[tor-talk] What are you fighting for? was: Re: Neal Krawetz's abcission proposal, and Tor's reputation
krishna e bera: > There is no country that respects freedom of speech and there is no > country that respects privacy. Borders are usually lines drawn on a map by old, usually white, males with almost complete disregard to the humans living in around the area crossed by the said line. Countries are the surfaces delimited by those lines. On maps. Hence the country can do shit. What you probably meant is government. But the government is also an abstraction. It is a list of names on a piece of paper. What might help shaping your argument is realizing there are people involved. Try something like "no politician who wants to be reelected". Proving a negative is also going to prove pretty damn hard. Anyway, your discourse is a hysterical one as you conveniently avoid to define the emotionally loaded terms of "freedom of speech" and "privacy". You also seem to have no clear idea about who or what is the subject, again, conveniently omitting it. For one, there are a lot of places, "countries", where the privacy of the spy agencies is protected up to the death penalty even if that is outlawed. Or so the people opposing the government say. And if you do not write in the vein of the aberrant 18th or 19th century European philosophers, looking for a "perfect" freedom of speech and privacy, than you already have that in the States. They are perfectible, certainly. But without having an idea what should be solved, you end up like all sorts of revolutionaries, meaning killing people marked as class enemies. > They all have various legal restrictions and exceptions for various > reasons that change over time, sometimes drastically. Perfect freedom would imply a monotheistic god stance. The moment you have a community of gods you start having limits to that freedom. What you should ask yourself is "whom does this restriction help?" and "do I need this restriction?" Of course, there are many more questions to ask your self, but this is probably a good starting point. As you have probably remarked reaching for a solution is not an easy task. And starting on the path towards the solution implies the effort to identify the restrictions instead of wallowing in the warm and smelly waters of convenience. Limiting yourself to some concepts turned into baseball bats to rise "an against the system" gang will only help the individuals in power expand their powers. And yes, the legal restrictions change over time because the individuals that compose a society, including the society named government, do change. As a football team during a big game they change as individuals, but they also can change their minds. Your remark about "sometimes drastically" is cute. But completely useless. Given enough time ALL restrictions are drastic. > People will > argue about such things forever, See above. Identify the issues. It is pretty much like the security models or the bug solving in software development. And I assume the subscribers of this list are fairly familiar with these concepts. > as we have seen in these sorts of > threads. "We" is a populist way of catching the attention. Which is in sync with the radiating emotion from the entire post. It will greatly help moving from emotion to reason. Sure, it will gain you less friends and followers. But the people liking other people for this sort of discourse are usually good only at pitchfork gatherings or for burning crosses. So who is we? You and your husband or wife? You and your parents? You and your other selfs? You write from one email account. Let the other sock puppets express themselves. How about avoiding the weasel consensus and just say "I"? > If we want them we have to fight for them in the political > arena ("policy"). And you are only one. And the current political system, at least for the last 3000 years, is based on majorities. But at some of the issues that bother you were also born because of fuzzy emotional concepts and half baked solutions designed to show that "we" do make a change. In the case of goverments, the word is reform. Do not be mislead by form, it is the same concept. The excellent part, and I am grateful to that, is that the Tor foundation and EFF are making progress with identifying the problems and finding solutions. It is an uphill battle which forces them to make some compromises.

It would mean to lose the privacy or anonymity in exchange for receiving the same shit, only in smaller portions. "Users can now use the Privacy Pass browser extension to reduce the number of challenge pages presented by Cloudflare." 99.98% is smaller, yet indistinguishable from the user stand point. But it is an excellent position for cloudflare. They could track the user, as nobody has examined their configurations AFAIK, and lower the load on their servers. What is worse: the appeal to authority: "researchers from Royal Holloway and the University of Waterloo". Who? What is their track record? Are they known for work in privacy? Waterloo is not rated in the first 200 universities, so maybe they are not the best in the lot. For example, Roger Dingledine's name was associated with MIT which is both in Top 5 Universities and a private institution. Going on the site things are even blurrier: no reference to any audit. Even the authors have no idea: "In the near future, we hope to publish a paper detailing the security goals that we hope for our protocol to achieve." Near future is the optimist of sometimes. Yet it is a state university, so that depends on the student doing the research. Missing one grant request and they are gone. That also lights some more bad aspects. When someone using Tor will be in some Syrian jail, all the support coming from Cloudflare and Royal Holloway and the University of Waterloo will be a mention in some dry research paper published behind some paywall. > 2.

