Last Notes npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com Discord is rolling out end-to-end encryption, Do you trust it? Before you rush to say no, It's designed and audited by the same auditors that SimpleX uses (Trail of Bits) So do you trust Trail of Bits to say SimpleX is secure, but not design Discord's encryption? You know I actually wrote Trail of Bits to ask on pricing to audit my own app (which isn't a messenger btw). They use Gmail, so I used PGP. The guy at Trail of Bits apologized that he didn't have his PGP key anymore, since he never gets encrypted emails. Aren't you guys supposed to be receiving code to audit or emergency 0-day flaws? That's going naked over Gmail? So he directed me to a web browser app that had third party Google JavaScript and claimed it was end-to-end encrypted. This might be true, but he has no idea what that JavaScript was doing. So without even looking at the details of Discord's new thing, I can tell you they don't give a rat's ass about privacy. All this is doing is trying to remove legal liability in a post Telegram-legal world. But we can remove legal liability for them, by not using Discord.

Conservative journalist James O Keefe is leaking a video (against the will) of Dakota Leazer, a Google-ad sales employee, discussing how the company is purposefully promoting Kamala Harris, by misleading end-users into thinking her ads are from PBS or other "more neutral" third parties. But then when the user actually clicks the ad, it gets redirected to ads or propaganda directly controlled by Kamala Harris. The Google employee appears to be unaware he's being filmed, and in my opinion it looks like he's on a fake/malicious dinner date, with the camera in the woman's purse. It appears this female journalist got him to spill out quite a bit. Now his entire social media presence has been wiped. Decide for yourself: Nitter: https://xcancel.com/JamesOKeefeIII/status/1833267899840311623 or Native Twitter: https://x.com/JamesOKeefeIII/status/1833267899840311623 npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com sounds great, load it up with onion relays and less cloudflare clearweb ones npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com Second Trump assassination attempt https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/15/us/politics/trump-shooting-golf-course.html https://www.devdiscourse.com/article/politics/3087944-trumps-second-near-assassination-raises-security-concerns https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/fbi-investigating-second-apparent-attempted-assassination-of-trump-suspect-in-custody/ar-AA1qCAI4 What you think now? npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com MetaGer quits! Announcement: New Search Engine! Google is a US military contractor, and so searching foreign policy is a conflict of interest. Microsoft (and therefore Duckduckbing) is also heavily involved with the Pentagon, while Bill Gates pushes for digital IDs. As the world moves to towards censorship and dystopia, As AI dribble fills search results, As MetaGer throws in the towel, Simplified Privacy steps up. I'm grinding. We've dusted off YaCy, a decade old, neglected, open source, search engine network, that relies upon DHT torrent sharing of results, in a permissionless decentralized network. I'm now running 4 global instances of this, with over 7 million pages indexed. Liberty flows through my veins, with a key focus on oppressed political news, technology, and finance: Moldova: https://search.simplifiedprivacy.is Amsterdam: https://search.simplifiedprivacy.com Ohio, USA: (Whole DHT network, for now) https://ohio.simplifiedprivacy.is Romania: (Whole DHT network) https://yacy.rebelnet.me We let these Big Tech search engines manipulate public opinion and act as a gatekeeper to all human knowledge. Well it's time to bust down those gates. In this easy to comprehend article, I'll break down how this network works, and how it can benefit you, by exposing you to smaller oppressed bloggers with insightful and specialized expertise, while filtering out AI garbage and authoritarian propaganda: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/how-yacy-works/search.html npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com Yes, DM us with your country.

