By confused, I mean for example input boxes for forums disappearing, unless you switch to a user-agent they recognize and "support" or similar shenanigans.

Or sometimes getting mobile versions of sites when browsing on the desktop, because the site thinks you're coming from an Android or iPhone device.

In the Japanese (1965) version the protagonist is named Leo, but they changed it to Kimba for the English (1966) release. Back in those days, they always changed the names.

Keep in mind, when Disney does it, it's called a homage.

Reply to Tattoo Fail by Rambler

The joke about how women with tattoos are like buildings with graffiti comes to mind. It's not better when men do it, either. Defacing your own body is pretty disturbing.

I'm using "Random User-Agent", which looks to be doing pretty much the same thing.

I went that route after discovering how you can be tracked based on your user-agent and that there's no way to make a meaningful change to it to prevent this. Thus I just change it every couple of minutes.

Some sites get confused by this, but overall it's a seamless experience. Not sure if it's actually preventing tracking, but it sure will defeat naive approaches.

Reply to comment by Rambler in I2P+ VPS bandwidth usage by Rambler

Just a small clarification: I2P+ doesn't require more bandwidth than stock I2P, though if you allocate I2P+ bandwidth, it will make more efficient use of it. That's particularly apparent on high bandwidth, high performance routers where I2P+ will quite happily push 8MB/s in both directions while hosting 14K participating tunnels.

Hell yeah. I'm always in IRC2P (#saltr) so I'll join right now. :)

edit: Can't connect to irc.coldhell.i2p:6667 after adding it to my addressbook. Will try the webchat for now. Probably an issue on my end or with my IRC client.

Yeah, that's definitely some real old news. Was an XSS exploit that was fixed real quick. It required JavaScript to be enabled, so for it to have worked someone would have had to of disabled NoScript in Tail's Firefox. Yet another reason to hate javascript.

No network is immune from exploit, as we've seen with Tor as well. As long as the devs actively fix things once they're made known, then it's all good.

Good video, did you create it?

I've never heard of Sarahah, but I don't do social media. It's a shame that apps like that or others that specifically target minors don't have to pass some form of security tests before being published. Or any app, really. Just have it ran in a closed environment prior to release, analyze network traffic and make sure it's not acting maliciously.

Then again, I have no idea what the process is like for getting apps listed in the app stores.

I check ZeroTalk every few days or so...

My only issue with Zites is it's not as straight forward as a traditional website, meaning that even though you can have a dynamic site, you can't do it as easily as you would on the other networks.

I have a Zite that I need to update for another site of mine but I hate doing it because I have to take a dynamic, php driven site and just create a flatfile html version of it for ZeroNet and remove the dynamic components of it. =/

EDIT: Also, I don't like how I can't (easily) sync data between all my devices. Depending on where I am in my house or if I'm using my phone, that's different ZeroID's I'm using to interact with Zites, and that's how many times I have to download the same data again.
