Tor hidden service

Nyam cat for sure

The first thing is knowing that it exists. I am downvoted all the time for suggesting the use of Monero as private currency.

I pay for proton plus in my own domain and have them linked together so that I can just use whatever email address at my domain I wish and can easily switch email providers if I decide to. The hardest part was setting up the DNS records properly for DMark and shit.

Use the websites whenever you can. That’s what I do at least. Although I had to stop using Lyft entirely, because they stopped supporting rides from their website apparently. And that leaves just Uber. I actually left my bank for a similar reason. It supported my phone just fine, and it worked without Google Play Services, but the website wouldn’t let me do everything that the app would, and the app required that I have Aurora Store to download their banking app from the Google Play Store, and I wanted to get away from that, so I switched banks so that I could use the bank website instead. From what I can tell, you run into this kind of stuff a lot with FinTech apps. But if you use older banks, like Discover or Wells Fargo or things like that, they tend to work better. Maybe because they’re not up with the newest technology, LOL.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s great that you figured this out. But why did you not consider this sooner? Wouldn’t it have been obvious that you would have to have the phone unlocked and that having a police person have any access to an unlocked device would be a real problem?

I mean, it’s obviously the only solution, right? You don’t have to pay for a domain name. You don’t have to pay for a hosted IP address. You don’t have to forward ports. You don’t have to do any of that shit. Plus, you’re on the darknet, and everything should be on the darknet. All the time.

Correct, it will be in the dark net. And it’s as secure as your web server. So I guess if your web server is set up in a very insecure manner, it would be very insecure as well. But since nobody would know the onion address besides you or anybody you give it to, it should be all right.

You add the tor repo, install tor, edit /etc/tor/torrc with hidden service info, set the port as 8080 and systemctl restart tor. Then you get a hidden service address in like /var/lib/tor/hiddenservicename/hostname. It’s a long string ending with dot onion and once you have that you just put that into the tor browser.

Glad you got it working, but you could have hosted it with a tor hidden service and not had to pay for a public IP address and shit.

I was just wondering about this since I do not use any kind of Google Play Services or the Google Play Store so that is good to know.

I’m not sure of any specific printers but do be aware of the micro yellow dots because printers will do that and it gives away printer information such as the model and stuff.

Okay, yeah, that’s a fair point.

Once it passes, whether it be this year or 10 years from now, people are just going to have to decide to break the law. If everybody breaks the law and there’s basically no possibility of enforcement, then the law doesn’t matter.

This is more of a government versus the people fight. No matter what form of government it is. Citizens should have privacy. Although they do not seem to be willing to fight for it. But all governments, no matter what type they are, want control.

I’m not even a European and yet I can see that this is going to be one of those on again, off again fights until they finally wear people down far enough that they don’t voice their outrage and get it passed.

I host my own Monero node

I think I heard cake wallet is able to do NFC payments for places that accept Monero.
