Techlore on Odysee

F-Droid 2.0 is the biggest update to the FOSS Android app store in a decade. I walk through the redesign, the new search + filters, install prompts that finally come *before* the download (thanks, EU DMA!), automatic updates, Tor VPN, signer info, adding third-party repos, and more!

Congress now has two site-blocking bills, and one of them would force VPNs and encrypted DNS providers to block websites for Americans. Plus: ShinyHunters hacked the FBI and someone stole 3 million Pentagon personnel records, Chat Control 2.0 stalled in the EU (for now), and Meta's Muse AI agent is already off to an a*muse*ing start to privacy and security.

DNS quietly reveals everywhere you go online - even on encrypted sites. In this interview, John Todd (CTO at Quad9) provides a DNS masterclass: how DNS works, the privacy implications, how to change your DNS, why Quad9 collects nothing on you, why they are being sued, DNS vs. VPNs, and how a nonprofit can fund itself without compromising privacy.
