Very good point, I actually had thought of this but dismissed it as overly paranoid
Thanks
seem to be a good marketplace
Thanks, hadn't ever heard of them.
Looks like they only accept card and paypal (KYC) though, right?
Exactly what I needed to know, thank you very much.
Swappa looks like it's just card or paypal, or am I missing something?
I suppose I could use something like privacy.com but for something this sensitive I feel like cash or monero are the only responsible options
Open to being wrong
Thank you for your time
Considerations for buying Used Pixel Phone?
Hi all,
Sorry for the foolish question but I have to make a quick decision here and trust you to point me in the right direction.
I am about to buy a google pixel phone second hand with cash. (for graphene, not gonna use a sim)
1: What things do I need to be on the lookout for? How can I quickly verify it is unlocked/rootable?
2: Any recommendations on where to buy? I've never used stuff like FB market, craigslist, etc. but I think those places would be my best bet. Please tell me if you have a better idea.
Thanks in advance and hope you have a good rest of your day
EDIT: Graphene in hand! Good to be back on custom roms, rocked cyanogenmod for a long time
Thanks guys
Got it, thank you for taking the time to explain.
Isn’t there some ISP in the US that is kinda trustworthy?
Uhh I do not think so. But I could be wrong.
I see.
Just to make sure I understand, how does the situation change if the DNS resolver is set at the browser or OS level (DNS over HTTPS)
Thank you for your response.
Thank you for taking the time to type this, I'm thrilled by your response.
You've given me a lot to think about and look into, thank you.
Thanks for this!
No, but how am I supposed to convince someone I care about who might not even care that much about privacy/security to change their working internet setup when I don't even fully understand the situation and can't explain it to them?
I agree with your sentiment but I think you may have misunderstood me.
Seems like a fair solution, thank you for the reply.
Is the ISP router a bottleneck concern for you or do you have a recent/decent model?
Makes a lot of sense, thank you for explaining your setup
Privacy/Surveillance Implications of using ISP issued Router?
cross-posted from: https://links.hackliberty.org/post/2005038
I know this is an outrageously bad idea, I don't need convincing. I am just looking for some more information and discussion on what exactly the exposure and surveillance risk is.
I'm asking both for my own education (I am still very green to networking), and to better explain to people in my life if and why they should care.
-
Is it true that traffic can be tracked and logged by ISP through DNS lookups, as these routers are preconfigured to use their internal dns service?
-
If this is changed (like base.dns.mullvad.net), how much does this actually mitigate the risk here?
-
What about when a VPN (mullvad) is also being used at all times? Would it then be "overly paranoid" to fear this untrusted box all the traffic goes through?
I personally take a conservative approach to things like this and assume it's an unacceptable risk, but I don't really understand what the truth is.
Thank you in advance for your time and thoughts.
EDIT: I'm asking about US and US adjacent areas

Simplex is really cool but I think their desktop app is pretty ugly (and sometimes buggy)
I set up the CLI version the other day and have been having a lot of fun with that but I have to convince other people to actually use it haha
I don't understand how I'm supposed to get notifications though, I miss messages because my eyes are on another screen. Not sure if sound alerts are even possible but I need to do more research.
Will get a graphene boi soon and try making that the main device with remote cli control and see if that improves the experience
We tried session before this and it's not functional or trustworthy enough to use but I wish I could slap it's chat UI/notification alerts onto simplex
I did see they released a flatpak literally a couple hours after it became available. Might do some good for onboarding.
Do any of you actively cover your face at all times in public? This seems like a threat that's only going to skyrocket in danger
I didn't do anything except ask for it, sorry didn't mean to suggest otherwise.

Hey, one step at a time.
There are thousands of really cool hidden service sites with 0 users, I don't think lemmy is at a point where splintering would be wise.
If such an instance existed I would be a big fan though.
Looks like the right person saw my post

Hey update in case you missed it, my instance saw my post and made a .onion!

Lemmy over Tor Hidden Service (.onion)?
Hello all,
Just wondering if there are any projects involving lemmy and .onion
I searched and didn’t see anything but I figured I’d ask
If not is there a reason this isn’t possible? Or has nobody cared to do it yet?
When I have to visit r****t I use a libreddit hidden service, and there are quite a few to choose from. Am I correct to think a similar mirror should be about as easy to implement for Lemmy?
an onion only instance where it never touches the clearnet would be really cool too but it would probably be a ghost town (sadly).
Love to hear your thoughts
Thanks
