I'm not largely into crypto but I don't think there's such a thing as a non-KYC online exchange simply due to the nature of how you're buying it- since you're using your bank or some other payment processor linked to your bank account, the exchange will always keep tabs on who is buying what. AFAIK the only ways to semi-anonymously buy crypto is either through some of the specialized ATMs or through ads on sites like localmonero where you buy them directly from another person, where they will totally 100% send you the crypto after you transfer them fiat and never scam you ever

Gonna have to disagree with you on the bandanna advice. Best opsec is to be as unassuming as possible, so get a cheap medical face mask and only wear sunglasses near the middle of a sunny day while visiting stores that have large windows to the outside so you can plausibly say that the light bothers you. And for the love of god don't try to act clandestine about it. You're trying to look like an average shopper; not a leet hacker. Engage in relatable smalltalk so that if you're paranoid about the security cameras that if any security guard watches they'll only see a relaxed and smiling store employee and will subsequently treat you as a non-threat and ignore you. The more you look like the masses, the more you'll be able to fly under the radar.

[@TheJackiMonster]

The problem with Signals encryption is still that its protocol relies on server trust. The papers of the signal protocol are even mentioning that. So in the end I wouldn't heavily trust this protocol and applications which use it just because it's a wide used standard. I mean the most reason to use the Signal protocol is forward secrecy technically. However the end-to-end-encryption doesn't help you if you encrypt your messages with the key of an attacker... and the Signal server is a potential attacker in that case. Also even if the server would not be able to impersonate anyone, it could still drop messages and create a social diagram about you, your contacts and the amount of data you exchange. Metadata is pretty valuable on its own.

[@xfadedxshadow]

This is the real reason why i don't use signal cause all hackers have to do is attack server side instead of client side. there is no decentralization at all.

[@EricS-uf9mv]

This is the most ignorant take I've ever seen written about the Signal protocol. Literally EVERYTHING you've said here is 100% factually incorrect. EVERYTHING. Signal's protocol doesn't "rely on server trust". THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF E2EE! You don't trust the server which is why the entire transaction is PRE-ENCRYPTED by the Sender on the CLIENT-SIDE, using the Receiver's PUBLIC KEY, before passing THRU the untrusted server where it's then decrypted CLIENT-SIDE, by the Receiver using their own PRIVATE KEY. For this chain of trust to occur, Signal utilizes the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol which has been thoroughly vetting by scores of math nerds, crypto professionals, & Alphabet agencies and found bulletproof, NOT requiring trust of any middleware servers! On top of this, they actually "ratchet" the encryption key for every single message going forwards. They use an ever changing ephemeral key for each sent message so breaking 1 key means only breaking 1 sent msg, not the entire conversation & no previous conversations. And you claim about Signal's servers acting as a MiTM is idiotic b/c the entire protocol & key exchange is designed to be completely SECURE WHILE THE ENTIRE KEY EXCHANGE IS BEING VIEWED IN PUBLIC by a malicious bad actor, or a malicious server. Also, to absolutely insure you're exchanging keys with the actual individual YOU THINK you are communicating with, Signal explicitly encourages you to perform the identity verification process OUT OF BANDS!!! - like IRL/face-to-face/or over a separate comm's channel where you can physically see each other & verify their identity during the key exchange. This ensures u aren't being catfished by some 57yo, white nationalist, pervert from Tennessee instead of your 17 yo high school bf/gf. In summary, your "claims" about Signal's servers acting as a MiTM and requiring trust by users is beyond stupid! As for metadata, of all the secure messaging apps, Signal probably keeps the least... and they're actively working on keeping less. Right now they don't know anything about you besides a random phone #, date & time of account creation, and perhaps the IP at time of account creation. They don't know your name, contacts (u CAN provide this for contacts discovery but it's HASHED!), address, email, social graph, picture, or anything else. Yes Signals knows the destination of the messages being send, but duh! It's like a physical letter... you need to write the destination address on the envelope in order for the Post Office to deliver it to the correct house/Signal acct. But Signal actually has written a white paper outlining how they are working to mitigate EVEN THIS. If you want the details, go look it up on Google if you're curious. And lastly, Signal is working to switch from a phone number based account registration to a User Name registration system for even more privacy. Yeah I know they've been working on this years, but they are steadfast in stating implementation IS GOING TO HAPPEN. It's not just talk. It's an active project that's happening. They're just trying to workout a feasible account recovery method that won't alienate 99% of Signal users who are Normies and have zero clue about offline backups, or writing down recovery codes, or even how to use a PW manager.

