My philosophy is to just use home country as much as possible to get the fastest speeds... Only time I go to other countries is to get streaming content that is only available in respective country

Most people's hands probably are only nearly shit-free 🤢

I think this is an issue for any messenger, not just those tied to the beeper service. E2E encryption only covers transmittal of the message, and you can't control what the recipient does once they get it... What if the recipient has no passcodes on their phone, no disappearing messages, and the phone gets stolen? Whoever stole the phone now has access to all of your messages even when using a fully E2E encrypted messenger like signal.

If you're using any messenger for highly sensitive conversations you need to have trust in the recipient. Just have a conversation that they're either not using a service like this, or like others said are choosing to self host it in a safe manner.

While this is probably the only real solution for complete peace of mind, you may be able to find and disconnect the fuse to the telemetry system as an easier (and cheaper) fix - check out the fuse box diagram in your owner's manual!

Seems like this is recommending the use of 8 character passwords... Even with upper/lower case letters, numbers, and special characters can't an 8 character password technically still be brute forced in like 10 minutes?

+1 for cold brew

Be careful depending on your grinder setup though... I've had my encore get completely clogged (requiring disassembly to clean) several times with dark, oily beans

While beeper service itself is extremely convenient, I personally would never use it for anything sensitive. Do note though that all of their connections to services are open source and relatively easy to set up (with the exception of imessage) on your own matrix homeserver to improve privacy

I guess what I'm saying is that if the recipient chooses to use Beeper, the chain ends there though... Signal did its job and delivered an encrypted message, and you can't control that the recipient gave decryption keys to Beeper.

Both Signal and Beeper aren't doing anything inherently wrong, but if you don't trust messages passing through beeper servers you need to have that conversation with the recipient.

What additional software did you end up installing? Something like kodi? Anything for live TV/OTA?

And how easy is your setup to control with a TV remote form factor?

Fair enough, all good points! Assuming you are using the 8 character columns as unique passwords, I guess this also promotes the use of different passwords for different accounts which is also a good practice!

Would be pretty cool if they pick up some MLB/NHL teams whose rights may be up for grabs in the near term with Diamond sports bankruptcy!

Isn't this largely mitigated by running your own homeserver?

They do, but I believe it is subject to local team blackouts (exclusive to Diamond sports cable channel)... Would be nice if they were somehow able to provide streaming of local teams!
