lol, i don't, it just reminds me of him, right?

This is very in depth, can i use a voip phone with vpn and signal? Anyone tried that? And im curious, do any voip services accept bitcoin/lightning?

apparently my npub is banned from freespeech.casa

is that anything to do with jameson lopp?

is there any irony in one of the most freewheeling and outspoken voices on nostr being banned by a relay that is called "freespeech"?

well, i guess this is a taste of things to come as the rabbles and other commies join the fray and make their little bubbles

good on them, but i'll remove that from my relay list and inbox/outbox fine

Unfortunately can’t be used. The dumb asses in Australia are smart enough to recognise what’s a digital sim, but dumb enough to think SIM 2FA is safe 😆

Took me 2hrs to change a 2FA phone number for a legacy bank account bc their broken system couldn’t send text messages when requested (got them all at once 70min later on 5th attempt).

But the DUMBEST part…

They sent the confirmation of phone number change to the NEW number 😆

These are the same idiots telling you to KYC & perform all sorts of other security theatre online.

You can change the IMEI in some devices.

If you're going to keep airplane mode on 100% of the time, why would you have a device with a cellular modem? If you're going to turn airplane mode off, your backdoor is open. It's just a thing we have to accept for now if we want to have phones.

Someday we'll have better hardware.

but you have verified gaussmeter evidence that it is true?

edward snowden himself demonstrated a phone case about 13 years ago that showed that even in airplane mode and even when turned off most phones emit radio signals

welcome to 13 years ago, it's way way way worse now

Get yourself an esim router and change anonymous esim regularly. Only ever connect your phone via wifi. Use built in VPN/Tor in the router.

@silentlink

What do you think about silent.link ? It seems that it provides much better privacy if you only use data roaming.

afaik graphene doesn't hide imei's yet or maybe never wil

Grid scale solar and wind are a wealth extraction scheme for cantilionaires in California, Texas, the EU, and other places with central planner diktat.

Unreliable energy sources make the grid fragile, increase energy poverty, and make businesses uncompetitive.

Finishing up another #nostr day.

The data and messages and activites that your baseband processor in your mobile phone gets up to... nobody talks about. The manufacturers don't release documentation, the mobile phone networks don't either, and you cannot find out. They even don't disclose things in court, arguing against even high level discussion of what these things get up to.

These processors are not beholden to Android at all, they are totally independent, lower. They can listen in to your conversations, listen to your microphone (or use the speaker as a microphone) and Android would have no idea --- no App can protect you, no Android fork can protect you from these things. GrapheneOS does not protect you from this stuff.

And remember, mobile phone networks are mostly ancient unnecessary tech stacks. All we really need is Internet Protocol. We don't need SMS or calls, we can do VoIP and all kinds of messaging (like nostr or signal) over the Internet. All we really need these days is an Internet connection, not the old text/call stuff.

BUT if you remove your SIM and maybe even poke a hole through your baseband chip, you won't be able to get on the Internet while travelling, you will be stuck with WiFi.

seems to be the only way to travel now - bring dummy 2nd phone nostr:note1faszd2u04z062m3l3etseaa5accrwr6fdxmzegw6wzdz88qpaysqahgycq

not a fan of this trend where companies don't put their phone number on their own website so you have to look on google maps instead
