Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
  • Β 

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Bruh you don't need root for this man. Just set up NextDNS with the Private DNS feature in Android, or use AdAway if you have a free Vpn slot.

    [–] rush@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    There's other reasons to use Magisk for this instead, like not having a VPN slot free or wanting to use another DNS Server

    Sure, but rooting your phone fundamentally destroys the security model https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/android.html#rooting

    I know.

    Not only have I written about this before on related forums, but also have I talked and partially written about the AVBRoot Project and others which bring root access closer to the Android security model.

    [–] Dehydrated@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    Your project sounds great, but it only addresses one part of the issue. But verified boot is far from the only security concept broken by root. Android uses the principal of least privilege (which makes a lot of sense, it's actually used by a lot software). With root, a user-installed app runs with higher privileges than most parts of the entire operating system.

    IDK I just found it in a Telegram group, but a simple search can find you what you want.

    Well i don't exactly trust a website that i have never seen before with root access to my phone (well their application anyways)
