I'm using the onion site. Works fine with no javascript and loads fast.

Well my first project was going to be a pretty basic blog with only an admin backend for me to add new posts but I get what you're saying.

I'll check it out thanks.

After having their business fucked by Visa/Mastercard, it's not surprising that they'd push more towards crypto.

Good move on their part.

I've wanted to do this as well. Figured though if you weren't on anyone's radar before, then you will be now. I was a bit taken back when I deleted all my social media accounts earlier in the year and downloaded the data that they had collected on me. I'm sure the alphabet boys have more, though I'm not sure what all they'd share.

Just additional piece of mind, really.

If it's a personal site with no real way for visitors to interact with it beyond reading it's content, I'd say it's not that big of a deal. But if it's a website that allows users to sign in, stores data about them, etc open source is a good idea. As /u/txt said, it's best to know so it can be fixed and that proper procedures can be done.

But if it's just your personal site, where you publish some posts and that's it... I don't think it's a big deal to not publish the code personally because it's just your site and it'll only impact you if something is done wrong.

a good introduction into why PDFs are insecure: they have their own javascript and actionscript api that can run code inside of a PDF. it's basically not exaggerating an executable document format.

PDFs are the world's most dangerous file format: https://v2.incogtube.com/watch?v=54XYqsf4JEY

I was going to link to something similar. As someone who has a lot of PDF ebooks, let me ask a 'newb question' of my own: Is there a good way to convert them and their contents into a safer format for sharing?

That makes sense. I'm just shy I guess. I'm still going through the 'learn python the hard way' and haven't written much but I just figured i'd be posting my code to public forums like this and on reddit for people smarter than me to pick apart to help me learn as I go along. I never really figured out how to use github and stuff. I'm really new to all this obviously haha.

Security via obscurity is a terrible idea. If your code is bad, its better to know before your site gets traction.

outlook and gmail is 90% of smtp traffic.

but "they are private companies they can do what they want" lmao

Hell yeah brother.

I second this, I've always used wired.

Yeah, fact is only ports I have are a pair of USB-C, one of which is used for power supply.

Meant to make you give up.

Wireless is nice, but I would recommend a mouse with a USB receiver over Bluetooth If your laptop is USB-c only, check out this video: https://youtu.be/V-vFtiDYiIw.

in general bluetooth isn't reliable. if you want stuff to be reliable use a wire.

Nice collection of links here for people who use I2P. Very helpful.

Hell yeah brother.

I'll keep this pinned for a few days.

FBI eFOIA portal. The FBI happens to be pretty infamous for its long drawn-out response times, which is something I found out after I submitted my request.

FFS that's a really long time. I figured it'd be a matter of months, not years.

How did you submit your request?

I can't say I'm surprised with this due to all the problems PH have had the past few weeks.

You can use directory's such as Underdir and they say if an onion is online, so you can browse them.

A couple search engines I know of are Not Evil and Phobos Search.
