I'm not trying to make you guys wrap yourself in tinfoil— almost nobody needs to be as paranoid as I am, and even I am tremendously lazy about opsec these days. The key is *awareness*: to simply be cognizant of what kind of records you're generating as you go about your life, so you can make informed, reasoned judgments about how much of it you can leave hanging out, and what parts of it you'd rather pay an effort-tax to shield from appearing in somebody's (or everybody's) database.

I walked the floor at ISC West (international security conference) last year for shits and gigs. It was fucking terrifying…
The level of sophistication in surveillance software/hardware is so far beyond what people think it’s insane… and as more and more datasets get integrated together, it only gets worse…
And this was just the stuff they publicly showcase to any Jabroni like me who walks the floor…
Absofuckinlutely! It's all about threat models. AFAIK I haven't pissed of my government, that much? Apart from the trips to Russia!!!
I've come to appreciate your sacrifices and am glad you're jurisdictionally an arms length to be a bit lazy

Reynolds’s Wrap dislikes this note 👎
“Thank you” feels entirely insufficient. Nevertheless… thank you 🙏
Yea I can buy Reynolds tinfoil or Deadpool guy's tinfoil but what will keep safe? Wrap my phone in tinfoil? I'm so tracked they will follow me to and from my home and work to the store for the machine or they'll harass and stalk the driver who delivered the package l, etc
I hear ya it's just non stop with them. It's enough level. And every time I attend these meetings I'm always surrounded by cops. And this time it's worse.
Using grapheneOS WiFi only and somehow disable the radio modem would be best.
I really only need to use my phone as a "computer" at home over VPN and tor for amethyst and Bitcoin Lightning.
Hate the experience on desktop for both due to various reasons.
Pixel 8 pro has an amazing camera for sunsets, landscapes, and nature etc. Don't need any connection for that photography either till ireturn home.
I am very happy with my pixel and graphene
Thanks for the advice and for everything you do for the world.
Fuck Zuck
Everyone just needs to find something they love that is useful to society and stop playing superheroes.
Wow so far the FBI is still pissed about my status in America and still accusing me of requiring an immigration visa to live in America. Even tho I'm an American born citizens.
I’m choosing to be on NOSTR as my real identity. It is an informed choice. Privacy is a human right as much as air and water, if I choose to be private for some of my life, that is my freedom.
Others choose their own privacy. That is their freedom.
Attempting to stop that freedom should be a crime in all civilised nations.
Thank you for saying this part, I find it to be the most important aspect of privacy.
Hey I wonder if we should have a NOSTR phone off day or two at random. This would be in the spirit of messing with the eve droppers. Thoughts?
I'm thinking it would be great to see their faces when their screens go blank.
And you can get someone else to do it for you, and the "price" for that should be something more expensive than money. Sometimes it's harder to hide people behind "7 proxies" than it is to hide network traffic behind "7 proxies". But it's not impossible.

Don't put a sim inside the phone.. for one. Secondly, don't run a googled device. Make sure it's something like GrapheneOS and always in airplane mode so your cellular radio is off at all times. You can use airplane mode and still use wifi or Bluetooth. But make sure you're only connecting then with a VPN.
You didn’t mention cell tower timing advance and SS7
Completely agree.
Thanks for your work and service for the free world!
It will be appreciated later or sooner.
this is the single biggest threat to my kids generation. everything is a quick click, join, share, accept. They have ZERO clue or worry about what type of footprint or data they leave or how it can be used against them. They are all poisoned for ease of use. Its honestly one of the main reasons I hate Apple products.... dumbs tyem down to the most simple uses and none of them can spare the time to even include cross use platforms. the iPhone users refuse to take any extra steps to include via other apps other kids in IChats or video calls if not just the simple click of FaceTime. its destroying the kids in the U.S.
Walked the same trade floor pre-COVID and it was disturbing back then.
