||
you!''}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
No, Gmail\textquotesingle s confidential mode does not encrypt emails.
|
|
||||||
It simply puts a password on your email.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{protonmail-does-not-encrypt-emails-sent-to-non-protonmail-users}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{ProtonMail does not encrypt emails sent to non-ProtonMail
|
|
||||||
users}\label{protonmail-does-not-encrypt-emails-sent-to-non-protonmail-users}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is also a huge myth. ProtonMail encrypts emails sent to other
|
|
||||||
ProtonMail users. However, they do not encrypt emails sent to or
|
|
||||||
received from non-ProtonMail users. It collects less data about you and
|
|
||||||
it stores your emails with encryption on their servers but the email
|
|
||||||
itself is not encrypted on the other person\textquotesingle s end.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Encryption for non-ProtonMail users works on a user-to-user basis. You
|
|
||||||
have to have the encryption keys of the other person if they are a
|
|
||||||
non-ProtonMail user and they also have to encrypt their emails manually.
|
|
||||||
We will learn how to do this in this guide.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{online-email}{%

Encrypting your emails online is a simple process.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{step-1-get-the-mailvelope-extension}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{Step 1: Get the Mailvelope

||||||
extension}\label{step-1-get-the-mailvelope-extension}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\href{https://mailvelope.com/}{Mailvelope is a free, libre and
|
|
||||||
open-source browser extension} which allows you to not only encrypt
|
|
||||||
emails using public keys but also has a keyserver which has a list of
|
|
||||||
other people who use Mailvelope. Emails sent to other people using
|
|
||||||
Mailvelope will automatically be encrypted.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{step-2-set-it-up}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{Step 2: Set it up}\label{step-2-set-it-up}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Open the extension and generate your keypair if you do not have a
|
|
||||||
keypair or import your keypair if you do have one.

|

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Encourage all of your friends to get the Mailvelope extension.
|
|
||||||
Afterwards, you can import their public keys. Henceforth, all emails
|
|
||||||
will be encrypted. Many websites also give their own public key along
|
|
||||||
with their emails so that you can encrypt them as well. If you have
|
|
||||||
friends who use ProtonMail, go to the ProtonMail import section of this
|
|
||||||
post.

Whenever you go to compose an email, there will be a button like the

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Firstly, I would like to give a disclaimer. There is no way to use PGP
|
|
||||||
encryption on iOS. Most encryption that is used on iOS is either paid or
|
|
||||||
unavailable. On Android, you cannot encrypt emails using the native
|
|
||||||
applications for Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo. Even if there is such a
|
|
||||||
feature, you should not use their official clients due to their invasive
|
|
||||||
tracking. To encrypt emails, we will use an email app called K-9 Mail. I
|
|
||||||
believe that everyone should use K-9 Mail even if they are not
|
|
||||||
encrypting their emails. It is a fantastic app.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
K-9 Mail is a free and open-source email app that has a lot of features.
|
|
||||||
I believe that no one should be writing emails on their phones but it is
|
|
||||||
a great app to have just to make sure there is nothing urgent in your
|
|
||||||
inbox.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{step-1-get-the-app}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{Step 1: Get the app}\label{step-1-get-the-app}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
K-9 Mail is on the Play Store, but do not get it from there.
|
|
||||||
\href{https://f-droid.org/}{Get F-Droid} and make it a habit to download
|
|
||||||
apps you use and the alternatives to them through F-Droid.
|
|
||||||
\href{https://f-droid.org/packages/com.fsck.k9/}{K-9 Mail is available
|
|
||||||
on F-Droid} and is a popular app there.

\hypertarget{step-2-set-it-up-1}{%

\subsubsection{Step 2: Set it up}\label{step-2-set-it-up-1}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Follow the guide to enter your email address and get it working through
|
|
||||||
K-9 Mail. I have tried Gmail and it works flawlessly. Other email
|
|
||||||
providers will work well but some may not work at all.

OpenKeychain is an app that allows you to import and manage PGP keys.

|
|

|
|
||||||
Go back to K-9 Mail, go to settings, go to your account that you added,
|
|
||||||
go to end-to-end encryption and enable it. Select your key. Turn on
|
|
||||||
autocrypt mutual mode. That is it! You should see a lock icon whenever
|
|
||||||
you are sending an email to someone if you have their PGP public key. If
|
|
||||||
you need to import more keys, just go to the OpenKeychain app and import
|
|
||||||
them.

To export your ProtonMail public keys, follow these steps.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Login to your ProtonMail account
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Go to the settings
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Go to the section labelled \textquotesingle Encryption and
|
|
||||||
keys\textquotesingle{}
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Scroll down to \textquotesingle Email encryption
|
|
||||||
keys\textquotesingle{} and click
|
|
||||||
\textquotesingle Export\textquotesingle.
|
|
||||||
\end{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The image below is how it looks like in 2023.

||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You can now send these keys to anyone to import into their PGP keychain.
|
|
||||||
They will then be able to encrypt emails when sending them to your
|
|
||||||
ProtonMail address!

\hypertarget{conclusion}{%

\subsection[Conclusion]{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
That is it! You have setup encryption on your emails. This is a great
|
|
||||||
step as email itself is very unsecure, so this will boost your privacy
|
|
||||||
and security by a lot. Sharing passwords through email has never been
|
|
||||||
safe but encryption allows you to do it with a good range of security.

\section[Switching To FFmpeg]{Switching To FFmpeg}\label{why-i-use-terminal-apps}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\textbf{1 June 2023}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\textbf{Category: }Software
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I just started using \href{https://ffmpeg.org/}{FFmpeg}... and it is
|
|
||||||
\textbf{AMAZING!} When I mean amazing, I really mean amazing.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For those of you who do not know what FFmpeg is, it is basically a
|
|
||||||
command-line application that can be installed on all platforms that is
|
|
||||||
basically the Swiss army knife of videos, audio files and images. It
|
|
||||||
merges almost every single codec, encoders and decoders, filters and
|
|
||||||
more in a single application allowing for fast access and modularity.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
FFmpeg is one of those tools which have impacted your life without you
|
|
||||||
realising it. Whenever you watch a movie, show or any piece of edited or
|
|
||||||
converted content, there is an extremely high change that FFmpeg was
|
|
||||||
involved.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You may say:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\emph{"Bu.. But I use a video editor and online file converters! Those
|
|
||||||
are not FFmpeg!"}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Most file converters and video editors use at least some FFmpeg. Many
|
|
||||||
websites like YouTube and WhatsApp use FFmpeg directly when they need to
|
|
||||||
compress a video.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{why}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Why?]{Why?}\label{why}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The reason I switched is because of its versatility. You can create a
|
|
||||||
single command to record your screen in lossless quality, save the
|
|
||||||
original file in \textquotesingle.mov\textquotesingle, the audio in
|
|
||||||
\textquotesingle.mp3\textquotesingle{} format in another folder, encode
|
|
||||||
a \textquotesingle.mp4\textquotesingle{} file, transcode it to be played
|
|
||||||
on Android and trim a specific part of the video and send it to a server
|
|
||||||
that you own.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
FFmpeg is a difficult program to learn but the rewards are worth it. I
|
|
||||||
currently have a command that records my screen, converts the audio in
|
|
||||||
the recording from stereo to mono and finally encode it in
|
|
||||||
\href{../definitions/h264}{H.264} for ultimate compatibility.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{to-close-the-file...}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[To Close The File...]{To Close The
|
|
||||||
File...}\label{to-close-the-file...}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All in all, you should learn FFmpeg if you do even a little amount of
|
|
||||||
multimedia manipulation. It will help you out immensely.

|

This post is just a quick update to announce a hard decision that I have
|
|
||||||
made. I have switched the font on this website from
|
|
||||||
\href{https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/}{JetBrains Mono} to
|
|
||||||
\href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courier_(typeface)}{Courier New}.
|
|
||||||
This change was made because I feel like JetBrains Mono looks more
|
|
||||||
fitting in a terminal because it looks janky on a website. Courier New
|
|
||||||
is a monospace font but still maintains the feeling and look I want from
|
|
||||||
my website.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This change has had an unintended benefit. Previously, my
|
|
||||||
website\textquotesingle s homepage weighed around 50KB in size which is
|
|
||||||
spectacular. However, what I did not realize was that around 40KB were
|
|
||||||
being taken up by JetBrains Mono. By switching to a default typeface, my
|
|
||||||
website now weighs a shockingly low 12KB. If you would like to view the
|
|
||||||
full GTMetrix report, \href{website-report.pdf}{do so here.}

