Technologist, radar engineer, data scientist, physicist... In short, jack-of-all-trades, master of none; often better than the master of one. #OpenScience #OpenSource Most importantly #Muslim

Daily #Nostr Check in:

The nice thing about life experience is that the older you get, the more confident you are at critical junctions of life.

Also, Bitcoin stash helps...

I don't know much about it, I know how it theoretically works. I have a SDR lying around that could be used as lab rat..

What's on your mind?

إنما الناس سطور كتبت لكن بماء

What are people but lines inscribed in water?

ما ضاقت إلا لتفرج... الحمد لك أنك ربي.. يا كريم

Good morning, #nostr.

I cannot wait for the summer to end.. I'm done with it..

I mean, if you set it up to be a minimum of say 21 satsand a max of, also, 21, you can avoid spam and have a fair vote.

You're free to participate or not. I'm not sure what the issue is..

Surely not option one, as enticing as it is, if adoption stops there , I'll be fine, but the long term prospect sucks

Option two, says basically $ value is irrelevant. And that basically I will start working for bitcoin, and I will be able to use it everyday.. I like this option better..

Option three, makes me a tiny bit wealthier now..

Easily option two..

The Myth of Airplane Mode

You're being lied to. Airplane mode does NOT hide your location. Google and Apple continue to collect it, by seeing what WiFi endpoints are near you, and then figuring out where you are through a process known as "WiFi Triangulation". [1]

Further, phones have two "brains", and the part that connects to the cell towers does NOT have to obey Airplane mode. This is called the "baseband modem", and airplane mode is an API request from the main motherboard to this modem, ASKING if it would PLEASE consider killing service.

And even worse, the baseband doesn't even need a SIM card. You can call 911 emergency without service, without wifi, just standing outside. Calyx Institute devs LIE about this on Matrix, but dial it and hear your local operator tell you the truth.

In fact, you don't even need to be the government to abuse this. Ralf-Philipp Weinmann of the University of Luxembourg demonstrated with just around $1500 in equipment, ANY RANDOM civilian hacker, who doesn't even work for the telecom, can FAKE being the cellphone tower near you. Source:

This is all why it's so critical to use GrapheneOS which helps against these types of attacks, and to buy your phone anonymously in cryptocurrency, because if you don't, it's essentially like a dog collar. At their will, they can see where you are, who you're standing near (if they have a phone too), and even turn the mics on to record.

My abusive competitors in the degoogled phone industry all charge way above Google's official store, and Google's search gives them traffic to make it harder to switch. For example on the model 8:

AbovePhone.com

Pixel 8: $999

DigitalPrivacy.shop

Pixel 8: $729

Google Official Store

Pixel 8: $599

While as I sell them BELOW the official store:

Simplified Privacy

Pixel 8: $499

PLUS you get a consult on its use, Why? Because I am on a mission. I need to get these phones, and the privacy that goes with it, in the hands of as many people as possible. And if Google search wants to oppress and censor our website, so be it. You and you alone deserve your data:

If only I found this post 4 months ago before I buy my current phone...

Do you have a resource that would help me install GrapheneOS on different phones?

Oh dear... I never compared the price of my eyeglasses to my phone...

I feel a little bit sick realizing that my glasses are typically more expensive..
