Cell-site simulators (CSS, also known as Stingrays or IMSI catchers) are devices that masquerade as legitimate cell-phone towers, tricking phones within a certain radius into connecting to the device rather than a tower. Our new tool, Rayhunter, can help you find them.

Meet Rayhunter: A New Open Source Tool from EFF to Detect Cellular Spying

My "Ignore All Previous Instructions" t-shirt from @molly0xfff's store has arrived and it's everything I hoped for. I get to help support her reporting on crypto BS and have a picture of a snarling raccoon on my chest.

What registrar do y'all like? What email provider? I need to host email for about 3 people across about 3 domains. I was previously on Gandi but ever since they got bought they have become worse and worse. I'm ready to move. Looking at porkbun or possibly cloudflare for registration and somewhere else for email. Thoughts?