If you are trying to remember your passwords, you are doing it wrong.
|
|
||||||
Trying to remember your passwords is absolutely fatal and has numerous
|
|
||||||
disadvantages. To describe the demerits of trying to remember your
|
|
||||||
passwords, here is a cycle that most people follow. You set a password.
|
|
||||||
You forget it. You set a weaker password. And repeat.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Eventually, people have passwords that are not only weak, but they also
|
|
||||||
never change them unless they forget them. This leads to passwords that
|
|
||||||
are short and easy to crack. Worst of all, people continue this habit on
|
|
||||||
sensitive websites like finance or government services.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The solution to this issue? As always, \textbf{a password manager.} You
|
|
||||||
do not have to be an absolute genius to navigate around password
|
|
||||||
managers or use them securely. Memorize a strong
|
|
||||||
\href{../pwd}{\textbf{password system}}, not a lone password. Use the
|
|
||||||
password system on your password manager and on accounts where you
|
|
||||||
absolutely know that you will not have access to a password manager.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\emph{"What password manager do I use?"}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\href{https://www.bitwarden.com/}{Bitwarden} (for non-techies)
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\href{https://keepass.info/}{KeePass}(for techies)
|
|
||||||
\end{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Bitwarden is straightforward and intuitive. It is on the internet so it
|
|
||||||
is less secure than password managers that are completely offline like
|
|
||||||
KeePass. However, it is still much more secure than proprietary password
|
|
||||||
managers like LastPass and NordPass. Everything is
|
|
||||||
\href{../definitions/free-software/}{free (libre) and open-source
|
|
||||||
software.}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
KeePass, on the other hand, is much more advanced. It is completely
|
|
||||||
offline, so you need something like Syncthing to sync it to all of your
|
|
||||||
devices. This is my current setup of which \href{../kpst/}{you can read
|
|
||||||
here.} It is state-of-the-art. I generate 999-character passwords with
|
|
||||||
extended ASCII so my passwords contain symbols like ©æ\^{} and much
|
|
||||||
more. These passwords have entropies above 10000 bits. For reference, an
|
|
||||||
81-bit password costs about \$1B to crack.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All in all, you should stop remembering your passwords. The human brain
|
|
||||||
is not designed for long-term storage. Let computers that are infinitely
|
|
||||||
better than humans in that regard do the hard work for you.

I have heard great things about writing with fountain pens and decided
|
|
||||||
to try one. I have recently purchased the Jinhao X750 and I have to say
|
|
||||||
that I am not going back.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

\hypertarget{why}{%

\subsection[Why?]{Why?}\label{why}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Buying a fountain pen elevated my writing experience. It is more about
|
|
||||||
keeping in touch with an old lost art, that is writing. As an extreme
|
|
||||||
technology user myself, using digital versions of literally everything,
|
|
||||||
it is refreshing to write using a good tool and love writing again.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{ink}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[What Ink Did You Use?]{What Ink Did You Use?}\label{ink}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I used the
|
|
||||||
\href{https://www.pelikan.com/int/products/writing/supplies-accessories/156-inks/125-pelikan-4001-ink-glass-jar.html\#gallery_125-3}{Pelikan
|
|
||||||
4001} in black, and it is going great so far. I might use this pen for
|
|
||||||
all my writing as it makes it a treat.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{feel}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[How Did It Feel?]{How Did It Feel?}\label{feel}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The first time I wrote with my pen, it felt like I had unlocked a new
|
|
||||||
door in writing. It felt like I was writing something that would impact
|
|
||||||
the world in some way, even though I was just writing my name. Every
|
|
||||||
time I write using it, it feels like I am doing something extraordinary,
|
|
||||||
rather than just doing it for the sake of it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The art of customising what goes in your pen also really piqued my
|
|
||||||
curiosity. The fact that I can choose what ink and converter I want to
|
|
||||||
use makes me relieved, even though I most likely will never change my
|
|
||||||
converter. I can use glow-in-the-dark ink, green ink, purple ink and
|
|
||||||
much more in the same pen and can switch it at almost any time.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I would say that fountain pens are expensive up-front, but cheaper in
|
|
||||||
the long run. You do not have to keep spending money like you would with
|
|
||||||
ball-point pens or roller-balls.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{conclusion}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Conclusion]{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I love my new fountain pen. It has reignited my love for writing. I will
|
|
||||||
use it for all my writing because of the writing experience.

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you are a developer, programmer or a coder who works with open-source
|
|
||||||
software, you must have clicked this post in shock. First off, I would
|
|
||||||
like to state that I am not telling everyone to stop making open-source
|
|
||||||
software. What I am trying to say is that GitHub is one of the worst
|
|
||||||
\href{../definitions/git}{Git} platforms to host your projects. We will
|
|
||||||
cover why in this post.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{freedom}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Freedom!]{Freedom!}\label{freedom}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Simply put, GitHub uses \href{../definitions/non-free}{non-free}
|
|
||||||
software and \href{../definitions/non-free}{non-free} JavaScript on
|
|
||||||
their website. It is shockingly ironic that the biggest open-source
|
|
||||||
platform for anyone to use is itself a proprietary piece of software. It
|
|
||||||
is also centralised, for-profit and politically active, which are all
|
|
||||||
completely against free, libre and open-source software. These factors
|
|
||||||
make it similar to SourceForge, which was abandoned by most of its users
|
|
||||||
because of this very reason.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If everyone stops using GitHub and moves to better alternatives like
|
|
||||||
\href{https://codeberg.org/}{Codeberg},
|
|
||||||
\href{https://gitlab.com/}{GitLab} or even a
|
|
||||||
\href{../definitions/self-host}{self-hosted}
|
|
||||||
\href{../definitions/git}{Git} instance, then GitHub will fall. Many
|
|
||||||
people may be seething at me suggesting
|
|
||||||
\href{https://gitlab.com/}{GitLab}, but the truth is that
|
|
||||||
\href{https://gitlab.com/}{GitLab} is still open-source and uses free
|
|
||||||
JavaScript instead of \href{../definitions/non-free}{non-free}
|
|
||||||
JavaScript on their website. It is certainly not the best option, but it
|
|
||||||
is miles ahead of GitHub.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\href{https://codeberg.org/}{Codeberg} is entirely
|
|
||||||
\href{../definitions/free-software}{free software} and it is a great
|
|
||||||
option for most people. It works in a similar way to GitHub so it is
|
|
||||||
trivial for individuals to migrate. \href{https://sr.ht/}{SourceHut} is
|
|
||||||
also amazing. It is just as good as GitHub and much better for your
|
|
||||||
rights. Self-hosting a \href{https://forgejo.org/}{Forgejo} or
|
|
||||||
\href{https://gitea.io/}{Gitea} instance is one of the best options as
|
|
||||||
it offers complete independence. \href{../definitions/git}{Git} is the
|
|
||||||
underlying technology which anyone can use. Therefore, everyone should
|
|
||||||
be independent in using it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is the reason I have a website. Everyone should have a website as
|
|
||||||
it gives you independence on the web.

|
|

|
|
||||||
Microsoft\textquotesingle s strategy against open-source has always been
|
|
||||||
to embrace, extend and extinguish. They have tried to do it before with
|
|
||||||
Linux when it was being popularized among developers. Now, they are
|
|
||||||
using Copilot to do so, which is an AI tool that can autocomplete code
|
|
||||||
for you. The main issue with it is that they trained it all on
|
|
||||||
open-source code without giving any credit to the original developers.
|
|
||||||
GitHub\textquotesingle s Copilot is now being used to help code
|
|
||||||
for-profit and close-source programs.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Essentially, this results in open-source programs being used to grow
|
|
||||||
close-source programs.

