Nah. The natural pivot is from “we have never observed abiogenesis” to “see? Life required a creator.” You can’t win

They terminate TLS. It seems like you wouldn’t want to use this service even if all those questions were answered to your satisfaction.

Not disagreeing, just elaborating, about “fine” Chinese Amazon tools. I needed safety wire pliers to assemble some brake rotors. The metal in the ones I got on Amazon was softer th…

Tup. https://gittup.org/tup/ https://gittup.org/tup/make_vs_tup.html But the Internet’s make mind-share means you still have to know make. Edit: and make lets you use make to essen…

Yup. +1 for fossil. I wanted an issue tracker that wasn’t text files in the repo. Lots of git-based things that were heavier (gitea and friends) or hackier than I wanted. Decided t…

So cut those people. They will continue to be a problem. Can’t fire them because of the rights of federal employees? Get the law changed. Actually solve an actual problem, not wave…

Subsonic and airsonic (the latter is a fork of the former).

Exactly. “Unsolvable” is a strong word, but … how wrong is it? Shrug.

Before clicking the link or seeing the domain, I was expecting either a rehashed (or if I was optimistic: a novel) argument for why what LE does isn’t actually validating domains. …

My comment is strictly about exit nodes which are not used as part of connecting to onion services. Ignoring TLS errors might mean you’re ignoring the fact your exit relay is MitM …

The job these days is boring but secure. Tor stuff was more exciting, then I switched teams because grass-is-greener. At least for the teams I have been on and my view of leadershi…

Yes timing attacks. And yeah mitigation gets you into a huge body of research that’s inconclusive on practical usability. Eg so much overhead that it’s too slow and 10 people can u…

Clients aren’t necessarily good relays. Reachability. Bandwidth. Uptime. I’ll-go-to-prison-if-caught-and-idk-how-to-change-settings-this-needs-to-just-work.

Unfortunately the tor part is the part I can most obviously talk about. Not that I work on anything classified. I just need to be mindful. I got to travel to Canada, Mexico, and Eu…

Sorry that it is hard to find. This is the root link to point you towards. https://community.torproject.org/relay/ Thanks for considering to run a relay.

If you’re advocating for a bigger network… we need more relay operators. Can’t wave a magic wand. There’s like 8000 relays. Haven’t looked in a while. Or if you were arguing for in…

Tor was literally developed by the Naval Research Lab. Not a part of the IC. I know because I work there. AMA (edit: about tor. Because people say a lot about it without actually k…

It’s then best we’ve got for achieving actually meaningful privacy and anonymity. It has a huge body of research behind it that is regularly ignored by those coming up with sexy or…

Depends on the content of your traffic. If “deanonymize” strictly means perform a timing attack using info you have from the beginning and end of the circuit, then by definition yo…

Monitoring exits is completely irrelevant to onion services, in fact. Completely. Exits aren’t a part of the circuit. Ever.

“The western governments run most of the exits” is one of those things everybody “knows” but rarely backs up. The list of all relays is public knowledge by design. There’s contact …

I think their point is that no matter how secure your base password is, once one site leaks it, the bad guy basically knows your password to every site.
