Buy four clamps and clamp yourself. Then just come back whenever and take them off and drive away

Linux and buy tech second hand only when the wheels fall off. I don’t buy branded clothes. Sail the seas. I boycott a lot of places/brands too.

You say you were not using a vpn. Then the site has your ip and probably has meta/google ads or other shit running on it and links the product with your ip.

This data is added to some data broker/ ad network and you see an ad when you visit a site using this network as you have “signalled” interest in the product by viewing the product page the first time.

This is when you stop owning a phone or just leave it in a drawer powered off until you need a 2fa key or something.

I dont see fdroid blocking the app. I think signal is in the guardian project repos. Anyway a repo can just be hosted in switzerland or on tor or something. I would be more worried about govenments blocking access to the signal servers.

If you want a quick and easy way to share the odd file you could set up a syncthing shared folder and COPY things in to it that you want to share. When the other side MOVES them out of the shared folder they will be removed from the shared folder on your side.

The advantage of this is security. No access is given to your system. If your friends box is compromised you dont have an nfs mount or ssh key on their machine. The worst that can be done to you is copies in the shared folder are removed or malicious files are placed in the shared folder but they wont be able to execute.

You also dont need to open any ports for syncthing , it will use relays if it cant make a direct connection.

It is available in fdroid
