An IP address isn't super identifying due to how ISPs lease IP addresses. Most residential homes do not have a static, they are dynamically assigned an IP from the ISP's pool they have available. These dynamically-assigned addresses can change.

But, if you're a user at home with an IP, it could technically be correlated back to you. I imagine the ISP would also have to be subpoenaed to actually give their customer's info, though. They would see "oh we leased this IP to this customer at this time, therefore this was their traffic."

You have 3 easy ways to avoid that:
1. Don't use KF from IPs that can be used to identify you (meaning, you're the only individual who uses the network. McDonald's public WiFi will not identify you uniquely)
2. Make use of the TOR hidden service
3. Use a VPN (and also preferably blackhole kiwifarms.st in your router)

Insane how I have to take all these precautions just so I can browse the silly bird gossiping site. You’d think Null was hosting a dark web black market.

It's worse than that. Some dark web black market sites have managed to have e-commerce platforms of incredible sizes. Null just finally got a bank account not too long ago.

And this is why I've been telling you faggots, over and over again, whenever the subject comes up:

USE. TOR.

ALWAYS. USE. TOR.

This is the address you should be using when you visit this site: https://kiwifarmsaaf4t2h7gc3dfc5ojhmqruw2nit3uejrpiagrxeuxiyxcyd.onion

I registered my account using a Tor email, and I have literally never visited this site once without tor.

In particular, anyone who posts a specific copyright work (7 people in total so far) have been the subject of the subpoena under the federal laws of the United States of America.

I am not currently able to financially support the website but can someone actually subpoena financial records like that and expect to get them? If I am ever able to financially support the site I'd like to know. If I did it would affect how I would use the site etc.

#3 and #4 are a double attack. Not only are they a way to gain user information, it's another attempt to demonetize the site. If users can be identified by paying for T&E or kiwi gold, donations will dry up and the kiwis are going back in their eggs.

Yes that is my concern too. Financial records should generally be allowed to be private. That level of financial control would in effect allow the federal government to repeal the first amendment.
 
Best wishes to those subpoenaed. Please listen to your lawyers and stay safe. Also, huge props to Null for trying to protect the users and quash the subpoenas as much as he can.

I wonder how many people someone has to do this to before they never stop looking over their shoulder? Or is Dong Long Gone too arrogant to think anyone might come for him?

No one cares about this site except for its users. If Dingalongadingdong destroys KF, no one will care and this site will be completely forgotten in ten years. No one will ever see it as a point in some free speech fight.

I found one he forgot to patent/copyright :smug:

There is no Tor exit node involved if you're connecting to the .onion address, if I'm not mistaken.

edit:
I think I found the info I was looking for.

Circuit IDs
The C Tor daemon has a functionality to export Onion Service circuitidentifiers to the HTTP request forwarded to the web proxy (theHiddenServiceExportCircuitID C Tor configuration setting).

This can be used either to rate limiting requests or to give some rough estimate of unique users connecting to the service. We say rough because it will be hard to guess -- in this level -- whether many circuits means different clients or the same client opening many connections (like a script or many tabs in Tor Browser).

So while providing precise data on unique clients is not possible, it's possible to get the Onion Service "circuit identifier" for each client connecting to Onion Services. This data is not personal identifiable information, so collecting it won't expose any users.

They way to enable this for a project is to use the following configuration:
set tor_export_circuit_id haproxy

Once you enable this feature, you'll see entries like this at the NGINX log:
fc00:dead:beef:4dad::0:30 - - [11/Jan/2024:17:08:43 +0000] "GET /static/fonts/fontawesome/webfonts/fa-brands-400.woff2 HTTP/1.1" 200 73936 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0"

The "deaf:beef" IPv6-like field is the encoded circuit ID identifier. You can use it as-is or parse the way explained at the HiddenServiceExportCircuitIDin the tor(1) manpage.

You can further expose this identifier to the backend/upstream HTTP web server by using the following configuration setting in conjunction with tor_export_circuit_id:
set nginx_x_onion_circuit_id 1

This makes NGINX add a X-Onion-CircuitID HTTP header to any request passed to the upstream site, which can them be used of metrics gathering or to do rate limiting.

Just lurk and don't do stupid shit and put a spotlight on yourself, it's not that hard.
 
Can you imagine a lawyer having to type that document, regarding a @Diggus Bickus about some bullshit DMCA on some internet forum? How ridiculous and clownwordly this is?
 
His heart yearns for the authoritarian rule of the chinese communist party, you can see it in his every action. I don't understand why he doesn't just go live there instead of trying to transform the rest of the world into china through lawsuits. It is never going to happen.