Airplane mode does NOT hide your location. Google and Apple continue to collect it, by seeing what WiFi endpoints are near you, and then figuring out where you are through a process known as "WiFi Triangulation". [1] Further, phones have two "brains", and the part that connects to the cell towers does NOT have to obey Airplane mode. This is called the "baseband modem", and airplane mode is an API request from the main motherboard to this modem, ASKING if it would PLEASE consider killing service. And even worse, the baseband doesn't even need a SIM card. You can call 911 emergency without service, without wifi, just standing outside. Calyx Institute devs LIE about this on Matrix, but dial it and hear your local operator tell you the truth. In fact, you don't even need to be the government to abuse this. Ralf-Philipp Weinmann of the University of Luxembourg demonstrated with just around $1500 in equipment, ANY RANDOM civilian hacker, who doesn't even work for the telecom, can FAKE being the cellphone tower near you. Source: https://comsecuris.com/papers/woot12-final24.pdf This is all why it's so critical to use GrapheneOS which helps against these types of attacks, and to buy your phone anonymously in cryptocurrency, because if you don't, it's essentially like a dog collar. At their will, they can see where you are, who you're standing near (if they have a phone too), and even turn the mics on to record. My abusive competitors in the degoogled phone industry all charge way above Google's official store, and Google's search gives them traffic to make it harder to switch. For example on the model 8: AbovePhone.com Pixel 8: $999 DigitalPrivacy.shop Pixel 8: $729 Google Official Store Pixel 8: $599 While as I sell them BELOW the official store: Simplified Privacy Pixel 8: $499 PLUS you get a consult on its use, Why? Because I am on a mission. I need to get these phones, and the privacy that goes with it, in the hands of as many people as possible. And if Google search wants to oppress and censor our website, so be it. You and you alone deserve your data: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/they-see-everything/index.html & [1] WiFi Triangulation: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/googles-surveillance-the-shocking-truth/index.html npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com alright. sharp new avatar npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com !! Chrome introduces Digital ID !! Warning: Google attempts a huge power grab Chrome devs rolled out a new digital ID feature, that they are touting on their blog. This corrupt power grab is an attempt to legitimatize Google being the overseer of all identification through their browser and mobile platform. They are rolling it out for mobile first via Chrome. This power grab is broken down into: a) Presenting their rotten technical solutions b) Pushing on legislators and partners to force adoption https://developer.chrome.com/static/blog/digital-credentials-api-origin-trial/dc-diagram_856.jpg Their propaganda even admits to collecting information completely UNRELATED to a web browser, such as driving a car. Quote: “Age verification: Request age to verify a person's age before serving age-restricted content or purchasing age-restricted items. Identity verification: Request name and address to verify a person's identity for legal compliance or fraud-prevention. Driving privileges check: Verify a person's eligibility to drive (for example, when renting a car).” Since when does Chrome browser need to check if I can drive?! The web browser is a horrible place to store unrelated data from a security perspective. I urge everyone to remain vigilant and call this out for what it is, they are doing a coup. It’s the deliberate attempt to gain power in society, through unnecessary changes and manipulative practices. Boycott Chrome browser if you’re not already, and tell your friends and family to do so as well.

Ok here's the situation, First, a video from Chainalysis leaked of them running malicious nodes to try to identify users/transactions Then, the community noticed a particular domain in the video, and when asking the owner, he said he stopped paying the VPS used in the video long ago. MoneroBull explained to me, that they are using a DNS hijacking technique where: a) The domain owner points their domain to a VPS b) The domain owner stops paying the VPS and leaves. c) Chainanalysis rents that VPS and controls the domain, because the zone record isn't reflecting the change. d) Then popular wallets have these nodes in their lists, and that's how Chainalysis gets "trusted" nodes. So what are the lessons learned? Well, for one you can run your own node. And second, upgrades to Monero are coming, probably now sooner than later. Including full membership proofs, where it includes the entire chain as possible decoys. This will hopefully be a huge step for everyone. But in my subjective view, until both Nostr and Monero stop the reliance on government domains, we're gonna have issues.

