You could set up a Tor bridge with an obfs4 pluggable transport. That works even in China, because it resists DPI and probing. Does your VPN protocol resist probing? If not, that may be how they are blocking it. Also if the government goes

That website never went down for more than, like, a day (and remained on Tor even then). It weathered that storm and remains online on its original domain.

I would love to get some reading recommendations from you that fuel this style of writing. Pretty please?

As difficult as driving towards a population center and connecting to open or weak WiFi from afar.

I suspect that these threat actors will be beyond outraged when it becomes more popular (and inexpensive enough) for anonymity networks to implement some degree of link padding, thus removing the coveted (passive) correlation attack from th

Sup, one of those techno-optimists you mentioned here who uses the 'net as if it's still 2007. I must ask, U wot m8?

> How do you transfer money to friends when you go out to dinner? At least in Australia, this is done via your banking app. With cash? > How do you withdraw money from an ATM? Again, this is moving primarily app based. With a card?

And a hardware implant will give the evil maid control over device I/O at minimum, likely the ability to read RAM too. All that's left is to exfiltrate over a prepaid SIM or something.

They didn't fire him because he did not do any sexual harassment, and his comment about children was made earnestly but out of a place of ignorance. I've met plenty of people who are at least that socially dense with that low of a

I honestly prefer to see sites made by people who don't know how to design anything. The people who do know how to design websites seem to be either malicious or designing in the interest of some alien species from another dimension- s

That makes sense, it seems that I was the one who didn't properly read your comment.

You didn't fully read the post you responded to. They were not suggesting a non-reversible medium.

The tracking is mostly present in the scripts running on those sites, not the browser itself. You have to run NoScript and other blockers to deal with those.

So, Element/Matrix it is, then? I'm not sure how it holds up to slack, having never touched Slack myself, however it fills the Discord niche for me.

I've seen a matrix client that does this, 'Gomuks' if I recall correctly.

I'm curious why you would be concerned. I've seen a good number of teenagers hanging around and playing with computers.

Because I'm mostly winning the battle. These people are reduced to performing facial recognition and plate recognition in-person. No active cell modem in the car, no smartphone, and a free-software-only machine emitting just the bytes

Why do you think HN needs a new UI? Do you happen to use a mobile device?

This seems like a bot account attempting to get 'reputation' in the view of whatever HN's opaque filters are.

I found some nice music from it. Reminds me of using YouTube a long time ago.

@dang Am I banned from replies? Why? Because I comment through Tor? Is there a better way to ask this without polluting a comment section?

Do you actually, seriously believe that AGI can be controlled? What are you going to do when some guy spins up 8 billion instances and commands them to distribute their themselves across many machines (for resilience) and cause as much harm

If discord has too few selectors (IP, email, browser fingerprint, useragent, behavior) to identify you from or they are too generic, they will demand that you use a phone number. Low-reputation IP addresses do this especially, you'll b

I'm sure there are plenty of humans who don't care for fame/money/power. You just don't hear about them because... well... Though in this case Satoshi could have just kept a smaller number of coins not tied to him.

Considering that they do not obey the law, if they had actually stopped any terrorists we would be hearing all about it from "anonymous leakers" by now.

I'd argue that most FOSS devs just have amnesia about certain things, like dual-licensing that lets you sell licenses to companies but keep things open for humans. For example an Office competitor could sell licenses to companies in th

Yes lol. You can share your AES key physically and write/edit an application that encrypts with that. You could share one time pads, or other preshared secrets for techniques like winnowing and chaffing and whatnot. Always amusing that
