@JessTheUnstill @Pibble

If your threat model is "theft of devices by cops", make shure to be able to commit #AssetDenial or have nothing on the devices they can use!

  • Burner #StupidPhones and (e)SIM-Cards are cheap. keep them switched off and the battery pulled out!

I'd consider wasting €20 on a #StupidPhone, €20 on a rewriteable #eSIMcard and €10-20 on an #eSIM a "necessary expense" and I'd gladly show people how to get that stuff and not burn their opsec/anonymity by doing so...

Infosec ExchangeJess👾 (@JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange)If you're talking NSA level hacking, sure, they can pop anything. But that's oftentimes burning million dollar vulns and potentially creating an international crisis or lawsuits or whatever. If that's your threat model, nothing is going to be secure enough except for truly random one time pads or something, and you need something FAR more advanced to advise your opsec than this. You're basically talking about an entirely different universe of security requirements. I'm talking about local PD just plugging everyone's phones into a standard license Celebrite box and dumping whatever they can. Which is going to be far far less if the phone is in BFU. Stop scaring normies with threat models that don't apply to them. @kkarhan@infosec.space @Pibble

@Germo The problem I have is that #eSIM restricts my #FreedomOfChoice re: #Devices.

  • Yes, I do use multiple devices and I want to be able to pick them freely.

Same with #eSIM: I can put that on a #SIM #Card *but I can't swap the soldered-down #Chip!

And yes, I routinely use #eSIMcards because I get the #freedom and #flexibility of choice, because it's noone's business which #device I use Which #plans on!

Plus many plans I want to use and/or help people to setup are #SIMonly and not available as #eSIM (i.e. #netzclub)...

I dare you to try to deploy an #eSIM on a #2Gonly #StupidPhone whereas a regular SIM can just be chugged in!

Mastodon.nl door Stichting ActivityclubDude Germo (@Germo@mastodon.nl)@kkarhan@infosec.space DualSIM is veranderd in 1 ouderwetse SIM en 1 eSIM En /e/os is gewoon voor niets te downloaden en te installeren

@Saupreiss @unixtippse @der_mit_ph

ALL DAS sind #Downgrades in sachen #UX!

Das gibt's vandalismusgeschützt und robust als Drop-In - Lösung von drölfzig Zahlungsdienstleistern und bedarf weder #Digitalzwang noch #AppZwang, wenn die schon kein #Bargeld akzeptieren wollen!

Bei Kleinbeträgen bis €25 wäre auch #CallPay & #SMSpayment problemlos machbar, was auch mit nem #StupidPhone samt #Prepaid-#SIM geht, ohne Registrierungs-Zwang!

@Tanuki nodds in agreement

Kinda reminds me why I work on @OS1337 ...

Because we get #clusterfuck-based #Enshittification these days and everyone who demands me to setup #Kubernetes or #Docker to even run their Software deserves to be banned from ever touching anything more complex than a "#StupidPhone"!

'Just give me a fucking Tarball!'

woof.groupEsprit de Vore (@aphyr@woof.group)I am begging software projects to release programs as tarballs or plain old static binaries. I don't know what a Helm chart is. I am not installing an entire Kubernetes cluster. Docker breaks LXC and firewalls and is constantly breaking for mysterious reasons. I would rather submit myself to hours of `./configure && make && make install` frustration than try to hack through the endless hellscape of containerized deployment systems.