When in fact, all the evidence points to the opposite. They are losing money and nearly all commercial application have failed. -OpenAI, leader in LLMs loses $5 billion a year, and there is no path to profitability. "The losses only expand with the more customers the company signs up and the better their model gets." -Air Canada tried to use AI for customer service, but it made so many mistakes, that it sent waves through the industry. It gave out discounted airfare causing the company to bleed out and the court ruled against them. -Google’s new AI summary at the top of the search page takes roughly 10 times more energy to produce than the search itself and has near zero end-user utility according to numerous reliable polls. -Many of the AI demos have been proven to be fake by whistleblowers, from OpenAI to Google. -AI has ruined search engine results with worthless dribble Don't make the mistake that others are by investing in this. Let's dive into this amazing article on the rampant corruption of money-losing AI, https://mises.org/mises-wire/artificial-intelligence-next-easy-money-bust npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com 3 Layers of Freedom Layer 1: User of an External Service This is the worst one, you're just using someone else's service. You obey and they are god. This includes all Big Tech, gmail, proton, telegram, twitter, whatsapp, ect. Unfortunately, this is the only thing the vast majority of people ever experience. Layer 2: Federation / Self-hosting Any service that can cross-communicate to servers that different people control. Identity is usually based on the domain of the server you're using. You don't have to self-host here, but how much freedom you get depends on your relationship with the hoster. Examples of this are Email, XMPP, Matrix, Mastodon, and Lemmy. Layer 3: Transcend Locations This is any service where user identity, data, and content delivery are separated from physical locations, to provide censorship and self-ownership that transcends traditional internet structures. Examples include Nostr (micro-blog), Arweave (websites), Session (delivery), Bastyon (video delivery), Farcaster (professional networking), Lens (art), Yacy (search), and almost all cryptocurrencies. It would also include legal systems based on PGP. Layer 3 is controversial. You're not only asking people to learn new technology, but then place value in this completely new system. For example, to accept that Bitcoin or Monero have financial value for trade. Or to learn how Arweave domains and hashs work to view content. This has a huge opportunity for pessimists to try to knock it. Often pessimists will dispute the entire premise of layer 3, by clinging to value systems in layers 1 or 2. Or they may be heavily invested in one particular solution, and thus try to haze alternatives. Careful, as there is a lot of misrepresentation to gain market share as they develop. Images on Nostr are layer 1 regular websites. Channels on Farcaster are a censorable layer 1 service. SimpleX's identity links are really layer 2 masquerading as a layer 3. (But I acknowledge Session's flaws) Ok here's my point: I recommend people: avoid layer 1 whenever possible. Have a layer 2, a little digital home: self-host email, a website, and your messenger communications. But stay open to all different kinds of layer 3s, this is the end goal. Layer 3 is not only a technology battle, but a cultural one. npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com yea i agree, that's why i'm here. but why don't the less retarded instances band together? npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com the steamdeck has made linux the most popular of all time for games npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com can you give an example of what can't be matched? npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com Glad to hear you are looking to learn. Distro Tube and Chris Titus on youtube (via invidious) or odysee (via librarian) are great ways. farside.link has the front-end links Also our website has a lot of info on the Linux section: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/categories/linux.html npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com Be honest, you're using Big Tech because: a) You think it's hard to switch b) You think there won't be the software you need on Linux c) You think nobody is using encrypted messengers d) You say privacy is a nice idea, but I don't really need it e) You tell yourself you'll learn later, which turns to never. But every one of the statements is a lie. It's NOT hard to switch, Linux is easy man, my mom uses it, and she's older than computers existing. Linux Mint looks just like Windows. System76 PopOS can be made to look just like Mac iOS. The same way Apple has an "Apple store" for software, Linux also has an app store! And you can even use it in a graphical box. You don't need the command line. The software you need IS on Linux. Linux has software for web browsing, chat, and editing text (even microsoft word files can be opened). Adobe Photoshop is actually HARDER to use than open source GIMP, and it does the same things. Kdenlive is FASTER to render videos than Adobe Premiere of EQUAL OR BETTER QUALITY. You don't have to go cold turkey, if you want to still chat with your friends on Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, that stuff all works on Linux and Degoogled phones. But you'll be surprised at who you will meet on freedom apps.. You are scared away because you think there's no help, no support group. But there's more of a Linux community than anywhere else, because the people genuinely care. Our SimpleX room has 600 people, and you will get replies. We also host an active Linux group on Session. There's the Linux.org forums. There's dozens of companies with paid support including mine. You tell yourself you'll learn under better circumstances later, but eventually you have to realize that nobody is coming to save you. The political situation is only getting worse. The data collection and the overreach from big tech is only further chipping away at your freedoms every day. You think you have Bitcoin, but without privacy you don't even own those private keys. You think you have a Nostr account, but you need open source operating system for that to have meaning. Otherwise, it's just the same as a big tech platform because