Hypothetically if the machines were not rendered inoperable - either physically or by a remote 'kill switch' how self-sufficient could an operator be without support of ASML or TSMC personnel?

This is all very interesting. No disrespect to Mullvad but will there be any effort towards attempting to get such functionality standardized? In the past there was a XOR scrambling patch for OpenVPN[1] to attempt to circumvent certain gove

Considering past events such as this.[1] I think it is more likely that the F.B.I are aware of TAILS and its limitations against certain adversaries and choose not to comment. [1]: https://gizmodo.com/report-facebook-helped-

While supporting funding more nodes is a noble goal another concern I consider overlooked is the potential 'centralisation' of nodes e.g how a large number of Tor nodes are hosted in Germany and near countries and the implications

As a related topic the NY Times .onion site likes to refuse loading articles thinking a normal visitor with Tor Browser is a robot. If anyone has any contact with the NYTimes ops' team perhaps this issue could be raised with them.

Might recall reading something to the effect of the C Tor daemon having run into bottlenecks due to lack of multi-threading of certain components and general concern over safety footguns.

Agree. While this is certainly a notable milestone it does seem a little premature to celebrate considering the caveats of the current version.

Some people claim this is the situation with the new Twitter onion-service. Sad.

How about the fact Twitter recently launched an official onion-service yet it is claimed by users when attempting to create an account with email over it the account is locked for 'abuse' within short order?

Perhaps Twitter needs to make it easier to create accounts anonymously and stop virtue signaling (i.e suspend accounts created over Tor onion-service) With pseudonymous usage of public services information minimisation to maintain operation

Conclusion. Some random person created a bunch of Tor exit nodes doing some internal routing fuckery for :80 traffic. Anyone should assume their plain-text traffic is fine-pickings when over Tor (and probably any of the VPN providers anyway

I was under the impression the KPN attacker merely used a single-hop VPN service from his KPN connection and the investigators managed to correlate traffic-flows. Unfortunate that talk is not publicly available.

Realistically you cannot win against a resourceful adversary every time. But merely painting the situation through the lens of premature surrender is also a disservice. It will be interesting to see what third-party researchers discover abo

One cannot remain private or anonymous from a state-level adversary indefinitely but throwing your hands up and dismissing it as impossible is also a fallacy. Details are sporadic for easy reasons but quite a few whistle-blowers and other c

> it doesn't help that the current owner of freenode is notoriously litigious. Yawn. All I have seen is some angry techbro who can dish out an hour of time for an attorney to write angry letter when he does not have things his way.

America seems to have a blase culture about actually preventing these mass-shootings after they occur outside of virtue-signaling (see the popular Onion trope "No Way to Prevent This") but at the same time one could have the conce

Not everyone needs to be a 10x engineer that does everything all the time. It is good to take a step back and realise what you want to do. In a technical sense one skill that can help realise these 'big daunting ideas' is to bre
