@koenvh #FunFact: THIS is actually real when it comes to #OnionServices on #Tor / @torproject despite (or rather because of) having a self-routing and self-administrating, self-authentificating namespace utilizing #Pubkeys for addressing.

Mine merely covers a few #BonaFide ones and there are literal #scam businesses when it comes to the kinds of sites I won't name nor list!

This is a list of substantial, commercial-or-social-good mainstream websites which provide onion services. - alecmuffett/real-world-onion-sites

@JessTheUnstill @bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @tomiahonen @fuchsiii

Granted, @tails_live @tails / #Tails and @torproject / #TorBrowser are propably one of the best & most battle-tested options that are useable for #TechIlliterates...

THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!

If not for being absurd then for the fact that people need to get things done!

  • And it's not as if I haven't taught people how to get started, ranging from having to crash-course someone remotely via chat to hand-on #CryptoParty sessions: If it's way more complex than an AKM chances are people won't stick with it!

So you can imagine how glad I was when @thunderbird merged #Enigmail into #Thunderbird so there's no more fiddling around getting #PGP/MIME to work!

@JessTheUnstill @bohwaz @punkfairie @ajsadauskas @tomiahonen @fuchsiii Exactly...

Coincidentially, that's why #Android (and #iOS) doesn't let users have #root access because billions of devices owned by mostly "#TechIlliterates" that hardly get #SecurityUpdates would be an even bigger risk if they didn't boot a locked-down #ROM image, thus only allowing for #malware in user-privilegued userspace!

Cuz having a mobile OS that shoves everything through #Tor and only allows #userspace-Apps in the form modern web technologies would be a big #security and #privacy gain.

  • Not to mention #amd64 is on it's way out and inevitably they gotta have to transition to supporting #arm64 and eventually #RISCv-#64bit at some point.

This sound interesting. #ChrisHedges talks to Yasha Levine about how the internet, from its inception, was created as a tool of mass surveillance.

Reblog.🙏

#Trump ha interrotto i fondi destinati all’Open Technology Fund, un ente che da oltre un decennio finanzia strumenti digitali per la libertà online.
Questi fondi rappresentano la quasi totalità del budget dell'#OTF e sono essenziali per il sostegno di numerosi progetti, tra cui #Let'sEncrypt, la rete di anonimizzazione #Tor e il negozio di applicazioni open-source #F-Droid, che l’anno scorso hanno ricevuto rispettivamente 800mila, 500mila e 396mila dollari.🤦‍♂️

@cadey My thoughts on #Anubis after encountering it multiple times as a user:
* mascot is nice, creative and intuitive to understand
* as a user of tor it works! cloudflare and others reject me as a bot, but anubis left me through, thank you
* onion services do not require anubis protection, though, right? Since they have their own proof of work system integrated by default …
