OK, good idea.

I mean that "full ownership" implies "owning the entire stack". Which in any useful context is arguably impossible. So "full ownership" just isn't a useful way to think about this. I mentioned Freenet and

In my experience, that's harder to do than you might expect. Some years ago, I found some unmaintained software that worked for signing html. But I didn't find anything to verify signed pages. Just an old Firefox extension that no

Sure, "full ownership" means owning the entire stack. And it's a limited concept, in any case. I mean, you'd have no problem hosting anything as a Tor onion site, or on Freenet. You don't "own" either plat

True. But you could host on a Pi via Tor, as an onion site.
157.
by mirimir 6y ago
Yes, Tor onion sites are indeed an excellent option. And as noted elsewhere, you don't even need a public IP address. However, using Tor2web proxies is very risky, because proxy operators can see and modify traffic.

No, but you can drive unlicensed vehicles -- even vehicles that could never be licensed -- on private land.

It's cool, but I see that it requires WebGL. I wonder if it could be done without it.

up-to-date-ness = currency It's not the usual meaning, and so confusing, although arguably the meanings are fundamentally consistent.

Looking through that, I see some Bitcoin-driven services. What I don't see are any that accept payments and pay out via a wide range of channels, from PayPal to Bitcoin. And for Bitcoin, I don't mean Coinbase or exchange accounts

It does seem very useful. And I'm disappointed :( Given the title, I was hoping for a way to fix Google's broken web history. So it goes.

I wouldn't want my ISP-assigned IP address to be associated with my Monero transactions. And VPNs, even nested VPN chains, provide far less anonymity than Tor. Edit: s/Bitcoin/Monero/g

Hey, I was going to mention garbage chutes. I lived briefly in a building with them, and there were occasional chute fires. At least some intentional, I'm guessing.

Bitcoin ATMs probably have surveillance cameras.

I'm OK with that. And it's impossible to avoid, if you're using systems with any chance of protecting your privacy. Also, criminals tend to attract lots of attention, and they're often careless, so they act as canaries.

That's true. You never mix any more than you're willing to lose. And sure, it's money laundering. But money laundering in defense of freedom from oppression is OK, as I see it.

Mirimir earns his Bitcoin, so there's no cash involved. But no matter how you get the Bitcoin, you can get whatever degree of anonymity you want, by mixing it many times. You mix via Tor and nested VPN chains, with a different Whonix V

Sodium in hot concentrated nitric acid is very impressive. As you say, outside with a string-activated rig. Short term, it does kill vegetation. But long term, it's fertilizer.

Interesting. I do something similar, for an entirely different reason. Basically, I don't want any information about what I'm working on leaking to Microsoft. Or to anyone, for that matter. So I have a Win10 VM, with apps that I n

I was wondering whether Target Subjects whose names aren't capitalized in the FBI complaint had cooperated. But then, the complaint states that most of them are defendants in the Massachusetts case.
