@bdf2121cc3334b35b6ecda66e471 @froge @fj maybe but it's better than a #proprietary, #SingleBendor & #SingleProvider solutiom as it just works even on #throttled, sub-#2G speeds over #Tor...

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@froge@social.glitched.systems @fj@mastodon.social I'm nit replacing @signalapp@mastodon.world with *"random tools"* but good options. Like @delta@chaos.social & @thunderbird@mastodon.online as well as @monocles@monocles.social / #monoclesChat & @gajim@fosstodon.org which owrk flawlessly over @torproject@mastodon.social / #Tor using @tails@fosstodon.org / @tails_live@venera.social / #Tails and @guardianproject@librem.one / #Orbot respectably. - Also these allow not only #SelfHosting but just work and I'd highly recommend #monocles as a hoster which finances iself by users paying *and* allows #anonymois accoubts & payments including not just #Monero but also #CashByMail! Considering the costs of even acquiring and upkeeping an #anonymous #SIM, I'd rather pay €2 p.m. for #XMPP+#OMEMO and #PGP/MIME-supported #eMail with thr option of self-custody than $2,50+ p.m. just to keep a phone number. - Plus I don't run around with a #tracking device that could be used to #deanonymize me any second...

@snep espechally on mobile!

OFC it won't make shit go faster, but more reliable.

  • #latency is shit on all mobile networks that ain't straight-up #IP-based like #WiFi, Tor doesn't add that much to it...

In fact, Tor makes #throttled connections bearable for me for >15 years, as even back in 2008 one couldn't just get "unlimited data", espechally not as an individual (school child) without income or wealth!

Issues aside it's now 15 years since I started using #Tor / @torproject & @guardianproject / #Orbot on #Android full-time.

Because in #EDGEland they yeet users to 64kBit/s if not even lower to 16kBit/s past paid bandwith and instead of properly renegotiating the bandwith, they trottle connections by reducing the packet rate / dropping packets, making it as #laggy as a #GSO-based #SATCOM connection!

  • On top of that, almost all #MNO|s & #MVNO|s illegally use RFC1918 Address space, *espechally 10.0.0.0/8 for #CGNAT, thus bricking #VPN|s and sadly @BNetzA doesn't really give a damn!

@Melissabeartrix @Tattooed_mummy I see #AltText & #ImageDescription as both a necessary work and opportunity to #DoBetter...

  • Yes it'll cost me time and slow me down #shitposting or whatever but I do also oftentimes interact with the #Fediverse on #Narrowband (cuz #EDGEland) and I'm glad I can still use it on my mobile at #throttled #2G speeds.

  • Also I do have #blind followers and I think it's important to also let them access the conversation - or at least give them the choice to do so.
