Thank you for that tip! I’ll scratch out my Tesla battery idea, this seems much cheaper than that, and much easier ignition than my nanothermite FireSuit™ idea. Much easier to obtain raw components from AliExpress as well.
There are a ton of obfuscating protocols that a VPN can run. obfs is one of the most popular. You can configure your VPN to appear as basically any traffic. HTTPS, DNS, QUIK.
Part of the point of a VPN is there’s not a dedicated IP tied to you (or at least tying all of your activity together). That doesn’t provide any benefit besides a corporate/government firewall bypass unless a mass of people are using your server.
Yes, but with the amount of darknet markets and CSAM hidden services that have been taken down within a relatively short span of time compared to the last decade of tor’s more widespread history, it seems they may have a new vulnerability (or perhaps just a new covert post-snowden-acceptance surveillance court ruling) that allows them to identify hidden services real IP addresses. It’s speculation, but they wouldn’t use it bluntly or everyone would know there was a vulnerability and thousands more eyes would be on the tor code (or awareness of nation-state level traffic omniscience in the case of something as simple as a timing attack). A CSAM hidden service has been run by the federal governments of a few countries, so there’s no question of ethics or law in that case.
I almost never trust any site that advertises any kind of VPN service (it’s always ranked by the best paying referrals) but this mirrors what I’ve seen in discussions.
Preferred VPN Choice: The general consensus among VPN users in China is that Astrill VPN is the most reliable option. However, it’s an incredibly expensive VPN, so it’s worth trying other cheaper options first. Surfshark is our top choice for best VPN for China as it has a solid reputation for working in the country while also offering affordable plans.
Alternative VPN Options: Other good options for China include CyberGhost, Proton VPN, Widscribe and Mullvad. NordVPN is also an option, but it’s not as reliable in China as the other six, so we only recommend it if you already have an account.
Censorship Evasion Strategy: Since VPNs are in a running battle with censorship, we recommend subscribing to multiple VPNs to ensure you have coverage at all times. No matter which VPNs you use, make sure you download them before going to China, as the download pages are often blocked.
Nope, that’s literally what onion routing is about in case you aren’t being facetious. It’s in the whitepaper and in the code. It’s also in the Snowden leaks.
Edit: Lemmy doesn’t allow direct image posting anymore?
Of course that was a long time ago, and hidden services may be much more easily compromised now. And they’ll always have their precious 0days. Don’t traffick kids, terrorism, or ounces of pure fentanyl and tor will work just fine for you.
I own Stardew Valley but I am avoiding using the Google Play store when possible. While I could just sign into Aurora Store with my Google account I think I’d need to install Google Play Services so I am wondering if I could crack the game myself. I think in the past people used Lucky Patcher but I have tried it with other...
GeapheneOS (Pixel only) has sandboxed play services by default, with controls over location data, etc. Not sure if that’s what you’re after but I thought I’d mention it.
I have noticed that some CAPTCHA pages, like Cloudflare’s, simply ask you to check a box to proceed. There is no clicking on traffic lights or entering characters. How does clicking on a check box tell them I am not a robot?
And, cloudflare creates a proxy (including it’s own SSL certificate by default!) between you and every cloudflare site. So they’re able to see all data, even on https secured pages.
All of that is taken care of with tor browser. It’s a modified version of Firefox writes nothing to disk. There are a few hidden places in the OS itself where some random memory might get stored until reboot or an app switch thumbnail, but with a reboot they should be 99.999% good to go even with forensic analysis.
Republican traitor filth - 1 result, on a site that looks like it belongs shelved away in an astroturf network. I’ll check that search result again in a week.
90% of Republicans are “Republican” in the same way that 90% of people who celebrate Christmas are Christian.
There was a minority (as far as total number of Republicans) of extremists at the capital as there are extremists in every group. But it’s funny that every one of those people seemed to be consuming and sharing Russian propaganda on social media. And Fox/Tucker Carlson and other complicit news agencies with the buildup.
It’s laughable the older I get seeing how many useful idiots there are. Including comrade cabron up there ^ either working for them, or chasing their carrot.
I say we execute all extremists in Minecraft. Problem solved for at least one generation.
I kid, violence against extremists creates even bigger violence. But soon the internet will be sectioned off by country or countries. Russia, China, Iran and many other middle eastern countries are already doing it. And everyone will be happier… for a while.
Where can you see the upvotes/downvote userlist of a comment on Lemmy? This comment has 21 upvotes as I write this.
Did you just comment basically the same thing in another thread? “republican traitor filfth”? or is that some new talking point when it comes to Russia? To automatically make anyone think everyone who votes Republican is a horrible traitor (I’m not, many fine people around me are)?
Oh man I miss the calm of non US-election-season internet. No astroturfing.
I don’t need to read someone’s both-sides (or single-sided anger baiting) comment history to see the propa glow (or the drunken red chubby cheeks of useful idiocy).
Edit: but now that I have, it’s random American pop culture with vile hatefilth every few posts. I always should give the usual idiots the benefit of the doubt, because it turns out it was you that was posting “traitorous Republican filth” all over which prompted my original comment. How nice.

So, I bought a Google Pixel 7a. I ordered it from Prime Gadgets, through skroutz.gr (I live in Greece). Ever since I placed that order, it’s been on “To be sent” for several days. To make matters worse, yesterday, the ETA changed from (22-2-2024 to 26-2-2024) to (23-2-2024 to 26-2-2024). What should I do?...
I love hearing about how other cultures work. I have a question because this is a point of contention with me and our banking system.
If you have 5.000 DKK in your bank account and buy something worth 6.000 DKK, does your bank allow the charge to go through? If it does, are you charged large fees? How does that work?
Semi-related but not exactly… In the US when a company puts a hold charge on your debit card, depending on what it’s for, it’s usually for more than the amount than is being paid, I believe, then they refund/unhold the rest when the charge goes through. I may not be accurate in this because I only have it happen at gas stations. You have to have minimum $170 in your account to pay at the pump. Otherwise you have to go inside and pay without a hold.
Someone else from the US correct me if I’m wrong please.
She used her car wreck claim from the year prior as a way to get disability payments. It’s right there in the short article.
Car wreck in 2017. Tree throwing contest in 2018.
The court had previously been told that the married mother-of-two, from Ennis in Co Clare, had spoken to doctors days after winning the Christmas tree-throwing contest.
She had claimed that she could no longer lift a heavy bag without suffering a shooting pain. Grabska quit her job and received disability payments, the court heard.
