Fwiw, a lot of phones with removable batteries, also have an embedded battery. I'm sure you can validate which models do before you acquire yours.

Removable battery is desirable, for sure.

I don't mind my device, its nice, but yeah, I acquired it specifically for Graphene.

No, not unlocked. I followed these instructions. It was straight forward from what recall. IIRC, now that i think about it more, I used a precompiled binary, but checked the hash before installing it. That's not to say I can trust their hashes, but I'm counting on the community to raise hell otherwise.

Yeah , good question. I'm thinking like returning a sha1 hash salted by the client on the running server processes bytecode. But..... I don't know how the client could prove that is the hash of the server process.

If you're talking about GrapheneOS, I've been running the OS myself for the past year.

I didn't send them my device to flash, I compiled it from their repository and flash my device myself.

With that said, the project is complex and the likelihood of an individual to verify there are no exploits seems pretty low.

Moreover, the Over-the-air updates are nice for my lazyass, but its another attack vector

Signal is "open source". The servers and client code were published to a repository on github, and for the past year, they weren't updated at all. Only recently there was an update to the repository for the server. Its clear the public repository is not the canonical repo, so how can anyone trust what they're actually running. Having a zero trust hash signature of the codebase from the servers would be nice

Funny, but full of spooks. Sadly, some ancoms will buy into this fullstop.

WTF are ethics?

Fucking capitalists hackers....

Colonial Pipeline

I can't believe the pipeline is actually named that.

Kudos to the hackers! Well played!

Love it, and I feel like ya might be interested in clipping this limo

While this is all well and good, doesn't it just make the case for an authority and an institution?

Prior to (uh) thinking deeply about the context in which I exist, it was my life ambition to be an investor at a VC firm...

The contradictions never cease....

Apologies if I sounded like I was arguing, it was my stream of consciousness, which is conflicted and confused about it all.

Regardless of the strategy or objective, the tactics are the same. Also, general chaos, has the unlimited potential of creativity and emergence. To me, it is the end, but to fash, its the means to an end. Either way, it is materially identical. It leads me to question what is actually occurring.

Just saw some basement dwelling fash who got picked up by FBI in Ohio for planning electrical grid attack (and the casa pound fash squat in Rome). Is it historically normal for fash to do direct actions that are usually associate with anarchists?

Pepsi Meme lives on.

Anyone have plans for a diy EMP gun?

Indeed, great post. Thanks

How do you account for industrial agriculture requirements to a vegan diet? Would you condemn indigenous folks who, say hunt for their traditional diet? What about the necessity of animals role in an ecosystem or in regenerative agricultural?

Even if you self host, the routing meta data (email headers) are not encrypted or secured in any way.

Wouldn't a Matrix.org service be more reliable for secured communication?
