@nikolal This guy was fined for covering his face, but acting sick may work. I've seen Chinese protesters use those hospital masks for crimes to cover their face.

Anyone know of any type of Anti-Camera/Surveillance clothing or materiel that can be used to avoid camera capture?

Face recognition is taking off and its just another level of invasion and there must be a way to tell cameras to fuck off without needing a mask that stands out.

@Wetrix Its all cool, but im pretty sure I like summer better than winter.

@Wetrix "note what that means"? I can't tell if its a typo or my brain is gonna explode with confusion. 😒

@jonah Will there ever be a PeerTube instance here? I find it hard to find a trusted PeerTube instance that looks decent, but cannot settle.

Not sure how safe the /e/ foundation is but its worth a shot. 5GB is a start.

Check out what I found doing some deep online searching. The "People First" smartphone.

(Not sure if its already been discovered.)

@Wetrix Yes, but there has to be someone out there sneaking some kind of service. Although bank/credit cards were invented to keep track of people and snitch you out.

Apple's new card claims to be secure and anonymous, but it only works with iOS and is sketchy.

For anyone looking for a safe encrypted USB, I would recommend the Kingston DataTraveler 2000. I bought one about a month ago and everything seems great about it.

One con I don't personally like is that it the PIN is entered wrong 10 times, the USB will completly factory reset making it basically brand new giving the thief an expensive little USB.

The most you can get it in is 64GB (Kingston). There is a brand out there called iStorage that provides the same type USB, but not as trusted.

@makuharigaijin Here is a tip, never trust your data on someone elses cloud/server, in other words i'd say no.

If self hosting stuff isn't an easy access thing for you, then simply just get a safe USB/Hard drive to store all your information on. Encrypting that info is always great to.

Anyone know if there is some kind of anonymous/privacy bank out there? Maybe having a fully anonymous bank card like a visa/mastercard gift card. If there isn't why not?

@jonah TextNow is great, BUT they may contain some trackers, plus I havn't read their privacy policy.

@jonah I love Wire, always have, but it has its little issues (Not like Signal doesn't). I wish Signal let you sign up with a username/email tho, I don't trust that sign up with phone number thing, even if you're using some "burner number".

I use both to and don't even know why. If you know any free privacy safe phone number providers let me know because every single one out there seems to be flooded with trackers.

Which do you prefer? (With a reason would be nice.)
