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

Thank you!

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

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

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)

I welcome my human counterparts

Check out the current Luddite movement, this is their main complaint

Article is from 2023

A combination of inputs before my existence, during my historical existence and real time inputs which combined with natural randomness leads to outputs at time

I suppose it depends on what outcome you want. Do you want only your thoughts or do you want something or someone else’s thoughts

That’s a different conversation. I’m talking about an adversary who just creates a Lemmy instance and has malicious code embedded in the images, videos and text

What does that have to do with any corporation? Facebook specifically is already in a lawsuit this last month about installing malicious Root Certificates and performing man in the middle attacks against Amazon and Google, so I’m not sure what you’re asking

Yeah, but the average internet users doesn’t understand these concepts. And with the use of “random-lemmy.random” it seems like it might be an easy attack to fall for

I think the chances are high since the domains are supposed to be novel, compared to Facebook which is a worldwide known domain and chances of impersonating it are slim or would require a client side hack

The quick defederarion option is a nice defense. Could be some damage in the meantime though

Either or. Would be more nefarious to have users sign up for a malicious instance unknowingly and then federate with non malicious instances
