I think the attraction is simply the portability and battery life tablets provide. You can also use Shells [1] and simply run those desktop OS on your tablet. I think this is the sweet spot that lets you truly go all tablet. [1] https:

ASCII art is what it was called. Edit: As aptly mentioned ANSI art is the right word. This was the colorful BBS days as opposed to FXP courier days they were covering.

Dear Roy, It is unfortunate you are dealing with this. I am so sorry and hope for the best. The Handshake founders had an airdrop pre allocated for you in the Handshake Blockchain [1] so there is about $64,000.00 in there that you can claim

You could also recycle your old laptop by running a cloud OS app like Shells [1]. You just need an old laptop that can run a modern browser. [1] https://shells.com

This highlights one reason why you would want to have your own TLD on Handshake [1] instead of a leased subdomain. This way you aren’t subject to the uptime of another. [1] https://handshake.org

If you use the Firefox and Chrome extension [1] you do not need to trust that the encryption code is broken. [1] https://private.sh/extension.html

It's not a trustless solution, but one that requires multiple parties to collude to break trust as opposed to in most search engines cases, just one. In other words, if "Search Engine Company" wants to deanonymize and link yo

That's true. This is the same as Tor in the sense that if multiple parties collude, you can be de-anonymized.

End to end encrypted means this here: [Client] ---> [Private.sh] ---> [Gigablast] In the above diagram, [Private.sh] cannot see the search query. Thus, it's end to end encrypted. Private.sh is the "signal server" in t

In this case, the only way to be sure of this is to use the private.sh extension[1] which has the public key hardcoded in and is being served by google and mozilla. [1] https://private.sh/extension.html

This is absolutely end to end encrypted. A proxy can only strip the IP. The NaCl client side encryption deployed on private.sh is what makes this end to end. The client encrypts the search query with the public key of gigablast. The prox

DDG is a great search engine. I trust they do not log and maintain privacy. One entity needs to be trusted. That being said, with the private.sh offering, it requires two entities to collude to identify users. Thus, it does provide more g

Great question. If you review the javascript, NaCl is used to encrypted the search query before giving it to private.sh. Thus, private.sh is unable to decrypt your search. The search provider uses NaCl to decrypt the search query and then

You can use the private.sh extension [1][2] to ensure that private.sh isn't doing anything fishy. The public key of Gigablast is hardcoded in and the assets are served by a third party. [1] https://chrome.google.com/we

The search (where decryption takes place) is controlled by GigaBlast.com.

The javascript source should show you that it's being encrypted -- and the proxy is under our control, the search engine is not.

You may be on to something here. In the past, most search engines started from DMOZ (now defunct) which was a simple, curated, directory.
