I just ordered a pinephone, haven't received it yet. The pinephone is the best native option in the U.S right now but you can get some unlocked smartphones with better hardware and install Linux it's just a bit of a headache.

The general consensus is that it's pretty low power, being one of the only chipsets that has publicly available design docs for it. It's a mid tier 2015 era chipset. It a bit slow but works as a phone. You can probably emulate android apps in it.

Yes lol I think the first 3 times I died from a spino, I was like, wtf was that? I didn't even see it.

We have a literal child running our military, we might honestly want to get ready for any shit China or Russia or Iran might try to pull while we have our pants down.

One good solution might be decentralized webhosting and infrastructure. If people want high speed access, they have to seed it at a low rate. Nothing crazy is required just constant seeding at low rates. A few max connections and a cap of maybe 50KBps min is required. You also use random hash checking against multiple clients to verify correctness, and you have p2p blacklisting of known bad actors. A solution for people who don't have steady Internet access might be to just seed a similar amount on quota or to buy p2p credits to access the content.

This is part of an idea I have been working on for an internet 2.0. There is a basic cryptocurrency called compute coin, and as you seed you mine coin. The verification works by utilizes many nodes to verify everything is working correctly. You can buy coin that people mine instead of seeding if you wish. A very small portion of each transaction, a fraction of a fraction of a percent goes to a nonprofit who works on the tech and fomalizes the standard. You can also just buy compute time on the network. People are free to sell their resources at whatever price they want and the market balances itself automatically. The transaction fee is calculated automatically to cover the budget of the nonprofit which oversees it. DNS is also handled p2p. If I were in control I would also make it mesh network friendly, with sliders to prioritize what the user wants, from latency, vs avoiding certain countries, vs cost, vs using a whitelist of trusted nodes for security purposes.

This would also require swarm security to prevent any one user from being able to sniff out keys and passwords and stuff. Basically the network would work together to generate periodic temporary keys to allow machines to access the data for a period of time without revealing itself to anyone. The nonprofit would be the only completely trusted authority and it would have a board who oversees banning of nodes and the money seized would go to support the development of solutions and strategies to combat any fraud on the network. This seems expensive at first, but with Asics this can be made very cheeply. I imagine people would want to run different types of nodes to generate currency. Asics would be a good cheap solution. It's a market that will build itself very quickly. You can also have verified nodes that cost a bit higher then average probably to access but can provide additional security for certain tasks. These can either be crowd sources or run by institutions which publish node lists.

If the law wishes to regulate it, this could only be achieved by region specific keys and would not be network wide. Courts might have to set up a way to subohena resources that gets registered in a public domain that gets released to the public after a year or so, in order that citizens can verify what the government is snooping on.

It can also be used for free by just having a algorithm automatically determine mining rates to pay for the use of the user, with a buffer to keep a seemless experience.

Perhaps for this particular problem however you could just set up a p2p platform with file verification. People could offer free nodes, businesses could pay money to these nodes to get access to high speeds and large amounts of bandwidth. People can also join p2p nodes where what they can download equals to what they contribute to the network. This can just be estimated based on average use and maintained with a buffer if people really don't want to seed all the time.

Who cares? The average EU citizen will benefit far more from the regulation. I don't think any of their laws have been bad so far, mostly requiring standard connectors, requiring user access to install what they want without apples permission, and monopolizing software stores in general. This might be a great opportunity to actually get some consumer friendly competition out of Europe for once. Also Samsung already allows third party app stores, has USB C like every other modern device, and allows side loading. It's going to get interesting once Google starts complaining that they can't control users devices after they buy them as well with their upcoming ban on non Google approved software installations.

Basically the Linux version of deleting system32 but idk I'm not a super Linux nerd yet.

Ports to South America, and ports in New york to Europe.

Dont ever share a drink with a bat, they are basically flying biolabs. Do give them some water though.

They don't have any in the U.S unfortunatly. They wont sell the radios to access our cell networks to companies that wont do what they want them to do. Like lock bootloaders, ban apps they dont like, etc.

Downlaod managers can work with most downloads. If a site is really badly coded it still wont work. Bittorrent is good for this. I recomend qbittorrent on linux/windows, or flud on android.

With bittorrent you want to configure your settings. Set you max upload to half of what your connections upload speed is, or lower, you might have to experiment with this to see what your router and connection can handle. Activate "exit on finish" limit your max connections to 50-100 if you dont have a router with a strong CPU. Enable "require encryption" or use encryption and dont allow non encrypted connections. (Keeps your isp from throttling and helps keep you safer) Disable automatic start when you device boots up (very important)

Then you are all set. Just remember to make sure you dont run it all the time, bittorrent is hard on your router, not that it will mess it up but it will load up the CPU, honestly not much worse then windows built in spyware these days, and try to place the files where you actually want them when creating a download, so that you can reupload to the world. If you move the files after downloading them, then the client cant reupload to other users. You could even consider setting your max upload slots to something reasonable like 24 with a max upload rate of 200 KB/s, and let it run all the time. Be careful when hosting copyrighted content unless you have a VPN always active. You really should these days, they are cheap. I think i payed $80 for a year of proton VPN, a swiss company that isnt as beholden to the giant global intelligence network. You should also support artists so dont pirate unless you dont have a good option for getting your content. Pirated content also has a risk of containing malware and getting you sued.

As someone who lives in the U.S and is always on the road for work, i constantly have to deal with terrible and 3rd world internet infastructure. I am very familiar. Half of my state has about a 40% packet loss rate or something. Idk. Its bad. It drops out completly multiple times per day, cell towers, ISPs, credit card machines, etc. Sometimes you might just need to download from a better connection in another part of your state or something.

I dont have any recomendations for a download manager for PC, but for android ADM, advanced download manager seems to work well. On PC i usually just use torrents. Using a VPN in exclusivly TCP mode can also help, UDP is a lower latency lossy connection, TCP will resend packets until all of them get through. Using a vpn with TCP can help if you have a crappy connection. It wont help much if you are getting multi second drop outs. For that you really need bittorrent, or a download manager. If the zite doesnt work with download managers, and you cant get a torrent, you can try to find a mirror of the download somewhere else. Tey searching for the file name in quotes, like "filename.zip" and then use -website name to remove results from spammy sites. A search might be like, ( "filename.zip" -website1.com -website2.com )

My safe word is harder

Personally Im partial to Underground 2
