It's called "letterboxing", and rounds the window size to the nearest 200x100 px when maximized, I think. So while it does make you slightly less unique than just maximizing normally would, that anonymity set is still potenti

When one claims to have a direct line to God and receive modern revelation, it would be expected that maybe they would see the writing on the wall, and I dunno, not enslave people? The problem was that they were actively writing new scriptu

It also deliberately hinders progress with things like first past the post elections and the electoral college. America is flawed from a purely game theory point of view. It has a lot of bugfixes it needs to implement, hopefully sooner rath

The Venn diagram of "national secret police" and the foreign intelligence agencies the Navy was trying to avoid probably has quite a bit of overlap in many areas of the world. So, yeah, it was in fact originally designed for just

I don't know why this is being downvoted, I think it's a perfectly valid point. The entire basis of BLM protests is about use of police violence against black people. If I were black and think I'm more likely to get the shit

Cheese pizza is a common euphemism for child pornography online, which I believe originated from 4chan? Not sure on that part, but it's definitely a common slang for it. Now whether that's how they were using it in the emails or n

I like to use !s instead so it will leverage Startpage as a proxy for Google searches. Same results, but at least I can try to hide in a crowd.

Yeah, the documentation is dated. Not only does it point to an old version, but it would probably be best to get it from the GitHub page he links to. Even then, there are more active forks, so they may be worth checking out to see which wou

Couldn't you just ban the /64 and call it good? It's not like they get a random selection of addresses, they're all going to be the same CIDR. Or am I overlooking something here?

In this threat model, the only defense you would have would be an overlay network resistant to correlation attacks where all nodes are involved in routing traffic (like I2P), or a mixnet like Katzenpost. Getting people to use Tor for everyt
