So wait, this doesn’t actually send anything through the NSA does it?

They should keep it and encourage those to use it who advocate for backdoors in software.

With the IP address being 127.0.0.1 and the TLS certificate hash being the hash of "April fool", is it very unlikely :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I mean, it's probably an April Fools' Day joke. However, for the person who committed it (who lives in France), it was not April 1st, as far as I'm aware.

I'm just saying, in the age of globalization, it makes sense to push out your April Fools' joke once it hits April 1st somewhere.

april fools commits, in THIS economy?

In some ways, the NSA is actually not a bad choice: it's constitutionally required to uphold free speech (can't censor anything), and I don't think it can sell your data to advertisers either. And, the NSA can collect your data anyway from US based providers via PRISM or NSLs. The main risk is it creating a MITM.

When I was first diagnosed with my tumors, it was a 3-4 day scanning process. A year later NIH said we could go to an MRI and do the same. I'll probably get this at some point.

This may increase your Internet speed too since they won’t have to do an extra hop to intercept all of your traffic
