This is not metadata analysis resistant, so Mozilla could still technically see who is sending files to who (unless you use Firefox Send in Tor Browser - not sure how well that works). That's not to say this service isn't useful,

For Facebook, you can use its onion service to get improved speeds (the traffic doesn't leave the Tor network, which itself is quite fast, it is only the exits to the Internet which are slow): https://facebookcorewwwi.onion&

For additional security, instead of exposing your internal services to the Internet, communicate using a Tor Onion service. It handle NAT for you, and can be very resilient (you have 6500 servers that can act as a rendezvous point in the To

In general, this isn't the best idea. If you force all your traffic through Tor you increase the chances that you're going to have an opsec fail. Loads of stuff talks to loads of other stuff in the background all the time. Checkin

Debian doesn't actually have anything against sysvinit or OpenRC. Those are just not the defaults. Both sysvinit and OpenRC are available in Debian. It probably would be easier to have a non-systemd system were the Devuan developers to

If we remembered there was more to the "web" than HTTP, this would be a thing. I remember Tim had a diagram that showed "links" between all different systems, all addressable by URI/URL.

URLs are addresses. For web, we messed up and URLs became part of the UI. It shouldn't be necessary to use URLs in most cases though. e.g. imagine using IMAP URLs to read your email.

As far as I can see, there's no Orbot integration. ): Optional support for that would be a killer feature.

There was a Microsoft Research project that made it possible to run Windows XP (or Server 2003, I don't remember exactly) as a PV guest. That was really cool, but the whole project disappeared. If it had been open source, I bet it woul

What about all the other patches they're holding back? This can't be the only security issue they've only selectively distributed patches for.

If you want to try out JMAP on a provider that is not FastMail, you use a proxy: https://proxy.jmap.io/ I've not seen it deployed anywhere else yet as a production thing, and I don't know how much progress has bee

This is also as I understood it. It is possible to have a single hop circuit to an exit, but I don't think you can do single hops to hidden services yet. The hidden service would also have to be explicitly configured to be a single hop
