Or in a VM

Problem is, some of this software may likely be made to specifically not run in a VM, since it is supposed to keep track of everything the student is doing during exams.

I just realized I sound way too paranoid but it’s an interesting question

Nope. Not paranoid enough. If school/work requires such software, that goes onto a separate device only for those purposes, which will then be considered untrustworthy environment like any public computer.

Although perhaps in a sense it is paranoid compared to what others do. Recently I’ve had to get something printed without having own printer. I’ve found out people have no problem logging into their Google or Microsoft account on public PCs.
I brought the PDF on a CD.
There’s a certain small chance that something malicious could be written to a USB, and I don’t know about all the possible vulnerabilities. If mounted, perhaps the automatic media thumbnail generator could be exploited. That is probably paranoid, worrying about random software installed on your own computer is certainly not.

How are you doing it?

I only tried X11 forwarding over SSH. It was slow and ate up a Gigabit.

It still looks like that, aside from the datk mode issue, but only in landscape orientation.

I hope there will be at least some bypass using ADB like with older apps.

You didn’t say which signal.

No. Originally it was a testing username for UNIX shell. I just hit the keys randomly for numbers. Well, somebody verified my account, giving it higher value and making it not temporary.

Then SDF also made a Lemmy instance, and not understanding that being a separate product, I re-used the same username.

I think we just have to accept that no solution is 100%. You just need some balance between success and side effects.

As long as people can communicate, it will to some extent spread. So really, the only truly 100% solution would be a couple of nuclear bombs all around the world. Look at that, crime rates went to 0!

I am not really intelligent or knowledgeable enough to provide best-balance solutions.

Anyway, as far as limiting access to porn, perhaps it could be done privately. You could have some trusted verification platform, perhaps even government provided, deal with it with cryptographic signature, maybe as I said, I am too dumb for solutions.
My idea is, the website that wants to verify your age knows the public key of the government provided service used for this purpose (who already has your data anyway), and generates some random data in base64. You copy that, paste it into the verification website, they sign it, and give you the base64-encoded response. You then paste the response into website that wants to verify your age, it verifies the signature and then that you’re 18+.

Basically just trusted authority saying “verified being 18+”. The website doesn’t know who you are, verification system doesn’t know what you wanted that verification for.

Of course, you could verify that for anyone else, but I can also walk into a shop, buy cigarettes, alcohol and give them to a kid. Not 100%, but good enough.

Linux

I control and monitor everything they do in them

Some software recommendations? I mean, I don’t have kids, but I like Linux and it doesn’t hurt to know where to perhaps point someone.
So far I only seen Veyon in action, but only for monitoring and remote control of multiple PCs, which probably doesn’t fit home environment.

They were floppy though?

At least 8 inch, and 5.25 inch. 3.5 only on the inside (unless enough force is applied xD).

And I specifically had luck with OpenVPN TCP on port 443 on network which DPI-blocked Wireguard.

From my tests, not fully. And neither did just aluminum foil. Wrapping the phone in aluminum foil + putting it into microwave oven (off, of course) did the trick.

I was doing this a lot to force automatic band switching into what I liked, until I got a phone where that can be done manually.

Phone acting as tablet. Settings “smallest width” to 600dp or more triggers tablet mode on Android, which changes certain UI elements to, in my opinion, make more sense on average near 7" smartphones. At least for me as I am a landscape-first user.

So, since I already screwed up my homescreen layout by toggling this now, I’ll give you screenshots to compare between 423 (smallest in regular settings) and 705dp (what I use). 423 on left, 705 on right.

Took me longer than I anticipated, but anyway:

Sorry for the JPEG, original was 18MB.

Notice the difference in keyboard layout, and 3 button navigation with app icons and app drawer.

You should be able to click the image to open it, at least on LemmyUI.

Release doesn’t even have tab bar yet.

Beta does, but only has the new menu and homepage doesn’t count as tab like on desktop and doesn’t support DoH, like on desktop.

Nightly is most feature-complete.

But I’ll have to figure out how to check existing and report new bugs. Search may not work when I hit enter, opening links with Firefox just opens the homepage, only when I click back does it actually open the link, screenshots sometimes don’t work, but only after I go to tab menu and then back, and the bottom-most thing in homepage is cut-off, so I use the stories as padding (might be related to custom high system-wide DPI).

I just changed it back right when I figured out how.

This is my day 2 of trying Firefox on Android (coming from Opera), so it’s not like I was already used to it.

About Firefox Nightly -> Tap the FF logo a few times -> Secret settings -> Enable menu redesign off

It’s already not only in Nightly, but Beta too, so probably soon in release.

I still have that, but with the tab bar.

Edit:

I think the eID should be unique and gets transmitted.

That’s probably the ID that forbids me from installing (another) speedtest eSIM, though “ID” could also refer to IMEI perhaps. I’d have to try another phone.

Error code: ES10B_ERROR_REASON_UNDEFINED

Last APDU response (from SIM) is successful

Based on this, it is a part of the transmitted information, if I understand it right: https://www.sharetechnote.com/html/Handbook_LTE_eSIM.html

How though? Commercial VPNs that simply function as proxies, sure. VPN as in the protocols themselves? Not possible without breaking too much stuff.
