Finito. Now explain how you get that done with your YAWN client. That is definitely a good feature. Unfortunately, writing a conversion routine will take a lot of time that I don't have right now. Each news client also has different ways to display messages. I also don't have any ability to determine what and how many headers you display with your news reader. I use a clipboard text converter that I wrote myself to convert message text that I have copied to the clipboard and then just paste them into my client and post. I could possibly make it available, but you would have to figure out how to use it. It takes manually setting up the conversion parameters. However, I cringe to think of the complaints I will probably receive on how it will not work with your news client. |

Same way I would reply to a post using any other Tor aware mixmaster client, be creative and compensate. Reply to a post using news client, copy all, paste into QSL, it gets formatted nicely, I write a response, then post. Same is true for the YAMN client except I copy and paste the end result from QSL into the YAMN client window and click send. I made a template in QSL that works fine with YAMN. Takes less than two seconds to copy paste send. Replied to your post using YAMN. |

However, I cringe to think of the complaints I will probably receive on how it will not work with your news client. Actually, YAMNclient has a reformating routine in it already. I had forgotten about it. It is kind of flaky now, but I will look into fixing it. Copy the headers and message out of your news agent into the clipboard. Then right click on the YAMNclient window and click the format item. It will paste the message into the window formatted to resend. Use the upper left button on the interface to add marks. I will try to clean this up sometime soon. |

That's why a long time ago I moved on from my Mixmaster client to the Omnimix Mixmaster proxy server, and never looked back. Times change, tools change. |

I prefer to compose all my messages with mature mail/news client software without lowering my stamdards for anonymous conversations. Feels as if nowadays Copy&Paste sessions are somewhat uncool. While Omnimix and QSL, for that matter, are mature and nice products, people like for example the option to communicate anonymously* with Android or Linux smart phones and not Desktop or Notebook devices only. *It should be possible (I have no second Android phone yet) to install YAMN on a second Android smart phone, without a SIM-card and WiFi switched off and then securely transfer the encrypted YAMN payload to the (compromised) online usage Android smart phone. Looking around, Windows smart phones are quite expensive, if I am not mistaken and in order to run Omnimix (offline) on a second Android smart phone Omnimix would need to run under ARM architecture to be used with Wine 3.0, assuming Omnimix and all it's components run properly under Wine, regardless if x86 or ARM.

It would be nice if you or someone else can post a URL for reference. Could it be the case that if GPS tracking is active, that Google can get the informations from there? Or better asked what kind of informations can Google obtain? Anyways once Linux smart phones becomes more and more popular we should not worry much, right? Android is a type of Linux. Non-Android Linux phones don’t have much traction in the marketplace. Even die-hard Tuxers sometimes need standard apps, and Linux phones lack access to most phone apps. They may/may not have access to desktop Linux apps, I don’t know. I suspect that using LibreOffice or the GIMP on a smart phone might be... interesting; info on that point from someone who’s tried it is requested. https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market...bile/worldwide says that non-Android or non-iOS phones have less than 0.5% of the marketplace, total, with Android having roughly three quarters and iOS roughly one quarter of the total market. The share of non-Android/non-iOS phones is within the rounding error range for all phones. Linux phones which are not Android are a fraction of the less than 0.5%. I invite correction on the figures or a pointer to a more accurate source or both. Relevant Linux phone URLs include: https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/pureos-mobile/ https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._mobile_phones https://tuxphones.com/2020-everythin...rtphone-guide/ especially that last one, which gives some detail on available Linux phone OSes, apps, and how to put a Linux OS on your phone. I actually have an old, dead, Android phone which I might have used to try out some of the ideas there. Unfortunately, it ran Gingerbread when it was alive, and it didn’t run Gingerbread well; my experience with that phone was sufficient to make me ditch it in less than six months and get an iPhone instead.There’s no way that that thing would be a good candidate for becoming a TuxPhone. I do have an iPhone 6 which is not in regular use, but apparently Tux phone OSes and iPhones don’t go well together, so that’s out, too. It seems that you would need a relatively new (2012 was mentioned as the cutoff date) device with good RAM, storage, and CPU (which eliminates lots of landfill Android) and not locked to a telco and not an iOS device. It also seems that very few of those who have devices which qualify have actually installed a Tux OS. |

It also seems that very few of those who have devices which qualify have actually installed a Tux OS. I think whether users decides to use Android or real Linux phones the a.p.a-s community should discuss secure and anonymous mobile communications, because when two relatively cheap mobile devices can be used it has the IMHO big advantage of the form factor, compared to carrying a smart phone and a more expensive Notebook. The things that should be explored and documented in a.p.a-s is what people would recommend for two mobile devices and what secure techniques people can use to transfer securely between the two devices, without worrying that the second offline device gets easily compromised. While my Android smart phone is currently not loaded with all the tools I used, due to a factory reset, I can tell people what I have used so far. As some of you may know I installed Termux (free on Android PlayStore) along with Golang, Rust, clang and Python. Termux is like you would work with Linux in CLI mode. You have also a packet manager. I have also tried out a free software from Android PlayStore which is called Serial USB Terminal, which allows one to connect via USB adapters and an USB FTDI cable to connect to a computer. What I did not tried out is trying to transfer files with Serial USB Terminal. I only tested the connection with my Windows Desktop and the free CoolTerm (cross-platform) software and typed characters on both sides. With Termux I run successfully YAMN with socat and Tor. Since I had also Python installed I could have used Zax's aam2mail. Pullings stats and pub keys was also done via Tor with a shell script and not YAMN. Assuming that those Linux smart phones allow the installation of Golang, Rust, clang and Python, like Debian and friends does I would like to know, in case of ARM architecture, what serial communications programs can be used on them in order to transfer files? I ask this because my understanding is that with serial communications it is unlikely that the offline device can be compromised if the user compares hashes from the transfered files. Last but not least I also tried out, with a recently purchased dumb phone, with no Internet support, and it's included USB Micro cable and an adapter to create on a PC PGP messages which then was encoded with JAB-Code, transfered the .png image to the dumb phone and send it from there to my smart phone. checksums matched. While this is no anonymous communication it at least would allow also encrypted PGP communications, with an offline smart phone and a dumb phone via MMS, in case it is possible to navigate and copy from the smart phone to the dumb phone, like one could do with a computer.

I do a lot of reading and don't usually save addresses. The best android firewall I have found is 'LostNet NoRoot Firewall'. It uses a local VPN that it sets up on your phone, not some VPN on an external server that will most certainly sell your data. The only problem is that you can't add facebook to it. LostNet NoRoot Firewall is a bit hard to find because I think that google play has removed it from their store. Thanks for the info! I believe that the most secure phone now is GrapheneOS - https://grapheneos.org/. You can, at your own risk, load android apps on it and it doesn't come with facebook or other spyware. Good to know I will check this site out. Thanks! Regards Stefan |
