Yea this is worse. The politics thing could be brushed off as Andy Yen being uneducated on American politics. Moving away from an already established fediverse platform is contradictory to Proton’s mission. It doesn’t take more than a minute to copy paste their xitter posts to Mastadon.

Tuta is €3.60 a month or €3 a month if you pay for an entire year (€36) not sure if that’s “cheap” in your budget.

A .com domain is like $12 per year

Tuta takes like 48 hours to respons, slower than Proton who takes about 12-24 hours, but as long as the response is under 1 week, its fine by me.

I have only been using Tuta for like a month, still not sure if I’m staying tho…

There’s also Mailbox.org which is also about €3 a month, which doesn’t have encryption by default and they don’t have an official opensource client. (Tuta has their client on F-Droid)

Yes, its for my good friend Winnie the Pooh 😉

I mean, its either shitty job, or shoplifting (and dealing with eviction lawsuits, which gives you like a few months at best).

They wouldn’t.

EU would have to defend Greenland from the USA (and given the already huge amount of US miliary presense, they would probably fail). South America would be a warzone between US and resistance forces funded by EU, but since they also have to fund the defence against Russia, they don’t have the fund to fight two fronts, so they focus more on the EU-Russia front. UK will have to also defend itself from the US military that can launch an attack from Greenland at any moment (good luck, they left the EU lmfao). Russia and China relationship doesn’t do so well and they fight over Mongolia and the “Middle East” (for lack of a better term). Australia joins China as a Special Administrative region because USA gone fascist, and EU is already fighting two fronts, so they eventually got absorbed in China’s sphere of influence. Japan is now a warzone between Vanguardist “Socialist” China, and Fascist USA.

And Taiwan is… wait what’s a “Taiwan”? Oh that boring island that has totally always been under PLA control and totally never had any de facto autonomy under the name ROC, like ever, that Taiwan? Long live CCP! (/s 😉)

(Actually, maybe I should write a story about all this… 👀)

So um… what happens if a EU country who is not in NATO gets invaded? 🤔

Can we revive radios?

I mean, yes they can triangulate transmissions, but (As far as I know) they don’t have IMEIs, and you talk in code to obscure meanings.

You turn it off before going home, and there’s no tracking, don’t transmit from home and its fine.

For evidence, bring a camera.

Buy a camera. Record. Then when you get back, scrub the exif, then upload.

(Hopefully you got a Tails USB ready)

Or just… memorize them?

(Does nobody do that anymore?)

The future of internet is you have to ask your government for permission before you can visit foreign websites.

There is no longer “Internet”

It will be suceeded by:

• Freedom Net (where “Antifa” is Banned, and you need a swastica armband to get access)

• Euronet (where UK just left, again)

• United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (they noped out of the UK, and re-re-joined the EU)

• Putin’s #1 Digital Fan Club

• 中华人民解放互联网 (People’s Liberated Internet)

• And that’s it, Canada and Mexico got Invaded by the US; while UK, EU, Russia, China all fought over the remaining of the world

(okay maybe my worldbuilding is ridiculous, but the world is collapsing and I want to write a story about my predictions of the future mm’kay? 😉)

• Election Audits occurs by selecting random batches of votes to verify, and they doesn’t show discrepencies.

• There are poll watchers across the political spectrum, the Democratirc and Independent poll watchers are there, there are no widespread reports of election irregularities.

• States run elections, even if red states or swing states are rigged, it still doesn’t explain why safe blue states also went red by double digit percentage points. The trend seems to be nationwide.

My Conclusion: Although the election was not totally fair, the unfair aspects didn’t happen in the form of “rigged votes”. They happened as unlimited billionaire political spendings funding propaganda and misinformation, voter roll purges, the First-Past-The-Post voting system and the Electoral College that causes the emergence of a Two-Party System which causes voter apathy because people don’t feel like those are rea choices, and inflation that just so happen to occur duing Biden’s presidency, and voters not understanding that: correlation =/= causation; and thus blamed Biden for it, further fueling voter apathy, and lower turnout from Democratic voters.

