Last Notes npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim There's a page on our site we hope stays boring forever: the warrant canary. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your phone is two computers. The one with your apps, and the baseband: its own processor, its own closed OS, talking to towers on its own schedule. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Our support inbox cannot look you up by name, email, or address. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We take crypto, so here's the honest bit: an on-chain bitcoin payment sits on a public ledger forever. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim GrapheneOS users: the PikaSim app runs fully without Google Play Services. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Flora and fauna of Oahu npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We run a public Tor relay.

A few want a face scan. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim How much travel data do you actually need? Most people overbuy. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim If I were starting privacy from zero today, in this order: npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Hotel wifi or mobile data, which is safer? Different risks, not a ranking. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The most useful thing an eSIM does has nothing to do with travel. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim If you do one security thing today: call your carrier and put a port-freeze and a PIN on the account. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We're zap-enabled. Our npub has a Lightning address wired straight to it, no custodian account in the middle. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim A travel data eSIM and a phone-number plan are not the same product, and people find out at the worst moment. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your carrier's memory of you is longer than yours. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Honest limits, since most sellers skip this part. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The degoogling checklist: OS, browser, app store, DNS. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The carrier on your bill is often not the network in your phone. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim People trust a physical SIM more because they can pull it out with two fingers. Feels safer than software. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim One of the best parts of traveling are moments like this. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The four ways people break a travel eSIM, most common first: npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim How do you prove an eSIM is yours when there's no account to log into? npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim An eSIM QR code contains no eSIM. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim SMS has no end-to-end encryption. None. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Every eSIM carries an IMSI, the identifier your carrier uses to know it's you across a network. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The most underrated thing about eSIMs isn't privacy. It's compartments. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim A myth that keeps circulating in degoogled circles: you can't use eSIMs without Google. True once, false now. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your phone's public IP belongs to hundreds of strangers at once. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Signal encrypts what you say. It cannot encrypt who you are. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Before you open a single app, a stock Android phone has already talked to Google several times. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We keep a warrant canary and we re-attest it by hand on a schedule. No automation touches it, because the whole point is that a human has to sign off that nothing changed. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Fresh phone, still in the setup wizard. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Our AI agent can now buy its own connectivity. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Accepts Bitcoin" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in most eSIM ads. If they still want your email, verify your ID, and log your device, the crypto payment just launders a data trail into looking private. Real test: could you buy it and stay a stranger the whole way through? npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim There are fake cell towers in the wild, and your phone connects to them willingly. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim They want your name, address, government ID, and a backup number before your prepaid line switches on. The phrase is know your customer. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your carrier can't read your HTTPS traffic. It can still log every site you visit. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim People lost their minds when the TV turned out to be listening. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Every SIM carries three numbers, and to the network the one you see is the least important. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim A company that profits off privacy should fund the commons it profits from. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The most private phone you can buy runs on Google hardware, and people lose it over the irony. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim We had ~150 followers a few days ago. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim A phone line with no name on it used to be normal. It is being deleted quietly, one regulation at a time, while everyone is distracted. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Your travel eSIM says you're in Tokyo. Websites swear you're in London. Neither is broken. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Does PikaSim work in Turkey? npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Watching governments race to ban VPNs while the SIM sits there untouched is genuinely funny. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim An AI agent can now get itself online. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim 150 countries now demand your name, ID, sometimes your face, before a SIM will turn on. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim 3 things to do this weekend, no tech skills needed: npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim most of the internet runs on people who never question the default stack (ISP, SIM, Google, etc) so a small group can build the infrastructure that makes anonymity possible for everyone else. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The practical stack, in order of effort: npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim The quiet shift in "Chat Control" isn't scan-the-message. It's verify-the-identity: age checks by ID or face scan, tied to your accounts. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim PikaSim is attending @WebX_Asia in Tokyo npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Reminder: anonymity is not just for criminals. You need to understand that protecting your identity online is a basic right. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Probably the only empty street in Shinjuku npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim GrapheneOS hardens the device beautifully. But the moment you insert a KYC'd SIM, your carrier links every tower ping to your legal name. Threat model doesn't end at the OS. Anonymous eSIM, no ID: https://pikasim.com npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim 2 hours after a German signs up to your site, they've filed 3 GDPR requests and asked where you store your logs. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim "Chat Control" is two things, and the fear mixes them up. npub1vtwqkw59q7heudskvx9g92d8wrvc0lj8a2qe34ul6x7hc3vpxy4qzfnulm PikaSim Reminder: anonymity is not just for criminals.
