I stopped watching his videos when he said that OpenBSD on desktop computers is "for hackers only" because they didn't mention explictely on the home page of openbsd.org that you can also use it on a desktop. FreeBSD mentions usage of desktop computers and thus is magically a desktop OS. He even clicked on the package building rack and thought this was the ultimate proof. I don't know whether he pretends to be retarded or is actually that retarded.

He is okay. Easy to digest what he says. The jokes and memes are cringe. Not watching but maybe it is the user agent spoofer gone along with some other stuff I think involving removing a way to turn off js.

It is always good to have a hands on irl video for hardware mod like his libreboot too.

Some people say he uses ai or software to hide his real face and censor it?? idk.

>>106564223
No one here thinks like this, the kinds of people who are into tech and learning about tech have brains that aren't completely fried from gooning to inter racial porn and cringy spade tattoos. Those kinds of people don't care about what OS they're using or what browser they're using or about delusions of privacy, if their system works and can browse the Internet they're perfectly content even on an old shitty iPad or Chromebook.

Reminder he uploaded dozens of videos about how feds are the good guys when BLM was a thing. He had the videos removed because not even his viewers at that time were retarded enough to agree with him.

Whenever he talks about "governments spying on you", he attacks Iran and North Korea and stays quiet about America.

Yeah, the Internet was intended for self-healing networking in the case of nuclear hellfire. It wasn't intended to be a SUPER SEKRET CLUB™ like TOR advertises itself as.

tor isn't compromised
tor was made by a few groups, some independent 90s crypto autists, some people with grants from the navy, and early on was managed by roger dingledine and eventually got more donations from nonprofits than from the navy
tor does exactly what is claims to do
tor doesn't claim to make tracing your connection impossible
they make it hard for anyone to trace your connection without having access to all logs of all ISPs worldwide. Some organizations do have all those logs.
they make it hard to spam malicious nodes, you have to be really cautious and have devices running on a believable distribution of different locations and infrastructure. Even then, there are very subtle ways to get caught and fingerprinted such as when the KAX-17 bad actor added hundreds of nodes over time and they got kicked out. They have in some cases done surveillance on attackers.
they are pretty good about the software and supply chain security. I don't think there has been an RCE in the Tor daemon, though there have been firefox exploits.
The browser makes it very difficult for markets and other random web trackers to tell the difference between users, and makes it easy for normies to hide their IP without paying for a VPN
They make it easier for people to bypass censors, loads of people used it to access the open internet over the last 20 years
By making Tor popular and having an actual nonprofit and human beings to be the face of their org, privacy tools get more normalized and have a more positive public perception and get harder to outlaw
By having ties to the community of random nerds and shit they can also do stuff like when they collaborated with some ISPs to trace the source of a ddos attack against tor nodes using spoofed IPs and shut it down
Their existence spawned countless research papers that taught the world how to build better anonymity systems, you can read them all online in places like freehaven

The world is better for its existence
>>
Does this affect me when I run a tor bridge and proxy Firefox instead of using tor browser? I also have i2p but it's slow as shit so I don't use it, should I use it? I like to host these things for goodwill but idk if anything really makes a difference. Sometimes I cry at night when I think of how life is going.

With running tor/i2p? Just helping out, thought it's a good way to just make it more reliable/faster. I want to get some monero things too soon, but I haven't looked into it yet, that being said is there a monero sort of node system where I just donwload something and always run it to help out?
>>
>>106570622
If you read my post in >>106570549 then think about what i2p is.. It has the same vulnerability to mass logging from ISPs that Tor does. Aside from that, most tor nodes are in datacenters whereas most i2p nodes are random peoples' computers. But are random peoples' computers safer than datacenters? Most people run corporate malware from dozens or hundreds of entities, so the raw # of organizations with theoretical backdoors into i2p nodes could possibly be higher than the amount when a linux nerd runs a relay on a rpi in his basement or on a VPS. I2P also has no funding and no clout, so they have no connections in the community to help them shut down ddosers, they have fewer connections to academia so less research is focused on their software, they have no significant donations which means they have no one building normie-usable software on top of it. I2P has more reliability issues and bandwidth limitations. Exiting to the normal internet is not first-class functionality actually embedded into I2P.
The only benefits of I2P imo is that it's packet-switched so you can build UDP apps on it, and that it punches holes through firewalls like a boss just like bittorrent.
But I am not convinced its security is better than Tor.. well, perhaps there are some entities in this world that could beat Tor and not I2p, and the other way around?
As for making I2P faster, I don't think it needs this because most users are nodes so it always grows capacity automatically when new users show up.

IMO if you want to move packets from point A to point B without ANYONE being able to know, that's very possible to do and not even that expensive, but you do have to build it yourself.

Now running a non-malicious monero node actually does help out, since when the user requests decoys for their transaction you COULD give them false decoys to weaken their anonymity, so you are helping them quantifiably. Perhaps give it an i2p and tor address.

Based knower. There's a really good Tor book from MIT press that covers all of these details.
Tor can only help you if you use it right, and use it for what it's intended for.

TOR cannot cuck without compromising their entire userbase. They can't compromise their entire userbase because Tor is a Navy-funded project used primarily to allow CIA rent-a-mobs to coordinate with their glownigger handlers in the US. Allowing others to use it to make it stronger is just a byproduct. Even if the developers cared, they'd be replaced (like Jacob Appelbaum) if they even thought about adding deplatforming to their product.

also reminder that it started as a glowies project so... it was never truly safe and the thousands of pedos who used tor that got magically arrested is not a coincidence.
>inb4 hurr I've been using it for years and still not arrested
try to meet a minor and they'll get you, you'll see how far back they knew about you, I can guarantee you with 100% certainty that glowies arrest less than 5% of the known pedophiles as it would cost too much to arrest everyone, most pedos who think they're sneaky would not pass the security clearance screening as glowies KNOW even if they don't arrest them.

As for the video... I'm assuming it's the user agent thing? The philosophy of Tor is to improve anonymity for as many circuits/users as possible without sacrificing on their other goals, hence why they don't use the superior anonymity solutions developed back then because they suck ass, and hence why javascript is enabled by default in the browser lest users stop using it and offer less cover traffic and social legitimacy to the tool. For whatever reason, the devs decided that this feature offered such negligible benefits as to be pointless. If you don't trust their judgement why would you trust them on all of the bigger architectural stuff, all of the major choices that have more ramifications than this? At least consider hopping into their IRC channels and asking about it.
As for BGP... the Internet is untrustworthy. The logs of almost all ISPs in the world ARE being collected and ARE being sold right now. Right now there are a number of corporations, and even more governments, who have direct access to enough logs to trace almost any chain of tunnels over the corporate networks. The Tor Project could make it slightly harder for some weaker criminal organizations but they would have to do so at a massive cost in terms of speed, which means fewer users sending less traffic and less relevance of their tool. Overall that would mean fewer peoples' traffic being protected from the adversaries that are actually hunting them, like some journalist or spy in Russia or China or someone in whatever the newest Arab Spring is.
The devs and that general community have known about a lot of these things and done cost-benefit analyses on them for decades. They don't just write code when they intuitively think it's a good idea, everything they do has a serious tradeoff that they have to weigh.

Is Kenny a fed or does he shill for them because it's the most effortless way to get money which he then uses to pay trannies (works for feds) to shill here?

He:
- is clearly too retarded to come up with anything.
- is only attacking countries that the Americans hate (Iran and North Korea).
- is denying Americans spy on people.
- is saying feds are the good guys whenever people protest against feds.
- Google (feds) pay him for each click.
