Privacy and security concerns, most of them are like big tech on wheels. See Telsa and others spying on users during intimate moments. Also most have major security vulnerabilities.

Just hotspot, unlimited data. Also donating to a nonprofit

Yeah I assume they're good on privacy, but having a WiFi network showing global position isn't ideal. In case you're not aware, all WiFi networks are globally traversed and public information. wigle.net for more info

Maybe have the network name something generic to your region and then a VoIP number and Signal/Briar/Session/whatever

Thanks for the info!

Yeah, only US probably due to the "education" radio frequency stipulation for their nonprofit to get the service at all. Which is why I want it, to study

Very cool! Yeah can you have multiple SSID channels? Can you set the DNS? Does it perform as you'd expect?

 

Anyone try out these hotspots? Any opinions? The cost is comparable or cheaper to buying directly from a phone provider. Are the hotspot devices decent? Customizable?

The non profit itself seems interesting and privacy focused. Their OS seems well maintained and it "just works".

Hopefully the author explains how to use SSL/TLS since their site doesn't :/

Seriously. It isn't helpful towards the environment if we are using so many resources to mine chips and metals and then push it along the internet to then be trained on said AI bots. Would be more sustainable using paper and planting trees smh

Also the internet uses massive amounts of water and energy

Yeah, with a shrinking supply, prices will skyrocket no matter what

So from a security mindset, this is a nightmare. This person must be a paid plant for Big Cross-Site-Tracking

Lemmy does not remove exif data (unless the code has changed), you need to remove it yourself (also a good practice in general)

 

With so many variations of Lemmy and fediverse instances, are there any defenses against a malicious server running altered code? Is there a way to prove what code is supposed to be running on each instance?

Anybody playing this game? I got it a while back on Steam and can't believe I've been sleeping on it. It's oddly relaxing and fast paced at times; requires thought but also is mentally relaxing. 9/10 great fun game that allows exploring without hand holding
