IF any number of relays is evidently and probabilistically related[1], and
IF said relays cross certain thresholds[2], and
IF said relay operators are unknown to the existing Tor operator community,
THEN said relays will be terninated from the network immediately.
[1] one of more operators acting in unison for purposes that could amount to surveillance or manipulation
[2] 5% guard probability, 5% exit probability, or 10% combined probability of any kind

Extending the Call for Participation to #MCH2021 until March 31st: https://mch2021.org/#/Blog/extending-the-call-for-participation-to-mch2021-until-march-31st
for anyone who hates overhead light. i made two of these for my living room.
i started with a philips hue lightstrip ($90), an ikea kvistbro table ($50), a 72” white shelf rod ($10) and a hot glue gun. because the thick and extra long cable, i use a pillow case to hide it most of the cable.
i’d love to find an 80” rod so that the top of the lightstrip stays straight but i barely notice it.

mozilla conflict of interest
End Mozilla-the-corp.
Give money from the inevitable Google settlement to Mozilla-the-foundation.
Enact UBI so more devs can contribute to the browser without fearing starvation.
Otherwise this absurd conflict-of-interest between making a privacy-oriented browser and the worst surveillance capitalist company providing funding will resolve the other way, with Mozilla continuing to sell its soul, until 'privacy' is no more than marketing.
(Which some might say has already happened...)

Has anyone successfully implemented Git over Tor?
I know hosting a repo server is a vastly different beast, but it may help to start somewhere
As far as I know, Gogs and Gitea are fully FOSS, server-side too (no proprietary "enterprise" versions), can be isolated pretty well, and don't look like they're stuck in 1995
But I don't know the internals well enough to see if an entire Hidden Service alternative to GitHub or GitLab can be done in these or something similar
Gitea is a fork of Gogs
i’m pretty happy to have my cleartext website back online, yawnbox.com
Cloudflare, still one of the largest censorship technologies in the world

Everything you do online might be used to profile you. But who are the profilers? What do they do with your data? 🤔

My ebooks and audiobooks (from @torbooks, @HoZ_Books, @mcsweeneys, and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."