Because of that I give you my useless answer: if it bleeds it leads. This is what the public is asking for and is ready to pay for. The public is right to confuse sensationalism with news. And that is what specialized outlets will deliver. As for "legitimate", Silk Road was by all means law breaking, yet it was helping people obtain what they needed while at the same time protecting both sides from violence. And government officials killing people in the hundreds for having the wrong skin color is both "upholding the law" and "protecting the innocent".

It's funny how people reference books without even bothering to read. In 1984 crime is rampant. Not only the main characters are involved in illicit activities, but the Part has to have an investigative branch just to curb this. Also the use of the word slaves is just to make an emotional statement. Would slaves be aware of their slave status once ALL are in the same position? A society of slaves… slaves to what?

Child abuse is common in what is generally known as "the civilized world". An adult, ANY adult can shout at a child, can hit a child, can be brutal, violent, aggressive, dominant. Children are bodily harmed from a very young age ranging from mutilation, sedentarism, and bad eating habits.

So there were demons. Now they are bankers. And they do crazy rituals for reaping souls. That turned into excel pages and profits. After the uncertainty of the 19th century christianity seems to be back stronger than ever, only with a small change of vocabulary. Not even the fairy tales with the bankers are new. Good christians/muslims can not touch interest. Only the local temple, be it a church of morsque. Jews were allowed to do next to nothing. Even ownership was restricted without a baptismal certificate. So helping the economy thrive by giving credit was one of the last things they can do besides than lying in the road waiting to die. This way a smart move assuring the survival of the individual and his family becomes the capital sin of not dying fast enough. After the Holocaust, it is less acceptable to say Jew. So let us say banker. *Everybody knows Jews own the banks* anyway. Back to reality. Banker is also the nice teller who is doing overtime to feed the children. The teller has to accept the strict banking dress code. And the hippie across the street, getting a nice tan in shorts and sandals, can feel superior to *them drones*. > To me it is clear that allowing at least Tor traffic through my > networks I am enabling a more fair discussion, and allows good things > to happen.

So it should be avoided. The answer is "we don't know". Repressive regimes use almost perfect tools like rubber hose cryptography. Also repressive regimes have a rather good control over the information. That is what allows them to be represive. And it is far easier to locate an individual in one hundred than in one hundred million.

Mansour Moufid: > Pizza is a real problem: > > http://www.cbsnews.com/news/hezbollah-names-cia-agents-in-lebanon/ > > Coffee too! Fascinating article. A group speculates about some people. Their method might be as rudimentary as locating a blond person in a part of the city where all people have black hair. The method won't be disclosed. The group publishes the data. One might argue that is a good thing based on motives, a nice Kantian approach. Yet, by doing this, one deliberately ignores it is an act of bullying, no different that putting nude pictures of the ex-girlfriend "because she's a slut". Given the situation is quite volatile in the region, with more than one civil war going nearby, knowing the rule of law is quite weak and that weapons are easily available, the ONLY reasonable action is for those people to leave as fast as possible and probably as far as possible. Which, in turn, proves not only that the first group is right in naming the spies, but also that bullying is the way to do things. This way a rather silly and quite unpleasant gesture becomes one more step on the way back into the Middle Ages. Sad.