Microsoft and GitHub\textquotesingle s multiple CEOs have kept on
|
|
||||||
speaking negatively about copyleft. This includes
|
|
||||||
GitHub\textquotesingle s founder and former CEO.
|
|
||||||
\href{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bAAlPXB2-c}{Their OSCON keynote
|
|
||||||
was meant for attacking copyleft and the GPL, trying to discourage the
|
|
||||||
use of free software.} Instead, they suggest the MIT license using which
|
|
||||||
many megacorporations exploit people\textquotesingle s code without any
|

credit.

|

There are many people who suggest using alternatives to products offered
|
|
||||||
by big corporations and they are mostly right. Big corporations are able
|
|
||||||
to give you free products because they profit off of your data. They are
|
|
||||||
not trying to be kind.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For example, look at Google. They offer a search engine, documents
|
|
||||||
storage, free email, cloud storage, a video site with billions of
|
|
||||||
videos, a meeting platform and much more. They are not doing this to
|
|
||||||
help people. They are doing this to harvest your data and sell it to the
|
|
||||||
highest bidder.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Microsoft? Windows, Xbox and GitHub are not tools offered out of their
|
|
||||||
sympathy towards you. All of it is for their own profit, whether it be
|
|
||||||
collecting your data in Windows or preventing distribution of truly
|
|
||||||
\href{../definitions/free-software}{free software} on GitHub.

|
|

|

GitHub is perhaps the only Git platform that has no option to

|
||||||
\href{../definitions/self-host}{self-host}. You do not know what is

running on their servers and cannot know what is happening with your

Please don\textquotesingle t use GitHub. Just use alternatives or
|
|
||||||
self-host it. GitHub does have a lot of projects but if you use it, it
|
|
||||||
brings them closer towards extinguishing open-source.

\textbf{28 October 2023}

||||||
\textbf{Category: }Updates
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you browsed my website recently, you would have noticed that I
|
|
||||||
removed all icons. There are many reasons for this change. The TLDR is
|
|
||||||
that my love for quirky icons spiraled into flaming anger whenever I had
|
|
||||||
to align them properly. I will go into more detail in this post.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{clutter}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Clutter}\label{clutter}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Icons cluttered my website. No matter how hard I tried, they never
|
|
||||||
looked right on all devices at once. If it was working fine on desktop,
|
|
||||||
it wasn\textquotesingle t on mobile and vice versa. This led to hours
|
|
||||||
trying to adjust the size and position of each icon to make sure they
|
|
||||||
looked good which they never did.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{readability}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Readability}\label{readability}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The last point ties into this one. The removal of icons led to clear
|
|
||||||
lists, text and headings. I did not expect the website to look this much
|
|
||||||
better without icons. This makes the website look consistent.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{easier}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Easier}\label{easier}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Removing icons makes my job a whole lot easier. I don\textquotesingle t
|
|
||||||
have to worry about how an icon will look. I just copy-paste a folder
|
|
||||||
and start typing away.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{conclusion}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To sum it up, I removed icons because they made my website look
|
|
||||||
cluttered. Without them, my website is more readable and is easier for
|
|
||||||
me to work on.

\textbf{2 July 2023}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\textbf{Category: }Software
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I have tried finding open-source and
|
|
||||||
\href{sufyaan.me/definitions/free-software/}{free} Islamic apps for a long time
|
|
||||||
and it is tiring to do so. Most of the apps are Quran and prayer time
|
|
||||||
apps which are perfect but we do not have apps for other parts of Islam
|
|
||||||
like hadeeths, duas and even Qibla locating. If I do run across an app,
|
|
||||||
its last update is always more than five years ago which is not ideal.
|
|
||||||
There are two Islamic apps that I use on a daily basis that I absolutely
|
|
||||||
love and will never switch from:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\href{https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.quranapp.android}{QuranApp}
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\href{https://fdroid.gitlab.io/fdroid-website/en/packages/com.github.meypod.al_azan/}{Al-Azan}
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
QuranApp is a spectacular app that follows the
|
|
||||||
\href{sufyaan.me/definitions/unix-philosophy/}{UNIX philosophy} and is hosted
|
|
||||||
under the \href{https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html}{GPL
|
|
||||||
license} effectively making it \href{sufyaan.me/definitions/free-software/}{free
|
|
||||||
software}. It has many features like information on every single Surah,
|
|
||||||
multiple translations, audio, mentions of prophets in the Quran and even
|
|
||||||
has a search option using which you can search for any surah or term to
|
|
||||||
get detailed information about your search query in the Quran. For
|
|
||||||
example, searching about \textquotesingle patience\textquotesingle{}
|
|
||||||
brings up ayahs which talk about patience and the rewards that come
|
|
||||||
about from being patient.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\centerline{\cutpic{0.3cm}{7cm}{patience.png}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Screenshot of the search term
|
|
||||||
\textquotesingle patience\textquotesingle{} in QuranApp
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Al-Azan is another app which also follows the
|
|
||||||
\href{sufyaan.me/definitions/unix-philosophy/}{UNIX philosophy} and is hosted
|
|
||||||
under the \href{https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html}{AGPL
|
|
||||||
license} also making it \href{sufyaan.me/definitions/free-software/}{free
|
|
||||||
software}. It does one thing well - displaying and informing of prayer
|
|
||||||
times. You can adjust the prayer times based on location, offset and
|
|
||||||
even calculation methods.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
However, there is not a single \href{sufyaan.me/definitions/free-software/}{free
|
|
||||||
software} or even open-source
|
|
||||||
\href{https://ahadith.co.uk/fortressofthemuslim.php}{Hisnul Muslim}
|
|
||||||
application that I have noticed. Most
|
|
||||||
\href{https://ahadith.co.uk/fortressofthemuslim.php}{Hisnul Muslim} apps
|
|
||||||
I have used have the exact same duas since it is based off the
|
|
||||||
\textquotesingle Fortress of the Muslim\textquotesingle{} book. Just
|
|
||||||
having a page with all duas with a simple search option and the
|
|
||||||
translation in popular languages is all thats required to get the
|
|
||||||
open-source savvy Muslim community to start using
|
|
||||||
\href{sufyaan.me/definitions/free-software/}{free software} for their duas.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Anyone can take the lead. In fact, this may be the first thing I try
|
|
||||||
when I start developing applications.

\textbf{23 June 2023}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\textbf{Category: }Software
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I have decided to switch from a self-hosted Vaultwarden (Bitwarden)
|
|
||||||
instance to using KeePass along with Syncthing to sync it to all my
|
|
||||||
devices. There are numerous reasons why I decided to make this change.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{security}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Security]{Security}\label{security}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The offline nature of KeePass makes it so that it is nearly impossible
|
|
||||||
to crack. Connecting things to the internet makes it trivial for a
|
|
||||||
script kiddie thousands of kilometers away from you to attempt to crack
|
|
||||||
your passwords. A password manager is a place where all of your
|
|
||||||
passwords are stored. Due to this very reason, I decided to upgrade my
|
|
||||||
security by moving to a reputed piece of software.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It has a plethora of security features. Firstly, it has the ability to
|
|
||||||
generate passwords of any length. It allows you to choose what
|
|
||||||
characters are allowed. Its generation is so complex and liberating that
|
|
||||||
even foreign characters like \texttt{Æ}, \texttt{É}, or even mathematics
|
|
||||||
symbols and arbitrary symbols that no one would care about can be used.
|
|
||||||
For example, the division sign (÷) or the copyright symbol (©) are
|
|
||||||
included in password generation. Since most hackers try alphanumeric
|
|
||||||
character cracking, KeePass password generation can make your passwords
|
|
||||||
practically impossible to crack.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The encryption algorithm used for your password database is AES-256,
|
|
||||||
commonly known as 256-bit encryption. It is a form of encryption that is
|
|
||||||
so difficult to crack that the only way you can actually hope to obtain
|
|
||||||
someone\textquotesingle s password is by phishing them or using external
|
|
||||||
methods. For more information, please
|
|
||||||
\href{https://invidious.tiekoetter.com/watch?v=S9JGmA5_unY}{watch this
|
|
||||||
video by 3Blue1Brown.} It is extremely interesting.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In fact, KeePass is so secure that even the passwords that are stored in
|
|
||||||
your memory while you are viewing your database is encrypted. That way,
|
|
||||||
even a \href{../definitions/management-engine}{management engine} attack
|
|
||||||
will not work. If you want to try viewing the cleared memory sectors to
|
|
||||||
find remnants of your passwords, good luck. The passwords which are
|
|
||||||
stored in your memory are first overwritten to the point of
|
|
||||||
unrecoverability before being cleared.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You can even setup a keyfile (a file you need to use to login), a
|
|
||||||
\href{../definitions/security-key/}{security key}, or both.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{view.-the.-code.}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[View. The. Code.]{View. The. Code.}\label{view.-the.-code.}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
KeePass is open-source under the GPLv2 license, which is the best
|
|
||||||
open-source license for people\textquotesingle s freedom. That makes it
|
|
||||||
\href{../definitions/free-software/}{free software}.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{the-encryption-never-stops}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[The Encryption Never Stops]{The Encryption Never
|
|
||||||
Stops}\label{the-encryption-never-stops}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Along with KeePass, I use Syncthing to sync my database. Syncthing also
|
|
||||||
uses cryptographic encryption. This makes it so that anyone who wants to
|
|
||||||
brute-force my database needs access to both my Syncthing password and
|
|
||||||
my KeePass password.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{to-conclude...}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[To Conclude...]{To Conclude...}\label{to-conclude...}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I use KeePass along with Syncthing for three reasons.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
KeePass is extremely secure. It has industry-standard protection
|
|
||||||
methods and algorithms and its offline nature makes it practically
|
|
||||||
uncrackable.
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
It is fully \href{../definitions/free-software/}{free software} under
|
|
||||||
the GPLv2 license
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Syncthing is also encrypted, which means that an attacker who wants to
|
|
||||||
attack me using the internet needs to crack both my Syncthing password
|
|
||||||
and KeePass password which would take billions of years.
|
|
||||||
\end{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I am probably never going to switch back because this system works
|
|
||||||
extremely well. Syncthing is very fast at staying up-to-date.

