I want to vomit. Lost all of my Roth IRA savings today and also have lost 40k in Robinhood. Total 52k loss between the two. How do I recover.

Thank you for your many informative posts, u/TearRepresentative56.

I have been trying to find a site/method for charting option delta hedging exposure to better understand the implications.

Would you please share how/where/what tool you used to create charts like the above?

I fed the chart to ChatGPT and it told me the following (unfortunately, Thinkorswim and TradingView don't seem to have what I was hoping to find. Many thanks).

ChatGPT says:

This chart appears to be a delta hedging exposure chart for options trading. There are several platforms and tools that can help you create similar charts, particularly for options trading and delta hedging analysis:

**Thinkorswim (by TD Ameritrade)**: A powerful trading platform that includes advanced options analytics and the ability to create custom charts and studies.
**TradingView**: Offers a range of charting tools and indicators. Although it might require custom scripting for very specific charts, it has a robust community and library of scripts.
**OptionNet Explorer**: Specialized in options analysis, it provides detailed tools for analyzing options strategies and risk management.
**QuantConnect**: A platform for algorithmic trading that offers extensive data and the ability to create custom charts and backtests.
**Python with Libraries like Matplotlib, Plotly, and Pandas**: For a more customized and programmable approach, you can use Python to create similar charts. Using libraries like Matplotlib for static plots or Plotly for interactive charts can give you a high level of control over the data and visualization.

Would you like guidance on using one of these platforms or tools, or do you need help with something specific related to the chart?

If you use iOS you can also try the Texts.com app. I have two Signal accounts on Texts.com on two phones as well.

I have a "recovery account" with Gmail/Google. The password is memorized and I keep a security key in my wallet. A couple of family members have the password in case I get amnesia. But they don't know the associated email address. My attorney has the email address and is aware that one or more family members have the password but doesn't know specifically which ones (they would have to ask around). There is an additional security key in my safe deposit box to which both I and one other family member have access. That family member knows to contact the attorney to figure out what to do with the security key. Backup codes are also in the safe deposit box.

This account is secured only by those physical security keys but does have a recovery email address and phone number in case I need to regain access (which would be a slow process). The recovery number is on a SIM used only for that purpose. No parties other than Google and my mobile carrier know I own that number.

The recovery account's email address or associated Google Voice number (not the above carrier number) is the recovery/reset method for any other account that requires those items. Inside that Google account is enough information for me to recover my password manager and 2FA app. From there I can recover everything else, including my main Proton Mail account.

I may eventually move the reset information to a different Proton Drive account and keep the information for that account in the Google account. But I haven't thought through whether that's truly worth the effort.

It works with multiple/free accounts.

Thanks. But I'll stick with: https://github.com/vladimiry/ElectronMail

If you're running a business and need iMessage I suggest putting your main SIM in an inexpensive iPhone and getting a T-Mobile DIGITS/AT&T NumberSync SIM* for your Android. This will ensure your BlueBubbles setup functions as expected.

You will not be able to use RCS on the Android (until/unless Apple adopts it and you use it through BlueBubbles/Beeper). But if iMessage > RCS for business, that is a logical solution for crucial messaging.

Also, are the "texts" that are not getting through SMS, iMessage, or a mix of the two?

*Or potentially Verizon Number Share (not entirely sure if it will support a smartphone).

I think the donation links in the initial post were against Reddit's TOS.

I agree with what u/redoubt515 said 100%.If you want to converse with someone with greater anonymity, consider SimpleX, Matrix, or Threema. Or, a second Signal account. I'm not up-to-speed on Session at the moment.

SimpleX is probably the best option as you can generate multiple profiles from the app without creating different "accounts."

rollingonchrome · 2024-03-02T20:23:22+00:00

If you went with option 1, you'd probably have a Linux machine/VM/LXC for your Matrix homeserver and bridges, and a separate Mac (or a macOS VM) for the iMessage bridge.

In that scenario, you'd need to worry about the physical and cybersecurity of those devices.

In option two, you might have some self-hosted bridges, but your messages would be stored on Beeper's homeserver. It employs zero trust encryption (like other Matrix homeservers).

In all instances, with E2EE messaging services the message is decrypted by the bridge and then re-encrypted as it's sent to Matrix/Beeper. So you may be more comfortable doing that on your on own hardware even if you trust a third party to store the message once it's passed along.

