@igalmarino @privacy it won't erode encryption worldwide - any more than China did. They'll just pull out of the UK

@Izzgo @Skyline @eterps It's like houses locking themselves so the door won't open unless you arrived by Ford(R).

Piracy is best compared to riding a bus without a ticket.

@RagingNerdoholic @BraBraBra because what they are looking at to determine profitability isn't actual profitability. They have certain metrics and they are making those metrics as high as possible. One might be, for example, ads served per page view.

"This whole anti-Microsoft thing is so pathetic. Just use Windows."

go on, show us the threatening email

@FarLine99 I think there are also chat systems that use the real Tor network.

There's Session, which uses some kind of shitty blockchain version of not-quite-Tor. Every user acts like a not-quite-onion-service and your username is a not-quite-onion-address.

@blazera @psychothumbs if they don't they'll be replaced by someone else who will

@anthoniix @Recant @hedge I've come to the conclusion that there are no particular rules that can prevent fascism. All that can be done is to continuously fight in whatever way is possible that day.

The fascists firmly control the courts? Pack the courts. The progressives firmly control the courts? Amend the constitution to prevent court-packing. The fascists took them over again? Repeal the amendment. The rules and traditions mean nothing to fascists and they have to mean nothing to progressives as well if progressives are to win. Fascists will always change the rules to help fascists win; progressives have to do the same.

do you understand what port forwarding is for?

edit: basically, one of two ends of a connection has to have port forwarding, or else the connection can't happen at all.

@skullgiver Yes, there are many ways to make sure your server connects to Tor and I2P sites. But that's what the guy who ISN'T running a Tor/I2P site has to do, to federate with the Tor/I2P site. If you're running the Tor/I2P site you can't really do much on your side to enable federation.

Cloudflare won't help because you need inbound connections. Some VPNs support transient port mapping designed for BitTorrent, but good luck trying to claim a stable port number for any significant length of time, never mind port 443 (which I'm sure is outside of the allocation range anyway). You'd have more luck trying to find a VPS provider crazy enough to let you pay anonymously with cryptocurrency with just a pinky promise that you're not hosting child porn. Or just don't federate.

@skullgiver @Fonz It is possible; you have to set it up yourself and you won't federate with many places.

Hosting Lemmy or Mastodon on Tor or I2P isn't hard; you just host it, and link your Tor/I2P daemon to it same as any other website. But you have to be aware you'll be cut off from the majority of other instances. You'll be running standalone.

I am not sure about Lemmy, but Pleroma supports feeding all your federation traffic through a proxy; you can use one called fedproxy to split out your I2P federation traffic through your I2P daemon, and likewise for Tor. I am not currently running this on my server. It should still work for other fedisoftware than Pleroma. https://docs.akkoma.dev/stable/configuration/i2p/

@kratoz29 @selfhosted You cannot go much cheaper from $6 per month... there's just not that far down to go. You can save maybe another $3 per month. There's a $3.50/mo plan on Vultr. I have an OVHcloud VPS that cost $100 for 2 years but that was some special promotional deal.

I also stumbled across this one that is $3.40/month (but the $5/month is a much better deal, with 4GB of RAM) but I don't know anything about this hosting provider so it could just as well be a scam: https://bill.alexhost.com/cart/moldova/

@Blamemeta Would you say the same to people in 1932, before Hitler was elected?

@Blamemeta It's pretty privileged to NOT worry about Nazis. In your understanding, what do you think a Nazi is?

@Blamemeta @TwilightVulpine when the nazis roll into your town on your newly constructred roads you'll wish you worried
