Signal issues

A friend of mine uses IOS. He has a version of signal 7.72.2. The issue is that he got an alert that signal would stop working the following day. (This happened 30 April)

"This version of Signal expires tomorrow. Update to the latest version."

The thing is, he went into the apple app store, updated it to the latest version (7.72.2) and still, he seems to not be able to use the app properly.

Now he can not send texts, only receive and I simply don't understand why because he did update to the latest version within the app store.

How does one fix this? Any suggestions?

Suggestions for a replacement for PayPal

I have never liked PayPal and I am still forced to use them. Did you knew the longest password you can use us 20 characters?

(I'm located within the European Union) Anyhow, I want something more private, but still quite convenient to use and have something in between my bank details and the site I'm shopping on. Years some companies make virtual temporary cards.

I remember I tried getting privacy.com back in the day but couldn't as it was for Americans and Canadians at the time.

Suggestions? :P

What are these torrent connections?

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/39867783

When seeding a file. Let's say a movie, and all I see are a lot of connections where others try to download that movie. However, they remain at 0% and never download anything.

Almost feels like its something watching, logging connections to everyone connected to that torrent. Just a theory.. No idea. (Privacy conscious)

Maybe someone can shed some light?

SIM card VS e-SIM

I use GrapheneOS and love my privacy. However, I am not as knowledge in regards to simcards.

My family needed to get a new simcard while abroad and I was hesitant to get a new simcard and preferred to 'hitchhike' on a family members internet thearing so he could get a simcard instead of me.

It left me with the choice to:

  • Get a Sim card
  • Get an e-sim
  • Let a family member get a simcard and hitchhike from their internet. (Internet hotspot thearing)

My question: Was my worry in vain and I could actually get an e-sim/Sim or did I do it correctly, making someone else get a Sim and share the internet to me? :P

What I'm worried of, is that I'm currently outside EU and I don't want any weird hacking attempts towards me from the government. There are a lot of protests here, quite violent ones at times too, and I am aware that governments usually use stingrays or equivalent devices to identify or stalk people of interest.

Best Co-Op Games?

What are the best co-op games you enjoy? Anything from the modern games, to the old games.

For me, I'm aiming for PC games, or a game that can be easily emulated like PS2 games or GameBoy Advance.

Main focus, is that you are supposed to play 2 players or more (and are actually fun to play) with little to no internet. (Trying to prepare in advance)
