Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a free OSINT tool that can determine whether someone has uploaded a photo of me to Facebook without my knowledge and consent.

Ideally, I'd like to upload a photo of my face and have the tool search across Facebook for matching images on Pages and Groups.

If such a tool exists, I have a few questions:

- Does it search only publicly accessible content such as Pages or Public Groups? Or can it also find matches in Private and Secret Groups as well?

- Will the tool work if let's say some person with bad intentions have posted my photos on their group or page and have blocked me on Facebook?

- Are there any reliable free tools you would recommend?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations or insights.

Hi everyone,

I'm interested in learning Krav Maga for self-defense, but I have a mild cervical disc compression (neck). I am a man in my mid-thirties for context.

I live in Bangladesh and my doctor has advised me to avoid lifting weights and activities that place excessive strain on my neck. Other than that, I can carry out normal daily activities without any significant problems.

My main question is whether Krav Maga training can be adapted for someone with this condition or not? If so, how can it be modified?

I am a human rights activist from Bangladesh and have a complex personal case that has been ongoing for 18 years.

As you might know, in Bangladesh, people who are suspected of being LGBT can have community members form vigilante mobs through social media to organize campaigns to drive them out of their homes, workplaces, schools, etc. Some are physically attacked and some are killed. Sometimes personal data, such as private photos and other sensitive information, is doxxed to these groups to add fuel to the fire. I suspect that, in some cases, state actors may be using spyware or hacking to obtain and disclose such information. In essence, I suspect it could amount to a form of state–public joint persecution. I suspect I may be a victim of this myself.

I also have several intersecting vulnerabilities: I am an atheist, a human rights activist, a person with a disability, and I am perceived by some people as LGBT.

Given all this complexity, when I am sending my first email to a lawyer in England or the USA, with experience in UN human rights mechanisms, what should I write in that initial email? Should I keep it brief, or include a detailed summary of the case? What information would you expect to see in a first contact?

Hi everyone,

I live in Bangladesh, where if someone is suspected of being LGB, community members often organize through social media to drive them out of schools, workplaces, and even their homes. Some are beaten, and some are killed. Their personal information—such as their workplace, home address, intimate photos, and private content—is doxxed to these groups, resulting in further violence.

These incidents are almost never reported in the mainstream Bangladeshi media because of the extreme taboo surrounding these topics. At most, they are briefly mentioned on social media before disappearing. Only a very small number of cases are documented by international human rights organizations.

I am beginning to suspect that some state actors (possibly intelligence agencies) may be involved. My concern is that spyware may be used to obtain and leak the private data of suspected LGB individuals to these groups, further fueling the violence. If that is happening, it would amount to a joint state-public campaign of persecution. I believe I may myself be a victim of such a campaign.

I have tried reaching out to lawyers in Bangladesh, but discussions involving LGB issues are often shut down immediately. To give some context, in my 40 years I have never seen a transgender person being allowed through the door in banks, hospitals, schools, shopping malls, or offices, even though there are no laws prohibiting them from being there. That gives you an idea of the level of prejudice.

I also tried posting on the legaladvice subreddits, but my posts were removed because I live outside their jurisdiction. 

What I am looking for is a lawyer with experience in UN human rights mechanisms, international media, and human rights NGO advocacy. I have prepared a summary that can be explained in about 10 minutes, and I simply want to know whether I can and should access any UN mechanism, reach out to international media or human rights NGO regarding my case or until the case is more developed. And if yes now, tips on how to present/structure my case and what to say and what is not relevant. It would only require a 30-minute pro bono consultation. Unfortunately, sending money abroad is heavily restricted in Bangladesh, so I cannot realistically pay an international lawyer.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find someone willing to provide such a consultation?

PS: I am not asking anyone to assess the merits of my allegations in this post. I am simply looking for a referral to someone with experience in UN human rights mechanisms who can assess the merits and advise me on the appropriate avenues, if any.

Hi everyone,

I live in Bangladesh, and there are no water polo clubs or synchronized swimming clubs here. In fact, there are only 2–3 Olympic-sized pools in the capital, and none offer proper training. I learned swimming on my own through YouTube videos and books on Total Immersion, and I can swim all four competitive strokes.

My biggest problem is that I can't tread water. I want to become proficient at:

• Sculling with my hands
• The eggbeater kick

I've watched many YouTube videos on eggbeater, but I still can't get it right. I think I need videos that teach it step by step, with progressive drills that show the correct form, help you feel the water properly, and gradually build the skill until you master it.

I'm looking for high-quality instructional videos, especially for sculling and eggbeater, that teach the skills drill by drill from beginner to advanced.

Can anyone recommend some good ones?

