Cool…

This one goes out to all the small government, privacy loving, Republicans out there, supposedly hating invasive big brother tactics and representing the values of the American heartland.

Would be much appreciated if you could have a word with your people about this.

    My concern would be that the police would confiscate my phone. Not that they would necessarily be anything on it, but I don’t want them to have my nice expensive phone. They can have this crappy cheap one instead.

          Any software defined radio that can transmit on these bands and RF amplifiers.

          The ham radio community also has all the information on how to build them out of of basic components, power RF transistors being the most expensive components, but that is still dollars not tens of dollars.

          Sometimes ready made gps jammers can be obtained off the shelf from overseas markets outside of the hegemon’s reach. But active protest does require being smart about it. No point in just causing irritation with the population while leaving the enemy able to operate unencumbered. That means performing observation, OSINT, signals intelligence to understand their system and find their weaknesses.

          They will have covered most vulnerabilities from their own guerilla warfare manuals so study those and find their blind spots. Find where they have become overconfident in their hardware’s ability. Where they have started taking from granted technologies that remain only reliable in peacetime.

          Use their systems against them

      Do you have a recommendation for a good cheap android phone (didn’t worry, I’ll run a rom) that one could get to have a “clean” phone?

      I’ve been thinking about getting a phone that has none of my socials on it for when I go to Canada to get vaccines

        A pixel 6a is a good idea as the other commenter said but depending on what you’re after you could get a fairly cheap second hand Samsung for about the same price.

        That has the advantage of legitimately looking like it might actually be your phone that you’ve had for some time. In the same manner you could also get an old iPhone. It’ll have a cracked screen because every iPhone older than 6 months has a cracked screen but the whole point is to be an unattractive decoy, you want the most average boring looking phone possible so there’s nothing for them to be suspicious about.

        Pixel 6 is the minimum that can load up GrapheneOS. Those are like $130 on eBay.

        Pixel 8/9 does have some CPU features that help separate memory, which can be useful for keeping apps from creeping on memory they shouldn’t.
