At what point does it become cheaper to just have a W-2 menial stand around you with an umbrella?

If this was the first time the world heard of onion routing, then yes.

Now they can realize that you're probably just one step in the chain. And with i2p there's no way to know if they even reached the end of the chain (provided you host i2p for long enough).

the tor onion network. But no exits to clearnet.

Everybody contributes bandwith. And because everybody contributes bandwith, privacy is created because you can never know if you reached the end of the chain and found the creator of the first network request.

In theory it's a lot more secure than the tor network. In practice it gets 1/100th of the funding, because you have to be a computer nerd to even install it, need a computer to keep it running 24/7 (longer you run, more privacy) , while tor browser "Just works" and can start providing privacy to everybody right away.

Is there any alternative to i2p torrenting if you want to torrent without a VPN? Other than living in a third world country.

They only handed over 1 ip address. Because he/she explicitly said they were a customer, during a specific time period, and admitted to doing it.

Reddit is refusing to hand over any more because it's all circumstantial. Example: I heard this ISP doesn't give a fuck.

And Reddit has further evidence that handing over ip addresses will hurt the others because the film companies immediately started harassing the one ip address they did hand over, via a reverse lookup through t-mobile.

Linux is not magically more resilient than Windows. If an exploit on windows exists, a similar exploit could also exist on Linux.

You can't hack a piece of electrical tape. But there are classier webcam covers which you can slide to close available for sale.

I'm confused. Are you deleting everything nonstop on Safari? Because 2fa should be persistent on default.

As for a mullvad alternative, maybe librewolf.

And unlike earthquakes and hurricanes and floods, war also includes propaganda, purposeful disinformation, as a major component.

Didn't they solve this issue with classical wrist watches with an LED that blinks if your phone has a notification?

It doesn't strategically affect the 3 major powers. And also you probably need to tweak your news sources if none of them are telling you about this.

What are those signs?

Given that they're expanding to reddit, I was wondering how dbzer0 is setup to handle similar requests. The legal help page for dbzer0 is just an e-mail address.
