@nep@rape.pet @Jazzy_Butts@gameliberty.club I've been thinking of a sort of friend to friend onion routing system that takes advantage of the small world phenomenon to route you to people via intermediaries you know and trust. if you have enough density it should theoretically work. then the biggest risk is your friend's computer getting hacked and malware tracking things.

@foxlolihina @Jazzy_Butts Frankly, trusting anyone for anything illegal is a liability by itself so that would pretty much be a non starter, true security requires assuming every single entity you interact with is actively trying to attack you and acting accordingly

@nep @foxlolihina @Jazzy_Butts yep, trust them to be what they are.
If they don't benefit according to the way you engage with them then assume they're not going to help at the minimum.
What I mean is an encrypted service would lose all credibility of suddenly all the bad (air quotes) people using it miraculously got caught.
So they must secure your privacy or they're hurting themselves.
If they don't benefit (like they're not making privacy claims for example) then the VERY least you can expect is they'll do nothing to help you and are probably acting against you

@nep @foxlolihina Y-You stopped following me sophia did I offend you over the last few months T-T

@Jazzy_Butts @foxlolihina following someone just means i want to see their posts more, so not following someone just means i don't care about whether i see their posts more or not, it's not a personal matter lol

@nep @foxlolihina @Jazzy_Butts that's how my following works

@nep @foxlolihina Oh ok I thought it meant you disliked me I still wonder, is it the porn I retoot? Or my rants?

@Jazzy_Butts @foxlolihina it's not that deep lol

@nep @foxlolihina That's what they always say when they're dunking on you T-T <3

@nep @foxlolihina I don't mean this as like a burn but like a "you're dunking on me I think T-T"

@nep @Jazzy_Butts do they not?

At the end of the day, Tor is an NSA/CIA invention, and they've been cracking down hard

@SaulofTarsus @Jazzy_Butts "do they not?" is not coherent with what it's in reply to, so it has no answer

>At the end of the day, Tor is an NSA/CIA invention, and they've been cracking down hard

HTTP is a CERN invention, that doesn't mean CERN can arbitrarily track all HTTP requests anyone ever makes

that is to say, when something is an open standard (or open source project, same idea), who develops or developed it is completely meaningless, the standard/project can be analyzed entirely by itself

so, if you think c-tor is intentionally vulnerable, please point out where in the code that is the case, and if you think the tor specification itself is, point that out too

@nep I did not know that! Thankyou! Good info!
