You don't even need to do that. Just have people opt in for NSFW content on their accounts. Leave them opted out by default (or public). There is no reason it shouldn't be a human …

> I can understand it may be the right approach from a day-to-day IT management perspective, but I'm not so sure it's the most viable path towards better security long-term. Yeah, …

No VPN can reliably anonymize you against government agents so I think the con is a non-issue. VPNs are only really useful when the local network is hostile and/or you want some de…

Now, now. I assure you once the permitting issue is resolved I'll deliver your bridge. I just need another $10,000 :p

Buy parts and run your own firewall/dns setup to drop anything odd. Its honestly the only way to be "sure" if worry about a manufacturer doing that sort of thing. It won't be perfe…

Valid point. https://github.com/HainaLi/horcrux_password_manager It is in JS at least. Underhanded C is likely an easier trick to manage.

For purposes of security paranoia, if you can perform a security audit on open source code it is just as good as any other code you've written. Idk about other people but I find an…

If you can audit the code yourself, you can treat it as code you authored. (assuming you are competent to perform the audit)

And this is why we need online anonymity, to be perfectly honest. Its too dangerous to be honest under you real name and has been for years. Its alot like Roko's basilisk that way.…

To be fair, doing so would require a bunch of cache invalidations and they've always barely had enough money to limp on to the next investor. It would also likely be abused. Its qu…

Yeah but tbh, its still not e2e encrypted. It just means WhatsApp is ignorant. So they are in the clear legally, but morally, its still dubious to do that given its effectively dis…

I don't have a FB account.

I use the San Jose facility for my Linodes. I haven't had a problem since the rolling power outages years ago where Hurricane Electric's backup power failed to kick in.

It terms of a hostile 3rd party and not an automated system? 5 times. Snoopy relatives of women I have dated a couple times, a couple times by PIs paid to track me down, and a stal…

I know it's probably out of your hands but if you could AGPL the codebase, pitch decks, etc. It would be wonderful to help ppl learn, if nothing else.

Honestly, I am more worried about the fact HN seems oblivious to the fact Twitter was being used as a targeted propaganda system by a foreign government than I am of censorship in …

Hey, if you want to legalize government propaganda go ahead. It's pretty clear sunlight is an ineffective disinfectant in that scenario.