Google, Microsoft, and Apple see your private key, your conversations, and the sum of every thought in your brain. They own your life. But it doesn't have to be this way. I'm telling you that you have way more power than you realize. You're telling yourself you're not good with tech, but you're smart enough to read my words on Nostr now. That's better than like 95% of people out there. You know to an Amish farmer, you're pretty slick.. It's all about what you're used to. Every one of the those starting statements is a lie. And the only obstacle is in your mind. Love you bro, stay safe. npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com You’re correct cash is popular. However, cash has local theft risk and can’t be used online. Ecash is custodial is it not? That’s the opposite of privacy, a third party can see all. Coffees could be private with bitcoin lightning layer 2, but how many people are going to fork over $500+ to setup a self-custody node? That's my point npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com In this case, they were ruling out Monero spend outputs as not the real decoys. However, this Monero only information doesn’t have any value, until it exits Monero into something tangible. This happened to the darknet market guy they traced when he switched to Bitcoin, and the swap website had these poison outputs. Bitcoin is ok. I'm just saying the "Bitcoin only" hazing narrative npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com Leaked Chainalysis Monero Tracing There's a video that's being so weakly censored that it might be on purpose, of an internal meeting of Chainalysis presenting to law enforcement of how they trace Monero. I'm NOT going to link to the video because it's got some IP addresses of the malicious nodes that Chainalysis runs, which will bring unwanted pressure on our clearweb Linux tech support website. The goal of our organization is NOT to get you to run a darknet market, it's to get fundamental privacy rights with technology. But I must say this, the way Chainalysis was effective in catching darknet market guys, was when they swapped Monero to Bitcoin. And so the people who push for Bitcoin only, are really pushing for a world where you need a ph.D in computer science to be private. Now you're saying "oh but I'm not running a darknet market, so why do I need that level of privacy?" But if Bitcoin goes to the moon like you say it will, there will be tax implications of this. Everytime you buy a coffee, there's capital gains tax up or down. This will crush the use of it in the real world as money, unless it's private enough that it can't be enforced. If Bitcoin becomes as popular as you say it will, there will be a violent response from the state to crush it. And so I'm telling you if you don't care about privacy for people with low technical skills, then Bitcoin is really just an ETF. npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com the article starts off by talking about using drones to bomb russia. you're going to reply that it's after the invasion, but they don't say. Then there's quotes of high ranking military guys warning Putin that they are doing offensive attacks. So that in and of itself is enough. Check the Zerohedge article, it's got the exact quotes with the points. npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com All the time people write me and say: "Hello! I want to buy your email, phones, or Linux support but I don't want to KYC to get crypto" I reply, "But once you pull Monero or even Bitcoin Lightning off the exchange, it's not tied to you anymore. And there's no capital gains tax if you spent it at the same price." Then I suggest Haveno, and they don't feel comfortable doing that. And in the end, they end up doing nothing. How does it make sense that you don't want to KYC just to get crypto, so you keep using KYC banks and cards? Getting crypto is part of the experience for you to become private. To say you want "privacy without crypto" is like saying you want to lose weight, but you're too lazy to walk up the entrance stairs of the gym. "Hello! I want exercise without strenuous stairs" I try to make it as easy as possible for you. Here's my article on where to buy crypto, with different options for different countries including credit cards, peer-to-peer, and exchanges: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/crypto/index.html npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com Of course I think of the epic last line after I post it, If Hayek were alive today, he'd say "Not your keys, it's a shitcoin" #nevent1q…4mz8 npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com The issue with fiat money is the money itself is debt. Debt exists in time. So yes you’re correct you borrow against time, but the bond yield curve is really a measurement of how much money exists now vs the future. When the liabilities are now, and the assets are in the future, it’s a bust. It’s not “impossible to avoid”, the answer is the money supply has to be an asset... and not debt npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com Before Bitcoin was officially released, Friedrich Hayek warned of the dangers of custodial bitcoin wallets In his book, he laid out the boom-bust credit cycle, which happens when banks create money through lending. For example you deposit $1, but they lend it out. Now you think you have $1, and so does that other guy. Some hate altcoins, because they are just venture capitalists printing money out of bullshit. But what people should be more aware of, is that 90% of the US money supply comes from private banks doing fractional reserve lending. And this is far more dangerous than the measly Federal Reserve, because it creates malinvestment, that causes depression when it bursts. When you use custodial bitcoin wallets, these are really fractional reserve bank accounts, and the very thing you hate, (printing money) is being done in a sinister new way.... Because the more volatility that comes from these credit busts, the less cryptocurrency will be used as real world money. Which causes capital flight on the "real" lightning liquidity, making it even harder to self-custody due to the cost of capital. You see, Bitcoin's enemy isn't altcoins, it's fake Bitcoin. If Hayek were alive today, he'd say "Not your keys, not your economy" npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com !!! HOT SPECIAL !!!

