How does this affect old YouTube videos (and possibly other historical public content)? (obviously, save everything you love while you still can in case things get removed or diffi…

The idea is you connect to the wireguard UDP port from one of the obfuscation tunnels. laptop -> obfuscation tunnel (udp2raw/iodine/ssh/tor/wstunnel/etc.) -> wireguard UDP port. Th…

Their point I think is that often (to varying degrees), 'power user' things are less convenient to do or behind configuration options or menus and so on nowadays.

I think this is a good thing. Apply obfuscation on top of WireGuard, that way you can have the functionality and security of the WireGuard tunnel and swap between different obfusca…

No. https://www.wireguard.com/known-limitations/ >Deep Packet Inspection >WireGuard does not focus on obfuscation. Obfuscation, rather, should happen at a layer above WireGuard, wi…

I disagree. I think it's good that implementing a secure network tunnel and obfuscation are separate. WireGuard can handle the secure tunnel functionality while I can apply any sor…

I don't want to revoke a key to test but I'm pretty sure that just sets the port in the Endpoint part of the WireGuard config file. (the port you use to connect, for if the regular…

You forget that some people like general purpose computing. Android and other mobile operating systems (as well as Chrome OS) do have great security, but that comes at the expense …

Another term I've seen used is "traditional Linux distributions" as opposed to locked-down/less general purpose like Android and Chrome OS.

Well, Alpine wouldn't fit that definition but is still a user-controlled Linux.

>We should not destroy the entire internet to protect/increase adtech profits. Yeah, ideally businesses wouldn't be built on this model (free service funded by ads at the expense o…

>To prevent ad fraud either you need to increase the fingerprintablity of users on the web, violating people's privacy, or implemented a form of remote attestation, which protects …

When the alternative is sacrificing privacy or anonymity, I think it's at least useful, even if not ideal given the current energy situation.

I think in internal environments like within a company it's fine. Just not in the public, user-facing web.

>Can someone give a counter argument of how this might benefit the users themselves? Remote attestation might reduce the amount of cheaters in games and fraud in banks if implement…

Is there really much browsers can do to actually effectively restrict fingerprinting without going all out like Tor Browser? WEI may disincentivize websites to not use fingerprinti…

Tor Browser defaults to JS enabled.

Yeah, I think there's just a disconnect in culture. Making IRC more viable towards those who like Discord etc. would fundamentally change and ruin it for many who like IRC. And vic…

>Go ahead and create 1 account per 1 server, nothing prevents you. Doesn't having to give up a phone number for each account (and you can't use the same number on different account…

I use it for just about everything except for things tied to IRL identities. (short-lived usage like making a search request, to persistent identities like this) Some services bloc…

i2p is an alternative with its main focus on hidden services rather than outproxying to the regular net, that seems to be somewhat used with torrents.

Yeah, I'm disappointed there's no permission toggle so that I could have javascript-based clipboard setting behind a prompt on most websites and have exceptions for others.

Bash also buffers pasted content.

>You can. It's just that no browser that supports HTTP/3 will accept it as a legit endpoint with a valid root. So they won't connect to the HTTP/3 endpoint at all and you won't be …

yeah, I liked being able to archive and scrape web content with yt-dlp, gallery-dl, and similar tools
