Other than crypto or cash based prepaid debit cards. There is no other service that will allow you to do financial transactions without doing basic KYC and keeping a record of your transactions required by law in almost all countries. They may claim it’s for legal reasons only and they don’t sell it but can you trust them? And how much do you trust your government to respect your privacy and not subpoena those transactions because they deem them to be unlawful.

Aah well I can buy asbestos legally in my country then. Let’s respawn Kent Cigarettes then.
I mean if you get cancer from asbestos it’s not tobacco’s fault.
2TiB ram is good enough if you are running ZFS but just make sure it has ECC.

Anna@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How do you justify buying something you want but don’t need?4·21 days agoIf I want something then I generally categories it in 1 of 3 ways. it is must needed, it will significantly improve quality of life, or it is just for fun.
If it is must then no choice buy or lease.
If it will improve quality of life then how much does it cost. there is no real formula but if it is less than my 1 day’s income then I’ll mostly buy it. Eg. Flying instead of taking 17-20hr train ride.
If it is just for fun then it has to be significantly cheaper than my 1 day’s income plus it should bring some enjoyment. Eg. going on fun trips, etc.
Edit - I’m currently mostly living on paycheck to paycheck + 3 months reserve in case of emergency. But if you are making much more and are able to save then of course go ahead and buy it.
Why would your download fail if a phone call comes in. Genuinely curious.I mean I know you guys were using voodo magic back in the day to get internet access. But still wouldn’t it just get paused and resume once call was over?
In this world anything can have value as long as there are other stupid ppl who’d believe you. Any form of money is just a piece of paper. Gold, silver and all those are just rocks. Even food once was cherished as the ultimate wealth but now we waste food by Metric F*ck tonnes.
No one on this earth or beyond can predict what will be the value of anything. If someone says this is going to make you a millions they are either trying to sell you their course/books/etc. Or they think you are the next idiot to whom they can sell garbage.
Neither did I. Wow dead before arrival.
Where’s ladybird
Edit - I didn’t know about the Transphobia going on there. that is unjustifiable.
Add a GSM module And next time you see an open Ethernet port anywhere just stick in there and leave…\s

Anna@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•How do you deal with renewing ID/official documentation?4·2 months agoThere are countries where a government ID is needed from opening a bank account to buying even prepaid Sim cards to LPG, electricity connection and everything in between and this ID requires you to give your all 10 fingerprints, iris scan and photo from all 3 angles. And to top it all off this data is leaked multiple times.
OK First thing GOS team is currently assuming that Pixel 10+ won’t meet their requirements. But for older Pixels it’s tough. Google just stopped sharing vendor blob, device tree, and instead of openly developing AOSP now it is fully behind close doors only releasing source later with full update. But I have hope. I’ve been daily driving custom ROMs for 10+ years and before I could afford Pixel I had cheap phones which also didn’t share any of these things but custom ROMs were very much thriving and they will always. Yes there may be a little more delay for new devices. All the new features may take longer but GOS already has a lot of security and privacy stuff figured out.
I think we should all support however we can to not just GOS but also other Custom ROMs. Because there will always be those who’ll stop society from progressing and all we can do is fight back with donations, our time, and resources.
If you are going to spend it on mundane and legal stuff and assuming you live in mostly free country use a trustworthy exchange even if it requires KYC and spend it normally.
Keep in mind once you buy monero even from a KYC exchange they can’t track it afterwards. And this will be the safest option no real risk of getting scammed or stabbed.
If you are thinking about grey area then keep in mind that the moment something touches real world no matter whether you were using Tor, I2P or something else. It can be traced back to you. And if you are a worthwhile target LEA will spend resources to track you down.
There are ways to avoid that like using local monero and all but keep in mind those also involve different set of risks.
