cock.li but it doesn’t encrypt your inbox so keep that in mind.
At least on my phone, rebooting also makes it require PIN
For those who don’t remember, not only could signal be used for SMS, it used to be able to do encrypted sms convos.
As a Go dev, its simplicity is arguably taken too far. For example there are no union types or proper enums
It usually isn’t super hard to tell apart randomized junk like this from real human patterns. That is why Tor Browser for example tries its best to make everyone look the same instead of randomizing everything.
That said, for the mere purpose of throwing off the ISPs profiling algorithms, you could make a relatively simple python program to solve this. A naive solution would just do an http GET to each site, but a better solution would mimic human web browsing:
If you have no programming capability this will be rough. If you have at least a little you can follow tutorials and use an LLM to help you.
The main issue with this goal is that it isn’t possible to tell how advanced your ISP’s profiling is, so you have no way to know if your solution is effective.
Feel free to DM me if you go this route.

Yes and no. decentralization is great for a lot of reasons but it does come with downsides. I don’t know about you, but i convinced my family and friends to use and keep Signal for years now and i don’t think i would have had such luck with Matrix/Element, let alone a p2p app.
I’m glad decentralized options exist and think they deserve more funding and love, however.

Depending on what you’re doing, Local LLM can help a bit. Like if i want a recipe for an apple pie i could use LLaMA-2 to find out even without an internet connection.
Not saying its a replacement for a search engine, i just think its worth mentioning.
(edit for grammar)
you can still use a yubikey or even a password manager like keepassxc with passkeys, no need for any google/apple or even secure enclave.
