- themitigating 4y agoHow about standing up to the people who implemented the ban and their supporters. I don't understand why we are working around oppression.

- saghm 4y agoTechnical workarounds and social activism aren't mutually exclusive; given how long the latter can take to achieve results, it's often useful to have the former in the meantime.
- themitigating 4y agoBy bypassing the block you lessen the need for social activism
- rvz 4y agoOr just self-host your repositories and don't deal with centralized Git services given that techies here are hyping around how 'easy' it is to spin up Mastodon instances. Should be even easier to self-host a Git repository then, just like a website.
- nyolfen 4y agoyour goal should be making these impossible to enforce, social activism is not an end in itself
- bilekas 4y agoThis doesn't add up. Should the `work around` not be used because it lessens the need for social activism ? One does not negate the other.
- howinteresting 4y agoSo much the worse for social activism then.
- ssnistfajen 4y agoBypassing the block renders the authoritarian control measures ineffective and/or void. This is an act of resistance in itself. Why do you think bypassing the ban is conforming to authority?
- salawat 4y agoYou bypassing the block remedies the situation for you. The thing is, not everyone is a super techy like you. The problem is everyone else who isn't you having access restored. While F you, got mine is tempting, you gotta remember the follow through. Always punch up.
- ssnistfajen 4y agoWhy do you assume those who know how to bypass the block won't share it? Contrary to your expectations, people don't exist as isolated entities in vacuum.
- HideousKojima 4y agoHow, exactly, do you propose doing that? Do you mean hiring lawyers to try and get the court's decision reversed? Or lobbying to get legislation passed to prevent courts from being able to do things like this in the future? And if the court's decision doesn't get reversed and/or the legislation doesn't pass, what then?
- themitigating 4y agoGo after the supporters of the people who implemented the ban.
- pjc50 4y agoThere's probably quite a lot of them. Modi-style authoritarianism is extremely popular in India.

Hate speech on the internet against non-Hindus is common in the country and even here they are trying hard to remove my comments fearing many people will see their true faces. It's only social media and whatsapp that's required by you-know-which-majority-religion terrorist accounts to spread venom and hate speech against other communities. source: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-61090363 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-61090363

- jMyles 4y agoIt seems to me that modifying the world so that the oppressive policy becomes irrelevant is always preferable. And when that's not possible, heck yeah, stand up to power with truth in hand.
- josephcsible 4y agoThat's definitely worth doing, but you still need a workaround in the meantime.
- OneLeggedCat 4y agoWhat would be your favorite way of standing up to the people who implemented the ban and their supporters?
- themitigating 4y agoPunishing them financially through boycotts, cutting off friends and family, voting them out, and terminating their employment. Whatever can be done obviously
- InCityDreams 4y ago...I'll guess you've never been hit by an indian policeman with a stick? And they don't wear bodycams. My point being: your words are empty if you're not actualky there. Just imagine what happened pre-body cam (USA/ UK etc) and multiply that by many, throw in a LOT of judicial corruption and 'standing up to' becomes a little more difficult than it would at first appear. Circumnavigation may be the best option at the moment.
- xvilo 4y agoDon't forget about the IPv6 proxies floating around
- Ayesh 4y ago> On Android: Most phones nowadays should have DoT support built-in nowadays.
- jrochkind1 4y agoI don't know what "DoH" or "DoT" are.
- Ayesh 4y agoDNS over TLS and DNS over HTTPS.
- javajosh 4y agoI'm not a big fan of jargon either, but if you clicked on one of those links, you'd see that it stands for DNS over HTTP or DNS over Tor.
- Macha 4y agoTLS, not Tor
- javajosh 4y agoThe GP's link, the one they maintain, says DNS over Tor.
- anderskaseorg 4y agoDoT is DNS over TLS: https://techdocs.akamai.com/etp/docs/configure-dot-doh https://techdocs.akamai.com/etp/docs/configure-dot-doh, https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/dns-over-tls/ https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/dns-over-tls/, https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/dns-over-tls https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/dns-over..., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_over_TLS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_over_TLS Android ≥ 9 natively supports DNS over TLS: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/04/dns-over-tls-support-in-android-p.html https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/04/dns-over-t... So does iOS ≥ 14: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/dns_settings https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/d..., https://support.quad9.net/hc/en-us/articles/360057889591-Setup-iOS-DNS-over-HTTPS-or-DNS-over-TLS https://support.quad9.net/hc/en-us/articles/360057889591-Set... The link you’re referring to, https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app, supports DNS over Tor, but does not call it “DoT”. It does not support DNS over TLS (https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/441 https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/441), and it is not something that phones have built-in.
- hexagonwin 4y agoIs there a way to run one of these on the router level, using something like OpenWrt? DoH already works really well.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- melvyn2 4y agoOP claims it’s SNI based and not DNS based, so switching DNS providers likely won’t do anything.
- faheel 4y agoFor me, and many others on Twitter, updating the DNS worked (I used 1.1.1.1). Though I'm not sure why.
- ignoramous 4y ago> OP claims it's SNI based and not DNS based, so switching DNS providers likely won’t do anything. All the apps listed do get past most rudimentary SNI-based blocks, incl GoodbyeDPI which is pretty sophisticated. One still needs DoH because (unencrypted) DNS is the weakest link.
