Nooope, not shilling it to me baby, not to me. If goolag uses it and those who take goolag blood money, it's even worse.

We wont' be offering dedicated servers anytime soon as far as I can tell, still working out gear for colocation for VPS nodes and stuff in a Luxembourg location we have though.
No PII required. Email preferred, but orders can be placed over XMPP or Session soon. Need some point of contact for invoice and notices to be sent to. Though throwaway emails are fine, and we may even offer (free) email hosting specifically for that purpose down the road. Pricing isnt' set in stone, but I honeslty doubt we'll do monthly terms just because the service wont' cost enough for it to be worth eating the fees associated with micro payments. And yes, crypto 100% preferred! BTC, XMR, ETH, ETC, LTC, OXEN, & PayPal + Cards (Processed by PayPal) is the current gateway methods but we'll also accept Theta / Tfuel, and I'll probably allow other alt-coins that I like. Also open to barter, assuming someone can do something or offer something that is worth the value of the service offered. So maybe someone can design cool graphics, or can do technical write-ups, etc. Value can be found in about anything.

What can possibly NOT go wrong? A vaccine card is supposed to show you got vaccinated. A cell phone app is supposed to spy on you, your location, your contacts, your preferences and viewing habits. If someone was remotely interested in knowing whether you were vaccinated -- they'd be looking for a card!

Nice try. Enter your number and then you'll be pwned for sure.
But you can't underestimate stupidity of zuckers, it might just work very well.

These short-sighted politicians look down a well and talk about jumping when they can't see the bottom. WE can see the bottom. We can see a world slaved to their totalitarian companies the way they want, yes; but we can see beyond, to the time when anyone caught hiding an ancient bricked cellphone and speaking incantations at it trying to unlock its magic -- will be tried as a witch and nailed to the stake for trying to call down a Drone Strike in treason to their village. We can feel the moral force of those nails as they rend the flesh, like so long ago at Calvary, yet with so much Pure Reason behind them as people rightly shrink in horror of the things the machines did with their power before all stopped and civilization fell. We can picture what would happen to those hapless parliamentarians, all full of their lies and chatter, in the courts of the future Kings, the great thugs of the realm, who would hoist them aloft on piercing wires and have their mobs play such a tune as has not been heard in the City of Dis itself. Fear the future, fear the pit of the madness, fear the Relentless Advance of Technology, which advances so soon ... to its end!

Robot Zuckerberg, Billionaire of the Hot or Not List, against the House Un-American Actiivities Committee. That is a real tough call, but I guess I'll put my sympathies on Zuckerberg for lack of an acceptable answer.

Facebook is stupid, but ... it AMAZES me how quickly people bought into the idea that a telephone book in the hands of the government is essential law enforcement, a telephone book in the hands of bankers is great for the economy, a telephone book in the hands of spammers is a job creator, but a telephone book in the hands of grubby peasants who didn't pay money for it is HORRIBLE, because YOU, you SCUM, you might CALL SOMEBODY.
Without first typing it in the search box and registering your interest forever in Google's database, that is. Information that they can sell, use in advertising, or have you imprisoned with based on your contact's odious anti-government beliefs.

Why won't people who hate guvmints move into space?
-It's lonely up there
-they think they will lose something they believe they have now.
-effort is necessary
-change is scary

IIRC, you only need to give your e-mail address (unlike Mullvad, which doesn't need even that, it just generates an account for you). I'm not sure about the prices, but you can pay in cryptocurrencies, but probably not in cash.

Ah, of course, blaming the victim. Totally not Boomerbook's fault that they force you to give your phone number. Seriously though, why those 533 million people won't move out of Facebook at this point? I bet fifth of the monthly active users switching to decentralized social networks, such as Friendi.ca, will have a quite big impact on this centralized not-social network.

I already use dns.watch . Doesn't block anything but everything is uncensored and they keep no logs so I kinda like it . But for my phone , your DNS would be useful ( kinda hard to get adblock on ios !) . And for your VPN , I just have some questions ( I actually use Mullvad , very good vpn btw) : Would you have P2P dedicated servers ? Do I need any personal informations to register ? What is one-month price ? Can I pay in cryptocurrencies or Cash ? Thanks for answering !

I have a feeling that this was done intentionally: to hide the fact they're integrating some weird crypto thing into their (not) private messenger. I mean, Monero already exists, so why not make people learn about that? Instead, they're asking for your phone number, and they probably do a million other things wrong. It's just awful.

So of course, they don't care about the phone number leak, which is the only thing in this leak that is not public. At least I'm not affected by this.

I personally use opennic for dns and mvps hosts for blocks, so I wouldn't need it. But keep up the good work.

Dumb ingscoc. The only way to "end" encryption is to pretend it doesn't exist, and bombard proles with artificial non-issues like covaids, so they wouldn't have chance to learn about it. Now they're basically advertising it, and pointing at corporate cocksuckers not to be trusted.

And yes, I'm aware of a bug with this site (RAMBLE) and linking to my invidious install. It fails to fetch the thumbnail / description / favicon from the site/pages linked and spits out a 500 Internal Server Error. It does it with a couple other sites too, so it's something I'm looking into.

That is a terrible landing page which doesn't explain anything about the project and the picture comparisons are so tiny, they might as well not have bothered.

Wasn't sure whether to post this in /f/privacy or /f/technology. Posted it here to discuss potential privacy implications since Israel is known to have a very close relationship with the NSA. The US even shares raw intelligence data with Israel that contains information about US citizens

I hate instagram and the like. My gym posts updates on facebook and instagram. Every time I just want to figure out if their open or if anything changed it wants me to log in. I'm not giving my information to some evil company so I can just get status updates for a gym too small to justify hiring a web dev to keep their site up.

Are you sure Goolag uses HIBP's database? I checked Wikipedia, searched for “Google”, found citation number 16, and what do we have here?
What?
Oh, right! So while “there's bound to be some overlap between the two”, it doesn't mean they're the same! Why not view Wikipedia before saying this BS?
