100% of the time I’m behind a vpn.

I figure if/when they start selling maybe they will expand. Likely, years away. I can wait.

Doesn’t matter who the partners are if the vehicle doesn’t collect and transmit data.

I was gonna post about Slate. Awesome stuff. A shame they don’t ship to or build in Canada.

I couldn’t agree more.

From the article

"In recent months, hints emerged concerning Apple’s plans to introduce camera-equipped AirPods Pro; the cameras would be designed to pick up details of your ambient surroundings and feed information to Siri to help you with your life.

At one point, we heard the product had been pulled citing privacy concerns. But that doesn’t seem to be the case, as the latest seemingly orchestrated Apple “leak” offers up a short video to explain how these things are going to work."

Infosec Exchange allows for 10,000 11,000 words per post.

On my Android, Brave gave a different fingerprint both times I visited.

The site thinks both times was my first visit.

The site believes I have either a 4 core or 2 core cpu. I have an Octa-core.

Also, it shows a different display size both times.

Nearly all sites like this can do nothing without javascript turned on.

I’m curious to see how Librewolf is, but that will wait until after work.

Librewolf is a good browser. Not bloated with features and doesn’t have AI installed by default.

It’s my understanding that Tor is primarily a way to access the clearnet while darkweb access was added as an afterthought. I don’t see Tor solving the problem of I.D. verification on social media, for example.

I2p was designed as a completely separate network. Haven’t used it myself but this seems the way to go for most day to day activity.

Unable to watch porn.

Torrent the porn. I’ve seen plenty on offer at TPB.

Required to give your real name and ID in order to use social media.

Arrested for “mean tweets”, “anti-government views”, “liking subversive memes”, etc

Have your own domain from https://njal.la/ bought with Monero and create a single user instance for Lemmy or Mastodon should allow you to remain anonymous and avoid being arrested.

Only be allowed to use approved applications from Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc

Will Tor and I2P be approved by Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc? There will always be FOSS and there will always be a way to install alternative OSs on computers.

Set your downlink speed to 10-15mbps to acclimatize yourself

I’ve heard I2P is fairly quick, torrenting is encouraged.

Use bookmarks or password manager notes to have the URLs of your commonly used programs, services, and repos (#Monero, #XMRBazaar, #Pitch, #Dread, etc.)

Been doing so for years. You might have a hard time finding someone in the privacy community that doesn’t do this.

Get used to text messages instead of audio or video calls. (Audio and video use UDP and generally give your real IP to either a central STUN server or the other peer. (it may be possible to force audio and video calls over TCP exclusively, but the latency would be high and therefore make the call unenjoyable.)

Messaging via Signal is my go to. Rarely do I even have my voip app active.

https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ is a decent way of avoiding some ai generated junk.

My dad is thinking of ditching his smartphone for a flip … he also has a T480. No way am i putting this idea in his head.

I totally agree and I feel the same.

The new owner had posted in the Syncthing forum and has catfriend1. I’m comfortable using the fork.

I know what the 10a costs, bought one a few weeks ago. Worth every penny.

Eos is not GrapheneOS

It that case, it is worth trying. Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up on Nym. I’ll have a look at iVPN.

I’m going with Nym when my Mullvad sub is up. If I can get a refund from Mullvad without KYCing myself, I’ll do so earlier.

Nym runs your traffic through 5 nodes or 2 nodes (a nixnet) depending on user selected setting. Node operators are paid in crypto based on the number of packets they handle. The CEO is an anarchist and expects to be in prison at some point. Nym is designed to continue running even if all the higher ups are in prison.

I’m not a customer, just got all this from an interview with the CEO on with TheHatedOne.

Edit: This is the interview I mentioned https://www.bitchute.com/video/uoyDTW2nxWk

How do you feel about an AI agent being in the distro? There is no privacy with a free AI agent.
