I beg of you all, stop with the immediate reaction of trying to figure a way to code around men with lawyers and assault rifles. Think of where this leads, the current actors who have taken this route. Hosts are "bulletproof" operators sacrificing themselves until raided or de-peered for a low low(high) cost. Nights are slaved away making private end to end networks of proxies and vpns, built to buffer contact from your own servers. You end up paying people to buy your phones. In the end most are jailed after 'parallel' investigations are made upon them. Associates are thrown in jail with violent offenders so they can be used as snitches when they flip. You are threatened with rape by men of law, "those boys will fuck you good." Enough with the pathetic urges to code out of this. Please.

You know, it's funny. There's this image cultivated of some elite team of soldiers waiting to snipe a pasty nerd at his computer as he attempts to write the characters "#include <openssl/" for civil disobedience, and yet when I take a stroll around firearms enthusiast sites (a group much more directly threatening to the government at large), I (still) find references to this: http://sofrep.com/16644/1000-green-berets-sign-letter-of-support-for-2nd-amendment/ http://sofrep.com/16644/1000-green-berets-sign-letter-of-sup... ? How can it be that active-duty soldiers working for the government advocating civilians owning firearms for the explicit purpose of overthrowing the government if and when it becomes tyrannical doesn't warrant the "lawyers and assault rifles" approach, but an intelligent person creating the next great encryption application does? Hmm... The only thing worse than a decline into fascism is not doing something when you should because of the ironic fear of what is going to happen when you do...