That's a business without a manager. Bitcoin "Core" had a core team of devs too, (who did nothing but purposefully wreck it) so just having devs doesn't make it centralized unless you're saying Bitcoin is/was centralized as well. Further, Bitcoin is free floating also, as are all assets including the US dollar. Value is subjective and exists in the mind of consumer.

It does NOT compete with Bitcoin for general purpose money. In fact, Arweave sucks for money with slow transactions and horrible privacy. Arweave transactions are linked to the same wallet you used for your content, which everyone can see Nobody in their right-mind would use Arweave to buy a bag of coffee. But nobody in their right-mind would deny the great value that Arweave offers to HOST a website selling coffee, that then collects Bitcoin from customers. So Arweave enables Bitcoin businesses to defy oppressive censorship. Which after these Samarai wallet and Telegram incidents, they seem to be interested in doing. So while I dislike shitcoin venture capitalists printing money, at least they are doing a Proof of Work single-business coupon that improves my life, with no downside for me beyond education.

Unlike the Arweave RSS system I presented yesterday, Which is true and genuine freedom and censorship resistance by transcending physical locations with the files served on a 30+ gateway global CDN, going directly peer-to-peer, With Fountain, you're putting your private Nostr key in a closed source mobile app, served to you by the censorship oppressors Google and Apple. They use the word "open" on their website, but their github doesn't have the code itself: https://github.com/fountain-fm You think you're using peer-to-peer Bitcoin? It's a custodial bank account. Look at this bullshit: "Fountain charges a 4% transaction fee on top of every payment you make to a podcast but you can join Fountain Premium to reduce your fees to just 1%. We also charge 10 sats for comments and replies to reduce spam." In Summary: --Not Bitcoin, it's a bank account. --Zero Censorship Resistance, Regular Files --Insert Private Nostr key into closed source --Heavy integration with Big Tech --Surveillance of who is listening --Leeching Bitcoin fees for RSS feeds and Nostr, which are both peer-to-peer without Fountain You're being manipulated to reject real solutions like Arweave RSS, so these institutions can maintain power and control. npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com Revolutionary Privacy from New RSS feed!

I must say this first: I promote the USE of cryptocurrency, and less so gambling on price. However, it's a struggle to get people to give a shit about freedom tech. So, With this extreme pessimism in mind, I pitch this amazing social network as an investment. Bastyon is dubbed the "Russian Nostr", Unlike Nostr, which is easily banned by Russian & Chinese authorities because it uses websockets to relays with known government domains… Bastyon nodes use torrents for files which functions completely independent of government DNS and works on nodes with constantly changing IPs. Given the effectiveness at Bastyon’s proven ability to penetrate government firewalls in China and Russia, we can essentially guarantee that Bastyon will beat out Farcaster, Nostr, and Lens for the RUSSIAN MARKET when many Russians won’t or can’t even access the competition. In fact, even many US Big Tech companies are completely shut out of Russia. Even if just 1 or 2% of Telegram’s userbase moves over to posting on Bastyon, the coin would have to dramatically increase to even allow them to post daily. Let's dive in to this trend: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/bastyon-telegram/investment.html npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com It's very amusing that in the same thread, some people attack me for requiring too much technical skill to switch off WordPress.

In fact, even the "simplystatic" plugin for WordPress had 20+ javascript calls on the final output npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com Why does WordPress suck? a) Slower for visitors You're selling less business, people are walking away from your malware that loads slow. Search engines punish slow speed. b) Slower to make I hope you like carpel tunnel. WordPress forces you to go in a browser and manually modify shit with a mouse, which is proven to hurt your hands in the long term. Plus it's slow load speeds to work on something constantly reloading on a remote server, so you're urinating on your own time. On top of network issues with Tor c) Leeching Big Tech malware. You're leaking to the government your income, your sales, and reducing your freedom of speech. While it's technically true WordPress is "open source", it has malware Google fonts by default on the front end, jsdeliver to function, and Cloudflare and Google on the backend. Then to do most tasks, you to install 3rd party plugins which are often closed source and have security vulnerabilities. This is because WordPress suffers from mission creep, where they want to do everything. d) Hypocrite You say you want decentralization, but your customers think you're a hypocrite. Most uBlock Origin users immediately see the google fonts and JSDeliver and know you're using WordPress. Now you're trying to sell them on your expertise, but you're using amateur tools. e) WordPress plugins need constant updates for security, but your setup has a unique combination of plugins. Therefore, as time passes by, the probability of a unique failure increases, which costs more money to solve. Instead, ditch bloat WordPress, and go with Hugo. Hugo is a static site generator. This means it generates static content locally on your computer, then you upload and serve a finished static thing. On the other hand, malware WordPress has a live database, and then dynamically creates that content on the site while your visitors wait for it to load. With Hugo, you don't need any coding knowledge to easily and effortlessly format text, add pictures, and change the layout of your articles, on your local offline computer with the keyboard like an alpha male, as opposed to a worthless carpel tunnel bitch clicking a mouse in a remote browser using Big Tech malware. Consider reaching out to Simplified Privacy's on-staff graphic designer to help you transition your content over to Hugo, to become a master of your domain.

