there are some cheap services on kycnot.me

1. move your closed source messengers to another phone
2. keep it always turned off additionally with all the graphene features, always at home, somewhere inconvenient
3. open it once a week, and you will see who needs to contact you will ask you for a better way to communicate

alternative in Europe: revolut is pretty popular, also it’s a good cheap way to buy xmr dexes

my opinion about nym VPN for now is… it’s not very stable, and it was very unstable up until recently

before two things were very very annoying that tree me off, first is the connection was getting stuck after exactly one hour saying that everything is connected when it wasn’t, and the second issue is partly of too many reconnects was that my *tb allowance was exhausted after 60gb which happened many months in a row

there are not as many nodes for the same country as I would like to have, and many nodes have not really good health (like websites ask for captcha or don’t let you in)

on the other hand, if without tax and paying for two years with crypto, you can get it very very very cheap

and nym promised to be very secure and etc, and with more development the whole experience will get better

There are many tools for Linux that do a lot of different stuff

I remember there were some that allowed running games straight without steam and maybe even creating shortcuts, but any of those is a headache to setup, I mean, to run a game without steam you need to do 15 manual steps, to create a shortcut 30 manual steps

Edit: maybe something has changed, I don’t use steam a lot, and I used those tools some years ago

P.s. the coolest tool for me is the app for extracting tye session with all those steam guard and etc

This is way not cheap 😅😅😅😅

One of the main issues of jmp chat is the price

There are some VoIP services that are $20 a year, and I wanted to compare if there’s anything interesting and cheap

How is your VOIP cheap exactly? 🤔🤔🤔

I have an interesting solution- LoRa

You will need some extra hardware, but it will be possible to messsage and share GPS if the board supports it, or even walkie talkie style voice messages on some firmwares

Simplex has its issues, fixes are on their way

I’m actually surprised to see that the battery and contact change are their biggest issues, for it would be many more other things

Pin is the suggested option, so I really doubt “most” of the people choose password

You never know what new to expect from old

The password is literally a pin

Also, most of the points of the message you replied to are abstract and don’t need any citation. Like do you want source for signal being centralized or for signal having ability to track you?

Or any smart band supported by Gadgetbridge

I love you for being so human

Just a random person on the internet asked you to explain something, and you did, you’re so cool

Thank you for the explanation, I will really remember and keep it for my whole life

❤️‍🩹

(No sarcasm, really, people these days are so mean and tell you to look everything up yourself, or just get angry because you ask or don’t know. Even though you could just copy and paste, this is a human interaction. Really happy to see somebody’s still alive)

Next step is to make it public to help other people and blend your data/traffic

I have some more questions, teacher

If I lived in a country for some years/time, how do I say that?

Also, if I worked as somebody?

And in general, difference between have been and had been?

Thank you

Many question marks, one answer- Gitea

Secure and private by design is the solution

Nobody can compromise you if they can’t

Me, my friends, and family are using it

Aaand… Everyone is hating it, tbh 🤣

The notifications are unreliable and at the same time it drains 20% of the battery

Waiting for fixes, also want to setup my own relay

Nowhere explicitly at least

I don’t consume much content, and when I see or hear an ad I get very frustrated and angry

Same for simplex 🫠

Yeah, this is a pain for me too actually

There’s the no-js version, but it doesn’t seem to be automatic, and also there’s a tor only version

You can add the one from the post, and it works really well, at least for me

Note: you add the link as a search engine, and it will give you a random instance every time

I couldn’t quite understand, can you elaborate? 😅

Works for me on mull like that, same url

It was at some point at least 🫠

I’m still on the no poop challenge

You should reduce yourself from Instagram

I’m retarded, I won’t ever use cash

Damn, edit, edit, I wanted to say banks 😆

Cash is op

How do I buy crypto? I know a lot of freelancers/digital nomads that get their salary in crypto, and I exchange it for them

I see too much useless reddit lately, please stop

But if they don’t know my name or anything at all? 🤭

Mostly correct, but at the same time Techlore in their “Graphene toxic community” videos explicitly multiple times said that it’s better to avoid projects that have bad/toxic communities or devs

Fair, fair

The past part sounds like a joke, love all the sources, but they all have a beef with GOS 😆

So bringing up GOS in those communities can spark some controversial discussions

In the meanwhile in GOS community it’s strictly prohibited to mention those projects, and every time any of the projects says “Graphene” GOS asks them to not to 😅

Why not just mullvad?

Their privacy approach is top notch

You can also look at supported calyxos/divestos phones

Keep in mind that divestos doesn’t support any gapps

My personal choice would be just Graphene, without any gapps

I was wondering about this for a while, is there an option to have a dna test like anonymously?
