Just hotspot, unlimited data. Also donating to a nonprofit


Yeah I assume they’re good on privacy, but having a WiFi network showing global position isn’t ideal. In case you’re not aware, all WiFi networks are globally traversed and public information. wigle.net for more info

Maybe have the network name something generic to your region and then a VoIP number and Signal/Briar/Session/whatever

Thanks for the info!


Yeah, only US probably due to the “education” radio frequency stipulation for their nonprofit to get the service at all. Which is why I want it, to study



Very cool! Yeah can you have multiple SSID channels? Can you set the DNS? Does it perform as you’d expect?


Anyone have an opinion on mobile hotspot by CalxyOS?
Anyone try out these hotspots? Any opinions? The cost is comparable or cheaper to buying directly from a phone provider. Are the hotspot devices decent? Customizable? The non profit itself seems interesting and privacy focused. Their OS seems well maintained and it "just works".

Lemmy does not remove exif data (unless the code has changed), you need to remove it yourself (also a good practice in general)



i’ll have to read their audit. thanks for the pointer



so what’s the benefit here? just to not broadcast to your credit card/crypto chain that you purchased it? i assume they still have logs with the ip address you’re connecting from


yeah totally, definitely not trying to say it’s a hopeless situation. there are many helpful tools to help with having some. i just have been following and involved with data collection and it’s a bit of a mess - the idea that anything can happen without at least the 13 eyes knowing seems almost impossible


i can’t tell if you’re trolling… in most countries we don’t have privacy, everything is attached to the cloud and data mined already - unless it’s offline with no input/output that could touch the internet, there is no privacy
