  • signal or SimpleX.

    I’m starting to move away from Matrix, primarily because its metadata is not encrypted. So you might have a message that’s encrypted, but the emoji reaction like a thumbs up is not encrypted, and the time it was sent and received is not encrypted, and who it was sent from and to is not encrypted.

    Not to mention that in Matrix, private key management for encryption in rooms and stuff like that is quite frankly a pain in the ass. Even I as a cryptocurrency user have trouble making sure that my keys are properly stored without fucking them up.

    I would not recommend my friends or family members use it for these reasons.







  • We had snow and ice for a couple of days this past week and it’s something I haven’t seen for several years since moving farther south. So it was quite frankly crazy to see what we got here.

    I am excited because in the next couple of days I should be getting my meshtastic node and it’s the first time that I will be playing with meshtastic and so I’m really looking forward to it.




  • I’ve bought two things from there so far and it’s worked out well. However, I did try to buy one other thing and it did not work out. So what I advise very seriously is use the escrow system if you are dealing with somebody with very low reputation or trades or find somebody who has high reputation and trades to do business with.

    I was being too trusting, one buying some hand soap. And a person with zero reputation decided to take my Monero and not send me the soap. And so I had to buy it from somebody with a better reputation. So just don’t make that mistake and you’ll be alright.







    1. I tell people to contact me on signal or SimpleX, and if they don’t, then I don’t talk to them.
    2. My banks app ran fine, but I wanted to use the website instead of having the app and the website did not support all functionality, so I switched banks entirely to an older style bank, not one of these new Neo fintech banks. Think Wells Fargo instead of chime.
    3. At least at the moment, you can still use m.uber.com.
    4. Use gps-coordinates.net, put in the address you wish to go to, and then copy the latitude and longitude given into OpenStreetmaps OSMAnd (f-droid).
    5. No, i dont
    6. The combination you mentioned is definitely the easiest. Otherwise, you have to look at lineage OS. And that doesn’t have as many security protections.
