Android has an extensive application sandboxing mechanism

If you actually read the post, you would have known, it does work, but there are some privacy concerns with it:

“However, in 2024, the situation changed: balenaEtcher started sharing the file name of the image and the model of the USB stick with the Balena company and possibly with third parties.”

Just use dd. It’s not that hard. You pass it 2 arguments: if= the file you want to flash, and of= the destination. If you’re feeling fancy, pass in some status=progress. And don’t forget to prepend it with sudo. That’s it.

Not sure why we need an abstracted layer for F-Droid.

Because the default F-Droid repository has some security issues: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/

IzzyOnDroid avoids this by using prebuilt binaries that are properly signed by the actual developers, instead of building and signing apps themselves like F-Droid does

It also doesn’t have as strict inclusion criteria as the default F-Droid repo, so it is able to offer more apps

If you need a traditional, unencrypted DNS service, check out Quad9 and AdGuard’s Public DNS. If you can use DoT or DoH, use LibreDNS or Mullvad DNS. If you want more customization, check out NextDNS.

What AI service is this? Claude?

The Ntfy Android app hasn’t been updated in almost a year, and in my experience it consumes more battery than Sunup.

Signal

No, it’s not a special “FOSS” version, it’s just the official binary distributed through the Guardian Project repo (as I have proven: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/16230276). If you want a FOSS variant, check out Signal-FOSS or Molly, they also offer a FOSS variant. You can either download it from their custom F-Droid repo, pull the APK from GitHub using Obtainium or get it from Accrescent.

You can also get it from Accrescent

Just make sure to set up UnifiedPush if you want to receive notifications while your Molly database is locked. I recommend the new Sunup UP distributor. I wanted to make a post about it in !unifiedpush@lemmy.dbzer0.com, but never got around to do it.

For Mollysocket, there are a few public instances. molly.adminforge.de is one of them. You can also set up your own on Fly.io, check out this repo: https://github.com/pcrockett/mollysocket-fly
Or you can obviously self-host it on any VPS or hardware that you own

Or via Accrescent

Thanks, I mean I used to work as a Java developer before, and I’m quite interested in the Android platform, so I’m familiar with the SDK and build tools, and know how app signatures work

But it’s really not that hard to figure out. There are countless guides on the internet, and as I said, Signal even has a quick guide for how to verify the APK signature on the download page

Unfortunately no

Please rename the thread to “Signal in the Guardian project F-Droid repo” or something like that to avoid confusion, because as you have noticed, it’s not available in the main F-Droid repo, just in the third-party repo maintained by the Guardian project

Takes like 2 minutes 😅

I know, it even says so in the post:

I just noticed today that Signal (not talking Molly) is now available on F-Droid via the “Guardian” repository.
