Cape.co alters a user’s IMSI daily, which helps to cover the IMEI. It’s a telco started by one of the old heads at CalyxOS and their main focus is “defense in depth.” But after the $30 initial month promo, it’s $99/month. However, the layers of protection they provide to obfuscate their customers maybe worth it, depending on your threat model. Here’s a fantastic interview they did with TheHatedOne: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=ZsHZSbNu3CE

Well ya, you need at least two NICs to properly setup a firewall. Additionally, since NICs are the most crucial piece of hardware for routers and firewalls, it’ll only be as good as the hardware it runs on. Older NICs lead to regular crashes and/or slow network speeds. So swapping the original NIC out and adding another is VERY typical when repurposing old PCs as a router. The most common options for NICs I’ve seen are the Intel I350-T2 and I350-T4. Ironically, they cost about as much as a decent router, but going this route actually puts you in control of your home network!

Yep, but unfortunately it’s not always as straight forward as it may sound. Plus, with routers becoming more difficult to acquire, it’ll only get harder and harder to pull off. But there’s OpenWRT and dd-WRT that work with a pretty decent range of routers as well as ASUS Merlin for many ASUS routers. Then, if you want to get nerdy with it and build your own router from an old computer, there’s OPNsense and pfSense. Eventually it’ll come down to these two if the ban is longterm and you want any semblance of obfuscation online…

Why not start the OS swap process by assigning a new number to the Graphene phone or no number just wifi for now? This ensures your main phone will still work for work, while also allowing you to start hammering out any hangups with Graphene?! It truly seems like it’s just going to get more and more difficult to switch as time passes, so starting the process now could make a LOT of sense!

Trump fell into his current position of power simply because of his ability to effortlessly frame the fall of the US Empire as putting America first. While in reality, it’s all just a distraction to cover for billionaires hoarding more and more wealth while the rest of us continue to struggle more and more.

This is easy as I’ve been nerding out on privacy for more than a decade at this point, but privacy.com is the move here! It’s a phenomenal service (even their free tier) which lets you make one time use cards, cards locked to a specific business, or just general use cards. You can set spending limits on all of their cards, and you can set these limits for a defined period of time. Privacy.com is the bee’s knee’s, truly don’t know what I’d do without em these days!
