I’m open to the better answer - what is it?

Or use a ROM (grapheneos, e, lineage, etc)

I’d add the hardware drivers must be open sourced at the end of support as well, and no drm, patent, reverse engineering legal protections for a out of support Device/chipset

You need to be clear about your threat model. Right now everything you do on monero is opaque for now. In 5 years or 10 years, it might be visible. Is that okay?

Using the same exchange for both sides of your transaction adds a lot of operational risk, they might see your IP address, they might see the transaction size, they might measure your typing speed, browser fingerprinting etc etc etc

The wallet you use may have some peculiar indication and its transactions, that can make it more easily stand out.

I recommend reading the monero white papers, they go into a lot of detail about rings and so forth.

So, if you’re just trying to obscure your VPN purchase, your protocol is fine because the risk is low.

If your life is in danger if this gets connected to you, then you really need to come up with a very clear threat model, and figure out every step.

At a minimum, use two different exchanges for both sides of your protocol, transfer from one wallet to a different wallet on the monaro side so that you get different transactional fingerprinting.

rose the DIASS to

DIAAS

DIAAS recommends using pigs for the reference readings as their GI tract more closely matches humans then other animals.

As our understanding of plant-based nutrition has improved however, it has become increasingly apparent that emphasizing protein quality in developed nations is unproductive, influencing food selection with irrelevant metrics rather than more important dietary factors and truly prevalent nutritional shortcomings (i.e., fiber). Pervasive use of DIAAS and food selection based on this score is thus futile at best and harmful at worst.

As far as published opinions go, this is a wild one, the opinion cites other opinions for it’s basis, and recommends PDCAAS (rat based) because it’s more favorable to the conclusion the author wants. It’s a really strong, and totally unjustified statement, to say that fibre is a more important nutrient then protein. (people will die without protein, but they wont die without fibre)

not to mention the admitted conflicts

Conflicts of Interest/Competing Interests Joel C. Craddock and Emma F. Strutt are affiliated with Doctors for Nutrition, a not-for-profit registered charity that promotes healthy eating by advocating for adoption of whole food plant-based diets.

Yep. I carry around a USB data protector in my bag at all times. They’re tiny, by 20. Put them around You’re going to lose them. They’re great.

If you have a very sensitive threat model, it can also limit charging to only when the device is off. Which is the most secure form of charging

Hrmm, but a two week withdrawal outage is really long if they actually have the xmr

I think it’s obvious they are fractional reserve, they sell more monero than they have. And then when the price goes high a lot of people withdraw, and they’re left in the lurch to actually come up with the monero they didn’t have.

Well that’s my guess at least

Because censorship of topical newsworthy events is antithetical to freedom. Sure first the censorship will start with “gruesome” but it won’t stop there, let people opt out, but it shouldn’t be scrubbed from existence.

Any system is imperfect, that means some people in prison must be innocent, that means crimes are being inflicted against innocent people.

Before we try to manage the entire population at large, let’s just eliminate crime in prisons and jails. That’s a controlled environment, but it’s rife with crime. If we can’t fix a controlled environment, how can we possibly fix an open environment?

Using the drones for a led based video display just makes sense but I was still surprised when they did it.

I wonder how they plan out the movements?

I haven’t tested this myself, but I think the multiple users on Android would all have their own separate USB mass storage device areas. So if you switch to user b, attach the computer, allow on the phone the mounting. It’s user B’s files that get shown not user A’s

Hi! I think you mean me.

He was here last time the first set of studies were published to try and convince people plant based diets don’t work.

I never said that. I believe plant based diets have a demonstrated track record of being better then the standard western diet in terms of health outcomes.

Where’s that guy that always jumps on these posts

I’ve already made my comments on this study available on a previous post about it. here

with a bunch of pseudo science to explain why his carnivore diet is the real secret to not getting cancer, or some shit?

That hasn’t been demonstrated in the literature, we have early days studies using a a strict ketogenic/fasting protocol and glutamine inhibitors for glioblastomas with very promising results (still waiting for everyone to die to get the full benefit recorded), right now its only “many more years” then standard of care (6 months). It’s important to note this literature does not require carnivore, it could be plant based keto.

I have posted about people’s individual anecdotes about their individual health journeys and diet, but that is hardly science, and I would never bring that up in response to someone else’s post.

That link appears to be dead, I think this is the more canonical url

Depends on where your going and your threat model, but basically every time you cross a boarder your phone is fair game to be searched and compromised.

Even if you have nothing to hide and your phone gets searched, now you can’t trust it, something may have been tampered or installed, so you have to reset it (at a minimum).

Travel phones might optimize different features (like sharing vpn over hotspot) vs high security (gos), may have different radios, or just less of a pain to replace.

When you travel you may have to install apps that are outside your comfort zone (wechat, velo chat, taxi apps, etc)

When you have a dedicated blanked phone for travel, you become very deliberate about what data you take with you, which is good for corporations and thoughtful individuals.

3 - Since its not getting security updates, should never leave your network or talk to the cell network, its just a conceit to good enough convenience.

Yup! Risk reward balance, but its not on the cellular network, its only on a desk in a protected network, it isn’t a daily driver, and it stays off unless I need to use it. So I’m not wasting a good phone on a stock os, and I have access to the annoying banking apps when needed (rarely)
