What Are You Reading?

Mobile Phone Security for Activists and Agitators by Håkan Geijer

I came across Håkan on my local anarchist Mastodon instance. He's about to lay out the French translation of another of their pamphlets and I was given a link to his site to check originals. I'm a techy who often thinks about mobile phone security so I thought I'd read what's in there. I'm halfway through so far. The advice is really good. I knew about 80% of the stuff but there are subtle details provided that I found quite observant, and other things that I just didn't know about, so it's solid and well-documented. I think the second half is more dedicated to strategies rather than facts about mobile tech, so we'll see how that turns out.


What Are You Eating?

Funny you should ask! I hadn't really gelled with my most recent team at work and due to remote stuff, I didn't get a going-away lunch, so F and I simply went out to eat at Revelstoke Café, a new to Toronto vegan pub that has its homebase in Peterborough. We had some tasty mushroom barbecue wings, a decent if pricey poutine, and a bland though nutritious "après-ski burrito" with really good taters (the name combination should have been a warning). At Carlton & Ontario, east of Sherbourne. I'd go again. No patio.

My phone security is so bad. I'm not doing any crimes these days but I feel like I should be doing a better job to support the rest of the team.

ooh going to check this out, thanks. I do some stuff but it's always like, how much annoyance do you want to deal w/ for security?

What I like about it is that it gives you information about how to think about various threat models so one can focus on what's most important to think about their own situation/needs.