So it's the US media that is spreading misinformation. Quote Lying MSN: "Durov’s preference for hands-off moderation has also helped make it a haven for misinformation, with the site only controlling its content when it’s forced to do so by other governments and organizations." This only further demonstrates the need for better technology and more anonymity to defy irrational tyranny. Start preparing your devices and accounts for privacy, Start getting off the fiat banking system, Start learning how to do peer-to-peer economics, In an empire of lies, the truth is treason npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com Who decides what to censor as spam? Nostr and Lens solve the "spam and scam" problem by having the client decide. For example Amethyst for android will hide posts from accounts that others report as scams. These "others" are defined by people you follow, but this essentially puts it up to a community vote of large influencers to silence you. On Lens, once you're labeled spam, you appear in the "show more" of comments. This is a huge turn-off to new users with no followers, who are treated like lower class citizens. Farcaster solves it in a similar way, but by having the official team label it, and then since their client is so large and influential, their list is often distributed to other clients. This is absolutely horrible and way too centralized. While it's true that posts to your followers would still show up, they are effectively silencing your comments. Session has zero censorship for mass DMs in the way I use it, even under outright sanctions. The nodes don't even know I am the sender, and I'm assigned new receivers if they drop me. That's why I like it. But the market likes simpleX more because it rotates encryption keys, so it's tough to get new followers. Can't fight the market. Bastyon solves the problem by a community vote for outright illegal content, to get it off the nodes, such as child porn and narcotics sales. The voters are picked based on their total upvotes, called "reputation". I disagree with this approach, as if we're going to vote, it should be the nodes hosting it (like Arweave does)... Files on Arweave have an unofficial vote, where the nodes can opt out of storing it. And if all the miners chosen in a block opt out, then there's no financial penalty for dropping the content. But if they have the content and others don't, then they have a financial advantage to mine that block over competitors. This approach is good for websites, but for a social network with permissionless replies, it's way too passive. Therefore: I disagree with all these solutions. In my view, the best way to handle spam (in a permissionless system) is to allow the original poster to decide which replies are spam. Then the end user can decide to toggle on or off "criticism and spam" for the replies. After all, if you're following someone, you trust their judgment on the subject they are speaking about. And this decentralizes the decision to each individual poster. Now I do the ironic thing, and turn it over to my replies. Do you think this approach is right? npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com It is not END to END encrypted unless the same provider.

Therefore, Your solution of there already exists all these options is bullshit, because the options contradict each other. Further, It is unclear why a Nostr user, who promotes Bitcoin, (decentralized social media and money), would be opposed to decentralized email. Finally, I reject your entire worldview of having people self-host Bitcoin nodes, which add no value to their lives. Yet, you dismiss people owning a VPS with their communications, emails, docs, files, ect. Conclusion, Given your complete failure to acknowledge basic facts, you're essentially spamming. To say you're worthless would be an improvement, currently you are sucking up my resources to respond to low level dribble.

Now a regional National Labor Relations Board director said that the company is really an employer. And so this ruling will essentially force Amazon to work with unions. You know it's ironic that left-wing Jeff Bezos, who tries to force an agenda of government control to supposedly protect the everyday person, is actually the one who is trying to dance and bullshit his way around the very "Big Brother" laws he promotes.

The purpose of email is the people you're reaching out to don't care. And the businesses you sign up for are forcing you to your account to it. Also take a step back and think about what you're really standing for right now. You're literally trying to haze me for telling people to be decentralized and as self-sovereign as they can be .... and you're instead trying to degrade what I'm doing to promote millionare Protonmail. Like what's your goal? Clearly we would be in a better place if everyone and their mother had their own VPS with email.

When you say "there are simpler solutions out there", yes Mailu is open source email. We are setting it up for people who do not want to read technical docs. And setting up other services on the same VPS, so you get the most out of having one. Your argument is unclear.

