Nah. The natural pivot is from “we have never observed abiogenesis” to “see? Life required a creator.” You can’t win

They terminate TLS. It seems like you wouldn’t want to use this service even if all those questions were answered to your satisfaction.

Not disagreeing, just elaborating, about “fine” Chinese Amazon tools. I needed safety wire pliers to assemble some brake rotors. The metal in the ones I got on Amazon was softer than the metal wire they came with such that the cutting edg

Yup. +1 for fossil. I wanted an issue tracker that wasn’t text files in the repo. Lots of git-based things that were heavier (gitea and friends) or hackier than I wanted. Decided to finally try out fossil and I think it’s really really neat

So cut those people. They will continue to be a problem. Can’t fire them because of the rights of federal employees? Get the law changed. Actually solve an actual problem, not wave a machete around cutting the government in half.

Exactly. “Unsolvable” is a strong word, but … how wrong is it? Shrug.

Before clicking the link or seeing the domain, I was expecting either a rehashed (or if I was optimistic: a novel) argument for why what LE does isn’t actually validating domains. Philosophically or technically. For example: they don’t vali

My comment is strictly about exit nodes which are not used as part of connecting to onion services. Ignoring TLS errors might mean you’re ignoring the fact your exit relay is MitM attacking you.

The job these days is boring but secure. Tor stuff was more exciting, then I switched teams because grass-is-greener. At least for the teams I have been on and my view of leadership, there is very little political talk. But patriotism isn’t

Yes timing attacks. And yeah mitigation gets you into a huge body of research that’s inconclusive on practical usability. Eg so much overhead that it’s too slow and 10 people can use a 1000 relay network and still get just 1 Mbps goodput ea

Unfortunately the tor part is the part I can most obviously talk about. Not that I work on anything classified. I just need to be mindful. I got to travel to Canada, Mexico, and Europe (from the US) for tor meetings and privacy-enhancing te

Sorry that it is hard to find. This is the root link to point you towards. https://community.torproject.org/relay/ Thanks for considering to run a relay.

If you’re advocating for a bigger network… we need more relay operators. Can’t wave a magic wand. There’s like 8000 relays. Haven’t looked in a while. Or if you were arguing for increasing the number of relays in a circuit, that doesn’t inc

Tor was literally developed by the Naval Research Lab. Not a part of the IC. I know because I work there. AMA (edit: about tor. Because people say a lot about it without actually knowing much. But now I should put my phone down so… too late

It’s then best we’ve got for achieving actually meaningful privacy and anonymity. It has a huge body of research behind it that is regularly ignored by those coming up with sexy or off-the-cuff alternatives. It’s the most popular so it gets

Depends on the content of your traffic. If “deanonymize” strictly means perform a timing attack using info you have from the beginning and end of the circuit, then by definition you’re correct. But if you visit an identifying set of website

Monitoring exits is completely irrelevant to onion services, in fact. Completely. Exits aren’t a part of the circuit. Ever.

“The western governments run most of the exits” is one of those things everybody “knows” but rarely backs up. The list of all relays is public knowledge by design. There’s contact information attached to relays. The big operators are known

I think their point is that no matter how secure your base password is, once one site leaks it, the bad guy basically knows your password to every site.

It would also be very annoying at home games. It would take a special group of friends to tolerate or even get a kick out of how optimally you’ve solved a self-imposed problem. It’s a fun mental exercise and programming problem, but that’s

Put the overage in the safe. I’m sure the exact policy adopted, if any, depends on a number of factors such as how often cash is used and typical purchase size.

Places don’t like to accept them. - buy a pack of gum with a counterfeit $100, get 98 real dollars back - even with legit currency, it can throw off the drawer. Business might have a policy for cashiers to never have more than, say, $200 in

Yeah. Mullvad. Actually good too. Something like $5.30/mo (forever). They take literal cash (as one of the options). WireGuard support. They actually do privacy, not just market it. Edited to fix price estimate and clarify it isn’t ju
