safeguarding individual rights and freedoms in an open internet

So much euphemisms and lies. They don't want any transparency nor accountability on what govts and corpos do, only on those things that can harm the population. Copyright primarily benefits those in power, independent creative individuals hate it http://verisimilitudes.net/2019-11-30

DuckDuckGo is on Amazon servers. Amazon tries to break into my computers as soon as I connect. Google does not! Use epiphany if you want... but sometimes Amazon will break through.

This kinda crap has been around for more than 10 years. At work I use the phone you pay 4 and stays in the charger at work the rest of the time I'm not there. When at work the personal phone stays in the car. Fucking brain surgery!

I see a lot of neutered 'facts' in the middle of overton window, but what's your take on this, why do you think it's worth emphasizing? Are you happy? That fishes will be protected from those evil unlicensed fishermen, so that they can breed happily to be harvested full force exclusively by the licensed? Are you happy that there will be more workplaces for watchers on those stations? And of course there will be even more workplaces for watchers who watches the watchers, more for noble knights protecting poor france and it's poor defense contractors from horrible atrocities of cybertheft, poor peaceful americans can employ more watchers to protect their glorious democratic homeland from those dirty iranian terrorists and their weaponised speedboats. And legitimate mobile-phone towers finally can protect their legitimate monopolies and remove those filthy unlicensed DIY rogue radio anarchists, ascertain their exclusive domains and sell radio spectrum which those nasty radio pirates dared to use for free. Next benevolent philanthropist charities can track routes of migrants more efficiently to help them get into countries that are in desperate need of multiculturalisation. What a great age we are living in!
Are you happy, liminal?
I think with all-seeing eye high in the sky the world is getting brighter, transitioning from scary darkness to all-piercing heavenly light. The world is getting Illuminated.

Replying to my own thread because I wanted to emphasize the following paragraph, which came to mind after reading the submission about camera sensor fingerprinting (or photo response non-uniformity).

Horizon also plans to compile a library of unique radar-pulse “fingerprints” of the world’s vessels, for the tiny differences in componentry that exist even between examples of the same make and model of equipment mean that signals can often be linked to a specific device. It will thus be able to determine not merely that a vessel of some sort is in a certain place, but which vessel it is, and where else it has been.

Don't know if any user of Ramble has his own vessel, but I guess this form of surveillance based on unique (unspoofable?) differences in componentry will be extended to other fields.

If I understand you correctly, you suggest that one should create a reddit account

Please don't put such filth in my mouth, I'm against using spynet at all. Reddit actively fights shared accounts and their users http://bugmenot.com/view/reddit.com because it wants to sell your ass to all of it's spynet affiliates. It endorses censorship to make user-made content more appealing for ad companies that will exploit said users. Reddit together with jewkipedia was shilling covais bullshit and censoring truth. So all these old-new-tor-vpn are not solutions, like plastic-silver-gold spoon to eat shit with it. If for some reason you absolutely have to eat shit (your choice), then tor-made account from tor-only is the most hygienic way. Just don't confuse yourself with this fuzz-up strategy: your activity inside walled garden does not deter intellectual rape and tracking, it just produces more activity which attracts further rape victims. Please put your efforts into promoting free environments instead.

Thanks; I think the same has been happening to me. It doesn't make sense that my pwd manager or I screw up only when handling a few reddit passwords. Maybe I can get back in to my accounts (also compartmentalizing a few interests that reddit doesn't deserve to correlate and track). The particular accounts I am having trouble with were created and now used on the clearnet with a vpn. I still use uMatrix and hope I can remember/find how to shut down javascript to get logged in again.

It's been awhile, but you reminded me to try switching back to "new" (dog shit) reddit to get logged in over Tor. From memory, it might also help during signup. I agree, reddit is a really shitty hassle to use and maintain some basic privacy. What's the best way for one to track the development of increasing, sustaining traffic and new subs at Ramble (grouped list of all f/subRamble's with traffic stats)?

@takeheart, If I understand you correctly, you suggest that one should create a reddit account using Tor and only ever use the account with Tor for privacy and anonymity. At the other end of the spectrum, any two or more accounts on the clearnet without a vpn can be easily associated together and with the IP. A vpn would protect the IP somewhat, but traffic correlation from the vpn servers can link separate accounts, and the user is often de-anonymized.

Would it be helpful to make a subRamble and share some throwaway reddit accounts with passwords to fuzz-up reddit's data? Sometimes it's nice to have option to make a quick comment, answer, or question that doesn't merit reddit's invasive registration and tracking. We could make a group for Tor accounts and maybe another group for vpn accounts.

Alternatively, you can use regex and redirect ^(http|https)://(?:www.)reddit.com(.*) to https://teddit.net$2, https://libredd.it$2 (what I use), or https://kddit.kalli.st$2 (what I used) (note that you need the Redirector addon)

None of those actually good reddit frontends support logging in, but since most of reddit is BS, you shouldn't care (and I don't have a reddit account any more either). Although, what do you mean by:

unless you made your account through tor, your manipulations are meaningless

— do you mean that you can log into your reddit account if you made it over Tor, or if that it doesn't matter if you log in over Tor if you created your account over Tor? Probably the first one, but I don't know.

Obviously, they don't know that the only anonymous data is no data. Also, DuckDuckGo will block FLoC "if Google allows it"? What do you mean by that? It's ridiculous.

spoiler: not using it

Redirect https://www.reddit.com/* to https://teddit.net/$1

That's for read only, I don't have an account. And unless you made your account through tor, your manipulations are meaningless. And even if you did, they subvert your other activities at tor.

privacy-centered way to track users

wow
I am happy.
Are you happy?
Finally, there is privacy-centered way to be tracked.

UK politicians and police don't care about child grooming. They'll even charge witnesses for trying to report child grooming gangs.

There's bound to be some overlap between two, because goolag will include everything the other have, and add more on top of that, since goolag is much better at hostile data harvesting than a single honeypot.
And not shilling jewkipedia either, just look at who's paying them and you'll see where they stand on privacy.

goolag blood money

In the end it's all about trust, and corporate cocksuckers deserve none.

goolag uses it

Are you sure Goolag uses HIBP's database? I checked Wikipedia, searched for “Google”, found citation number 16, and what do we have here?

Google told Wired's Lily Hay Newman that its database is not the same as the Have I Been Pwned database of six billion compromised credential sets maintained by Australian security researcher Troy Hunt.

What?

Google told [...] that its database is not the same as [...] of six billion compromised credential sets maintained by Australian security researcher Troy Hunt.

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?

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?

-they think they will lose something they believe they have now.
-effort is necessary

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.
