2021-04-21 at 7:55 AM UTC in How to get an anonymous mobile phone number in AustraliaJust sharing this because I thought it was interesting - I've been under the impression it's impossible to set up a burner phone number without identification but it turns out you can.
1. Get some cash. Up to you to do that anonymously.
2. Go to Coles and buy a Vanilla Visa (I'd suggest at least $50 so you can recharge the SIM several times) and a $2 Lebara SIM, paying in cash. If you're feeling paranoid about CCTV cameras, congratulations: it's still COVID season, you can wear a mask.
3. Set up a throwaway email address, e.g. ProtonMail, that you can use when activating.
4. Go to the Lebara activation page. They don't block TOR, so ideally you should use that to avoid creating obvious links between you and the account. Sign up using a fake name, fake address and your throwaway email - avoid stupid or creative names, just make up something boring.
5. When asked to verify your identity, there should be an option to verify via credit card. Use your Vanilla Visa and the fake name you've picked.
6. Select a plan. Their cheapest is $14.90 a month, and will auto-recharge until your card runs out of credit. You can always add a new prepaid visa if you need.
7. Remember, your location is relatively traceable via cell towers, so remove the SIM (or deactivate it if you trust your phone) when you're not using it.
8. Don't use this number to do anything illegal, that would be morally wrong. -

2021-04-26 at 2:59 AM UTC in Recommendations for Audio & GPS Monitors (Separate devices)Depending on your money, free time and technical capability you can pretty easily build this out of a raspberry pi (even an RPi zero, honestly). You can get GPS, cellular modem and mic modules, wire them in, and if you're not comfortable writing your own scripts to relay data I'm sure there's some existing software that could be cobbled together.
If your target doesn't use iOS devices, those new airtags are a cheap way of doing location tracking, should get reasonable accuracy but there are obviously pitfalls relying on the tags pinging nearby iOS devices to make it work.
Pperhaps the easiest solution of all would be a burner Android device that you can set up some kind of remote access to, in order to remotely grab audio recordings and such. Battery life might be an issue though.
Short of all that though, maybe just leave your target alone and move on with your life, if that's an option. -
2021-04-17 at 11:59 AM UTC in Are Employers Requiring Proof Of Vaccinations Before Returning To The Office?
Originally posted by aldra the question in this case is with the 'vaccines' themselves because outside of the ones used exclusively inside China, none of them are 'vaccines' in the traditional sense. the two main types available are essentially experimental gene therapy with no long-term or large-scale testing, have exaggerated their effectiveness and are already reporting that the virus has mutated strains that they no longer cover… which is the reason we never bothered trying to make one for the common cold (another coronavirus).
I don't disagree that a lot of these were rushed, or that mortality rates are low. I'm more just commenting on the broader idea that's got a lot of mindshare at the moment, that people broadly pushing for vaccines have some kind of secret agenda. The mortality rates of COVID are super low; the mortality rates of the vaccines are an order of magnitude lower even accounting for vaccination vs infection rates. Whatever you think of the broader picture, the math still favours some kind of broad vaccination programme
it begs the question as to why there's such a push for universal vaccination against a virus with such a low mortality rate.
Unrelated: I hate this 10 posts per day shit for first 30 posts. I guess it's to stop idiot new folks like me taking up too much dead air
