  • To piggy back on JMP.chat, pair it with Snikket (usually paying for jmp gets you a free Snikket acct) and you can use that with Cheogram app if you want calling capability.

    It sounds convoluted, but jmp provides the number, Snikket is your “service” (XMPP), and Cheogram is the app/UI to use the service.

    It’s my primary number now. It works well. If I’m not at home or work for WiFi, I just hotspot my work phone (unlimited data) and connect since it’s technically over WiFi only unless you have a carrier-which I do not) but with jmp I picked a citation number and have 0 spam calls in 6+months, so I’m a happy camper.

    If anyone cares, I run Proton VPN with kill switch on any network as to obscure my connection, and it d call quality. I do have custom VPN settings to work more locally and custom DNS, but YMMV.















  • But if you’re not running multiple tabs, or in private tab view, and you’re not allowing most or any cookies, then they’re going to have a harder time following what you do and where you go.

    1. Use a solid VPN
    2. Use Firefox derivative (Waterfox and Libre Wolf, feel free to use multiple to separate tracking)
    3. Use pivate tab mode
    4. Use Privacy Badger (EFF)
    5. Use Port Authority (highly rated port scan blocker to block network port scanning from LexisNexis)
    6. Close unused tabs
    7. Clear cache and cookies on exit
    8. Disable unused network stuff (WiFi and/or data, GPS, BT, NFC, anything that’s not required that could be used for location scanning)
    9. On Android 15+ iirc, disabled mic and/or camera permissions until necessary. Most people don’t talk on the phone anymore so it’s rare you need the mic (unblock for camera)

  • Having a unique fingerprint I swear is just a way to scare people into compliance. Unique doesn’t always mean known. Sure, it’s unique that they can’t track you so well. Oh no…

    I feel if 1 out of 200 people had this unique fingerprint, it’d be hard to distinguish who’s actually who. No distinct way to really differentiate with such little data being allowed to be gathered.
