Pretty sure their security concerns aren't nebulous. They only lost 27 million people. Not a big deal to you, maybe. But they will never forget and allow that to happen again. So yes, they are entitled to protecting themselves from tha

I have felt the same way at times. Just not waking up, so nobody can say that I quit. My advice is to focus on healing your self with therapy sessions. Assuming this might sound like bad advice to someone who is broke try to figure out whic

I highly recommend Doomberg's substack for energy related analysis. His article "Angels on a Pin" explains how storing nuclear waste is not as scary as people make it out to be. Direct link here: https://doomberg.s

Yes there's a lot of good content now with guidance on setting up one of these pf or opnsense routers. Really cool stuff. And use any old router you have in AP mode and you're set!

Some could argue that your life savings is also at risk in a bank in high inflationary countries like Turkey or Lebanon. I think bitcoin's main argument in its favor is that its supply is not controlled by bankers. All the risks associ

Why doesn't anyone ever consider XMPP using one of the many clients like gajim, conversations, etc.? It's got all of the encryption features anyone would want but has zero mentions as a secure messaging option.

Why not just use simplelogin? Buy your own email domain and you can create random emails on the fly. Like if you're prompted to input your email you can use the name of the prompter companyxyz@yourdomain.com and it'll forward it t

Does anyone else here use Google voice for sms 2fa? You get another number and you should be safe from sim swap attacks.
