Why don’t you get one of the anonymous esims from kycnot.me ?

@oldfart@lemm.ee

It’s likely an alternative to blik or internal revolut/n26/cashapp transfers. And in that regard it’s an improvement because of its openness. But privacy is not one of the reasons to use it.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

The expiration date on the money and p2p fund transfers requiring an intermediary and an ID.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Now go read the FAQ and reconsider posting that in a Privacy community.

When was the last time you tried to access a Google account from another device in a nee location? They won’t let you in, you’ll be in a maze of fake “wrong password” errors, recovery emails that never arrive because they have nevet been sent and whatever they came up with this year.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

I like that when you come across one of the many Google dark patterns and complain about it, a fanboy always shows up out of nowhere to tell you it’s impossible and you did something wrong.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Thanks!

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Any idea where to find one of these?

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Yewtube is like an institution, running since forever. Afair it’s the same person which runs xcancel.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Hauk is the best, rock stable, ephemeral or permanent links, group shares, really has it all

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Gift and prepaid cards are an option too.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

If you happen to be on an IP address Google likes.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

There always have been some sites blocking VPN traffic but it became widespread last 2-3 years.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Oh there is a video. I instinctively scroll past these because they’re usually ads/spam. Alright, the video shows you need to copy some more magic strings, thanks.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Created a profile. Created a share link. Sent to a friend. Friend clicked the link.

What I expected: a chat will open What happened: we both were seeing the “connect peer” screen and nothing happened.

I’ve read the documentation that pops up and it doesn’t really describe what to do, just says that it uses webrtc and is nice and private.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Is it an Unihertz in your pocket or are you just excited to see me?

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Same boat as you, I like how Unihertz phones look, but there are only some half-working lineageos images for them.

But it looks like people are working on it https://xdaforums.com/tags/unihertz/

The next step is Anydesk and losing his life’s savings

I got a Sharp Android smart tv last year when my 2006 Samsung died and it works great without internet access. Cheapest one there was.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

There are so many cameras on the market, just don’t connect them to the internet. If you have a budget, buy an NVR, otherwise install Motion or Frigate on a PC to store footage.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Yeah until you try to find a cab in a non familiar city while being offline.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Blame computer scientists from the old days for inventing simplex/duplex for one way / two way communication

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Telegram just sits in the background and works, I don’t understand OP’s problem. The only downside compared to gplay version is that there’s a persistent notification.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

I don’t know about electric but the regular ones are available in basic versions without internet and “luxury” ones with all that crap

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Dacia doesn’t have that crap. They only have the mandatory SOS system.

BTW, if someone has a way to rip that system out, please share

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Registered for sale. You get an email address as part of the deal. These accounts are mostly sold for spammers and upvote farming, but I’m using them to access big tech when I need to use it.

If you need an account there, buy an already verified one, they go for less than a dollar

I live in a shithole and had to add most POIs myself, but in tourist areas I’ve been to, the map quality is so good here. Even beach towns where 200-300 people live off season.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Like you noticed, this is a privacy community, so the percentage is much higher here. And there is value in offline maps even if we put privacy aside.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

I didn’t know the developers are Russian, just like OsmAnd.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

russian torrents

As a non-Russian I use Yandex for torrents because there’s nothing better among general use search engines. Also try btdigg if you haven’t.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Encryption is easy, key exchange is not

@oldfart@lemm.ee

https://looking-glass.io nice!

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Well, DRM is not the problem here, I don’t trust the games too. DRM or not, they can do what they want with my data.

I’m not saying DRM is good but it’s not in the scope of this post.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Which hypervisor? I tried booting a physical install this year with VirtualBox and two decades ago with VMWare Player and both times ended up with damaged bootloader that was unable to boot from bare metal

@oldfart@lemm.ee

I wrote something myself because I wanted PGP support, but saw some apps on Google Play (I’ve been still using it back then). I can’t recommend anything, sorry.

For calls - yeah, tough stuff. I’e been looking to do the same thing you did, and found there are GSM USB dongles (modems) that can work with Asterisk to forward calls, so you’d use a raspberry pi instead of a smartphone. But I never implemented it, people gradually stopped calling me and there was just no motivation.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

For texts with parcels etc I have an old phone in a drawer which forwards texts to my email. Doesn’t leak anything because it does not move.

@oldfart@lemm.ee

Are you aware that using the same device with different SIMs is not helping your anonymity because IMEI is the same?

Power to you for not having GSM enabled on your phone though
