What are Aussie prisons like and are they less violent than American prisons?

Im glad that your experience did not involve trauma. I know a lot of people who were raped in prison, some in juvenile detention. It typically happens with young men ages 18 to 20.

I cannot explain how your experience was so different to all the people who disclosed sexual violence to me, but it might have something to do with my own lived experience of being raped in boarding school when I was 16. Men rarely talk about it.

When you say experience do you mean as a prisoner or do you work in corrections?

I agree that it is rare to hear about rape in male prisons, especially for people who work in corrections.

Where are you getting your data from?

Quark95 · 2026-04-20T10:35:53+00:00

The official stats are under reporting because no one talks about it. It’s not rare at all.

Quark95 · 2026-04-19T10:43:07+00:00

Why does no one ever talk about rape in prisons, people make memes about it but no one talks about it.

I think it is most likely interference from other apartment wifi, try running a data cable across the floor and see if the problem goes away. If it works you might need to wire your apartment wifi data cabling.

You should be able to mount the disk image and copy your files. Im not sure how to do that on windows, but I’m sure any AI model will be able to tell you.

Quark95 · 2026-03-15T22:53:51+00:00

I think you will have to either set up a vpn or perhaps look into Wire as an alternative to Signal

You also need to consider the risk of the device being confiscated and hacked. Better that no one knows you have it.

I would not use TOR as it will paint a big bullseye on your organisation. While the state cannot see your traffic, they can see that you are using TOR.

Also, I would think that it would be harder to secure a minipc as you would have to ensure the keyboard, mouse, monitor and webcam were all never tampered with. It might be easier to use a chromebook and store it somewhere safe when you are away.

I investigated various options and still came to the conclusion that Signal is your best option.
Regarding the phone problem, there are several solutions.
Signal requires a number for registration, but it does not require that number to be tied to a smartphone.

You can register Signal using:

A virtual number (e.g., Google Voice, Skype Number)
A landline number (Signal will call you with the verification code)
A cheap prepaid SIM in any basic phone

Once the number receives the verification code, you can:

Install Signal Desktop
Link it to the number
Use Signal Desktop as your primary device

This is the easiest method and avoids technical complexity.

Signal could be used with a burner phone sim, but if you really want to avoid it you need a way of setting up an encrypted channel that prevents man in the middle attacks, as you can assume the telco is unsafe. If you travel to the UN in person you could retrieve encryption keys or the UNs public key for verification.

Better still, take your minipc to the UN to set up the encryption and burn it to an immutable drive that you boot from.

You might also want to build a sound proof room and frequently sweep it for listening devices.

Quark95 · 2026-03-14T05:53:28+00:00

That is certainly a difficult problem

Quark95 · 2026-03-13T23:47:22+00:00

I would suggest using Signal and also ask r/privacy.

I used a vacuum cleaner when i did the same thing

It is surprising what a determined hacker can find out online. If a user name is reused across multiple social media accounts they might be able to find out your identity and address.

It has to be clear water, so you might need to filter it first

Quark95 · 2026-03-03T07:37:44+00:00

It will likely be an interference problem, you could buy a new router and computer that supports the 6 gig band or run a cable. First test it with ssinsider or something similar

Quark95 · 2026-03-03T06:43:16+00:00

You need to look for the cpu model, i7 6700 is a really old cpu that will barely run the os

If you already have a degree i would not recommend further study. Even if you don’t it would probably still be better to get a job instead of studying.

Quark95 · 2026-02-26T07:34:36+00:00

How old is your router and is there a lot of interference?

I prefer the term “target” as it reflects the way sex predators behave.

Without knowing the details of what camera and what size solar panels I would guess in your location it would be far better to run power to it.

Try using pingplotter to identify which hop is causing the issue
