"Support #ABCMoscow !
Right now, we cannot #help those under #threat

This #year, ABC-Moscow carried out #three successful #evacuations of #anarchists facing #criminal charges in #Russia. #Security #forces wanted to send these #activists to pre-trial #detention #centers, but instead they remain #free — though forced into #exile.
Every #evacuation is difficult and expensive. It involves complex #logistics: crossing #borders, new #phones and #SIM #cards, #transport, #housing, #visa issues, and #money for the first #weeks. In just the past few #months, this has cost about 3,000 euros. And more help is needed — we continue to receive requests from #people under threat of #prosecution.

Here is the story of one of the #evacuated #comrades:
“I was engaged in #activist #work, and because of this, #FSB #officers came to search my #home. They took me to the #police #station and, after #interrogations, placed me [informally] under house #arrest — without providing any official documents. On my #phone, they found correspondence with a #clandestine #organization, and I was accused of ‘training for #terrorist #activity.’
To avoid #imprisonment, they offered me #cooperation. I pretended to agree but did not betray anyone, while secretly preparing to flee the country.

I contacted ABC, and they instructed me on how to safely leave Russia. The escape was successful, but in the first country I reached there was still a risk of arrest at Russia’s request. ABC paid for my flight to a safer country, helped me find temporary housing, provided money, and are now assisting me in obtaining a humanitarian visa in an EU country.”

At the moment, we have no money left for evacuations. Our fund is completely depleted, and we have even accumulated a debt of more than 2,000 euros to our supporters. As a result, we cannot help new comrades who are reaching out for support. To continue evacuating people, we urgently need financial assistance.

Debacle

#Frage #Mobilfunk #FediHilfe #lazyVerse

#Drillisch hat leider einseitig mein #SIM gekündigt. Verständlich, denn es war eines ohne #Grundgebühr. Ich habe seit Jahren fast nichts dafür gezahlt, weil ich hauptsächlich #SMS empfangen, aber selten gesendet habe.

Jetzt brauche ich eilig ein neues SIM, mit möglichst niedriger Monatsgebühr. Hauptsächlich um SMS zu empfangen (1..20 pro Monat), optional auch SMS senden. Keine Calls, keine Daten.

Ist für #sms4you #XMPP #gateway 🙂

Danke für Eure #Hilfe!

Trying to replace the outdated #nokia31 (no 4G VoLTE support) by the #pinephone ends badly after days and hours of trials☹️ .
#postmarketos (v25.06) as well as #mobian (03-Aug-2025) - both #phosh editions - fail miserably doing phone calls. The person being called is not able to hear anything most of the time. If your are lucky, it works just once after a reboot or if you are called. The #mobian edition is not even able to connect to my local #nextcloud instance for contacts. The #ubuntutouch edition does not support a PIN authentication for the #sim card so no further tests done.
Solution: Buy an el-cheapo Android phone to just do phone calls and synchronize the contacts wth the local nextcloud.😮
I don't want to spend hundreds of bucks just for phone calls.

@adisonverlice @torproject OFC public WiFi also has it's drawbacks.

Either way, finding an #anonymous #FreePublicWiFi even in #Germany is easier and faster than getting #roaming #SIM anonymously...

Quote by MJ:
"Jul 16, 2025
Sim Kern never set out to become a face of anti-Zionist Judaism—the English teacher turned science fiction author and “BookTok”-er was just in the right place at the right time.
Facing, as the October 7 attacks unfolded, a social media feed they described as embodying “two contradictory realities” about Palestine, they started posting about it.
“If you didn’t give a fuck about what’s happening in Palestine until two days ago,” Kern said in their most viral video, “that is because you see Israelis as people, and you do not see Palestinians as people.”
Over the past year and a half, their social media presence has turned into an archive of video shorts breaking down history and misinformation, and covering genocide in Gaza, where Israel’s defense minister recently announced plans to move the remaining population into a closed camp built on the ruins of the city of Rafah. (The United Nations, Amnesty International, and leading Holocaust and genocide scholars have deemed Israel’s war in Gaza genocidal, charges also brought against the country’s government in an ongoing case before the International Court of Justice.)
The book, which ties scholarship with memoir in Kern’s distinctive TikTok voice, breaks down nine key talking points used to defend or obscure the Israeli government’s actions and how to respond.
“Perhaps the most fundamental and vital labor, of all liberatory organizing,” Kern writes, “is the act of explaining hard truths. In your own words. To your own people. As clearly and compellingly as possible. Over and over and over and over.”

