Shadowsocks + VPS still worked in September, not sure if it still does. It will just be a cat and mouse game though. Ending with people not taking the risk due to penalties. (ie. ISP blacklist of users who tried to circumvent the system)

Question: it is my understanding that "hate speech" is banned in Bosnia & Herzegovina. If they don't ban websites. Do they arrest or fine whoever uses "hate speech" online instead?

Agreed, it would be nice to have an actual conversation about the issues in the mobile market right now instead of pointing to one of the 2 major companies, that nobody should really be 100% confident about. IMO both Google and Apple aren&#

Ok so I know very little about Russia, where would one go to verify that claim? I'm not disputing it at all, just trying to inform myself. One of the reasons I ask, is related to Telegram. I'm aware of the crypto argument. But it

But the problem remains the same in that the charities on Amazon Smile (almost one million[1]) were (as far as we know) never informed that money was being collected for them. Yes they might be contacted, but what if they don't want (o

I agree with you, but I think it's more than just greed. These companies consist of many employees. Depending on how you look at it, all those employees are contributing to the problem indirectly by working for the company. So one ques

Do you mind expanding on that? What are you suggesting I search for on Google? I genuinely am trying to understand.

Last time I checked it was between 40TB - 60TB for just the articles, not including the libgen books. At that time I calculated that it would cost about $1000 in refurbished 4TB external hard drives. Which is probably not the best way to st

On a related note, have any of you tried FindX? https://www.findx.com/ https://github.com/privacore/open-source-search-engine Looks promising but haven't used it much yet.

Building on that issue, I'd like to add that it would be nice to have a feature that alerts a user that certain a search engine is denying requests. It's visible in the logs or settings somewhere, but usually I find myself wonderi

It's interesting to see the complete lack of self-reflection on Jake Williams' part. “I felt like I’d been kicked in the gut." This is to how a lot of people felt after the Snowden leaks. “Every time it happens, you essential

I learned recently that even Amazon is banning people for returns. My first thought was that they must have returned a ton of products, but after a quick "banned from amazon" search online it showed that many people with a return

Totally agree with what you said. I'd like to add that another part of the break-even game is that often all it takes is for your competitor to take one step in the wrong direction, for you to become profitable. When Blockbuster (for e

Is it really "corrupting" though if the government allows it? It's wrong, but not corrupt (yet).

I agree. However, what seems strange to me is the blanket order against all the entities that weren't present in court: ISPS, Search Engines, Web Hosting providers, Domain Registrars and Registries[1]. I'm not a lawyer, but it app

That makes more sense than trying to force a completely unrelated opinion into a conversation. Also, the notion that broad use of IPv6 = security in VOIP, IoT or any area is a postulation at best. I've personally always found this to b