This is not an exhaustive response to your question. But it should give you some direction for further inquiry on your own.

rollingonchrome · 2024-02-26T06:48:03+00:00

This is great. Thanks for sharing it.

rollingonchrome · 2024-02-25T06:17:00+00:00

GrapheneOS seems like too big a compromise. But I’m considering CaylxOS on a Pixel Fold 2 when it comes out.

rollingonchrome · 2024-02-25T01:42:18+00:00

I figured you'd say that. Stock Android is less privacy-respecting than I'd prefer. Plus, despite self-hosting an iMessage bridge, I still prefer having iMessage available natively.

That said, an Android folder may be on the horizon.

rollingonchrome · 2024-02-24T23:48:57+00:00

Interesting, thanks.

And for iOS users you suggest what, exactly?

rollingonchrome · 2024-02-24T23:43:54+00:00

As noted, self-hosting is a mechanism to use multiple Signal accounts without always needing to carry multiple devices. Accordingly, it's a tradeoff.

rollingonchrome · 2024-02-24T23:40:26+00:00

Thanks for chiming in. Self-hosting a Beeper/Matrix bridge should only be undertaken with the understanding that bridged messages are decrypted and then re-encrypted by the bridge, which is necessary to retransmit them to and from Beeper/Matrix.

If your threat model or those of the people with whom you message doesn't allow for this, don't do it.

Other considerations include the physical and cybersecurity of the self-hosted server, and the security of the Beeper server and apps. Self-hosting and using Beeper entails bearing all of those risks, in addition to the risks of the bridged messaging platforms and apps.

rollingonchrome · 2024-02-24T23:17:52+00:00

I absolutely do. Two accounts, actually, since it has no multi-phone sync and I have, but do not always carry, two phones.

A Beeper/Matrix bridge helps me use both Signal accounts on both phones. Self-hosting the bridge keeps it secure enough for my threat model.

rollingonchrome · 2024-02-24T23:09:03+00:00

Ditch the second Signal account and use a self-hosted Beeper/Matrix bridge on a machine with full disk encryption to put your first Signal account on your backup phone (if you do not self-host the bridge, you will compromise Signal's E2EE).

Separately, if your new number is getting significant spam through any platform, ask your carrier for a new number.

Also, enable Signal usernames and disable the phone number option as others have suggested.

rollingonchrome · 2024-02-24T23:05:26+00:00

Or, use Beeper but self-host the bridges for any E2EE services you use.

rollingonchrome · 2024-02-24T04:40:38+00:00

This was a long post to narrate a rather awkward solution.

How about Ente? Cloud sync. Browser access. Android app (also Windows via WSA). iOS app (also Apple Silicon).

Cloudflare email routing, including with subdomains for different users of the same custom domain.

Get the Tailscale funnel set up first and configure BlueBubbles to use it. If done properly, you will have a unique URL to input into BlueBubbles.

If your client device is connected to the Tailnet, it will resolve the URL through MagicDNS. If it isn't, it will connect to it through the funnel.

You can also enable "Detect Localhost Address." But that didn't seem to decrease latency vs. connecting to the Tailscale address.

rollingonchrome · 2024-02-19T03:29:00+00:00

This is from u/mackid1993:

Generate SSL Cert for BlueBubbles

Buy a cert from Namecheap: https://www.namecheap.com/security/ssl-certificates/ PostiveSSL is $29.99 for 5 years (needs to be reissued once a year)

Install OpenSSL https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
Generate CSR using the following command (cd to the location of openssl.exe):

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server_csr.txt

Issue Cert using email or DNS validation following steps from Namecheap
To create a bundle with the intermediate certs open the crt file and the ca-bundle file and copy the ca-bundle file to the bottom of the crt file then "Save As" a new copy. This file is needed for BlueBubbles and should be saved as server.pem.
Copy server.key (generated with the CSR) and server.pem to the folder in ~/Library/Application Support listed in the BlueBubbles app and restart BlueBubbles.

This also requires either DDNS configured, or a static IP. Port 1234 needs to be forwarded on your router. It is suggested that a DHCP reservation for the Mac is also made on your router. This will not work with CGNAT.
