  • You should call the local police office ahead of time and tell them you're going to operate an exit node. Then literally label everything so that when they come in the future, they know what to take. Like I said, its best to literally have this project in its own room. Like a closet. So its very clear which equipment is used for your exit node.

    Again, the Tor Project provides boilerplate letters for these things. Law enforcement usually thanks you. Remember, they use Tor too. Of course, most officers are dumb, but at least someone in their office should know about Tor at this point.

  • Get a distinct line in a dedicated room.

    That way when they confiscate all the equipment, it will only be the equipment used on that Tor network.

    This is the official advise from the Tor project, by the way

  • EU countries are going full in fighting to protect privacy right now.

    Its a battle and there's people in the government in both sides. Germany has actually been one of the best Member States in the EU preventing erosion of privacy.

    Governments are made up of many different people, frequently with differing goals

  • Is the nest called a bra?

  • e2ee chats are super annoying. They don't sync between desktop and mobile, so almost nobody will use them,

    Even if I insist they do and create a secret chat, they'll message me back in an unencrypted chat because they changed to their other device.

    This isn't an issue on Wire and Matrix

  • Its not incompetence. Its by design. The more SWAT goes out, the more they're justified. SWAT teams exist to increase the spending of police. Those expenditures go to military contractors.

    Its the same reason the US is ceaselessly involved in war since WW2. For money.

  • Usually swat teams break a lot of your shit, maybe kill a baby, and then leave without arresting you.

  • To make more money for the weapons manufacturers.

    SWAT teams didn't always exist. Many would argued they should not exist. But if they no longer exited, police would spend less money in military style equipment.

    Police don't care if SWATing is harming people. They just need to keep their expenses high, and SWAT teams are great for that.

  • Libre is a type of license that makes this legal. Eg GPL or CC SA

  • I don't know why we can't squeeze 64 GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD in the same form factor today :(

  • What are the last 2 referencing?

  • Oh shit, is there a way I can trade in testnet to get my procedure down?

  • So twitter needed a thot detector that calculated skin exposed percent, and put that into everyone's feed? Then vine woulda taken off, you reckon?

  • This. Why the heck would anyone use Nord VPN?

  • Israel is not "The Jews". The biggest money coming into Israel is coming from Christians. And loads of Jews are anti-zionists

  • The 90s? Nah, it died with Walt Disney

  • Keyboard was better than my phone soft keyboard.

    I gave it up due to the processor. I think it only had one core?

  • And what wallet was used in this study? My money is on mymonero.

  • You assume I'm just worried about privacy?

  • Not all of America has these laws.
