You can pay mullvad in monero, cash, scratchcards. Mullvad has really no billing information if you don’t want to


When you are job hunting you don’t want privacy, you want your info (i.e. your cv) as widely distributed and known as possible. Create a dedicated gmail account.

The key is to keep your professional internet profile andnl your private digital life separated.


What’s the app name? I could install it and see what happens


I was about to switch bank because for a few days my current one (inadvertently) blocked it on grapheneOS. We sent them a few emails and they fixed in less than a week.


It depends on the client and the security implementations they support. For example IIRC no client support the last version of OMEMO (I think it was about OMEMO, I remember an article about it some time ago). Also are you sure that all the other people’s clients are on the same version and you’re not susceptible to a downgrade attack?

Unless you are ready to/want to control the whole environment (i.e. at least the clients and possibly the server), look into simplex.chat


Simplex.chat is the current best one AFAIK


Simplex.chat

No identifiers, pfp, FOSS, can route through tor.

Or host your own matrix or xmpp server.


There are lot of us being attacked…


Ah well, my bad, things have changed since last time I checked.

So better of what I thought, but still not great. Also the fact that it’s a Saudi Arabia company now (where they are not exactly famous for their human rights protections) does not bode well.


Nothing is safe short of self hosted matrix with full E2E encryption or similar and ain’t nobody doing that.

Well, I’m doing that. But I’m nobody, so I guess your point still stands 😅

But also, I don’t judge the chats mainly by their client, but the protocol. Telegram is not open and so can’t be audited properly, that’s my concern.
