Farting with crap from my mouth... because I will not bother to find out more. Most likely this case has nothing to do with Telegram. I tried the i2p Telegram for a few hours and did not fit my needs. I do agree 100% with the Jap blog about the Telegram i2p site. If you have certain adjustments that work for you, congrats.

What I really think is going on has to do with extortion. Some disgruntle US investor that did not do his due diligence tried to enslave Rusky with a copycat Facebook. That did not work and the a-hole wants the money back (recovery).

Personally, I believe this fish is to big for some Froggie Enqule. France does not extradite French citizens (in the constitution???).

I did experience massive computer use in some attacks. I use very good equipment. The fans are running wild but the equipment does not overheat. No Apple incendiary devices here!

I will wait for a more mature/developed tool that has alarms and monitoring of torrents. Ideally it will monitor torrents and have some kind of configurable actions. It would be like a stock (stockmarket) chart analysis tool. Start (buy), Stop (hold), Delete the evidence (unusual patterns). I like to start simple... but it is always complicated.

Lesson learned: don't create malware and expect it go go well.

I'm curious if you've ever experienced your computer heating up or electrically shocking you when looking up politically incorrect subjects. I've asked all my tinfoil hat friends, and they're puzzled about it. It only happens when I'm on a 5-eyes/9-eyes/14-eyes network. Otherwise it's fine. And it only happens when I'm reading about those subjects for an extended period of time.

I've heard of people busting out their soldering irons to protect against backdoors. There are places I have heard of to purchase computer hardware with monero, but my better instincts tell me that it could just a honeypot to appeal to privacy-conscious individuals.

I also gave your issues with kicksecure and I2P a little more thought. I believe that kicksecure's ports are configured differently than other OSs; that might be your problem.

If you are by your computer when you are attacked by a Quantum with Supercomputer attack:

1. Your machine will go in a short Reboot but will recover where you left off.
2. Your SSD/Hard-Disk will go nuts because THEY are uploading.

What THEY are trying to do is break your encryption by looking for KNOWN files that were encrypted with that key. Take action and don't delay.

I usually wipe the disks and change all the keys. Consider encrypting a KNOWN file like an OS download with a different encryption. I usually store this type of crap on a different disk.

Hard Drive Hardware encryption along with BTRFS is the best mitigation I have against Quantum and Supercomputer attacks. I used to get them monthly but now it is a rare occurrence.

I did know a Arch person that swear by their BIOS (solders and modifies boards). I was so impressed by his demonstration at his layer (full of equipment) that I almost plunged a small fortunes into buying a laptop from him. The problem was that when his machine was tested in guerrilla environments (direct trunk connection) it did not perform much better than mine.

I don't know who sold Quantum-Tristate computers. Some crap had to do with IBM but they like to take credit for a lot of things (Oppenheimer was a manager not the developer of A-bomb kind of crap). If you search Tristate it comes out as a battery company that probably has little to do with computers. Tristate comes from 3 states as a 0-1-unknown.

Nope. It didn't just disagree with you. I can recommend Heads OS, an alternative to Tails. I haven't attempted to put I2P on it, but it's thought to be a pretty good OS otherwise.

What is your opinion on the reliability of hard drive encryption?

Are you referring to the place that sells computers (TriState)?

I've been wondering how one would fix hardware back doors, or if that's even a possibility. I'm not sure what resources our favored big brother has, but I don't have any doubts about what he would do if he could.

Does it mean for us to put aside dual-boot Windows-Linux eventually and get ourselves on the Linux-only configurations?

One of these days, maybe you can post a tutorial for i2p with KickSecure. For some reason that OS did not agree with me and commited suicide.

There is a EEE standard, NIST standard and I speculate there is a DIN (German) standard for this situation. For a while there was even a YubiKey for that but it disapear from the market. I was stupid enough to have a known acolite order it for me and arrived backdoored and damaged. Quantum computers have been around since at least late 1980's and were called TriState. Some people were recruiting at that time to work in that field.

The TriState computers were used extensively by US spies but once the Soviets fell the rusky started to sell the location data (unique electromagnetic signature) and the need for Tor ensued. The last failed attempt to use TriState for spies was the Turkey coup against Erdogan. That is how Turkey knew the "exact" location of the participants and most likely the names (Gyudem or something was the leader).

