As a result, Paul & Mike decided it was well past time to set out the “load signal” and bring in our guerrilla communications expert, NC Scout. In this episode, we discuss how to reduce or eliminate eavesdropping by the peanut gallery by setting up a secure network so you can communicate privately with family and friends.

I know it’s been a while since there was a lessons from the farm, were you going to do one on patterns of life?
I had found several articles about it, and I’ve been sitting on them because a more experienced perspective would probably be better.
The tablet and its use is still a game changer, the biggest hurdle is getting people to stop using the phone for EVERYTHING. TBH, most people probably shouldn’t even be trusted with electronic communications. The level of undisciplined is something else, and most don’t even conceive it. I’m talking about sending Protonmail to gmail and vice versa, sharing twitter links instead of using nitter, etc. Just really ignorant, ham headed behavior.
Signal is pretty good, but it still uses a phone number, and the service they use (Twilio) to send the one time code is sent via unencrypted SMS. So that means there is an indirect record of everyone who is using Signal since SMS messages are saved by the mobile phone carrier. And well, if you got the phone number, then Pegasus and Phantom can do some nasty stuff to your phone.
Signal’s developers quite frankly have been screwing the pooch on getting usernames up. They are doing a bunch of other features like stories and other nonsense. It’s almost like they don’t want to go the username route, but won’t come out and say it.
Good show. Living on the fault is still alive.
