Sounds great but I’ll need more detail before I sign up. Afterall, this could be a honeypot to gather the details of those opposed to these Internet curbing measures.

That’s fine. We just treat it as a fork from this point onwards.

I failed the check first time too. I persevered with their, admittedly terrible (at the time), customer service. I had to resort to using X to grab their attention.

Now that they’re part of Lloyds I would hope the support to get better but, luckily, I’ve not had to deal with them recently.

I also bank with Monzo, if that’s worth adding.

I’ve elaborated in the past.

I’m running GrapheneOS and make NFC payments using the Curve app. Plenty of European banks offer native NFC payments.

NFC payments are possible.

Blanket statements like this are harmful to GrapheneOS adoption.

Not exactly true.

I run GrapheneOS and can use NFC payments. You just need the right app and provider.

In the UK there’s Curve and in Europe there are a number of banks that have apps that can provide the requisite functionality.

Yep. I have two at the same time.

Port numbers??

Have you tried assigning names to services and routing them through a reverse proxy that maps the name to ports?

e.g. sonarr.local.lan > nginx > server.local.lan:8080

If you use an app like RethinkDNS, it will allow you to run multiple, simultaneous VPN connections and then choose how you want to route your traffic.

I have the same situation as you. I run two VPN connections. One to home and one to a VPS. I route all traffic to 10/8 to the home VPN, certain apps to my VPS VPN and then the rest of the traffic via the local connection.

RethinkDNS also does local DNS filtering and allows you to specify which DNS service to use. I run my own DoT service that backs off to the PiHole at home.

You need to add backslashes to your underscores since Markdown is turning them into italics.

I’ve not bridged Google Chat, no. Sorry.

Element X.

I have a Matrix installation with bridges to WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram and Signal. All the conversations are done in a single app, my Matrix client.

It’s the same microphone, no?

Privacy, yes.

Anonymity, no.

Haha. I’ve eaten cabbage smarter than our “leaders”.
