New here so I know I won't get much help and going thru all the posts and deciphering all the codes is more time then I have.  So i decided to just go with the Starlite.  My question is... Is anyone having trouble with non encrypted e-mails to them?

 
@mcsemiked 

You may be new here, and I'm not a big poster myself; but have to say any vendors (or buyers, come to that) still using Gmail, whose bots now reads each email content is asking for trouble at some point.

Yahoo etc are not much better and will no doubt follow Gmail lead in due course, it's astonishing the lengths we go to here to write 'diplomatically' here; only to throw all that diplomacy down the drain by typing it out on free, but highly unsecured email services.

There is no shortage of free encrypted e-mail services if one searches a little, so without being disrespectful to anyone, I think it's time we all started using them for the overall good and safety of us all.

 
Is Firefox any better than Google or is there something better? Not very wise with this stuff. I've heard of Opera. But am sure there's more out there.

I use Proton mail on my iPhone....

 
Ok I will get rid of Firefox and install Opera. Thanks for letting me know...

 
Hey guys - Original member of DB that just found we are back up - I tried to message starlite as they carry what I'm looking for (using protonmail) and haven't received a response.. Does anyone know their average turn around time? I used the 1st email they had listed on their site.. should I also send another one to their secondary? 

TIA

Also on Opera, the best feature is the free VPN.  Just click on incognito browsing (won't save history) and than go to VPN and it will bounce your signal through Russia or elsewhere so that your IP cannot be tracked.  As far as I know Opera is the only browser offering it for free.

I use Firefox and have to pay for my VPN... I'm pretty sure you're right.

 
Ok so I installed Opera and used duck duck go and I couldn't get into this site. Kept saying error I don't have permission to go here. Now I uninstalled Opera and put back Firefox and get in under the privacy tab with no problems. Did I do something wrong? I really would like to have the Opera as it also has a encrypted wallet.

While on Opera go to DBG then save DBG as a favorite on speed dial, login, when it asks to save password click save and you should be all set.  I should mention, if you are going to use DDgo, just copy & paste the DBG address and see how it works for ya then.

Always use a paid for vpn. What Opera offers is a "browser based" vpn and it's not secure by any means. If you go to qualy's browser check while connected you will see what i mean.

+1 one on using VPN. For many reasons. They are cheap and can be some protection for users. not foolproof but make it harder to track you at least.

You can also set up your own VPN on an anonymous VPS that you rent from any number of VPS providers. Some take bitcoin and ask no names.  OpenVPN is the package you'd install on a Linux VPS. It sounds complicated but is really fast, I'm no programmer and I did it in 15-20 minutes. It won't necessarily outperform a commercial VPN but it's all yours, no risk of the VPN host snooping, no "lifetime" deals for a VPN provider that is probably going to fail soon . When I use mine I appear french, and get french language sites. :)   I'll move it to an english speaking country at some point.

I pay $4 per month. So price is comparable. Can be used by mobile and home clients just like the commercial providers.

 
Anyone familiar with hotspot VPN.  Can't seem to connect to SL and another site once I've fired it up?

 
I don't know if anyone still needs help with this, but there are some great encrypted email sites I know of that are mostly free! if there's a way to direct message me do it and I will fill y'all in!

  7. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  8. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  10. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  11. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  13. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  15. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

  18. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