First, Proton is NOT end-to-end encrypted. As per own their blog: https://proton.me/support/proton-mail-encryption-explained (Please note, I only changed the CAPS) Quote: "The email is encrypted in transit using TLS. It is THEN UNENCRYPTED and re-encrypted (by us) for storage on our servers using zero-access encryption. Once zero-access encryption has been applied, no-one except you can access emails stored on our servers (including us). It is NOT end-to-end encrypted, however, and might be accessible to the sender’s email service" </end quote> Second, they do scan it for spam and phising. They repeat this with: Source: https://proton.me/blog/encrypted-email-spam-filtering "Emails that come from third party email providers obviously CANNOT be delivered with end-to-end encryption, but upon reaching our mail servers, we will encrypt them with the recipient’s public key before saving the messages(new window). All this is done in memory so that by the time anything is permanently stored to disk, the email is already un-readable to us. This gives us a very limited window to perform spam filtering on incoming messages." Then they further elaborate, "Secondly, the message is passed through our customized Bayesian filters which marks suspicious messages as spam. Next, we generate checksums of incoming messages and check them against a database of known spam messages. If there is a match, we mark the message as spam. The checksums are done in such a way that it is also effective against mutating spam emails." </end quote> So they claim to have it unencrypted, then have a "limited time" to stop spam, but then also claim to encrypt it, and then after compare the hash to spam hash. If their own claims were true, then why do they only have a limited time? Third, they hand over huge amounts of data. If it's encrypted, then what do they have to hand over? From their own transparency report: https://proton.me/legal/transparency "2023 Number of legal orders: 6,378 Contested orders: 407 Orders complied with: 5,971 2022 Number of legal orders: 6,995 Contested orders: 1,038 Orders complied with: 5,957" </end quote> Fourth, you imply that I am not trustworthy but proton with a World Economic Forum board member is.

But not the entire sum of all your activity. So you're protecting against someone seeing everything you're doing. And further, the vast majority of websites will force you to register using email. So just controlling that email is all the stuff you own. Traditional social media accounts, fiat banking, websites, forums, crypto exchanges, dexes, ect Also you can use something like anonaddy to hide that it's even you that's emailing gmail. So gmail would only see each conversation in isolation, and not even know your real domain npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com And tell google what you're buying and where you live?

I promote the idea of self-hosting email on a VPS, to stop passive surveillance. Meaning: No AI is scanning this stuff.

Their new update to "secure boot", which fixed their previous issues with GRUB and Windows together, which Microsoft allowed to be abused by hackers for 2 years before finally patching, now is breaking Linux machines. "Ars Technica reports that multiple Linux dual-boot users are seeing “security policy violation” messages, along with “something has gone seriously wrong” errors. There are reports of issues across Reddit, Ubuntu forums, and elsewhere. Distributions including Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, Zorin OS, and Puppy Linux have all been affected by Microsoft’s patch." It looks like you may have to finally pull the plug and wipe even your back-up Windows that you left for compatibility. Microsoft is so corrupt and worthless, they can not even be trusted as an alternative at boot time.

Google says they’re "winding down the program due to a decrease in actionable vulnerabilities reported by security researchers" In other words, they no longer give a shit if there's malware on Google Play, because now they changed the legal liability to be on the app dev. Over a year ago, they changed the legal wording so the dev has to self-report what permissions are used. This shifts responsibility away from the Play Store onto the dev. But if Google shifts the responsibility on the dev for the bad side, but they keep the good side (collecting user data), then why do we even need them? We don't. Avoid Google Play... switch to F-Droid, APKs, and Obtainium. npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com Why should I care about Arweave websites? Arweave offers unprecedented freedom for both the website visitor and the content creator. For the website visitor, it’s unprecedented privacy. Never before in the history of the internet has the website VISITOR been able to pick the location, ISP, and jurisdiction where they want to RECEIVE the content FROM. In other words, you pick what gateway (and therefore under what terms) you will look at their stuff. Normally, you’re forced to submit to whatever server the content creator wants. Which usually means forced Cloudflare and AWS. Even better, once it moves out of testnet, you’ll be able to self-host your own gateway. In other words, you can SELF-HOST THEIR website, and then only you see your VPN/Tor exit. Creator For the content creator, it’s unparalleled power with: censorship resistance, a CDN, a DNS identity, with no clear-path to a take-down. You can do whatever you want, and governments can’t control you. Even better than that, because it’s permanent, it can serve up unmodified code in a Github type situation, or it can be a legally binding contract for full-blown crypto-anarchy. How’s it work? It’s file storage directly on the layer-1 blockchain, so it works like Bitcoin Ordinals but it scales. It can store anything, including websites or videos. And it has gateways around the world, acting as a CDN. Who cares about this CDN? The problem with the regular internet is Cloudflare acts as the middle-man for all websites and sees all passwords. However, to not use centralized CDNs exposes one to DDoS. By putting it on the blockchain and having different gateways serve it up, it frees the visitor and the creator from Big Tech, censorship, and having Cloudflare own all passwords. How’s the blockchain work? So there’s two aspects to this, first is how is it stored on the blockchain (Proof of Work). And second is how is it distributed to the website viewer (Proof of Stake). Proof of Work Storage https://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/arweave/Arweave-QA/images/proof-of-work.jpg The storage runs on modified Proof of Work using RandomX (Which Monero also uses). Just like Monero, Arweave uses RandomX to force mining to be done on regular computer hardware, and keep out abuse that can rig the way data is put into blocks. But unlike Monero which is just cash, Arweave is a decentralized business that generates revenue. BitTorrent Pool Customers pay for 100 years of storage which goes into a pool (they use the word “endowment”, but it’s not controlled like that). This pool pays out nodes to store the data. They share data with each other using BitTorrent, in a way that incentivizes them to share it with as many other nodes as possible. Then they are randomly asked to produce data, to prove that they have it. Proof of Stake CDN https://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/arweave/Arweave-QA/images/arweave-global.png The CDN gateways are run by a different project, ar.io (IO tokens) which are Proof of Stake. The gateways stake IO, which gets slashed if they serve malicious fake content. Like say you put up your Monero wallet or PGP Key, and they serve up their own wallet or key. The other gateways can decide what defines malicious content in a vote, and so having the coin be Proof of Stake keeps out malicious attacks. One CAN run a gateway WITHOUT staking, but then the gateway doesn’t get rewarded. PoS debate Proof of Stake is controversial, because you’re raising the requirements to scale new locations. However, if there was 0 barrier to entry, then the government could run unlimited malicious gateways with no defense mechanism. The main part of this system I disagree with is the subjective and unclear deciding of what defines malicious gateways. In my personal opinion, it should be mathematical comparison of the files, done in a purely systematic method, without voting.

