   The most secure Photos app

   I have always been worried abou the fact that my photos were not stored on the cloud privately. Meaning anyone with the access to the server could see my photos. I am glad that I found ente. It's end to end encrypted

   🏁 Competitors: Google Photos, Photos on macOS, Amazon Photos, Cryptee

   👍 Pros:    End to end encrypted|Open-source|Feature rich

   👎 Cons:    Less storage

• FireChat was a tool for revolution. Then it disappeared

  Would Briar be a good alternative? https://briarproject.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 24 days ago

• LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices

  So it requires lan network? Can it work over bluetooth? Like Briar https://briarproject.org. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Anonymous option for communicating with sources

• Ash HN: My country is undergoing a coup, which encryption software should I use?

  Use briar. Use LineageOS without gapps (aka without Google Play Services). Obviously don't use Meta or Google apps, because that's where the backdoors are for governments. Use AppWarden to enable/disable/verify the usage of known trackers in your apps. Use NetGuard as an Android firewall.

• free tools to get internet

  Briar is a messenger that can use wifi, data, or bluetooth to send messages to anyone else with the app by automatically trying whichever connection works, this can be useful if only one of these options is functioning where you are. Source: 12 months ago

• Ask HN: Alternatives to Google Photos

  Hey, we're building Ente[1] as an end-to-end encrypted alternative to Google Photos. If it helps, Ente has been previously discussed on HN[2][3]. We support imports from Google Takeout[4], and we stitch together metadata from their sidecar files to make your library whole. We also support Family Plans[5] and have open source apps[6] for every platform. Let me know if you have any questions, would be happy to help!... - Source: Hacker News / 11 days ago

• Ask HN: What is your approach for managing personal digital assets?

  I religiously use Google contacts. It's the simplest way to keep people contacts up to date on Android. I archive all important documents in specific folders by subject and date. This is backed up to back blaze with restic. https://restic.net/ I use https://ente.io for pictures. I convinced my wife to use it, and she agreed to auto share her photos so I don't nag her for copies. It had simple import from Facebook... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

  How is it compared to https://ente.io/ ? - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Ask HN: Spreadsheets like Google Sheets but not from Google?

  I can highly recommend Ente Photos[0]. It has automatic backup, and a very good replication architecture for maximum reliability[1]. It's also super easy to use and everything is encrypted by default. [0] https://ente.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
