Discussion
Is that a joke?
No, or i wouldnt have asked. I have heard twilio mentioned as an alternative to mysudo for setting up voip and i know fuck all about twilio.
No offense intended. I was just confused by the question. Who suggested it as a mysudo replacement?
YT channel NaomiBrockwellTV. Speaking about voip for privacy and gives mysudo as an easier alternative than setting up Twilio.
Im not easily offended, been wrong or said stupid things in the past. Ill do it again im sure
Every message you send through Twilio is logged.
Every phone number you rent is tied to metadata.
Every call routed through their system is recorded, indexed, and available to authorities on request often without a warrant.
Twilio isn’t evil in the comic book sense. They’re just built for business and their business is data.
VoIP provider you like? I'm most interested in finding one where my number can't be sim jacked because the account and number are behind hardware 2fa.
I used mysudo for a long time. Good company but I did run into a lot of services that wouldn't take a generated number from them. For my spam trap I actually signed up for a burner google account and then made a google voice account. This is the number I give when they want me to sign up for something or get texted when my table is ready. You didn't say what the purpose is but you can 2FA a fake google account.
I have heard some people use google voice for some of what I want. Phone 2fa and a number behind their signal account only.
I'd like to also protect the number I use for texting normies who won't get on encrypted comms. I don't want to give google all those messages and calls to do it.
I use signal for all my communications with my friends and family. SimpleX with people I don't know that well. Google voice number for spam trap. My actual phone number i don't use for anything. I have it set to silent and never look at it.
I used to stress out and try to juggle numbers and communication paths for normies and then one day I had enough. I let everyone know that if you want to contact me then you have to go through signal. That I will not be checking any other numbers and you will not get a response from me.
Most people were surprisingly adaptive
Sadly, still using my phone for fiat mine stuff.
Jealous that you can do that everywhere. I did it to the grandparents. "My wife and I will no longer be sending any pics or information about our kids over unencrypted methods. Get on signal or go without"