|

People often ask me why I choose minimal design for brands. This is
|
|
||||||
because it has numerous practical advantages that provide ease and
|
|
||||||
consistency in a brand.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{requirements}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Focusing On The Requirements]{Focusing On The
|
|
||||||
Requirements}\label{requirements}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
One of the main aspects of minimal design is that it focuses on only the
|
|
||||||
required elements of a specific brand. As a result, design becomes
|
|
||||||
distractionless. This is especially easy nowadays since almost no one
|
|
||||||
cares about the meaning behind a logo except in rare cases.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Another advantage of this type of design is that it focuses on the core
|
|
||||||
message, or in this case, brand type. Too much designing can confuse
|
|
||||||
viewers on whether a brand is a playful brand or a luxury brand, for
|
|
||||||
example.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{timelessness}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Timelessness]{Timelessness}\label{timelessness}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Minimal design, especially in the realm of branding, makes a brand feel
|
|
||||||
timeless. You could take almost any minimal design from 200 years ago
|
|
||||||
and use it for your brand today if there were no limits on copying. On
|
|
||||||
the other hand, a sophisticated design from even 50 years ago will look
|
|
||||||
dated most of the time.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This works because the elements that cause a brand to look dated are
|
|
||||||
reduced to an absolute minimum. With minimal design, you have as little
|
|
||||||
correlation with time as possible in your brands.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{elegance}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Elegance]{Elegance}\label{elegance}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Minimal design when performed properly can make any brand look elegant.
|
|
||||||
This is due to their simple nature. Look at most luxury brands, and you
|
|
||||||
will notice that their designs are all simple.

||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{consistency}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Consistency]{Consistency}\label{consistency}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Minimal designs are also consistent. This makes it easy to make a strong
|
|
||||||
and impactful brand that reminds viewers of you. This can also be
|
|
||||||
achieved through other types of design, but it is more powerful on
|
|
||||||
average with minimal design.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Such types of consistency also provide versatility. You can place your
|
|
||||||
brand design in any context, screen size, device and media type while
|
|
||||||
also maintaining a strong brand presence.

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{breathing-space}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Breathing Space]{Breathing Space}\label{breathing-space}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Many designs nowadays are complicated and provide barely any breathing
|
|
||||||
space for your eyes. With minimal designs, however, you can rest easy.
|
|
||||||
Your eyes will not be overwhelmed by minimal design as much as
|
|
||||||
complicated designs.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is useful on informational posts or flyers. It allows your users to
|
|
||||||
process information clearly without any clutter.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{harmony}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Harmony]{Harmony}\label{harmony}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Minimal designs often make use of negative space or whitespace to make a
|
|
||||||
design look appealing. This can look spectacular if executed correctly.
|
|
||||||
Below is an example:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\includegraphics{spade.png}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A Spade Logo
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{maintainence}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Maintainence]{Maintainence}\label{maintainence}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Minimal brand designs can be easily maintained and modified. This makes
|
|
||||||
them versatile in terms of rebranding.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{conclusion}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Conclusion]{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Minimal designs are preferred because:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
They focus on the requirements
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
They are timeless and elegant
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
They stay consistent
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
They give your eyes breathing space
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
They use harmony in a positive way
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
They are easier to maintain
|
|
||||||
\end{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
These are the main reasons I do minimal design.

\textbf{27 June 2023}

|

\textbf{Category: }Software
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In technology, you should keep it simple as much as possible. The KISS
|
|
||||||
philosophy and the \href{sufyaan.me/definitions/unix-philosophy/}{UNIX
|
|
||||||
philosophy} especially must be followed if you want quality software.
|
|
||||||
Most pieces of famous software nowadays do not follow this guideline and
|
|
||||||
it is costing millions of people dearly.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{why-minimal}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Why Minimal?]{Why Minimal?}\label{why-minimal}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Simply put, a piece of minimal software:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Is easier to maintain
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Has a dearth of bugs
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Runs fast on all devices
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Is easily extensible
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Helps avoid complications
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Contributes to the world
|
|
||||||
\end{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Let\textquotesingle s expand on the first and second points. Why is
|
|
||||||
minimal software so easy to maintain? Why do developers hate being
|
|
||||||
developers when they are working with bloated pieces of software?
|
|
||||||
Keeping software minimal gives developers the opportunity to easily find
|
|
||||||
code that is slowing down the whole program or is inefficient. It also
|
|
||||||
helps developers find bugs easy. This is because a smaller codebase
|
|
||||||
means that it takes less time to review the code. A group of 10 people
|
|
||||||
can easily perfect a program whose codebase is less than 1500 lines.
|
|
||||||
After that, it is just a work of maintaining the program and making sure
|
|
||||||
that any requests that users have are answered.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Minimal software runs fast on all devices. It is simply no contest. A
|
|
||||||
1000-line Python program is going to be much faster than a 100K-line C
|
|
||||||
program even though C is much faster than Python. Inefficiencies and
|
|
||||||
lackluster execution of functions in a program can be spotted much more
|
|
||||||
easily in a smaller program. There is a huge disregard for old
|
|
||||||
computers. People simply cannot use old computers anymore because the
|
|
||||||
software that they use is so inefficient that their computer struggles
|
|
||||||
to do basic things. For example, they use Adobe Reader to open PDFs
|
|
||||||
which is one of the worst things to do. Adobe Reader takes an incredibly
|
|
||||||
long time to open considering the fact that they are the ones that
|
|
||||||
invented PDFs. Another example is Word. Why does Word take long to open
|
|
||||||
and write on? It\textquotesingle s code is bloated. Think of Zathura. It
|
|
||||||
is a PDF viewer that follows the
|
|
||||||
\href{sufyaan.me/definitions/unix-philosophy/}{UNIX philosophy} of doing one
|
|
||||||
thing well. Even on the slowest of computers, Zathura takes milliseconds
|
|
||||||
to open a PDF. Think about LaTeX. You do the writing then you compile
|
|
||||||
the document into a PDF. It does everything from linking, referencing,
|
|
||||||
bibliographies much better than Word. In fact, it is so good that many
|
|
||||||
universities require its use for proper formatting and referencing.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Minimal software can be extensible as per the
|
|
||||||
\href{sufyaan.me/definitions/unix-philosophy/}{UNIX philosophy}. Instead of
|
|
||||||
creating a massive program that tries to do everything, minimalist
|
|
||||||
programs create modules for certain functions. This makes
|
|
||||||
troubleshooting a piece of cake as the initial confusion of finding out
|
|
||||||
what exactly causes the error is practically eliminated. For example, if
|
|
||||||
you are making a login page and the authentication does not work, you
|
|
||||||
know that you should look in the authentication module. However, if you
|
|
||||||
make it all in a single program, it is difficult to root out whether an
|
|
||||||
issue is due to an incorrect variable type or a redundant function.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All of this helps developers to avoid complications. No team wants
|
|
||||||
another error or speed complaint in the middle of another issue. All of
|
|
||||||
the advantages listed thus far help developers have peace of mind.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Finally, minimal pieces of software can be liberated and made into
|
|
||||||
\href{sufyaan.me/definitions/free-software/}{free software} to contribute to the
|
|
||||||
world. Once the initial stages of bug-fixing and optimization is over,
|
|
||||||
it is just a matter of letting the world find ways to make the program
|
|
||||||
better. An inefficiency that no one would spot otherwise can be ironed
|
|
||||||
out by a top-tier programmer who worked in a plethora of huge companies
|
|
||||||
with decades of experience. It also helps budding developers learn about
|
|
||||||
development.

