in the same way you mention cell towers being able to triangulate a device, you can also be tracked with WiFi APs if you’re connected to or even just searching for a network.

hence “beyond”… you’re good mate ;)

3,4 and 5. 1 and 2 require you to not have cell service, which is possible for any device.

spent some time last week adding metadata to my mp3 music obtained with yt-dlp. used musicbrainz Picard.

I’m actually really surprised how comprehensive that database is, and how easy it was to manually tag the tracks that didn’t get picked up automatically.

something I feel is important to note: they added CSAM to the list of things they were searching for in order to gain access to his phone.

when the phone was clean (due to the wipe), they did not follow up on that charge

if they truly believed this person to be in possession of CSAM, a warrant should’ve been issued by now to follow up on that very serious accusation. instead, they go after the destruction of evidence.

because they have nothing on this man, and it was a fabricated excuse to gain access to his phone.

bringing you joy is its purpose, and that is valid.

LAPD suspending their contract gives me hope that this movement is strong enough.

Protesting, showing up to city council, and generally making officials’ lives uncomfortable is the bare minimum, because it works.

MHFU is definitely my favorite too. very fond memories as I’d get together with my friends (who had moved away) once or twice a year to do the big hunts we struggled with on our own.

I also really liked star wars battlefront: (rogue squadron?). was a bit shit to aim with no second stick but I remember the incinerator plus a lock-on killed anything real quick.

iirc the flock database is searchable by “man wearing x” type queries, so grey-man style clothing would be more beneficial here.

we get none of the cool parts of cyberpunk I swear.

thank you for this

first off: super useful project.

the two biggest things I can think of are contact list imports and exports. I could see myself adding my immediate family manually. more than that and it becomes a chore rather than a setup.

awesome! I should have some playtime Sunday and hopefully get some real feedback to you. looking forward to watching this project grow

yoinking that phrase, thank you. do you remember where you got it from?

it might be because you were trying to access via VPN. if you have a residential IP to exit from or you can go to a library or something to try and sign up from there, I bet this wouldn’t trigger.

just did a quick readthrough. looks like you’ve covered my use cases (for my home network at least). looking forward to seeing how it integrates into my stack.

forgive me if you go over these questions, I didn’t find them covered anywhere.

how lightweight are the endpoints/sensors compared to opencanary?

is there any way to do a log export? I saw several siem integrations and more on the roadmap but I personally always appreciate the ability to do this.

good call. if they’re asking for photoID I will stop recommending them

depending on your use case, check out privacy.com

they offer digital cards that act as proxies to your bank. if there’s ever a vendor breach, payment information on you is not the same between any two vendors. you can limit your cards to single-use, merchant locked, and set spend limits.

this service is not anonymous as they need your bank details.

yep. i’m the target customer for this vehicle, and idk if I’ll be getting it. when I was originally thinking about buying it the economy was doing fine. not great, but I was/am fortunate enough that i could spend $20k on an enthusiast car that I’d use as my commuter.

now, I’m thinking a shite $5k Prius could accomplish everything I need.

I still have to make up my mind, but right now (speaking for myself) that money can be put in a lot of better places.

so does mine. I share your doubts, because I believe at the end of the day these systems are built to help public officials evade accountability.

its so much easier for a private company to fuck up and fine them for it(aka, cost of doing business) than any of the historical alternatives that pin accountability on our public institutions.

yes, iirc phones still advertise periodically. best to switch it off when not in use.
