I have felt... very tired these last few weeks, and not because I'm not sleeping well.

I guess I'm just suffering winter blues...

"i cant think of a title"

Covid has changed this perception that in every video/documentary/film I see now, my eyes actively look at/for people wearing masks so categorize it as Pre Covid or Post Covid. The distinction would grow as the years pass by.

Running Snikket on a server and the experience has been very smooth. Good quality audio/video calls and file transfer is a breeze as well. Took a few minutes to set up and gives 95% compliance out of the box.

Thanks @sahil for the help and giving me a server.

I encourage everyone that has a 24/7 machine running at home to set up a Tor Snowflake proxy in order to combat Tor blockages.

#tor #linux #docker #proxy

Fuck you, Apple.
Fuck you, Google.
Fuck you, Facebook.
Fuck you, Big Tech.
Fuck you, Silicon Valley.

And the warmest season’s greetings and a happy new year to everyone else!

The more 'clean' relays #Tor Network has, the stronger/more #anonymous for all.

Bridges = unlisted entry guard (*Not* exit relays).

Becoming a bridge is a safe way everyone can help. If hesitant, try the Snowflake #snowflake extension.

Fun part: seeing how many you are helping.

@aral @arunmathaisk Another piece of computing history:

As bad as WWII and Hitler were, they're the reason we have strong cryptography today and have the privacy we have in the digital/virtual world. The German army used the Enigma machine, which was heavily researched in WWII and led to a type of "crypto breaking" computing, named the bombe. Data Encryption Standard (DES) was based on the Lucipher cipher from IBM, which was replaced by Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in 2001. AES is what we're using right now to send these messages.

While there may not be a *direct* link between Enigma and DES/AES, it surely paved the way for cryptography research in the 20th century.