\subsection[Closing The Program]{Closing The
|
|
||||||
Program}\label{closing-the-program}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To sum it up, everyone should use and develop minimal software if
|
|
||||||
possible. This is because minimal software is easier to maintain, debug
|
|
||||||
and optimize due to its smaller codebase. It also runs fast on all
|
|
||||||
devices and avoids complications during development time. Minimal
|
|
||||||
software can also be liberated into
|
|
||||||
\href{sufyaan.me/definitions/free-software/}{free software} which will allow
|
|
||||||
talented developers to review the program and contribute to the world.

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Oversimplification kills. It is as simple as that. Most of the time,
|
|
||||||
there are simple solutions to a problem that work well which are not
|
|
||||||
used because individuals feel like they need to be more simple.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you want to get more technical, think about the over-engineering of
|
|
||||||
website builders. Instead of having a simple piece of software that
|
|
||||||
generates static sites and blog posts based on
|
|
||||||
\href{sufyaan.me/definitions/markdown}{markdown} files, we have ultra-bloated
|
|
||||||
website builders that provide a simple way to make a website at the cost
|
|
||||||
of extremely slow websites and unneeded JavaScript. We also have
|
|
||||||
oversimplified user interfaces in Windows and MacOS. These
|
|
||||||
\href{sufyaan.me/definitions/operating-system}{operating systems} have made bad
|
|
||||||
and oversimplified interfaces a norm, which makes good interfaces such
|
|
||||||
as ones you can customize on Linux seem too complicated or confusing
|
|
||||||
even though it would be easier for someone with no experience in
|
|
||||||
computing to get started with most desktop environments available.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As
|
|
||||||
\href{https://lukesmith.xyz/articles/obvious-technical-solutions/}{Luke
|
|
||||||
Smith mentions in his post,} we never thought about using wheels on
|
|
||||||
suitcases until the 1990s even though children in the Incan empire did
|
|
||||||
have toys with wheels. This is one of the examples where trying to
|
|
||||||
oversimplify something by making an all-in-one or a good solution delays
|
|
||||||
progress.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Oversimplification shifts focus away from the main problem. For example,
|
|
||||||
with website builders, the problem shifted away from being able to make
|
|
||||||
websites fast and easily to give the user information in a swift manner
|
|
||||||
to just making your website pretty. With Windows and MacOS, the focus
|
|
||||||
shifted away from making user interfaces that actually make sense for
|
|
||||||
everyone to use to making user interfaces that are familiar.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
On the other end of the same spectrum, overcomplication also has a
|
|
||||||
similar result. A technical example of this is software management.
|
|
||||||
Windows and MacOS (at least how most people use MacOS) have complicated
|
|
||||||
software management which results in difficult updates, confusing
|
|
||||||
software usage and an overall increase in storage usage throughout the
|
|
||||||
years. However, Linux has package managers. One command is all that is
|
|
||||||
required to install a package and remove it. You can clear cache,
|
|
||||||
download an older version, update both your system and applications at
|
|
||||||
the same time and even view all installed packages.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In the end, most things are complicated. We can try simplifying them and
|
|
||||||
that is perfectly fine. However, trying to oversimplify a problem and
|
|
||||||
making it a binary outcome does not work in all cases. There are many
|
|
||||||
factors to take into consideration. Oversimplification leads to no
|
|
||||||
problems being solved. If anything, it creates and solves arbitrary
|
|
||||||
problems that are not important.

\textbf{7 April 2024}

\textbf{Category: }Software
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In various software teams, inexperienced developers prefer to add
|
|
||||||
features in the current moment and plan to optimize for performance
|
|
||||||
later. They forget to do so in \emph{many} cases. This is a horrible
|
|
||||||
habit that needs to be stopped.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
These are the reasons this may happen:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Companies prefer new features over speed
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Companies pay their employees on the basis of the amount of lines of
|
|
||||||
code
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Employees find it easier to write low-quality code that just works
|
|
||||||
\end{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{why}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Why?}\label{why}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
By not optimizing for performance, \textbf{you are not respecting your
|
|
||||||
users.} Over the years, the required specifications and hardware for
|
|
||||||
each piece of software has been going up. This leads to old devices
|
|
||||||
being obsolete quickly and provides a bad experience for users on
|
|
||||||
low-end hardware.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A widespread counter to this argument is that most people upgrade their
|
|
||||||
hardware regularly. \textbf{They don\textquotesingle t.} Look at your
|
|
||||||
acquaintances and you will find a few people who use their devices for
|
|
||||||
as long as you can.
|
|
||||||
\href{https://www.sellcell.com/blog/how-often-do-people-upgrade-their-phone-2023-statistics/}{A
|
|
||||||
survey says that 39\% of people don\textquotesingle t upgrade their
|
|
||||||
smartphones before 4 years of ownership.} That is a whole lot of people
|
|
||||||
to give a bad software experience.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Another reason to prioritize performance is because it\textquotesingle s
|
|
||||||
simpler to make swift software when it\textquotesingle s in its early
|
|
||||||
stages. By following good conventions and proper practices, it becomes
|
|
||||||
trivial to make software run fast.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Lastly, fast software allows people to use their devices longer. Your
|
|
||||||
software will be indirectly making a positive impact to the climate.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{conclusion}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Software teams should take the initiative to make sure their software
|
|
||||||
performs fast from the get-go. This is because of user respect,
|
|
||||||
simplicity and the climate.

Israel has been oppressing Palestinians for decades now. They have taken
|
|
||||||
their land and resources. I refuse to support such a country and you
|
|
||||||
should too. It is not just about preventing yourself from buying Israeli
|
|
||||||
products but also buying products from companies that support Israel.
|
|
||||||
These companies may be providing military aid, tracking technology or
|
|
||||||
just money in general. I noticed that there are no sources which have an
|
|
||||||
extensible list of companies that support Israel. This is why I wrote
|
|
||||||
this post to make supporting the Palestinian cause easier.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Keep in mind that Israeli products\textquotesingle{} barcodes start with
|
|
||||||
729. However, this may not always be the case. Be sure to check with the
|
|
||||||
supplier.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\textbf{THIS LIST WILL KEEP BEING UPDATED. SOURCES FOR EACH COMPANY
|
|
||||||
SUPPORTING ISRAEL WILL BE ADDED.}

\textbf{25 July 2023}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\textbf{Category: }Software
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Almost everything I write is in plaintext or is as close to plaintext as
|
|
||||||
possible. For example, I prepare plans to work on a project, future
|
|
||||||
articles or brand case studies in plaintext before further processing.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The first step of everything I do is plaintext. I store my notes in
|
|
||||||
\href{sufyaan.me/definitions/markdown}{markdown} format. However, the first step
|
|
||||||
is always to write everything in plaintext to get whatever I need to
|
|
||||||
write out of my head. Formatting such as headings and underlines come
|
|
||||||
after the aforementioned initial step.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
So, why do I do this? Why am I so boring when it comes to writing down
|
|
||||||
text?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{forget-the-internet}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Forget The Internet]{Forget The
|
|
||||||
Internet}\label{forget-the-internet}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
By writing in plaintext, you drop the fear of losing your files in case
|
|
||||||
you do not have the internet. If you use a notes app that fetches your
|
|
||||||
notes from the internet, then it will be tedious to access your notes
|
|
||||||
when you really need them.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Another unspoken advantage of having offline plaintext files is that you
|
|
||||||
can turn off your internet to avoid all distractions and simply write
|
|
||||||
your heart\textquotesingle s desires out.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{access-them-anywhere}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Access Them Anywhere]{Access Them
|
|
||||||
Anywhere}\label{access-them-anywhere}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you save your notes in a proprietary notes app or use an application
|
|
||||||
like Microsoft Word to write your notes, then you are at the mercy of
|
|
||||||
the creator of the specific file format you are using. If you do not
|
|
||||||
have access to the program in question at any moment, you will not be
|
|
||||||
able to open your notes at all.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Plaintext files are universal. You can open them on any device anywhere
|
|
||||||
in the world. This makes them extremely powerful as you can use them on
|
|
||||||
the slowest of devices without any issues.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{compartmentalise}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Compartmentalise]{Compartmentalise}\label{compartmentalise}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you write text in plaintext files, it is trivial to write without any
|
|
||||||
distractions. This is similar to the operating structure of HTML or
|
|
||||||
LaTeX. You focus on one thing at a time. If you need to do something
|
|
||||||
else with the file, you can use another program to do it instead of
|
|
||||||
having everything in one big file.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{automate-your-life}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Automate Your Life]{Automate Your
|
|
||||||
Life}\label{automate-your-life}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You can use scripts to automatically search for content in plaintext
|
|
||||||
files and perform actions on them. This can, for example, be used to
|
|
||||||
automatically look for categories in a plaintext file and convert them
|
|
||||||
into \href{sufyaan.me/definitions/markdown}{markdown} files.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{conclusion}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Conclusion]{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All in all, I use plaintext files because I can access them whenever and
|
|
||||||
wherever I want on any device. It allows me to future-proof my writing
|
|
||||||
and it also allows me to be more productive.

