Thread sorta gay.

The government has read your post. President AOC's LGBTG Department of Antidefamation agents would like you to stop by the local office for questioning after you get done at Starbucks. We know you arrived there 4 minutes ago per our local Flock camera. Thank you for your cooperation.

doesn't matter what you use (network -- cell or hamm) if you encrypt end to end. Just get rid of your IOS or Android OS and go with https://grapheneos.org/ .

Other than it's illegal to use encryption on ham frequencies. Fine to encrypt on lora or business band you license. Can't encrypt on GMRS or ham/amateur radio.

Does grapheneos work on ipone?
I hate tu. It's in my blood.

No, only Google Pixels at the moment

Nissan advertises that their cars can be used as batteries and the leaf has been around a long time

My dream off grid set up is to have a Nissan electric SUV as part of my off grid setup having a car that serves as a key building block seems like killing two birds with one stone

Ford has the same thing with the hybrid/electric F150s if you want a useful vehicle

Oh snap! I have a PowerBoost (and f***ing love it!). I now have a back up generator plan!

Homomorphic Secret Multi-party Matching (HSMM) can exist alongside widespread SSL/TLS encryption because it operates at the application layer rather than the network or transport layers. While SSL/TLS encrypts data in transit between a client and a server, HSMM allows multiple parties to compute a joint function (such as determining if their data sets intersect) over encrypted inputs without ever decrypting the raw data itself.
  • Encrypted Computation: HSMM utilizes cryptographic techniques that allow computations to be performed on ciphertexts. The server processes the encrypted data from different users and returns an encrypted result, ensuring that the underlying sensitive information (e.g., phone numbers, email addresses) remains confidential throughout the process.
  • Privacy-Preserving Matching: This enables services like private contact discovery or secure database joins where the service provider never sees the plaintext data, bypassing the need to decrypt the SSL/TLS tunnel to perform the matching logic.
  • Complementary Security: SSL/TLS protects the transport of data from eavesdropping, while HSMM protects the processing of data from the service provider itself, addressing different layers of the security stack.
So in other words, your Signal chat would be over an encrypted application layer and not break the rules.



So, it's like an Enigma machine from WWII? Unbreakable!


also, username checks out.


With friends like Signel, who needs enigmas?

careful.. i might send Signel chats encrypted to you illegally... what an enigma.

I am about to market a very inexpensive device to solve the problem of communication when things go amiss. It is a kit containing two tin cans and a string. Each set comes with the two tin cans and 100 feet of quality string. Every 100 feet you will need to postion a friend who can relay any message you have sent. In the event there is a problem (broken string, etc.) you can easily just shout to the recipient and he or she can retransmit on down the line.

I feel a bit overwhelmed at what my kits will enable the world to do, in order to stay in touch. I now know how Thomas Edison felt.

Will it contain a bad pun like I used?

Not one of my best efforts.

I apologize.

Thank you for volunteering to manufacture a hackable phone/mesh device. Let me know when operations are up and running so I can order a device.

You'll probably all also have to start manufacturing chips since you can't get those out of Taiwan, Hong Kong, or China per your logic.

You can buy lora/meshtastic devices on Amazon. Why order from aliexpress?

Look at the ttgo devices.

They are different. That one you posted is more Mesh only. The Wiphone is for VoIP. Had I known about the customs bit, I wouldn't have bought it. I didn't pay that much attention.

Also thanks a lot jerk! Now I want the one you posted too. (j/k about the jerk part - but that looks cool)
