Every time I log into Fedi, I see another post with a guide called something like "Activist's Guide to Smartphones" or "Phone Security Guide for Protesters," and every single one of these assumes that the threat model is the kind of police force that exists under liberal democracy where legal protections will afford significant protections. The world is changing, and these guides not only fail to address the threat of an actively hostile fascistic anti-democratic occupying force (I refer here to the police), but such guides generally are limited to "what" and "how" but not miss the more critical "why."

If you believe that you are facing fascism (or even something close to it), can I please please please convince you to read something written by anarchists who have faced serious repression and are trying to convey just how much phones can lead to the imprisonment of you and your friends for even things that are allegedly "legal."

Hello world! This status has been posted from a phone booth, using Bell103 compatible softmodem, a lot of magic, and some wishful thinking.

hope this works

happy to see that it did work! here's a video of it in action: https://f.sakamoto.pl/PO_bell103.webm

this will *also* get a blogpost sometime in the near future. I'm still considering trying TCP/IP, but it would be ungodly slow at 300baud :p

(also, yes, I have revoked the token visible in the video)

@fatedfox So my brain took this as me having to kneel down for the scritches, because big werewolf gal, and HECK that's been a big affirming thought ^^;

PSA: you can just run the command "cal" in your terminal to get a properly formatted calendar. or "cal -y" for the entire year.

i recently found out that surprisingly few modern linux users seem to be aware of this, and instead keep digging around for a graphical calendar. it's an old unix command so it's typically available on even the most lightweight of systems (like alpine)
