Oh? Thundermail will "opensource" their mail server? That's going to fantastic I think, a real competitor to the other FOSS mail servers out there I think.
Get a VPN using cash/XMR (Mullvad/IVPN), and then either use them directly or over TOR to create the account.
I need to watch this Defcon talk
Personally, Framework has become a bit too expensive for me. If you're in the US I'd look at the older Dell precision and HP ZBook workstations from 2020 or earlier, they have amazing specs and go for $400 or so. Fairly repairable because enterprises demanded that they be and gobs of power for anything you want.
If you slap AGPL or something on it corporates will have no choice but to open-source their products built on top of your software.
Older MacBooks still have that darned WiFi card which you need special proprietary drivers for. And basically nothing in that chassis is standard; everything is Apple-specific if you want to repair it. I don't recommend MacBooks
I wish the communications of politicians get hacked and their plans leaked. They don't care unless it happens to them.
OS-hardening is exactly what I meant. Thanks

Am I missing the point or do these people have buckets of cash to spend?
If you're going to travel to Germany then you might face similar treatment. Take care
Thank you for your comment, I will save it. This really cleared it up
It is possible. One can have IMAP hosted on their server and simply use the SMTP server operated by a different entity. There are companies offering SMTP servers for free as long as you're under the limit.
Thanks. After speaking with some others here, I've realised that this is actually quite doable (in theory). The other commenter has a great note on DKIM and SPF that I'm sure will help anyone looking to do this. Thanks for your help, I've also found a lot of companies offering a free SMTP server for a limited number of emails (which is more emails than I'll ever send so it works for me).
Yes, by tight security I meant confiscation of your devices. This has been a regular thing in many middles eastern countries, some European countries and now the US, so it's no longer a joke to the average Joe.
I wish I could survive without a SIM but a realistic look at my life makes it obvious that I cannot. Unfortunate
Doesn't delete it from Reddit's servers unfortunately. All you've done is prevented people who might have been interested in your answers to not discover them anymore. And maybe the odd occasional bot that slips through the cracks
As you noted in another comment, your IMEI number is out and it has already been mapped to your current location. Which means if you travel with this device and security is tight enough, in theory they will be able to find out where you live. They will then probe for associated metadata from there.
Other than that, there's not much risk as far as I can tell. Clear your list of WiFi networks before you travel and hope Google's firmware for their modem isn't spyware (it likely is though, Qualcomm made it).
If you want no cellular tracking: remove SIM, disable eSIM, switch on airplane mode and disable WiFi-calling if not disabled already.
Yes unfortunately your device has already been "fingerprinted", but with MAC randomization and GrapheneOS' work on preventing apps from checking software and hardware identifiers, I think you'll be fine unless you're going against the NSA. You shouldn't be using a phone if you're up against multiple 3-letter agencies
It seems to be a bigger problem than I imagined. What is the corporate buyout even doing on Mastodon? He needs to either give a really good explanation or be kicked.
I do not have a mastodon account, if you do/anyone does it would be great if the other mods there can be notified about this
I want to ask the same question I ask every time this comes up: how will they "ban" encryption?
Sure, they can ban the signal/session/simplex app from the app stores in the continent. Doesn't prevent you from just downloading the APK/using any FOSS store like F-Droid and accrescent though.
The only problem I can see is that people are idiots and will go along with this, and then share confidential information with you, who is trying to maintain good digital privacy and hygiene, and by extension shine a spotlight on your behaviour to alert the local police force that you're trying to have a private digital life. I try to be strict with my family about these things but both the older and young folk don't care at all.
