Because Reddit killed forums and this is the closest thing we have left.

Honestly if someone tried flying a 747 into a US government today, I think we would have a very different reaction than the last time they tried it.

People aren’t typically caught inside a darknet when they are accessing only things inside that darknet. They get caught when their traffic passes through a compromised node or when accessing external resources. You are much harder to track if you keep your darknet activities inside that darknet. In the case of Tor, you would typically be accessing .onion sites. If you are using tor to just hide where you are along to way then accessing something suspect on public internet, you are just drawing more attention to yourself.

In the case of i2p, most everything is inside the network. This limits its usefulness but prevents the most common way of identifying someone in a darknet from working at all.

Freenet im still learning more about but so far it looks like there are levels of secrecy there and the most common use case in freenet has been blow open by the feds. There’s another method that’s supposedly harder for them to track but I don’t know enough about freenet to speak on that yet.

Your username suits you.

Canada, all you have to do is outlast us, then buy us up for cheap once Trump decides to give up.

There are more than 10 of us.

My brother in law has a Chromebook with a mediatek chip that performs pretty well. It’s rather resource limited though so switching to full blown Linux might not work out all that well. And keeping it stock means you are using googles operating system, a western technology that probaby shouldn’t be trusted at this point.

I want to leave but cant even imagine any country that would take me.

I had a decent amount I got back from taxes that I intentionally spent. I’m mentally ill. I’m off my meds because I cant risk withdrawl from going back on them only to have RFK take them away again. I’ll lose my job. It doesnt pay enough for me to get by anyway. If I kept that money, I know I would have bought that gun. And I would have used it on myself.

I’m still not sure I did the right thing spending myself into this hole to keep a gun away. I know using it on my oppressors wouldnt likely succeed. I’m more likely to use it on myself.

I still dont know if it was the right thing to do to not buy the gun.

ARM isnt very powerful outside Apple stuff, but it’s good enough for most users now. RISC-V is the future but its performance is terrible right now and the price is high. If you are planning for like 5 years ferom now, consider RISC-V. Otherwise, it’s x86 or ARM for most people.

The Orion O6 is coming out soon and promises some decent flexibility with ARM. Its not as great as Ampere’s offerings but its good enough for now and much cheaper.

mediatek chips are sometimes used in chromebooks. Look there.

rockchip based SBCs are powerful enough for general-purpose use. Some of the companies behind them are american like PINE64 but most arent. There’s a promising board called the orion o6 coming out of china but its still really young in its development and support lifecycle and its hard to source.

then dont use exit-nodes

“I believe good things but don’t want to actually sacrifice anything or be responsible for any of my actions that my prevent good things from happening”

Make a free one. Based on rust. Using vulkan. Runs best in Linux.

For the lolz

When testing for permissions, I still giggle over trying to execute “touch this” then being told “can’t touch this”

Hyundai EVs really are good. They made absolutely terrible gas cars but chose the transition to EVs to make new company out of themselves and they did an absolutly incredible job. They make some of the best EVs in the market.

I use both of these systems daily. They have some issues but are just fine for me. Honestly, they are just opposite extremes and I repeat that. They each chose a side.

Whereas windows makes me scream. It’s absolute horseshit that pretends to claim some middle ground that makes no one happy.

Manufacturers are contemplating how to win back control over the UI of their vehicles. They remain completely oblivious to why CarPlay succeeded in the first place.

I see this going further underground as fascism takes over. The corporate influence was bad enough before but with the Nazis in coming to power again, many of us are going to have to dive underground.

Imagine such absurdity. The Internet. The land of “forbidden knowledge.”
