Privacy Checkup 2021

[hundredpercent]

Ahh, I see now. I'm kind of a cheap fuck and thought this would be better than the monthly subscriptions to VPNs but I guess privacy costs something, no matter what.

Or I can just go with TOR for browsing KF and all that. Dunno which option is better at this point cause they both have their ups and downs.

Common wisdom is that Tor is safe enough for drugs. child porn, and terrorism. If it's safe enough for terrorism, it's safe enough for Internet shitposting.

Biggest thing is making sure your username doesn't match anything related to you in person


I recommend using a common foreign language name, or a uncommon english word.
Examples include: Null, Queso, Salve, CiaoCiao MeLlamo, shit like that

When I set out to find a VPN, Private Internet Access was cheapest (on a multi-year subscription). Works fine, would recommend.

Also, I really like Brave. I use it on all my devices. It's got some good built-in security and is broadly customizable.

We've never had a database leak.

I am a single person with almost no resources, so it was always a matter of when, not if.

Imagine living in a country where the government knows what you do online lmao

Look at China and The Philippines where you can go to jail for criticizing the government.

I'm not going to start breaking XenForo with weird security through obscurity practices. I take steps to do things like purge old DM conversations, user history, IP logs, nginx access logs, etc. If someone has access to the database, they're have access to the salt. If that bothers you consider my advice in OP.

Ralph lives in Richmond Tennesse, not Virginia.

Also where'd Dyn's highlighted comment go?

They'll have the salt, but they can't get the e-mail.

They have:

Hash = 08e802859ecd075fa1dbedaa349960d85183f0c7fa97d39d513c841c9b8e5d4c
salt = 123

They don't have:

password email = nigger

They know that hash(??? + 123) == 08e8...
They don't know that 08e8 == hash(nigger123)

I understand your proposal. I am rejecting it.

Jersh on KF: I strongly advise against joining other KF adjacent forums like Discord

Jersh on MotI: I can't believe all my views are coming from YouTube notifications instead of Discord or Twitter followers!

The MATI shit is basically its own thing. I don't even bother advertising on the forum anymore.

you shouldn't use password managers because they steal yuor password. Best option to tattoo your passwords on your forehead. I was afraid that I was going to forget the name of my wife so I tattooed her name on my chin. Now I'll never forget...

If you made it this far into this thread you should know about Alexander Gordon Jahans.

this was fixed days ago but "le shill lion" shitposting aside, using or recommending brave's built-in tor capabilities may not be the greatest idea - if someone needs tor then they should just use the tor browser itself

 

[Professor Monkey]

no.

I wasn't going to anyway. Gotteeeem.

Common wisdom is that Tor is safe enough for drugs. child porn, and terrorism. If it's safe enough for terrorism, it's safe enough for Internet shitposting.

Lets be 100% honest:

In the minds of the people we discuss at length, usually our shitposting is no different than actual terrorism.

This isn't a child porn site. If you weren't using Tor you'd be having kiwifarms.net show up in your DNS logs. Use the Tor Browser if your government is actively arresting anyone accessing the forum regardless of their posting activity or where they are going on the site.

Reddit has (or had) organized hate communities plotting violence against certain groups, Also with very little crack down until recently. Yet the 'internet police' are looking here for criminality. What a laugh. There isn't one post on this site that advocates violence towards any specific group. People just come here and trash talk and nothing more.