[@tedkaczynskiamericanhero3916]

@Eric S. Yeah I don't know jack shit and even I know it's encrypted on each device lol I have to enter a pin everh so often to keep using the app. Not sure what happens if I don't enter it though.

[@TheJackiMonster]

@@tedkaczynskiamericanhero3916 In the end the encryption by itself does not matter if the protocol got weaknesses. For example Signal addresses missed messages by allowing your second devices or your contacts devices to retrieve messages after they have been sent already. For that matter you need to repackage them using their own encryption key. That means you will resend a previously end-to-end encrypted message again using a different key, potentially specified by an attacker if they are able to impersonate as a secondary device of your own or your contact. So how would they do that? Thing is that the device which actually authenticates your devices as belonging to your contact is the Signal server. Because your contact might not be in reach. So you ask the Signal server what your contacts devices are and which keys they use. The Signal server responds with something hopefully being the truth but you can only verify by comparing devices and keys with your contact via a third connection or physically. Good luck with that being a standard... This weakness is actually addressed in the white paper of the Signal protocol indicating that the protocol still relies on server trust. That is correct since end-to-end encryption does not prevent your device from encrypting the private information for the wrong person. Key exchange is the most important aspect in that matter and physical exchange is an afterthought at best by Signal. You can theoretically verify keys in Signal with your contacts. But most people won't do that. Also because Signal focuses on forward secrecy as much, keys change after each message ideally. If your have multiple devices, this scales horribly to verify everything properly. That is why I think neither Signal or the protocol should be thought of as the solution to privacy. It has issues. Physical key exchange should have priority in a messenger which aims for proper end-to-end encryption. Still the only popular messenger which visually indicates key verification without going to hidden menus is Threema. But even that won't help with metadata being an issue which should be addressed as I mentioned originally. I have read their white papers for that matter. I am working on developing an open-source messenger which does not require any personal information and which focuses on physical key exchange, having security in mind as minimum and building convenience on top - not the other way around. That is why I don't answer to an ignorant comment from Eric here. Just look up the GNUnet Messenger. It's fully decentralized. There's no requirement of personal information and no requirement of an internet connection either. If I'm wrong by requesting this as bare minimum for privacy, please tell me why I'm wrong. If the code I've written so far is broken, I'm open for corrections and fixes.

Hey mental outlaw, can you talk about arm cpus and how to appy them on a computer build to play video games please.

[@lucasjames8281]

If you want to play games on a desktop, ARM is not the way to go, yet. ARM is just a different architecture of a CPU, just like you have the x86 architecture for the Intel CPUs you're probably more familiar with. Software needs to be compiled to run directly on the CPU, so a game compiled to run on an Intel chip, will not run on an ARM CPU. Most common gaming platforms still use Intel chips, so game developers don't put in resources optimising their software to be built for ARM chips. I'd say this will change in the future as ARM chips continue to be adopted, but for the near future, buy an Intel chip if you want to play games. Hope this helps

Here in Australia, even on pay-as-you-go you need to register your sim with a drivers licence, passport or student id care (if under 18yrs).

[@whcw11]

That's scary. Especially since most services these days require a phone number. I tried to get an anonymous email address recently and was surprised to see that I basically couldn't get one without giving them my phone number. We're so incredibly close to losing all privacy...

[@etziowingeler3173]

Most of Europe too actually. Few years back, you could by them without registerig. Since, obviously, a lot has changed, not for the better

[@BillAnt]

@@whcw11- Australia has lost their privacy from big gov a long time ago, it's a nanny state.

[@Rugjoint]

yea but pay attention to the fact that on signal your phone number is public to everyone, on telegram instead is private and only used to create the account

[@MAST]

I heard that Signal was working at nicknames, but really idc about signal, telegram, because session don't require number phone. And even if they would get rid of number phones, I still would be very, very skeptical and suspicious anyway. If someone didn't start with full privacy, then I assume they work for governments etc. Especially that I heard that USA/NSA was donating money to signal.

love the intro

[@rpeetz]

In my country "Pay as you go" is the same as the regular mobile subscription, both ways you need to provide id number equivalent of Social Security Number in US.

[@aesculetum]

Guess which country is freer? By the way, sopa-de-macaco? Back in the day we didn’t have to have ID with pre-paid phones. Just buy a SIM for 15 bananas on the newsstand and use it.

[@FuckTheState]

Use information, bud.