@stman @Sempf @LaF0rge yes.

Because physical SIMs, like any "cryptographic chipcard" (i.e. @nitrokey ) did all that fancy public/private crypto on silicon and unless that was compromizeable (which AFAICT always necessistated physical access to the #SIM, espechally in pre-#OMAPI devices) the SIM wasn't 'cloneable' and the weakest link always had been the #MNO /.#MVNO issueing (may it be through #SocialHacking employees into #SimSwapping or LEAs showng up with a warrant and demanding "#LawfulInterception"):

Add to that the regression in flexibility:

Unlike a #SimCard which was designed as a vendor-independent, #MultiVendor, #MultiProvider, device agnostic unit to facilitate the the #authentification and #encryption in #GSM (and successor standards), #eSIMs act to restrict #DeviceFreedom and #ConsumerChoice, which with shit like #KYC per #IMEI (i.e. #Turkey demands it after 90 days of roaming per year) und #lMEI-based #Allowlisting (see #Australia's shitty #VoLTE + #2G & #3G shutdown!) are just acts to clamp down on #privacy and #security.

  • And with #EID being unique per #eSIM (like the #IMEI on top!) there's nothing stopping #cyberfacist regimes like "P.R." #China, #Russia, #Iran, ... from banning "#eSIMcards" (#eSIM in SIM card form factor) or entire device prefixes (i.e. all phones that are supported by @GrapheneOS ), as M(V)NOs see the EID used to deploy/activate a profile (obviously they don't want people to activate eSIMs more than once, unless explicitly allowed otherwise.

"[…] [Technologies] must always be evaluated for their ability to oppress. […]

  • Dan Olson

And now you know why I consider a #smartphone with eSIM instead of two SIM slots not as a real #DualSIM device because it restricts my ability to freely move devices.

  • And whilst German Courts reaffirmed §77 TKG (Telco Law)'s mandate to letting people choose their devices freely, (by declarong #fees for reissue of eSIMs illegal) that is only enforceable towards M(V)NOs who are in #Germany, so 'good luck' trying to enforce that against some overseas roaming provider.

Thus #Impersonation attacks in GSM-based networks are easier than ever before which in the age of more skilled than ever #Cybercriminals and #Cyberterrorists (i.e. #NSA & #Roskomnadnozr) puts espechally the average #TechIlliterate User at risk.

  • I mean, anyone else remember the #Kiddies that fucked around with #CIA director #Brennan? Those were just using their "weapons-grade #boredom", not being effective, for-profit cyber criminals!

And then think about those who don't have privilegued access to protection by their government, but rather "privilegued access" to prosecution by the state because their very existance is criminalized...

The only advantage eSIMs broight in contrast is 'logistical' convenience because it's mostly a #QRcode and that's just a way to avoid typos on a cryptic #LocalProfileAgent link.

@LaF0rge yeah, that I did figure out with the whole #GSMA signing chain.

  • The few "vendor independent" options I've seen were mere eSIM management tools at the LPA / LPAC level and subsequent #Apps from companies that sell #eSIMcards (aka. #eSIM in Triple-#SIM form factor) like #5ber, #EIOTCLUB, #9e and others...

These do in fact work and I guess having something like lpa-gtk that can be remotely told to deploy/switch eSIMs is the closest to what I'm looking for that will be possible in the walled maze that GSMA forces everyone to walk through as they don't allow people to roll their own CI/CA and exercise control.

  • Granted as you hinted in your talk the reliance on having public internet access kinda defeats the purpose of a WWAN connectivity like 5G/4G/3G/2G so at best it allows for dynamically (with interruption) switch between eSIMs based off the current traffic pattern (i.e. from a narrowband flatrate or no base rate pay-as-you-go to a broadband flatrate or cheaper per-traffic plan).

Fortunately I don't even need like legacy services like Voice/SMS and a phone number so it's easy to obtain eSIMs for that which neither expire nor incure standby fees.