Yeah XMRBazaar is glitched on the 2-of-3 multi-sig, so we offered an alternative and they were down npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com Simplified Privacy is now regulated... Just not by the government. People pay the government to register a business, but when the customer is cheated, does the customer get any of those corporate registration funds? No, the gov squanders it, and then more must be collected via violent threats. Even worse, "privacy" companies register to get fiat investments, which then forces them to compromise their product at arbitrary corrupt request. Their "innovative" technology can't resist the violent registration, and so they have no purpose. But how can customers be protected if cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible? Today we present a new path. Simplified Privacy deposited 2 Monero with an arbitrator from XMRBazaar and registered it with our PGP key. Regardless of if you use XMR, Bitcoin, or a different currency: All customers get a PGP signed receipt for decentralized email combo clouds, private DeGoogled phones, or other tech services. And this is regardless of if you use the the Bazaar website, Nostr, or any messenger. In the future, I am open to doing a Bitcoin deposit as well to bridge the gap. If we fail to deliver on our promises, you can contact the arbitrator (AilliA), and show your PGP signed receipt. If we fail to respond or provide proof of delivery within 2 weeks, AilliA will pay you XMR from our deposit. My message is clear: You are not defined by the dirt upon which you stand. But by the value you add to society.

This is where law enforcement asks for the data on all phone users in a given geographic area, because they want to know who might have done a crime. The issue with this is that it violates the fourth amendment, as they are getting a huge amount of other data on other people, completely unrelated to the crime. This is the exact type of stuff we advocate avoiding with Simplified Privacy’s educational materials on DeGoogled Phones, WiFi hotspots, and VoIP. However, it appears we are not the only ones against the practice. In the Fifth Circuit case of the United States v. Smith, the Federal Court ruled that geofence warrants, which involve blanket requests for all user data in a given geographic area, are unconstitutional and violate the 4th amendment. Now will this stop the practice? Maybe, but I wouldn’t cancel your VoIP subscription yet. npub14slk4lshtylkrqg9z0dvng09gn58h88frvnax7uga3v0h25szj4qzjt5d6 SimplifiedPrivacy.com Bitcoin is more easily controlled than competitors like Monero, and lightning is more difficult for the average person to self-host, then a self-host wallet that just works.

A 76-year-old woman in Jacksonville is suing Google for deplatforming her about an hour after she emailed members of her pro-life group calling for a peaceful Catholic Mass and gathering in front of A Woman’s Choice, an abortion business in Florida. Trudy Perez-Poveda says Google targeted her after she sent the correspondence through Gmail. Google refused to allow Perez-Poveda to access her more than 11-year trove of stored emails, photographs, calendars, contacts and other data, her attorneys say. People will say “oh, but I’m not protesting”, but here’s the thing: Google is involved in so many different industries and causes, across both the left and right, that the number of triggers is beyond what can be avoided. In fact, any industry, even if not political, has the potential to shake up competitors and cause them to want to stop this change.

Oligo Researchers have found that public websites (like domains ending in .com) are able to communicate with services running on the local network (localhost) and potentially execute arbitrary code on the visitor’s host by using the address 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost/127.0.0.1.