If you find it difficult to maintain strong passwords, then this guide
|
|
||||||
is the only article you need to refer to. In this article, I will talk
|
|
||||||
about an amazing trick to remember and manage all of your passwords.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{introduction}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[Introduction]{Introduction}\label{introduction}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It goes without saying that passwords are incredibly important. It is
|
|
||||||
undeniably important to make sure your passwords are:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Strong
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Hard to guess
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Different on every single account
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
However, it seems futile to try using different passwords on every
|
|
||||||
website. It is incredibly hard to remember just one; how can I remember
|
|
||||||
more than 10?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The solution to this undeniably rampant issue is to use a password
|
|
||||||
system. A password system is a set of rules and guidelines that you make
|
|
||||||
and follow to create your passwords. Using a password system, you need
|
|
||||||
not remember your passwords. All you have to do is string together
|
|
||||||
available pieces of data, and you can remember your password
|
|
||||||
immediately.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The most common response I hear from people when I ask them to create a
|
|
||||||
password system is:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\emph{"I think using the same password on all accounts is better because
|
|
||||||
I don\textquotesingle t have a good memory to use a password system."}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
That response always baffles me. The whole point of a password system is
|
|
||||||
not to remember your passwords but to remember a ruleset that will be
|
|
||||||
cemented into your brain after 3 or 4 times of entering your passwords.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{how-to-create-a-password-system}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection[How to Create a Password System]{How to Create a Password
|
|
||||||
System}\label{how-to-create-a-password-system}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As aforementioned, a password system is a set of rules that you need to
|
|
||||||
remember instead of all of your passwords separately. An effective
|
|
||||||
password system consists of the following elements:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Master Password
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Website/Service Differentiator
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The main format and order of a password system is completely managed by
|
|
||||||
you. First, let us go over creating a master password.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{the-master-password}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{The Master Password}\label{the-master-password}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I recommend this method of creating master passwords to anyone since the
|
|
||||||
passwords that are created are easy to remember but practically
|
|
||||||
impossible to guess.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{step-1-think-of-a-good-sentence}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{Step 1: Think of a good
|
|
||||||
sentence}\label{step-1-think-of-a-good-sentence}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Make sure it is long but easily memorable. The one which pops in your
|
|
||||||
mind when someone asks you to think of a sentence is a perfect choice as
|
|
||||||
long as it is of considerable length.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Example:
|
|
||||||
\texttt{I\ love\ eating\ 43\ and\ a\ half\ coconuts\ a\ day,\ I\ am\ not\ going\ to\ lie!}
|

||||||
\subsubsection{Step 2: Shortening the
|
|
||||||
sentence}\label{step-2-shortening-the-sentence}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Take the first letter of each word in the sentence and write it as is.
|
|
||||||
Do not change any characters to uppercase or lowercase or use a symbol
|
|
||||||
to represent it.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Example: \texttt{Ile43aahcad,Iangtl!}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{step-3-make-it-stronger}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{Step 3: Make it stronger}\label{step-3-make-it-stronger}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Take the password you have in the last step and make it stronger in a
|
|
||||||
way that you will remember. This step is the one you have to be the most
|
|
||||||
careful in because making it too strong will make it difficult to
|
|
||||||
recollect in the future.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Do not use common substitutions like:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
I -\/-\textgreater{} 1
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
A -\/-\textgreater{} @
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
T -\/-\textgreater{} 7
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
S -\/-\textgreater{} \$
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Example: \texttt{I\textless{}3e43\&1/2cad,IangtLIE!}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{step-4-make-your-muscles-learn-it}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{Step 4: Make your muscles learn
|
|
||||||
it}\label{step-4-make-your-muscles-learn-it}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Do not proceed to the next section without doing this step. Recall the
|
|
||||||
sentence in your mind and try to write the same password you got in the
|
|
||||||
previous step. Do this at least 10 times. Wait a few hours, then do it
|
|
||||||
again. Wait until you sleep and do it again. This may seem unnecesarry,
|
|
||||||
but most people underestimate the power of muscle memory. If you login
|
|
||||||
to an account regularly, then you type your password without even
|
|
||||||
thinking about it. The same trick can be applied here.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
After a while, you will be able to type your extremely long password
|
|
||||||
without any effort. You just think about it and your mind glides through
|
|
||||||
the keyboard. This is super useful.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{the-service-differentiator}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{The Service
|
|
||||||
Differentiator}\label{the-service-differentiator}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To make your password different for every website and service you go to,
|
|
||||||
there needs to be a service differentiator. A service differentiator is
|
|
||||||
a special combination of characters you add in your password system to
|
|
||||||
make it unique to the service you are on. It is not very difficult to
|
|
||||||
create a service differentiator and it is easier to remember.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The elements of a service differentiator are the name of the service and
|
|
||||||
length of the name of the service. Below is an example of a name
|
|
||||||
differentiator used for creating a Nextcloud account, Microsoft account
|
|
||||||
and Google account respectively.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\texttt{nextcLOUD!999}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\texttt{microSOFT!999}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\texttt{googlE!666}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
As you can see, I added the name of the service in with the first 5
|
|
||||||
letter capitalized with an exclamation mark and the length of the
|
|
||||||
service three times.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
By this point, you can make your own service differentiator easily.
|
|
||||||

||||||

|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{Creating Your Password
|
|
||||||
System}\label{creating-your-password-system}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is finally time to integrate your master password into a password
|
|
||||||
system. It is called a password \textbf{system,} which means that it is
|
|
||||||
dynamic and changes for every website. A sample password system can be
|
|
||||||
the following:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\texttt{(SERVICE\ DIFFERENTIATOR)\ +\ (MASTER\ PASSWORD)}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In my example\textquotesingle s case, my Google account password would
|
|
||||||
be:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\texttt{googlE!666I\textless{}3e43\&1/2cad,IangtLIE!}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The password above is 33 characters, yes 33 characters long. No one will
|
|
||||||
be able to guess it and it will take hundreds of centuries to crack.
|
|
||||||
Best of all, it is different for each account.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You can mix the order up. Just make sure you don\textquotesingle t keep
|
|
||||||
changing the system and use one system. The best part is that if you
|
|
||||||
need to change your passwords, you can just make another system that
|
|
||||||
will work just as well. By that point, the previous system will be
|
|
||||||
embedded into your brain. So, you can remember multiple strong passwords
|
|
||||||
using this step.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Please note that this is not enough. If you have followed this guide,
|
|
||||||
you have taken a massive step towards protecting your accounts. However,
|
|
||||||
many cybercriminals rely on phishing attacks. Please do not click on
|
|
||||||
random links and please do not enter your information on random
|
|
||||||
websites.

that is different on each account.

