Ive got it running now. One VPN on each profile with no issues.
One of the privacy benefits not mentioned in the guide is that you can run two separate profiles in Calyx that are segregated.
You can then keep a "personal" profile that includes data and contacts etc. And a "work" profile that has apps that you want to keep restricted which cannot access the personal profile.
You can then run two VPNs at the same time one in each profile. This is useful if want to run Orbot perminantly in one profile.
Then using something like self hosted Nextcloud or Syncthing (both on Start9 Embassy) you can back up your data / photos etc to your own server rather than a cloud provider.
I guess operating a P2P platform like Robosats is similar to operating a coinjoin one in terms of government coming after the central party.
Maybe in the future it will be possible to spin up alternative Robosats similar to the way Whirlpool are planning with coordinators.
I think Robosats is killing it at the moment. P2P over lightning is so quick and easy and the process is intuitive.
You can host it yourself on for example Start9, but the process still centralised. Not sure how you get round that as someone needs to be the third party for resolving disputes. Maybe having multiple implementations of Robosats to have more than one centralised party would go some way towards it. But it needs more liquidity for that.
Liquidity is key, all services need more people using them instead of centralised exchanges as this will give a better experience for everyone.

I've overhauled and updated my "Privacy First Steps" guide, including adding a section on email aliasing services ✍️

If you haven't read through it before, this post is how I would approach the journey towards personal privacy (even down to the order!) if I could do it all over again. I think this is one of my most actionable and helpful pieces of content, so I'm glad to be able to share it with Nostr for the first time!
Would love to hear any feedback you all have, or if you'd do things differently!
The fun starts with SimpleLogin when you name your email Companyx@ Simple Login and Company X are also using Simple Login so their address is also Companyx @ Simple Login. Then you both get confused about who is emailing who and who said what :D
I had no idea that was a thing!
I get a new rug for free every week.
ours not even managing SundaysPomeranians are either sleeping or going crazy, no middle ground apart from 10 minutes of eating. I have 6 of them.
They are attempting to erode freedoms across the board. Movement, encryption, payments, introduction of a CBDC. They will not be happy until everything is monitored and controlled they way they have centrally planned.
Nice I had a 2003 E39 530i Msport Touring in silver. Only car I ever regretted selling. Lots of electrics to go wrong but a dream to drive.
Currently got a 2006 Discovery with 380k miles on the clock which is a workhorse and a ticking time bomb for a big repair.

Probably Sevilla cathedral, in fact Sevilla has a lot of really impressive architecture, the bullring is quite intimidating when you are standing in the middle if it (Real Maestranza de Caballería).

Its pretty good and over Tor but is quick. You can also run your own Robosats Instance on Start9.
Your videos are a great breakdown of how things work & give people the confidence to try something for the first time. My favourite non KYC is Robosats. HodlHodl is great, but Robosats using Lightning is so fast and more convenient, especially now they have an Android app. I know you have a video on it.