Currently a lot of US government employees and contractors use a Quantum boot. USB key that allows a regular computer to be booted externally from a TriState computer. You do NOT want to use that crap from your home... It is open season after from China-man, Ruskies etc. I do know of some sorry ass cases of people who make environment assessments or pollution assessments that MADE THAT BIG MISTAKE.

If you have that KickSecure tutorial for I2P that does NOT endanger your activities please post it.

More hands are better for sorting mail.

The "Oregon Trail" approach to health and immigration has been tested for 2+ million years. If you can cross on foot the Darien Gap, walk accross Central America in the summer heat, swim accross the finish line and are able to survive afterwards... you don't need vaccines.

The slaver mind, mobster city lover and Farmer Bill think crap. They are the greatest impedement to a healthy environment. I'm not a purist but things got completely out of hand.

That might be your only choice for a while. Eating from the trash can. You can call him The Food or El Papa. I don't get involved in Organized Crime selection but the Dark Kunt can't set her internal clock to 7:11 on the dot. It is like in the old silent movies when you got tied to railroad track and saw the train approaching.

brownie in a mug, the presidential edition

thanks! half of them had 3 hands and i'm not sure why

look what the wolves dragged in ;)

my posty's gonna need more chipmunks

I really like this one!

It's thought that most western countries will have their populations cut in half by the end of the century. Autism and various illnesses have been increasing as vaccines increase - but I'm completely 100% convinced that there is not a relation whatsoever. How could injecting oneself with unknown chemicals have any kind of negative reaction?

There is a viral video of "Farmer Bill" discussing using vaccines to contribute to the depopulation agendas. The World Economic Forum wants to cut the world population to 500,000,000, and Billy has already put sterilizing agents into vaccines he's handed out in Africa back in the 90s.

For vaccine theories I differ to Farmer Bill the undisputed expert in Global Warming and Vaccines. What I know is that the overall the human population is in KYAG mode (kiss your ass goodbye). The topic is complex and some good points were made. The solutions presented most likely have limited use, might work in some cases but not work in other. Predicting how the cookie crumbles is not possible.

Pretty much. tor is comparatively centralized and a lot more high profile than i2p. Fingerprinting is the thing that scares me the most, there's lots of identifiable metrics. Also instructive to look at how people have gotten deanon in the past but it doesn't anticipate the future or current capabilities. I'd think they'd spend the most energy targeting or trying to compromise high value targets/individuals like marketplaces/admins for the intel they could attain over a long period and we would be none the wiser. even if they don't have a big picture view of everything right now there's lots of tools that can be used to focus in on something of interest. I guess a good defense is to not be of interest.

There are only some odd-thousand tor nodes out there. For a powerful adversary to run many of them doesn't seem too unbelievable (50 cent army). They may not be able to hire someone to watch each and every node al the time, but they could possibly automate the process with artificial intelligence.

The Whonix documentation discusses how Tor users can be fingerprinted by their typing speed, among other things. And remember that it wasn't public knowledge that emails and phone calls could be tracked on a large scale until somewhat recently. In The Art of War is says to make your enemy think that you're weak when you're strong and strong when you're weak.

I've always assumed that it's monitored to some degree. Not like all tor users can be monitored clearly at all times, but from the aspect that running tor doesn't make you nsa proof. nothing does, but it does a good job at making you blend in, so when i want to look like everyone else and not do something identifiable, tor doesn't seem so bad. i think that's probably it's best use case, when what you chose to do with it would be like a needle in a haystack identifying you, but it can't correct for user error.

good to see new people interested in this kind of stuff even if they show you they just logged into their bank account with tor. they got the right spirit i guess.

The Official router does block through TOR traffic. It is an OK decision since it is an entry level router. I rarely test that version. The truth is that you do not want a lot of traffic over 30% (varies depending on conditions) through slower networks: satellite, ygg, flokinet some cell, modems, some VPNs. It does help with security but at a cost. Don't be stupid... in theory some entry guard may be able to block you unless you use your own servers. Again: If your threat model dictates it don't hesitate!

In your third statement, are your referring to the fact that I2p is now blocking Tor traffic?