Hi everyone,

I have a mental health condition, and because of it I have faced societal abuse and harassment for around 18 years.

Recently, I met a lawyer through an online civil society networking event, and he agreed to speak with me for about 30 minutes. So far, I have only briefly mentioned by email that the situation involves technology-facilitated violence connected to disability and being misperceived as LGBT.

My question is: during a short consultation like this, is it better to give a short high-level summary first, or try to explain the full chronology?

The difficulty is that I feel the full context is necessary to properly understand what happened and is happening and why it became so serious. But at the same time, explaining the entire chronology could easily take 20 minutes or more, leaving little time for actual legal guidance or questions.

How would lawyers generally prefer a client to approach this kind of initial consultation where the client is meeting the lawyer for the first time?

Hi everyone,

I live in Bangladesh and I was thinking of starting a side hustle where I work only on Fridays and Saturdays, helping small businesses in the USA set up and train simple AI chatbots for their websites.

The goal is to eventually earn around USD 700 per month consistently. Once I can reliably make that amount, I plan to leave my current job, which is worsening my cervical spondylosis.

I wanted to ask a few things:

1. Is it realistic to earn this much while working only two days a week?

2. How would you suggest finding customers for this kind of service?

3. What business model would you recommend for something like this?

4. My degrees are in Economics and MBA, not Computer Science. Would that be a problem? I’m wondering whether potential customers would trust someone without a CS background to set up AI chatbots.

Would really appreciate any honest advice or guidance from people who have experience in this area.

Edit: Clarified target market.

Hi everyone,

I am from Bangladesh. I currently work at a bank as a clerk. I leave home at 8am and usually return around 9:30pm, five days a week. Friday and Saturday are my only free days.

The work is worsening my cervical spondylosis, and I can no longer lift weights or do sports because of the pain and strain.

I want to build an income stream working only on weekends. Once I can steadily earn at least around USD 700/month, I will be able to leave this job. I need to reach that level before the end of this year, since USD 700 is roughly the minimum amount I need to support my family and stay afloat financially.

I also have some limitations:

• The only realistic way for me to receive international payments is through Payoneer.
• PayPal and Stripe are not available here.
• Sending money abroad is also heavily restricted.

Another issue is that I thoroughly dislike banking work. It feels monotonous, repetitive, and extremely conventional. So ideally, I would prefer not to spend my weekends doing something similarly draining.

Initially, I thought about learning WordPress website building for small businesses in the USA. But lately, many people have been saying the market is shrinking because of AI website builders.

Given my situation and constraints, what would you realistically suggest I focus on?

Especially considering:

• I can currently work only on Fridays and Saturdays.
• I need something that can realistically grow to around USD 700/month before the end of this year.
• I can only receive payments through Payoneer.

I would genuinely appreciate practical advice from people with experience.

Finding new website building work is difficult. Has anyone here managed to build a steady income source with WordPress that is passive-ish? Maybe through maintenance retainers, hosting, SEO, or something else?

What exactly do you do for clients on an ongoing basis to earn this passive-ish income?

Hi everyone,

I am a human rights activist from Bangladesh. My work has been featured in UN thematic reports as well as by international human rights organizations. I can share links if needed for credibility.

I need help designing a physical intrusion detection system, and I’m looking for practical, low-cost solutions.

1. Yard Camera:
I want something that can capture evidence if anyone comes into the house—whether to implant a covert surveillance device, tamper with electronics, or anything else.

I am considering a camera facing the yard, but:

• It has to be air-gapped (I don’t want it connected to the internet) to prevent hacking risks.
• Cameras here are often stolen or vandalized.
• We have power outages (1–2 hours daily).
• The system should make it difficult for an adversary to:
  • Steal or destroy the device or delete footage without being recorded
• Ideally, I want clear evidence (e.g., face) even if they attempt to tamper or destroy the system.

2. Cabinet tamper detection:
I keep electronics, documents, and legal records in a cabinet in my bedroom.

I don’t want a visible camera in the room due to privacy (family members move around there), so I was thinking:

• Maybe an air-gapped camera inside the cabinet
• But that might only capture hands, and someone could still destroy the device, steal it or delete logs.

I need a way to:

• Detect if the cabinet is opened or tampered with
• Capture some form of evidence of who opened it.
• Prevent easy deletion or destruction of logs

Constraints:

• Must be low cost
• Prefer locally available solutions
• Importing products is very expensive here: 200 to 300% customs duties on Amazon products for example.
• Cannot rely on internet/cloud systems

I’ve had some security incidents before, including hacking of devices so I do not trust software. I trust airgapped systems.

If needed, I’m open to discussing details via DM as well.

Thanks.
