@noorul Oh! Yes. I've gotta stop posting while sleep deprived. Don't ever use #BitTorrent through #Tor! It's akin to downloading a 1.5GB movie on someone's $1/MB dial-up connection. How rude! Do use a #VPN though if you can. They're cool. Like fezes ;)

@noorul @joshim AFAIK that's also a concern with any other tech that uses #BitTorrent protocols. If it's something you're concerned about, I guess you can use a #VPN? Or maybe #Tor?

@tim Spain, but browsing through #Tor, usually. That's a shame. Smokey is a good listen, pretty much always. Here's another one that expresses the sentiment: https://hooktube.com/watch?v=PssFhERkTNs

Protip to make unsuspecting people think you're doing something important:
Browse the web with Tor and keep open a terminal window running "tail -f /var/log/tor/debug.log"

TFW when the local WiFi blocks client-to-client connections, so you're SSH'ing between two side-by-side machines via sshd exposed as a Tor Hidden Service...

A data only Sim card which won't function unless it's through #Tor. Genius idea for the #privacy conscious folks out there! #infosec #security

It drives me crazy when sites block access via #Tor to read-only resources (like articles)---it doesn't make much sense to me. It's probably a quick decision by a team of people that don't really care or think about it, but it has strong effects that in the best case discourage use of an important privacy/anonymity tool, and in the worst case outright prevent certain users from accessing those resources (if Tor is their only option).
A common workaround I use is to prepend "https://web.archive.org/" to the URL to load it in the #WaybackMachine from the Internet Archive. Sometimes websites block even that.
The Internet Archive does great, important work, btw. Here's a recent article that emphasizes some of the major problems they're solving:

Hello folks! Gibberfish was founded two years ago to bring private, decentralized services to people who need them. We provide private cloud servers to other nonprofits at no charge. We also run a bunch of free, anonymous, public services, including this pod. While we're very happy to be doing this work, it's expensive to maintain. Since we started, I and my fellow founders have poured thousands of our own dollars into the project. Unfortunately, this is not sustainable. So, here is our ask:
If you use our Diaspora* pod, our chat server, our anonymous search engine, or any of our other services, please reflect on their value to you and to the online community. If you feel that it's worth $1 per month, please consider supporting us on an ongoing basis on Patreon.
If you're already a Patreon user, it's only a couple of clicks. If you don't wish to use Patreon, please visit our website for other ways to donate. If we can reach a level where we can reliably cover our monthly operating costs, we will be able to add extra capacity to improve our existing services, as well as offer new ones. Please feel free to make suggestions.
Thank you for being awesome. Please share this post.
Sincerely,
@[Brian Ó 🐟](/u/blacksam)

Ich überlege ob ich einen #Raspberry-Pi mit #TOR konfigge und als #Exit nutze. Wäre das sinnvoll? Was für Alternative gäbe es?

This article is popular right now on HN:
https://pxlnv.com/blog/bullshit-web/
It's something that many of us have been saying for many years. But I've been largely insulated from it: I have blocked all scripts and ads (for privacy and security reasons, but also because most sites serve proprietary JavaScript code) for years. If it weren't for my research (https://mikegerwitz.com/talks), I wouldn't have realized just how bad it has become.
I've also run all my browsing through #Tor for years. And what this article reminds me of (but does not mention; this is unrelated) is how Tor used to be so painfully slow---worse than dialup. It has improved drastically over the years, but by design, it's always going to be slower than directly connecting to a webserver.
But despite that, websites often finish loading for me much faster than those who use the "normal" web over a normal connection, because it's not loading so much shit. That also allows me to stick to <256MiB of data per month on my mobile plan, despite browsing sites linked to on HN and despite the extra packets from Tor itself. (Btw, text.npr.org is great, for those who didn't know of it.)
The very things that got me downvoted into oblivion on HN years ago are now the popular, obvious things. Why do things have to get so _bad_ before most people begin to care? -

FSFE Berlin
Zwiebelsuppe
Am Donnerstag, den 26. Juli findet das nächste Treffen der berliner Unterstützer*innen der FSFE https://libranet.de/redir/99138?url=display/0b6b25a8195b555ae3abb6c648430309 statt.
Aus aktuellem Anlass möchten wir das Treffen den Zwiebelfreunden https://www.zwiebelfreunde.de/ widmen.
Nicht nur weil die #Zwiebelfreunde als gemeinnütziger Verein Technologie und Wissen im Bereich #Anonymität, #Privatsphäre und #Sicherheit im Internet fördern (u.a. betreiben sie #Tor Exit-Knoten), sondern vor allem auch, weil unserer Ansicht nach eine anonyme und vertrauliche Kommunikation insgesamt ein fundamentaler Baustein einer freien Gesellschaft ist, möchten wir als Zeichen der Unterstützung beim nächsten Berliner FSFE-Treffen https://libranet.de/redir/99138?url=display/0b6b25a8195b555ae3abb6c648430309 am Donnerstag Zwiebelsuppe servieren. Essen gegen #Spende -- die Einnahmen gehen (dank mehrerer Spender, die die Materialkosten stemmen, u.a. #LinuxWorks) vollständig als Spende an die Zwiebelfreunde.
Nach dieser Stärkung möchte uns Tobias in einem Workshop eine Einführung in das Tor-Netzwerk und die damit verbundenen Tools wie z.B. den Tor-Browser und die App Briar geben.
Kommt hungrig und bringt eure Freund_innen mit!
Wir freuen uns auf euch!
P.S.: es wäre nett, wenn Ihr Euer Kommen ankündigen könntet, z.B.
an <tomas(at)fsfe.org>, damit wir die Mengen planen können. Trotzdem:
unangekündigt kommen ist immer noch besser als gar nicht :-) -
