Something tells me that after this Middle East visit, Trump would want to become the king of America

@babushka99 "Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting" by Lynn Grabhorn is a very well rounded read. Then Neville Goddard's lectures and you won't look back

HOW TO BEST PROTECT YOURSELF FROM PAKISTAN INTERNET MONITORING & DEEP PACKET INSPECTION INSTALLED IN PAKISTAN BY THE HOUSE-OF-DRAGONS

We all now know that PTA has been quite actively installing & implementing an extensive firewall with the ability to be able to conduct Deep Packet Inspection of all internet traffic originating from Pakistan and help powers-that-be aka the House-of Dragons ability to monitor any & all communication by the law-abiding citizens of Pakistan. We're aware that various access nodes are now fully replicated & controlled by the House-of-Dragons.

To be honest the millions-of-$'s spent to install this dream DPI + Firewall project is definitely easier sold on paper but proving extremely difficult for PTA to implement. Abundant hints are there to show they are failing massively, also because most tech companies keep improving & tightening their own platform security to ensure such state espionage does not happen

A thread on how law-abiding citizens can do their best to protect themselves from the PTA & the House-of-Dragons snooping on their data

I am looking for a new job and it has become waaay more urgent than originally anticipated.

I’m a full stack Laravel developer, I love to bridge that gap with devops, and I have leadership experience.

If any of you have leads, roles, or could pass this on, I’d appreciate it. 🙏

@neilgilmour @laravelphp Spending a couple of months exploring Node only made me appreciate Laravel more!

[Usama @usamagX]

Even amidst the hustle and bustle of entrepreneurship, taking a moment to appreciate the small victories fuels the journey. Today, it's about celebrating progress, no matter how incremental 🙌
