Just an ordinary OpSec anarchist cypherpunk-fan pleb trying to evade the Orwellian dystopy.

only order hardware wallets directly from the creator.

What about #Ledger , which has a secure chip, too

#GrapheneOS is state of the art and easy to install, but you need a Google fone to install it. So this solution is expensive and you are on Google hardware. If you have an older fone, check if it is supported by #LineageOS or #CalyxOS, in combination with a App separator, firewall, VPNs and DNS resolver software on your fone like #Island or #Insular or #Shelter ; #AFWall+ : #AdAway or #DNS66 or #TrackerControl ; maybe #MullvadVPN

- centralized, closed source node servers

- fone number and email identification

- no default E2EE

- no E2EE group chats

- Durov blackmailed by French government

- compliance with EU ("hate speech", "misinformation")

- many undercover agents luring you into saying or doing something illegal

It's a big honeypot

It all depends on your use case. If you want to be more anonymous/opsec, use Tor and donate to this great project.

VPN services are companies that have to comply to the laws of the countries where they are located ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes ). You actually only change your exit point provider who has all your data stored.

Imho VPN services only make sense if you dont run your own VPN server or you're in an unsafe environment like hotel wifi or you like to permanently circumvent geoblocking on a high stream rate. To be safer in potential malicious environments you might want to set up your own VPN to your home or on a cheap paid VPS.

If you still want a paid VPN provider, the only I would recommend is MullvadVPN.

I dont have any USDT, so I dont use any wallets like that. Sorry I cannot recommend any.

I'm trying to extract this video of a speech I gave last night (I want to extract the audio and put it in my podcast):

https://vimeo.com/event/4945872

Every. Single. Vimeo. Downloader. Fails.

They all give some variety of 404 or 505.

Does anyone have a RELIABLE Vimeo download recipe that works with THIS file?

Thank you!

youtube-dl or yt-dlp should work

The less closed source code the better. Apple is 100% closed source.

Have a look at #GrapheneOS or maybe #LineageOS.

Use Amethyst over Tor and donate the money you wpuld have spent on VPN services to the Tor project.

Paid VPN services imho dont make sense in most cases, it's just marketing.

You men carbon based intelligent life forms with brain? Havent seen any for long time...
