itchy_lizard,

Flatpaks are insecure by design as they don’t cryptographically verify their authenticity after download. Snaps too.

Install with a proper package manager that was designed doe security. Most OS package managers are designed with this.

itchy_lizard,

Flatpaks are not secure. Please don’t spread misinformation.

itchy_lizard,

You know they flatpaks doesn’t verify the packages it downloads from your “trusted” repository, right?

itchy_lizard,

You can sign AppImages.

itchy_lizard,

I don’t think that’s legal.

itchy_lizard,

Some travel agencies accept currencies that the airlines don’t.

I’ve had horrible issues with payments getting denied when trying to buy flights abroad before, so now I buy through a travel agent so I can pay with Bitcoin. No more false-positive fraud detectors blocking my purchase, since Bitcoin is permissionless.

itchy_lizard,

You’re looking at it from the wrong end.

In fact, the international intelligence community is helping me to launder my drug purchasing traffic.

itchy_lizard,

No, bridges are meant to bypass censorship

itchy_lizard,

I don’t think a single credible source has shown this to be a vulnerability. You’re talking about an attack that would cost, what, millions of dollars to run per day?

itchy_lizard,

Yes, that’s the point.

itchy_lizard,

There are many use-cases for Tor. One is anonymity. One is to bypass censorship. The most popular website on the darknet is Facebook.

It doesn’t “defeat the purpose” of using Tor in Tibet to access a Facebook page.

itchy_lizard,

Yeah, we need to make it illegal to block someone from doing a simple GET request just because they’re using a privacy tool.

It should only be legal to block access based on how you act, not based on how you look.

itchy_lizard,

The US government would never allow Tor to die. They need it to conduct terrorism cyberwarfare

itchy_lizard,

Yes. Alec Muffett was the guy who setup the most popular Tor darkent site: Facebook. I think he did Twitter’s too. He maintains an excellent list.

How do you deal with the logs on your servers?

I’m pretty new to selfhosting, but one thing that I know to take seriously is log collection. Since there are a lot of different type of logs (kernel log, application logs, etc) and logs come in many different formats (binary, json, strings) - it’s no easy task to collect them centrally and look through them whenever...

itchy_lizard,

Windows XP is great and I’ll never upgrade my blood pressure machine from it.

My Opinion: NewPipe, Piped, Invidious, etc's days are numbered.

With Reddit shutting down its API setting a precedent in the corporate tech world (and Reddit was a major outlier in that a ton of their users are technical minded and support third party clients, YouTube does not have that kind of userbase and will not get backlash for it), Twitter doing whatever the fuck they’re doing, and...

itchy_lizard,

You think YouTube will stop Tor users? That’s blocking them from hundreds of millions of users whose internet blocks YouTube without TorBrowseer.

Don’t worry, big evil corporations wouldn’t shut out such huge market segments.

itchy_lizard,

That’s what’s called a visa.

Even today you need a visa. You get that visa on arrival.

itchy_lizard,

Dunno, I don’t use shitty apps that aren’t available in F-Droid and I’m all the better for it.

itchy_lizard,

Yes, we need to pass laws that prevent companies from blocking access to their services on the basis of using privacy tools. Basically apps should be able to run on any customised client device and they should only legally able to say “no” if my session is clearly demonstrating malicious interactions.

We need better consumer protection laws.

itchy_lizard,

Dunno, I love my reusable airhorn when a car cuts me off

itchy_lizard,

You haven’t been to India. Youre supposed to honk when you go around a turn or approach an intersection. You’re supposed to honk when passing or turning.

If you’re driving at night in a residential area and not honking constantly, the cops will look at you as suspicious.

itchy_lizard,

Nah, it’s too restrictive of my breathing.
