This is what I'm referring to. I remember you had more impactful privacy guides a while ago but "lockdown" an iPhone and claiming VPNs aren't effective? Come on man, you're putting a lot of peoples privacy at risk when you say stuff like that. Most people already use iPhones so if you tell them that they just need to change their iPhone DNS server and turn off some telemetry and iCloud switches and call it a day, they'll just stop at that and never bother to look into GrapheneOS.

Privacy is bottom up. Badness enumeration on top of an inherently privacy compromising platform is not an effective strategy for opsec.

I wish you'd focus on more important privacy measures than DNS, which is am uphill battle of badness enumeration if your software and hardware can't be trusted.

Instead of following your guides on turning off iPhone permissions and configuring a pihole, your readers would have much better privacy but just using GrapheneOS which uses DoT by default and doesn't send any telemetry by default. DNS filtering can do nothing to stop Apple's telemetry if they just bundle it into a domain that's required for basic device function (they do).

Network obfuscation and DNS filtering is much more powerful through a VPN tunnel anyway since your ISP still sees domain names in plaintext with HTTPS even with a local DNS resolver. Installing Mullvad and using an ad and tracker blocking DNS filter will go way farther at obfuscating traffic than even the most aggressive local DNS filter without a VPN.

I love the content generally, my criticism is purely constructive and of good faith.

So true. God wants us to know and love Him and gave us the full choice to deny this purpose. Love cannot be forced, lest it's more akin to Stockholm syndrome. He gives us this choice so we can truly love Him, with our whole soul and will.

You can't MAKE someone love you, that's never love.

We're at war with Iran, it's literally the worst timeline.

It means Foundry is mining selfishly, judging by the headline.

Most cash these days only takes a few hops, say you go ATM then send those bills out without spending locally and getting all new local bills, there's a high degree of co fidence that you mailed your cash since it all of a sudden ends up across the country.

Say you repeat this pattern and use the same seller often, then they have a decent idea that you're sending cash to buy something.

This is resolved by using cash more locally and sending bills you've recieved as change. This is why I like to spend $100s then buy XMR with my 50s and 20s.

Lots of people are coming to your realization about Monero. I really fear for the future of Bitcoin, it used to be difficult to talk about L1 privacy, now it's impossible and difficult to even convince most Bitcoiners that p2p digital cash is even the goal of Bitcoin. The culture has been completely gutted by deep state infiltration.

How are you going to levy pressure behind a bunch of botnets and gaming PCs behind VPNs and Tor? Don't pretend that Bitcoin's corporate ASIC mining is anywhere remotely as decentralized as RandomX mining in Monero.

Israel.

It's just straight up a psyop at this point. So undeniable.

Boomers still are the largest voting block. Baby BOOM is their namesake, they've been the largest demographic for decades and have tailored the culture and political sphere to their whims as they've grown. At first it was liberalize everything in the 70s and now progressed to make houses more expensive, spend ridiculously on Medicare and social security and keep 401ks high no matter what.

Bitcoin is supposed to be decentralized and permissionless. Not completely dependent on Spark.
