Phone Hygiene | Do you even phone, bro?
Some musings on using a cell phone, the good, the bad and the ugly. Let's use our phones in the healthiest way possible, with life changing implications and strategies to ensure a better future.
OK, let's be honest, it's really about the phone fail clips...
Not the most exciting topic, but I sprinkle in some hilarious phone fails (and some deadly ones) that you can avoid by not being a phone-tard.

ISC West 2024 | Las Vegas
GrapheneGoat's finds at the International Security Conference and Exposition in Las Vegas 2024.
We found quite a few cool toys and tech to help secure our lives, but here we point out a few cool new toys that likely flew under the radar of the industry leaders. Some network monitoring software/hardware devices, some great US made switches and even some interesting firewall/router combos.
Always plenty to see here at these shows, great place to network if nothing else, no matter how big or small you are in the industry.

Google is Evil | How they manipulate us, explained
In this video I make the argument as to why I think Google is an evil and manipulative company, and why you should eliminate, or at least reduce, the data you choose to give them. In this video we will show you exactly why Google searches (which make up 95% of internet searches) should best be avoided, especially when they are tied to our true identity.
Learn how to break away from this manipulative tech paradigm by taking one of our DHAC courses, free yourself from manipulation and become a more sovereign citizen.

Can you even ban encryption? | SimpleTextCrypt (SHORT)
Lots of talk and pending legislation that aims it's sights at banning encryption, which is absolutely not possible. Sure, you could make speaking out loud illegal, but could anyone actually stop you? Encryption is no different than your right to speak out loud.
Reclaim the Net covers this very topic in great depth, support their work if you can by giving a one time payment to receive extra content that is both timely as well as well researched, presented in a very easy to digest manner:
https://reclaimthenet.org/
In this video we quickly demonstrate just how easy it is to encrypt a message using a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) app called SimpleTextCrypt from F-Droid repo:

You need NextDNS | Here's a great way to rapidly climb the privacy ladder
In this video I show you how to use NextDNS on any device. You can run this software on any computer, mobile device, browser or even at the router level. Today we will cover installation and use on Linux and Android.
To sign up, visit: https://nextdns.io/
In the video I created an account using the following credentials, this account is free for the taking! First come, first serve.
*** Username/Email: nextdnsdemo@graphenegoat.33mail.com
*** Password: goatmaxing
Be sure to change the email and password!
For more information about this topic, especially to address some methods to avoid the VPN and NextDNS conflict, head over to an excellent resource I enjoy: https://inteltechniques.com/index.html
Purchase his PDF book called “Extreme Privacy: Mobile Devices” for what I think is the very best resource on all things GrapheneOS, Linux, VPNs and DNS filtering.
