Buy a cheap prepaid sim?

I use linux mint 22

i saw online read only phone once, or VOIP swap number possibility. but maybe we can also share fake account. Would need some for a cloud GPU PAAS project using google collab as a showcase

Pretty sure you don't need a number when signing up on a chromebook, never tried it myself but heard of people buying cheap ones just to create gmails.

I forget what it is called, but AMD has their own version as well.

The management engine cannot be completely disabled in intel chips that ship with it because some of the things it handles are required for the chip to actually work. Really, you are better served by getting a chip without a management engine. Most AMD chips have their own version of the intel management engine, so they aren't safe. ARM boards are usually a little safer but not all. All of the Apple chips have a technology very similar to management engine built in. I don't know about the RISC-V boards but they are borderline trash so far anyway so they aren't a great escape route either.

Personally, I've been using older models allowing at least majority neutering of Intel management engine.

coreboot Thinkpads come to mind.

My personal machines are not the "full ME removal", but vast majority partitions, leaving just what is needed to bring up hardware.

Outside this, there are more "modern" options out there from companies, albeit not removed in same way (disabled under HAP bit and others). Some prefer Arm.

But everyone has a different use cases. I want to be able to use Qubes as an option at times, and some older models are not capable of this. T430 (i5-3320M and greater CPU) and later mostly have the right virtualization options for it.

I see UEFI / BIOS being #1 concern along with some network cards that work along with it. Some for AMT.

It is a shame there aren't more options out there.

I have heard about Intel putting backdoors in their chips. Is there a good alternative? The puri.sm librum computers theoretically wouldn't be safe, since I believe that they use intel chips.

Better time than ever for me to finally ditch my iPhone for a Librem 5, I guess.

I hope my guide helps you.

I Agree with you.

Or maybe they're the ones who have something to hide, lol.

That they do!

That would be a violation of "illegal search and seizure." Nowadays, they assume guilty until proven innocent.

Criminalize privacy. Criminalize arm-bearing. Criminalize free speech. If these people were God, they would have no need to do so to maintain control, but the fact that they try shows how vulnerable they truly are.

If I ever need a new car for whatever reason I am going to rip all that shit out.

Sounds like a good idea, but it cannot be done effectively without tracking people A LOT.

You have your entire name on your github, afterwards clicking on your github account lets me go to your LinkedIn... It's surprising how much you can find about someone just by searching their name or LinkedIn link.

Your code uses HTTP GET for its messaging, instead of post. I assume it is to make it easier for people who are listening to copy packages and just spam them. The software does not even have a simple checksum or any way to even remotely attempt to see if it is tampered. Why not have a P2P or Swarm like software. I am not trusting you with my privacy Umut.

This is at best a hobby project that you should keep to yourself. Horrible opsec btw.

open up borders crime goes up people getting desperate Offer totalarian surveillance Offer accepted and even demanded fat lazy cat begins to smile

Relatable Noah Yuval Harari quote:

“and covid is critical because this is what convinces people to accept to legitimize total biometric surveillance. If we want to stop this epidemic we need not just to monitor people we, need to monitor what's happening under the skin.” Yuval Noah Harari

"Total."

Tor staff wrote some neat blog posts explaining the attack:

• http://blog.torproject.i2p/tor-is-still-safe/
• http://blog.torproject.i2p/announcing-vanguards-add-onion-services/

Lesson learned: don't trust your life to anything that anonymizes or claims to anonymize you. Someone may always be watching.

This is a rather erroneous notion to think that surveillance will improve behavior. During the covid lockdowns in 2020, New York required citizens to send them pictures of people who were violating quarantine. Needless to say, it wasn't very effective.

2GB max. Any feedback?

Your i2p skills look great. I would have added Postman links to the book. The actual content is recycled crap: XMPP, Retroshare for i2p would have made better sense.
In a lot of cases professionals from Vulkan use pay phones and the Spok network (subscription and equipment). I did have more complicated equipment. Live Long and Prosper!
