@mauve #Bluetooth would make most sense, as even if you were to transfer like vCard files over original Bluetooth speeds (732,2 kbit/s) that would be convenient and fast enough.

• Problem may arise supporting #iOS as that only supports sending pictures, so you gotta have to do like some "Airgapped Transfer Protocol" thingy and like #MattKC shove it into a PNG of a QR-Code…
• As for the chat itself, you could use #WebRTC infrastructure like #WebCall or just mandate people to have like an #XMPP+#OMEMO account somewhere…

@puniko after all, @MattKC / #MattKC got #DDoS'd by #ByteDance (the creators of #TikTok) despite paying #ClownFlare protection money.

#CloudFlare #Scrapers #AI #bots

@jackyan Speaking of annoyances: #ClownFlare can't even properly protect against #DDoS even when it's blatant per #UserAgent (#ByteSpider) as had happened to #MattKC...

• I just didn't have the time and resources to add said scrapers to the scraper blocklist...

#CloudFlare

@RinaVolpina Also #MattKC quickly found out that #Japan isn't a place for #PCgaming unless one wants to out themselves as into some #NSFW #games...

• Because the #PC was the only platform for everything "too spicy" on consoles...

And yes there's some shite I won't even name cuz it's crossing off too many felonies not worth being accused of...

@RinaVolpina I know, #MattKC got lucky on his trip to #Japan...

• Where he picked up a "junk" #Wii...

@colinstu I still like the #Pizzabox-Style #PCcase design.

• Makes them look nice, clean, sleek and espechally in the #CRT age saves space...

• Even today they are good, regardless if @fuchsiii or #MattKC: They are just nifty...

Now if you don't trust @monocles nor @protonprivacy (which IMHO is fair and correct!) and you can't use @thunderbird or something because you have no private computer with internet access [i.e. only a work-issued laptop you can't use for anything non-work - related] and you can't just boot into @tails_live / @tails / #Tails or a portable #Linux #Desktop distro at all then the real "#GalaxyBrainChair" - level "#BigThink" you can do is go the "#OfflinePGP" route and thus encrypt & decrypt your messages on a different device entirely.

• The main problem may be that you'd then have to get that to the machine from which you can send it, which as we all know from the #MattKC video means you gotta "keep it brief" [as in 2.944 bytes short] if you want to do the webcam & screen method of #airgapping...
  

I just didn't have time to get the "Airgapped Transfer Protocol" done, but setting the *"Barcode Scanner" App into bulk mode makes it less tedious to import stuff to an Android device...

• Again: The nice part with #OpenPGP & #PGP/MIME is that you don't have to trust anyone but yourself and maybe your communication partners' ability to make proper #Keys and get the #Pubkey to you...

@khobochka guess why I maintain a #Scraper #blocklist?

• In fact I know multiple people and organizations that decide to basically redirect #ValueRemoving #Scrapers like #GPTbot, #ByteSpider (which literally #DDoS'd #MattKC because #ClownFlare are a criminally incompetent #RogueISP!) to #Hetzner's 10GB Speedtest file which can be found at http://hil-speed.hetzner.com/10GB.bin as an extra middlefinger!

#Cloudflare #hetznered #ByteDance #ChatGPT

@fuchsiii @lynn @LunaDragofelis also in case anyone needs to be convinced how much of a useless value-remover ClownFlare / CloudFlare are in "preventing DDoS attacks":

@MattKC had been DDoS'd by ByteDance's Crawler into downtime!