Posted on: \textbf{23 January 2024}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Category: \textbf{Software} \& \textbf{Technology}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In an era of uncomfortably intrusive tracking, the requirement for
|
|
||||||
secure messaging has become crucial. With companies like
|
|
||||||
\href{https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/03/one-answer-facebook-problem-block-its-tracking-technologies}{Meta}
|
|
||||||
and
|
|
||||||
\href{https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/03/google-says-it-doesnt-sell-your-data-heres-how-company-shares-monetizes-and}{Google}
|
|
||||||
intruding our privacy on a daily basis, we must take a stand, especially
|
|
||||||
with the messaging applications, perhaps the most sensitive piece of
|
|
||||||
software that people use. In this article, I will explain why it is
|
|
||||||
urgent for you to take the stand by using secure messaging and explain
|
|
||||||
how to get started.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{privacy-an-ignored-factor}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Privacy: An Ignored
|
|
||||||
Factor}\label{privacy-an-ignored-factor}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Privacy is incredibly important in this modern day and age. This is why
|
|
||||||
I will only speak about messaging software that is \textbf{both private
|
|
||||||
and secure.} When choosing software, privacy and security should have
|
|
||||||
equal importance.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{why-}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Why?}\label{why-}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Why would one use secure messaging if they have nothing to hide?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{protecting-your-privacy}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{Protecting Your Privacy}\label{protecting-your-privacy}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Your privacy is incredibly important. However, it is ignored by most
|
|
||||||
people, citing that they have nothing to hide. Everyone has something to
|
|
||||||
hide, whether that be related to their money, reputation or even
|
|
||||||
personal issues. Imagine your reaction if your current messages in their
|
|
||||||
entirety got leaked, allowing anyone to read and go through them. You
|
|
||||||
would be uncomfortable and also fear people taking advantage of your
|
|
||||||
private messages. It is for this reason that it is important to
|
|
||||||
safeguard your most personal conversations.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{avoiding-cyber-threats}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{Avoiding Cyber Threats}\label{avoiding-cyber-threats}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Secure messaging uses end-to-end encryption. However, it is not wise to
|
|
||||||
completely trust when companies advertise end-to-end encryption. It
|
|
||||||
depends mostly on the algorithm that they use. For example, the Signal
|
|
||||||
protocol is open-source and fully available to the public. This allows
|
|
||||||
people to view and even contribute to improving its overall
|
|
||||||
effectiveness. However, WhatsApp\textquotesingle s encryption is
|
|
||||||
proprietary. No one knows what encryption algorithm WhatsApp is running
|
|
||||||
on their servers which makes it impossible to determine if it is secure.
|
|
||||||
All in all, you should do your own research before proceeding.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{protecting-metadata}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{Protecting Metadata}\label{protecting-metadata}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Your \href{https://ssd.eff.org/module/why-metadata-matters}{metadata is
|
|
||||||
crucial} to protecting your conversations. It can give context to your
|
|
||||||
messages. Protecting your metadata helps mask your messages and protects
|
|
||||||
it from being tampered.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{getting-started}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsection{Getting Started}\label{getting-started}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I will be showcasing how to download and use secure messaging apps. As
|
|
||||||
aforementioned, I will only show apps that are \textbf{both secure and
|
|
||||||
private.}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{1-choose-a-secure-app}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{1. Choose a secure app}\label{1-choose-a-secure-app}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Firstly, download one of the following:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\href{https://www.signal.org/}{Signal} - It is free, open-source and
|
|
||||||
is a great alternative for WhatsApp
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\href{https://getsession.org/}{Session} - It is incredibly private.
|
|
||||||
You do not get a phone number and have to backup a seed phrase, making
|
|
||||||
it complicated for most users.
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
\href{https://threema.ch/en}{Threema} - Threema is a \textbf{paid}
|
|
||||||
option but also easy to use.
|
|
||||||
\end{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Next, open your app and set it up. Keep only the bare minimum data about
|
|
||||||
you. For my name, I keep a dash (-) and no profile picture.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{2-enable-two-factor-authentication}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{2. Enable two-factor
|
|
||||||
authentication}\label{2-enable-two-factor-authentication}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Now, enable \href{https://sufyaan.me/tfa}{two-factor authentication} if
|
|
||||||
available. This allows you to prevent others from registering using your
|
|
||||||
credentials without your consent.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{3-keep-updating}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{3. Keep updating}\label{3-keep-updating}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Regularly check for updates. If an app has an update, update it. This
|
|
||||||
prevents security and privacy breaches from occurring.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Keep disappearing messages on by default. This ensures that sensitive
|
|
||||||
messages are deleted within a period of time. For extremely sensitive
|
|
||||||
chats, consider visiting the person you want to talk to physically. If
|
|
||||||
that is not an option, turn on disappearing messages and set a time
|
|
||||||
limit for 5 minutes and chat with them, so that the messages disappear
|
|
||||||
after 5 minutes.

|

If your contacts are still on other messaging apps, convince them to
|
|
||||||
join secure messaging apps as well. This allows you to have a secure
|
|
||||||
option even if your main chats are on the other app.

|
|
||||||
In conclusion, it is important to employ secure messaging. Signal,
|
|
||||||
Session and Threema are all viable applications that one can use. If
|
|
||||||
only a few of your contacts are on Signal, do not worry. Talk to them on
|
|
||||||
Signal and the others on the app you talk with them on. Remember,
|
|
||||||
privacy is a journey, not a destination.

I know how you felt reading the title. If you are a heavy social media
|
|
||||||
user, you probably said:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\emph{"What? Who in their right mind would delete their social media
|
|
||||||
accounts? How are they supposed to live life and talk to their
|
|
||||||
friends?"}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Don\textquotesingle t worry. That was me last year. I understand your
|
|
||||||
feelings. However, the disadvantages of social media and the perks of
|
|
||||||
deleting it far outweigh its benefits. In this post, I will go over the
|
|
||||||
reasons why you should delete all of your social media.
|

\hypertarget{time-consuming}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{Time-Consuming}\label{time-consuming}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A study counted 5 billion internet users and it was concluded that, on
|
|
||||||
average,
|
|
||||||
\href{https://www.forbesindia.com/article/lifes/how-much-time-do-people-spend-on-social-media-and-why/79477/1}{an
|
|
||||||
internet user spends 6 hours and 53 minutes online per day.} 6. HOURS.
|
|
||||||
AND. 53. MINUTES. That is almost a whole third of
|
|
||||||
people\textquotesingle s daily lives. Another study concluded that
|
|
||||||
people spend more time on social media in their whole lifetime than
|
|
||||||
grooming, socialising (social media !=socialising) and doing the laundry
|
|
||||||
combined.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is not as if any of the time spent is valuable. Sure, you may learn
|
|
||||||
one or two \textquotesingle fun facts, which will make you think that
|
|
||||||
you need social media. You may talk with your friends a lot, which will
|
|
||||||
make you think that your account is required to socialise with people.
|
|
||||||
However, these are all nonsensical excuses that your brain makes to
|
|
||||||
justify getting cheap dopamine. Imagine how much work you can get done,
|
|
||||||
how many actual connections you can make with people, and how many good
|
|
||||||
habits can be formed that will make you happier in the long term than
|
|
||||||
social media.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{mental-health}{%

||||||
\subsubsection{Affects Your Mental Health}\label{mental-health}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Whenever people hear that social media affects your mental health, they
|
|
||||||
agree but say that it does not affect them specifically. The most common
|
|
||||||
argument I hear is:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\emph{"Yeah, I know that it affects other people. However, I am fine
|
|
||||||
with it. I feel normal and do not feel depressed at all.}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All I can say is not to trust what your brain tells you whenever you are
|
|
||||||
dealing with any addiction, not just social media. Think about it. The
|
|
||||||
same brain that is telling you that you should keep using social media
|
|
||||||
for meaningless reasons is the one telling you that it is not affecting
|
|
||||||
you.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Social media is a constant source of comparison. You open it up, view a
|
|
||||||
few triggering posts, find out that your favourite actor has passed
|
|
||||||
away, and see your friends perfect lives. Before closing the app, you
|
|
||||||
apply filters to yourself and edit the picture as much as possible for
|
|
||||||
your stories to make yourself look artificially good.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You see, not only is social media fake, it also has an absurd effect on
|
|
||||||
your mental health. It has been proven that many social media platforms
|
|
||||||
track you to show you personalised content. They use human psychology to
|
|
||||||
hook you onto their platforms.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There are two chemicals in your brain that are responsible for
|
|
||||||
happiness:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{itemize}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Dopamine - released when you are anticipating something good
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Endorphin - released when you are happy
|
|
||||||
\end{itemize}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
In many cases, the effect of dopamine is much greater than the effect of
|
|
||||||
endorphins. Recall back to a young age when you realised you were about
|
|
||||||
to receive a toy that you had been waiting for for a few days. The
|
|
||||||
feeling you got when you realised you would get it soon was more intense
|
|
||||||
than the actual feeling of getting the toy.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The same trick applies on social media. Many social media platforms show
|
|
||||||
you content that is completely different from the content that you like
|
|
||||||
just before showing you content that you really like. This results in
|
|
||||||
more dopamine being released, with a good amount of endorphin being
|
|
||||||
released as well. To your brain, it has just achieved something great
|
|
||||||
when, in reality, you have not.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Constantly high dopamine and endorphin releases raise your base
|
|
||||||
happiness levels. This is why things that you used to love now seem
|
|
||||||
boring to you. It is not \textquotesingle growing up\textquotesingle. It
|
|
||||||
is your social media addiction.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Social media metrics also contribute to this. It makes you think that
|
|
||||||
likes and comments are proportional to your worth, which is simply not
|
|
||||||
the case. When you get a like, it is a form of validation that you are
|
|
||||||
valuable to someone. Someone not liking your post does not mean that you
|
|
||||||
are not valuable.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
FOMO (fear of missing out) plays a big role as well. The phrase:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\emph{"If everyone is using {[}insert anything here{]}, why
|
|
||||||
shouldn\textquotesingle t I?"}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
is commonly said by an individual who experiences FOMO without the thing
|
|
||||||
in question. There is a constant fear of missing out on information,
|
|
||||||
which simply will not happen. You may miss some arbitrary information
|
|
||||||
that you would not care about otherwise, but this is not a reason at all
|
|
||||||
to continue using social media.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To hook you into their addiction, social media companies hire "attention
|
|
||||||
designers" who take references and inspiration from casinos to keep you
|
|
||||||
hooked.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Before ending this unexpectedly long section, I would like you to read
|
|
||||||
this quote.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\emph{"You\textquotesingle re either on, and you\textquotesingle re
|
|
||||||
connected and distracted all the time, or you\textquotesingle re off,
|
|
||||||
but then you\textquotesingle re wondering, Am I missing something
|
|
||||||
important? In other words, you\textquotesingle re either distracted or
|
|
||||||
you have a fear of missing out."}