I barely tweet. It is mostly to have all the interesting people in one feed. Once I stop accessing the account for a few days they detect strange activities. I have checked the access list and there is nobody there but me. About two weeks they started asking for a phone number. So probably I'll have to generate another account.

ma...@wk3.org: > may I cease the occasion to invite everyone to Diaspora* once again? > It's totally Tor-friendly and basically uncensorable. I wonder at which point making the same advertisment turns into spam. > A bunch of servers/pods (because the list https://podupti.me is behind > CloudFlare (I admit, I am a bit embarassed...)): I wanted to experience "the freedom" a couple of months ago. So I went ahead and made a few accounts, long deleted. If I recall well, only two or three servers have .onion addresses. Both services (or pods) I have tested use plain http for the .onion address. Anyway, it is quite pointless, because once you are in you get a bunch of connections in the regular Internet, including the main server which should have been mirrored on the .onion address. At first I had the vague impression that diaspora is an idiot magnet. Few activity and the regular conspiracy nut slash armchair social supported anarchist crowd. Maybe it is just a matter of taste. I have no idea if nobody cared about me because I identified as male. But anyway, that was the only plus: no harrassment. Later I have told myself that is because of the number of users. Users who are on twitter slash facebook anyway and seem to need the mirroring functions. And the few posts that are not about programming or the revolution set up to start yesterday are like 3-4 months apart. I would have ignored the thread. Usually I filter out this kind of whining. And than: Roman Mamedov: > Speaking of Twitter alternatives, I find GNU social can be made into a really > nice one. Example: https://quitter.se/ Actually at the time, 2015, there are only two alternatives: mainstream or not. The mainstream is where the people are. Meaning Facebook or Twitter. Facebook is a walled garder. Meaning you are either in or out. With twitter, just checking the user's page from time to time is enough to keep you updated without bothering without wasting time jumping through the twitter's flaming hoops of identificating over and over again. Not mainstream means wasting far more time than with the above and meeting the same thousand nutcases who have opened at least one account on every service. #Diaspora A nice promise. The promise was all users have got. And it was a good sale. Over $200k[1]! It is sooo decentralised you can't even migrate an account from one server to another. At least it is working. But the team deserted and it working on the next moneymaking promise. #Status.net It was supposed to be the twitter killer. Twitter without limits. Only that the twitter guys set the drastic limits and still failed a few times. Only a fraction of the twitter trafic with the twitter restrictions in place would most probably kill the status.net. But status.net is already dead. The sole developer has moved to make the facebook killer. Cute. #Pump.io The facebook killer. Or at least that was the promise. Not very well polished. But one is reminded of the sole main developer and limited resources. Probably there are more born dead projects. All with the same thousand of users. One has to love the double standard: facebook wouldn't be here based on one developer. Yet counting the names involved with the necropolis of disfunctional social webs, the developers I far fewer than the preacher and prophets against the scarry mainstream in which they can't seem to fit anyway. So it probably makes sense to get on kickstart and sell the GPLed Pinterest. And the wheel is turning. Less than a generation again Miguel de Icaza was runing the same scam. Give the penultimate Windows experience. That is their trade. I respect that. My issue is with the masses. How can an Outlook 95 clone, written in the days of Outlook 97 become better and more original than an OS X? Take Yahoo Messenger. It started as a lame ICQ clone. In 2005 there was voice support. By 2009 there was webcam support. The so called free world kept feeling good about SIP. Instantbird/Tor Messenger still does not support audio and video. So call it a capitalist white conspiracy because the users have NO choice. Cheers!

No. Through hacking or criminal intent the CAs are known to generate fake keys that are certificated too. This is why there is a SSL Observatory. With any certificate you get that. Not only ,onion addresses. And there are quite a few sites in clearnet with self-signed certificates. > As far as I can tell, Facebook has two solutions to this: it > mentions the correct address in presentations, blogs and press coverage > wherever it can and its TLS-certificate mentions both the .onion address > as well as it's regular address (as Subject Alt Names).

[tor-talk] torsocks vs proxychains4
I trust torsocks more, not because it has tor in its name, but because Jake is working or has worked on it. But torsocks 2 makes youtube-dl get out of memory and swap too. proxychains4 is something I just found out. It works well. It was built for something else, although it can be used only for tor too. It is more complex and that is usually not a good thing. And there is no -i switch to generate a user/password pair. What can you tell me about these two apps?