What’s doctor? I don’t need them since I have a friend that just shows up whenever I feel sad. Idk why my parents never say hi to my friend, fucking rude.

I would just reply with a guide to shoplifting 😉

Dude, what is that copium you’re on 🤣

OMG

I was born in PRC, and I immigrated to the US along with my family. They just look at WeChat all day, and regurgitate CCP propaganda, and also pro-maga propaganda which is kinda an interesting combo of propagandas, considering how maga is always anti-China. Keeps blaming Democrats for the “migrant crisis” like BRUH we are immigrants 🤦‍♂️.

They left for economic (and to some degree political) reasons. Its fucking hard to get a job in mainland China, like theres 1.4 billion people ye know what I mean. And there’s no unions, no strikes, no workplace safety, no labor rights.

Yea they look at their current Union job in the US and still be like: “China wasn’t that bad”

Also funny thing is: I was the second child to be born in my family… during the One Child Policy… 👀

So I was not supposed to be born, my parents violated CCP policy, and they would’ve killed me (as in a forced abortion) if they found me, so my mother had to hide until I was born, but even then, I didn’t have legal documents (like birth certificates) until they paid a massive fine.

AND THEY ARE STILL SYMPATHETIC TO THE CCP 🤦‍♂️

Gee, thanks mom, guess if you love CCP so much, just let them take you away and force an abortion? At least I wouldn’t have to deal with this fucked up world.

Like, that’s my best argument against them every time they bring up pro-CCP views, I’d just be like (in Cantonese, obviously): “So you agree they should’ve killed me? Why didn’t you just let them then?” that shuts them up every time.

I mean, this world is so bizzare, I feel like I’m on some Truman Show and everyone is just messing with me

it can even send images

Bruh

Imagine transmitting dank memes using a ham radio in the middle of battle 🤣

New Trending Term: “Died In Committee”

👀

Use radios: Gmrs or Ham

Do not transmit from your base, travel somewhere further away, then broadcast. Change location of broadcast every time.

Use encryption.

One method is using my Rattlegram + SSE method (both open source)

Rattlegram is a mobile app that converts text into audio

You play this audio over the radio, and the other side can use this to decode and get back the text.

All you have to do is encrypt the text using any open source program. I like to use SSE (Secure Space Encryptor / aka: Paranoia Text Encryption on iOS). You could also use PGP, but it would take longer to transmit the message since asymmetric encryption results in longer ciphertext.

Copy-paste the ciphertext into Rattlegram and voila! (Just reverse the process on the other side to get the plain text)

Obviously you shouldn’t use any iOS or Googled Android. Use Graphene OS or something like that. Physically disable the antennas on the phones, you need them airgapped.

Alternatively, you can use One Time Pads, although it would be slightly harder to generate, distribute, and store OTPs, but if you use OTP, you wouldn’t need to rely on digital encryption, and its more secure, but it’d be much slower to manually encrypt your text.

For resistance radio stations: Shortwave - although there aren’t really any interesting stations right now, but if a civil war starts, I could see someone in Canada or Mexico start broadcasting to give the US revolutionaries info. Shorwaves can travel long distances.

Name it “RedditSimulator” because that’s what it is 🤣

Edit: We can roleplay as a human or bot

If human, just post normally like an average redditor, if you wanna roleplay as a bot, only post from a chatbot. Then Lemmings have to guess if a user is roleplaying as a human ot a bot. 🤣

set up my own mail server.

Unless you are like a very skilled computer expert, don’t.

Use an encrypted mail provider + custom domain.

I just set up one on Tuta (#NotSponsored), and bought a two year for a .com domain.

I don’t know coding, I suck at most techy things. I managed to set it up by just… following instructions.

Register domain + Payment.

Go to Tuta, get premium plan.

Go to Tuta’s settings, set up Custom Domain.

Copy Paste all the DNS configuration stuff.

Voila, easy.

If Tuta goes rogues, I’d find another one, change settings.

If domain registar goes bad, I’d transfer it to another one.

TLDR: You’re better off just using a mail provider + Custom Domain
