There are many reasons, and they come and go depending on the individual. Some people probably find themselves in lulls of learned helplessness. Others may just be exhausted from speaking out and going against the grain. I don't fault anyone for shrugging their shoulders and going inward. Just becau...

When an 'alt', open source technology is being pushed hard into wider adoption, consider that it may be so because it is weak enough to be exploited, but still functional enough to get significant swathes of the freedom and tech communities to rally around it. I would consider Bitcoin to be one of t...

I have massive respect for cave divers, who willingly put themselves in a position where there are a thousand different things that could go wrong at any moment. I have read and heard numerous accounts of deaths of people getting lost in silty water, getting wedged in crevasses, losing tanks, succum...

My research was short and simple, I just opened Wikipedia And herein lies the problem. I don't think anybody here is insinuating that tor is some silver bullet in which you can blindly place all trust. There are no doubt honeypots and bad actors littered across the network.

Mint is where I finally started for desktop (I had been doing serve...

The flu has also been a fearmongering operation, albeit far less successful. Hence, their pre-2020 pondering "Why don't we blow the whole system up?".

Do you have any insights on the ways you believe tor might be compromised? Aside from the usual threats like fed nodes. I don't think there are very many people out there (well, except maybe normies) who don't know about tor's funding and development origins. So the information isn't some shocking r...