\hypertarget{privacy}{%

\subsubsection{Privacy}\label{privacy}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you post everything you do on social media, there is no longer any
|
|
||||||
privacy. Anything you do is public information. If you have a
|
|
||||||
\textquotesingle private\textquotesingle{} account, your friends know
|
|
||||||
everything you do. There is no privacy at all if you keep posting
|
|
||||||
everything on social media.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Then there is the elephant in the room.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\textbf{Digital Privacy.}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is well-known that apps like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and some
|
|
||||||
Google apps collect your data like their lives depend on it
|
|
||||||
(technically, they do). Everything from your name to your IP address and
|
|
||||||
phone number to even the amount of network requests you make or the
|
|
||||||
model of your phone. Not to mention, literally everything you do on the
|
|
||||||
app. This all goes to their servers and is used for more advertisements.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is pretty safe to say that your digital footprint, as it is called,
|
|
||||||
can be nearly eliminated by deleting your accounts. There are more steps
|
|
||||||
that you have to take to take care of your privacy, but preventing data
|
|
||||||
collection from big corporations is a huge step.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{fake-news}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{Fake News}\label{fake-news}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Fake news. It\textquotesingle s everywhere. Even the worst social media
|
|
||||||
addict cannot deny it. You see parody pages that copy the design of
|
|
||||||
famous news channels perfectly and post random news. You see people edit
|
|
||||||
images to exaggerate or divert the subject of an article. There is not
|
|
||||||
much that I need to say. You know what I mean.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{sleep}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{Much Worse Sleep}\label{sleep}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The blue-light from your phone tricks your brain into thinking
|
|
||||||
it\textquotesingle s daytime. So, when you use your phone late into the
|
|
||||||
night scrolling on your social media feed, it makes you feel less
|
|
||||||
sleepy.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When this happens, do you know what most people do? They pick up their
|
|
||||||
phones again since they cannot sleep, thinking that they will sleep in
|
|
||||||
30 minutes when they are sleepy. This cycle goes on. Many individuals of
|
|
||||||
Generation Z do not sleep the whole night for many days on end and
|
|
||||||
instead take naps in the afternoon. Does this sound healthy to you?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And no, using a blue-light filter does not fix the issue. It only
|
|
||||||
slightly reduces its effect.

When you spend hours and hours a day sitting down with no exercise or

action apart from flicking your thumb, what do you think will happen?

Many individuals who use social media are experiencing these problems,
|
|

which are usually experienced by older people, at ages like 25.

When you are working and are in the zone (a phase in which you do
|
|
||||||
high-quality work without even thinking about it), any minor disturbance
|
|
||||||
will move you out of that state. A notification about someone liking
|
|
||||||
your post can shake you out of the zone. In the long-term, this will
|
|
||||||
waste hours of your time.

|

|
|
||||||
So, you are ready. You want to quit social media and break this horrible
|
|
||||||
addiction. You realise the effects it has on your life. However, you do
|
|
||||||
not know where to start. If this is the case, check out
|
|
||||||
\href{https://www.staygrounded.online/p/the-air-method-phase-i}{\textquotesingle The
|
|
||||||
AIR Method\textquotesingle{}}. If you would like to read how I did it,
|
|
||||||
please refer to the steps below. Referring to the steps I took may help
|
|
||||||
you understand your weak points and how to combat them.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{contact}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{1. Alternative Contact Details}\label{contact}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Make a list of all of your friends and cross out the ones that you know
|
|
||||||
can be reached on other chat applications. Ask the rest for alternative
|
|
||||||
contact methods. This may be through apps like Signal, Session, XMPP,
|
|
||||||
Matrix, or WhatsApp. Just make sure that it is not another social media
|
|
||||||
app.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{download}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{2. Download Your Data}\label{download}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Download your data to refer to in the future. Most social media
|
|
||||||
platforms include chats along with it so that you can refer back to the
|
|
||||||
chats if needed. A website like
|
|
||||||
\href{https://justgetmydata.com/}{JustGetMyData} will allow you to
|
|
||||||
quickly get to this section. Most websites place it in places which are
|
|
||||||
difficult to access to prevent people from deleting their accounts.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{healthy-apps}{%
|
|

\subsubsection{3. Start Using Healthier Apps}\label{healthy-apps}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Quitting social media \textquotesingle cold-turkey\textquotesingle{}
|
|
||||||
(abruptly) may work for the first few days but it will cause you to fail
|
|
||||||
completely. It is better to slowly reduce your usage by using healthier
|
|
||||||
apps.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you haven\textquotesingle t already, start using RSS feeds. There is
|
|
||||||
nothing wrong with using old technology. RSS provides you with a similar
|
|
||||||
feed to social media but with content you actually like and want to
|
|
||||||
read. It is managed by you, not an algorithm. You read what you want and
|
|
||||||
stop. There is no algorithm or endless feed that compells you to keep
|
|
||||||
using the app.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I am going to make a post about RSS feeds soon. It will be updated here.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{announce}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{4. Announce}\label{announce}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It is also important to announce that you are deleting your accounts.
|
|
||||||
This may not be necessary if you have less than five friends you talk to
|
|
||||||
on your accounts but it is important if you have many friends. This
|
|
||||||
announcement will allow your friends to contact you and tell you their
|
|
||||||
alternative forms of contact. It will also allow people to know that you
|
|
||||||
are leaving for good.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{plunge}{%
|
|
||||||
\subsubsection{5. Take The Plunge!}\label{plunge}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The moment you have been waiting for. Click on the delete button.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is much easier said than done, however. Most social media accounts
|
|
||||||
have a grace period during which if you login to your account, your
|
|
||||||
account deletion will be cancelled. For Instagram, the grace period is 1
|
|
||||||
month. To combat this, I did the following:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
\tightlist
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Removed all recovery options (phone number, 2FA) from my accounts and
|
|
||||||
changed my email to one from \href{https://temp-mail.org/}{TempMail}
|
|
||||||
to prevent password reset
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Generated a random 128-character password in
|
|
||||||
\href{https://bitwarden.com/password-generator/}{Bitwarden (my
|
|
||||||
password manager)}
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Changed my account password to the new password
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Deleted my account
|
|
||||||
\item
|
|
||||||
Immediately delete all records of the password and restart your device
|
|
||||||
to clear it from your clipboard
|
|
||||||
\end{enumerate}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
These steps were drastic but they practically cemented the fact that my
|
|
||||||
account was going to be deleted, no matter what.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
\hypertarget{conclusion}{%
|
|

\subsection[Conclusion]{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
There is not much left to say. I am much, much happier without social
|
|
||||||
media. I have more time on my hands and I am still getting the
|
|
||||||
information I want from RSS feeds without an algorithm trying to pull me
|
|
||||||
in. Big corporations have much less data about me, I have a lot of time
|
|
||||||
and have produced a lot of work. In terms of academics, my overall
|
|
||||||
percentage in school has increased by over 20\%. I find difficult
|
|
||||||
subjects easier and easy subjects a piece of cake.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All in all, if you care about yourself, delete your social media. It is
|
|
||||||
a hellhole that is getting worse by the day.
