If you can make it through the labyrinth filled with fog machines, strobe lights, and swinging sickles at neck height, yes

My Halloween decorations are still up from last year.

Most of the people who get blocked are going to be tech savvy. Except maybe someone computer illiterate at a Uni

Have you ever been in a train and the lights went out? If not, watch some movies with the NYC subway (eg Joker). Its not just a theatrical effect, this is normal on trains.

Modern trains have batteries to keep accessories like lights and AC running when the train temporarily looses its connection to the third rail

Isn't he also a cop?

I wish more companies understood that Onion Services have excellent protection from DoS attacks.

You don't even have to give away your keys to CloudFlare. Just get trigger happy with IP blocking and tell users to use the Onion address to bypass any blocks.

This is a year old. But please do notify me when its available in the default Debian repos.

What do you think PoW was created for. This is exactly the use case of PoW -- to reduce malicious traffic. It works great!

Change your keys and share less going forward.

From their perspective, yes.

Edit: sorry, yes, CPB does have drug dogs too, but not TSA

I think they do collect facial recognition data on passports, yes. And State IDs.

Not from the identity document directly, but from the digitized photo that you submitted when you asked to create the document

Nah, this is the TSA. Its for explosives. I don't think they train dogs for both.

Customs may have dogs trained for sniffing for fruit, though.

Last time I denied a photo from CBP, the agent at the desk told me they're using the cameras above for facial recognition.

He could a been lying or wrong, but -- even if its illegal -- I wouldn't be surprised if they or some other 3 letter org is doing this.

The NSA was hacking into Yahoo Video and corporate CCTV camera feeds to train their facial recognition systems, what, 10 years ago?

You realize that a "biometric face scan" is just a photo from a narrowly defined angle, right? So what Japan is doing is taking a biometric photo, even if they don't use that language.

Yes. In order to launder your dirty traffic, you need to mix it with lots of other traffic. And you need it to be safe to avoid attribution.

The US military (and various 3-letter agencies) needs the service to be secure, provide strong anonymity, and to include a sea of traffic thats mostly not their own

Oh yeah, I'm not referring to drivers. I'm thinking of things like PureOS

Not at all, if you understand why they created it and how they use it

I guess if you like dead kids?

Sidewalks are more dangerous for bicycles. Especially for children!

Cars can't see you, and the accident rates are much higher for bicycles getting hit by cars when they ride on the sidewalk
