I knew about this. I simply wanted something that already is accepted in most places, but also isn't PayPal but can still create virtual cards for payment. Even if they were to be leaked, no harm done because they're virtual and probably only had the exact amount of money it needed to complete a purchase (once). So it has 0 at the time of a leak or is probably removed.

 

I have never liked PayPal and I am still forced to use them. Did you knew the longest password you can use us 20 characters?

(I'm located within the European Union) Anyhow, I want something more private, but still quite convenient to use and have something in between my bank details and the site I'm shopping on. Years some companies make virtual temporary cards.

I remember I tried getting privacy.com back in the day but couldn't as it was for Americans and Canadians at the time.

Suggestions? :P

No, multiple different countries at random.

When seeding a file. Let's say a movie, and all I see are a lot of connections where others try to download that movie. However, they remain at 0% and never download anything.

Almost feels like its something watching, logging connections to everyone connected to that torrent. Just a theory.. No idea. (Privacy conscious)

Maybe someone can shed some light?

Any clever "google Dork" ways in finding these "flock" devices through eg Shodan?

A great game. Played it through till the end and we had great laughter.

Only downside is that the developers don't plan on further developing the game.

Shame cause it has great potential and is unique. Wrote a bunch of things that I thought it lacked and maybe things that should be added to improve the game experience. How it looks now, they won't be continuing to develop the game as its 'done'. Only game breaking bugs are fixed ^^

I tend to recommend Brave for the ones who aren't technically savvy. For that, its good.

For me who is really into privacy, I've always felt uncomfortable with brave or any chrome based browser. So I go with TOR and LibreWolf

I have no plan in going to Nepal. However, let's say I get signal in one country where its allowed, and then I travel to Nepal where its banned. What would be my struggles? I can still use signal, right? Its just that I won't be able to download it from Nepal via google play store (which I'm not using anyway). Signal can still give away the APK file but would assume Nepal censors their website at the end of the day. Could be bypassed via VPN though, if its still legal in the country of course (probably not).

That's awesome. If I have the choice to be careful, why not take that option? Thank you! <3

 

I use GrapheneOS and love my privacy. However, I am not as knowledge in regards to simcards.

My family needed to get a new simcard while abroad and I was hesitant to get a new simcard and preferred to 'hitchhike' on a family members internet thearing so he could get a simcard instead of me.

It left me with the choice to:

  • Get a Sim card
  • Get an e-sim
  • Let a family member get a simcard and hitchhike from their internet. (Internet hotspot thearing)

My question: Was my worry in vain and I could actually get an e-sim/Sim or did I do it correctly, making someone else get a Sim and share the internet to me? :P

What I'm worried of, is that I'm currently outside EU and I don't want any weird hacking attempts towards me from the government. There are a lot of protests here, quite violent ones at times too, and I am aware that governments usually use stingrays or equivalent devices to identify or stalk people of interest.

I don't see how we can stop it. If they don't succeed this year, they will try the next, and if not next, they will try the year after until it works. How do we stop this? We can't. Its like cancer. You can only slow the process down by being against them. Thats it :/ we all will be surveiled and there is nothing to stop it.

All we do as privacy advocates is to jump around. If one thing becomes illegal, we jump over to something else that provides privacy once again.

We are slowly becoming cashless, but new tech arrived and we started with crypto like monero. Once crypto is banned, we find different methods in staying anonymous or private :)

 

What are the best co-op games you enjoy? Anything from the modern games, to the old games.

For me, I'm aiming for PC games, or a game that can be easily emulated like PS2 games or GameBoy Advance.

Main focus, is that you are supposed to play 2 players or more (and are actually fun to play) with little to no internet. (Trying to prepare in advance)

 
 

What is a good comeback or argument towards people who say "But I have nothing to hide" when you try to information them that privacy is important?
