@kubikpixel yeah, for that money they can propably bribe half the security team at #Telegram and integrate custom #Govware #Backdoors or at least get the #API keys they have for #UAE's #Telco compliance to enable automatic "#LawfulInterception"...
Anyone here had any experiences, for better or worse, with Leaptel?
I'm looking at options for an Internet connection at our Scout hall. I've only ever had great customer service experiences with AussieBB, but have also had Leaptel recommended.
@NefariousAryq can't you #port the number out?
@quasigod there's a reason #SimLock and #NetLock died in #Europe over a decade ago.
That being said even #Prepaid providers don't lock their devices anymore but instead they just sell people devices at cost with a tiny margin and make their €€€ longterm bunding a free #SIM with every purchase.
Is Canada’s federal government aware Rogers is steadily building a database of Canadian SIN, passport and birth certificate numbers?
Is the gov’t okay with this? Do we have any idea how well-protected (or not) our most valuable private data is?
Even Equifax got hacked, big time.
Talking primary ID types that can be used to create secondary ID like DL’s, etc., also handy for permanent tracking/marketing/big data/AI analysis.
#AmpereOne: Cores are the new megahertz, at least for #enterprise #servers. We've gone quickly from 32, to 64, to 80, to 128, and now to 192-cores on a single #CPU socket!
It has 192 custom #Arm cores running at 3.2 Gigahertz, and in some benchmarks, it stays in the ring with AMD's fastest EPYC chip, the 9965 "Turin Dense" (which is also the fastest and most efficient:), which also has 192 cores.
This server isn't targeted at #HPC It's targeted at #Telco Edge deployments.

Let’s give this a shot.
I’m an experienced backend software dev, with significant experience in #telco, #database, security and pharma industries. I do everything from setting up teams to writing code to architecting infrastructure, networks, cloud, setting up CI and Makefiles.
The languages I have most experience with in recent years are #rustlang, #python and #golang.
I typically work as a contractor, but I’m happy to look at other setups as well. I’m based in Denmark.
Woman with intellectual disability who Optus allegedly signed up to 24 contracts just one of hundreds in lawsuit https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/dec/17/woman-with-intellectual-disability-who-optus-allegedly-signed-up-to-24-contracts-just-one-of-hundreds-in-lawsuit
ACCC alleges telco sold hundreds of vulnerable people phones and plans they couldn’t afford, mostly from three stores. #auslaw #auspol #ACCC #telco
You want to have anonymous prepaid SIM cards because you want to prank people.
I want anonymous prepaid SIM cards because KYC is the illicit activity on something where fraud at the expense of the telco is impossible and because it's cyberfacist bs!
And in #Germany it took a Natural Disaster with a triple digit bodycount for #CellBroadcast to be reactivated per legal mandate and #2G to remain online...
The fact that Telstra was unable to say how many devices roamed their Network should be seen as criminal incompetence cuz asking something like: "How many foreign devices are #roaming in your network?" is a standard #FAQ I'd expect them to put into their public financial reports - even as a #footnote re: #revenue [i.e. total devices, total revenue, average Calls / SMS / data per roaming device] cuz that's standard #metrics every #Telco & #ISP does create anyway...
I remember seeing public IPv4 addresses from Xerox and the US DoD assigned to DTAG LTE SIMs internally in Germany (04/2020), probably because they ran out of RFC1918 space. Do you have other such examples? I would like to collect them. (boosts in the IP/ net admin bubble appreciated!)
@GossiTheDog Well, they can be forced to if not face #accountability, at least take #consequences.
#DropKiwifarms worked as a unified effort
Customers yeeting #ClownFlare did force them to yeet #KiwiFarms.
#Cloudflare has been a #RogueISP for over a decade now as they accept gross violations of their own #ToS and host #Daesh propaganda sites...
Pretty shure #Brazil will hold CloudFlare contempt and force them to either fire #Twitter as client or get #blocked as well...
CloudFlare will then yeet #Shitter because #ApartheidEmeralBoy is known to bounce checks and refusing to pay on time, so he doesn't even make this something worth risking.
Cloudflare is and will always remain a shitty hoster - period!
I still block #Cloudflare's entire #ASN as a security measure since they shield #cybercriminals.
Their entire #ValueRemoving business is just a form of #racketeering that should not only not exist, but be illegal to begin with.
Every half-decent #hoster offers #DDoS protevtion these days eithout ClownFlare.
ClownFlare doesn't even prevent DDoS attacks, but lets #ByteSpider DDoS their customers!
@Astromeg I hope @BNetzA enforces the #Effelsberg #SpectrumRegulations against #Starlink under threat of revoking their #Telco license!
Ok. This is just fun #TelCo shit.
So I called someone who does not have me in their contacts, on their company line with a PBX somewhere in there I'm guessing.
From my handset itself ( not my SIPs or Signal or whatever ) "Elf" is going to show up on Caller ID.
It's a fun party trick and I'm me.
How do you do it?
You call your provider and have them change your Caller ID. It's that simple.
I will now await the avalanche of new IDs running about telephone land while y'all have fun.
Whichever shithead at #Telegram thought it's a good idea to trick users into breaching their #Telco's #ToS by reselling #SMS quotas should be forced to stay in #jail until they can DIY an #offgrid comms device without #bribing or smuggling-in #contraband...
Seriously, all #centralized #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider messengers are garbage. but @telegram are just the worst that isn't a flatout front for cops like #WhatsApp, #WeChat and #QQ...
@forceofhabit If #KT or any other #Telco wanted money from me because their #customers use my services, I'll instantly file a police report for #blackmailing and #extortion and make shure @BNetzA get a copy of all the communications.
@protonprivacy @puppygirlhornypost @vfrmedia
pressing X for doubt Good #OpSec dictates to never ever rely on any provder to cover one's ass...
I just think that you overstate your #privacy claims like all those #VPN companies do to bamboozle #TechIlliterates and I find that insulting to me personally, because I'd rather have honest providers like cock.li and @monocles that will not lie into the face of customers.
But that's #NotLegalAdvice...
I just think that being honest like @tomscott is way better long-term and more beneficial to one's personal #reputation, but that's just me as a #consumer and #TechLiterate.
It's just that previous blunders left a sour taste as like a #postal service or #telco what people communicate and with whom is none of your business unless you're forced to do so for "legitimate reasons" like #ITsec or to comply with duely submitted court orders...
20 years ago, Austria introduced free access to E-Government websites from phone booths:

AT&T has begun notifying state authorities and regulators after millions of customer records posted online last month were found to be authentic.
Reports @TechCrunch: "In a legally required filing with Maine’s attorney general’s office, the U.S. telco giant said it sent out letters notifying more than 51 million people that their personal information was compromised in the data breach."
