I did an image search for NG in US capitol. Every clear image I find they don't seem to have mags or spare mags on their person.

Seriously? STOP sending them traffic and clicks. That's how they make $$. Starve the beast. Screen shot or archive links.

Welp, time for me to find another cloud host. I have enough on my plate helping folks replace Firefox, dumping Twatter & FB, but this statement is a clear sign to GTFO.

I've deployed both of those options for both home and business use. They have all the features you would expect, they have mobile client apps as well.

A Synology NAS with Synology Drive give you some control back but still requires Chinese hardware and software.

When someone says it's hosted in the cloud, they mean you are renting somebody else's server.

Are you technical at all? You can host your own with either of these options.

https://nextcloud.com/

https://owncloud.com/

You can also pay for Owncloud to use their hosted version.

Thanks for the info and encouragement to move forward. I have the site for Chirp bookmarked (for like 6 months) and I have the HAM Study guide sitting on my desk. I signed up for a class and testing with a local club and then they go shutdown because of the Rona. I see they are offering on-line testing now. Once I get through that I may ask for a hand locating repeaters and what not.

OpenDNS is owned by Cisco, which of course is based in Silicon Valley. Without revealing too much, I don't trust Cisco with DNS.

I prefer 9.9.9.9 more info here: https://www.quad9.net/

There are more secure options but that's a good start. DO NOT USE 8.8.8.8 that is Google.

Can you recommend a descent hand held and a fixed setup? Not too sure about the Beofang for mobile.

MODS, why are we directly linking directly to the various enemies? Am I missing something?

I think it's under a heavy load as Twitter purges. It's working for me via VPN.

YES! and block external posts that link to them as well. Post a screen shot, but no links.
