    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)
    Executive Director @ Gibberfish

    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?

    1. The Bullshit Web
      My home computer in 1998 had a 56K modem connected to our telephone line; we were allowed a maximum of thirty minutes of computer usage a day, because my parents — quite reasonably — did not want to have their telephone shut off for an evening at a time. I remember webpages loading slowly: ten […]

    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 :-)

    I just came across an interesting observation: According to the tool Exodus, Orfox (Tor browser for Android) contains 4 trackers:

    - Adjust
    - Google Ads
    - Google DoubleClick
    - Google Firebase Analytics

    My #Tor client tells me that the tor servers in my circuit "are failing more connections than usual", and I get this warning for different circuits.

    Does someone know more?

    Just for the reason that Bryan Lunduke got an acc. on the fediverse:

    He takes part in criminalizing #riseup and their supporters.
    This has real life consequenses such as the house raids happend in #germany today.

    Just via #patreon #Lunduke earns +4500$ per month.

    #BrianLunduke is not the nice guy he might believe by themself.

    Support #Ziebelfreunde, #riseup, #tor or @qbi Instead of Bryan Lunduke.

    • Bryan Lunduke

    house raids against a group related to #tor in #germany also effected @qbi

    All they (the group 'Zwiebelfreunde') did was collecting donations for riseup.net. (as a side note @bryanlunduke takes part in criminalizing #riseup and their supporters)

    Reasoned was it by a protest with confetti against fascist party #AfD that had used a riseup.net email.

    @qbi was raided *only* for the reason of being a voucher.
    police took multible device.

    meanwhile raids of the #tor related group gain great attention (good), raids of kurdish assosiation yesterday in #germany remains in the dark.

    'The intervals between the raids in our member associations are getting shorter and shorter....'

    #Discord seems to hate #Tor users, I kept having to put in CAPTCHAs even though I left Tor running all day and other services (like Mastodon) are still logged in.

    I haven't got time for that.
