not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.
Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.
I used to help out in r/Botdefense
The amount of them was ridiculous and only because the makers made another bot to report them to us (with stats), could we even keep up. That was before greedy piggy spez shut down API access and now? Ewww
It does when you’re sharing nationally classified information with what is a third party, not sanctioned by the administration itself?
The headquarters are irrelevant.
Is it?
Is that why people trying to protect their privacy use VPN’s/DNS resolvers outside of the US jurisdiction such as Mullvad/Quad9 etc?
And as stated by someone else if you’re using a personal device with a phone number to share classified information outside of a SCIF, you’ve got to ask yourself if there’s a modicum of “sensibility” in the administration here.
It’s like someone else said - I went back and dug a little on old.reddit (RIP r/America) and there’s for some reason its “not being shared” and actually, neutered?
Maybe I’m just a sucker for popcorn but it smells like it shit, it usually is 💩
It is absolutely insane, considering they have SCIF devices / rooms but also the option of “not using off the shelf” shit like Signal and using a phone number. But here they are.
Hell, they could even use something like Briar / Matrix / whatever that is decentralised/does not require a phone number unlike Signal but instead they sent emotes, and classified information detrimental to US citizens over a centralised (third party) platform. Literally, insane.
Are we missing an /s here? Signal is headquartered in the US, and here’s me pondering if they were actually using Telegram instead. Which would’ve been pretty apt.
I think at this point I’d be better off trying to use WeChat…

For a bit of clarity some are not seeing. Google, sanctioned too. Crazy times.
To be fair, it’s running at the top of BBC news here in the UK this morning which is kinda weird. They usually dunk stuff like this unless they too have some angle on it.
Pray tell, how do you “pirate” a SSO service as you alluded to above?
No one asked for alternatives. We’re more interested in how you’re gonna “pirate” these things. Cheers!
Exactly, you tell me since I’m just giving you examples of US hosted services as you asked for.
Personally you could self host all three, but it would be a fairly expensive endeavour and you’d be operating on a brand new platform with no users.
GitHub? Internet Archive? Wikipedia?
Ya know reading my comment again, something else I might advise is getting to know Docker if you haven’t already.
However I find it shrewd to run anything networking related such as Pihole / TS / Zerotier / Adguard whatever is to run them raw dawg instead of in docker containers. Many recommended but I can’t.
I’ve totally and others have too fugged up their network and not just with them in a docker containers. It’s really sometimes very very opaque as to why things don’t work.

Immich and stuff like that is great in docker containers, but networking? No thank u!
Yup!
Things you should be aware of thou are a Rpi3 and below only have a 100Mbps ethernet port, whereas a Pi4 and above have gigabit ports so if you’re gonna be doing anything network related it might be better for you. A Pi5 again has one but then isn’t as powerful GPU wise (sounds weird I know) and no good for transcoding things unlike the Pi4.
And saying that, I have two dinky Pi Zero’s with DVB HAT’s on them to give me my own HD Homerun TV tuners that I can access anywhere via Tailscale. They don’t require much processing power and only operate over WiFi 2.4GhZ, but they work good.
If you want something to play with self hosting? Immich is a good start as the docs are as good as Tailscale’s. A Pihole is often a good start to understanding your network better and allows installation via a simple curl command. Have fun!
That’d be dependent on your works IT policy and I can hear the resounding NO from my IT dept here at home :/
However if they’re fairly lax, you could install it on anything from a Pi to a spare laptop.
Besides like I say it’s now saving me money, I’ve also got the bonus of having off site backup storage at a family member’s now since I gave them an old Pi4 of mine, setup the arrrr stack/Jellyfin/Jellyseerr etc and they love me so much now because of that, I don’t think they’d even notice they’re secretly part of my 3.2.1 backup solution (since they also get my remote IT support + their adblocker on their phone via Tailscale anywhere) ;)
Nah they’re connecting to their home network via a Tailscale exit node which basically runs all your requests traffic through your device/router at home/ external server, P2P encrypted.
And if it’s got an adblocker on that network you soon notice if it’s not connected since all the ads come flooding in.
I too third Tailscale, since it is literally now saving me money because work has give us pretty darn fast WiFi albeit with a nanny filter which the above exit node breaks you out of so I now don’t pay for as much data on my cellular plan.
They’re probably skint and need a loan.
Problem is, they created it? Oops
tldr: people using Windows can get duped into running what is basically a Powershell / Shortcut to pwn themselves
I cock blocked them with Qbit even though I don’t use Windows
Were they / are they on the 3 network?
If so, that’s why because 3 has never had a 2G network at all ;)
Kinda reminded me of this post

Albeit the kerning on those virtual keys are making me all itchy. Horrible horrible implementation from Google yet again when they could’ve done it right.
I don’t think I’d feel “attacked” but more impressed that I came to light if they sent me them very much like a naughty “copyright warning” and would send it back with a brick in it.
Cheers!
Mine’s having the lazy arse syndrome of using it to sign in to Tailscale and having other friends/family using their SSO from the Big G to simplify them signing into my Tailnet.
Guilty as charged?
