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!

  1. 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 -

  3. 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.
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  5. 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
  6. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!

  8. 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 ?

  11. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  12. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  13. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  14. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  16. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
  17. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Wow, for real ? You renewed your DL and without you knowing or having to present documents in person, they did it online? It has the star on top right and says "Rea: ID" Mine says ' NOT A Real ID" . I never knew what a Real ID was and never bothered to ask - I think I somehow was under the impression that it was for either military / gov't workers who had to travel over seas. WRONG lol.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: I already have one and didn't even realize it. I renewed my ID online about 6 months ago and I just looked at it today and it is a Real ID.
  19. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 mine was duped , too. Not sure why or how my msg. duped. IMO that guy if serious and smart wouldn’t advertise with you
  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I wish I had it when I flew to Vegas in 2022. The TSA line for Real ID passengers was short. Now it’s probably going to be crazy .
