There was a Karl Marx anime, so anime Karl Marx 👀

for real. small country that stays in its small part of the world and doesnt really bother anyone? definitely the first to nuke! definitely not the globe spanning empire that has already used nukes at war.

its a packet and internet analyzer, im mostly concerned with security issues so i constantly check packets on outgoing connections. for apps where the internet is unimportant i disable their ability to access the internet. the vast majority of security issues are solved by preventing internet access.

occasionally a small project shows up on my radar. usually its an alternative frontend for discord, youtube, etc that has not stellar security but much better than what youtube or discord gives you out of the box. ive submitted maybe 1000 detailed security issues on github to small open source projects, many have been implemented 🤓

bazzite is the way to go imo. it feels light years ahead of all the other gaming focused distros, ive tried all of them. it does take getting used to, but once you figure it out, its rock solid. nothing breaks. its almost boring in a way, lol. everything just works and i basically never have to fix or research anything. ublue has an insane amount of contributors on bazzite in comparison to other gaming distros as well, ive submitted many issues to them and patches are applied quickly. for example: garuda has around 9 contributors, cachyos has around 7, nobara has maybe 10, popos has 39 (some are full time employees). what does bazzite have? 113 or so. but they’re also not a typical distro, theyre an image of fedora kinoite/silverblue. a lot of the effort is shunted onto the supermassive org (24k+ contributors) that fedora/rhel is and many of their patches are upstreamed. the update process is very seamless and smooth due to this method of organization.

just remember to install most things through flatpak, distrobox, and brew. and you’re set. i love atomic for cluing me into distrobox, distrobox is straight up the laziest way to use linux and i love it. if you need some niche program that some dev only released .deb files for or only fedora/opensuse/aur commandline instructions, its got you. it just works. its somewhat similar to WINE and lets you run any linux distro installer and program as natively as possible.

also look at this fun graph for fedora atomic spins. as an fyi the fedora project as a whole has around 300k active users

Occasionally. Not big projects like Krita. I regularly check apps with Wireshark, most apps should be entirely offline. I also turn off internet access with flatseal.

Hermeticism is the origin of most conspiracy theories if you dig deep enough. Truly the OG brainworm

I’ve actually tested doing addons to the browser and keeping permanence, and I found it good for my use cases and my specific add-ons (add-ons that do not access DOM). Most major sites don’t have the tech to actually fingerprint it that way. Yes, it does harm the potential fingerprinting, but if you are careful and make it so that private browsing mode basically resets it to default, you can turn it on when you need to. The biggest issue is turning cookies on imo.

Of course, only do this if you know what you’re doing, know your requirements, and know the ins and outs of how fingerprinting on particular sites work. Its perfectly reasonable to main mullvad browser with its baseline setup.

Yeah Mull is a different project. Mullvad browser is better than Mull (now Ironfox) tho lol.

Confiscation of the domain isn’t a big deal. As I’ve already said, there are many anonymous hosting providers that have been tested on the Israel issue and came out the other side. 1984 is one, ADL served them an injunction in court in Iceland and 1984 was successful in fighting it and also avoiding divulging any info about activists.

If you wanted to it’s also possible to proxy server traffic so that the main server is never divulged which makes it very easy to swap domain names and providers. I consider this overkill for this use case though, would be necessary on a streaming site or something, though that should be hosted in Russia to avoid issues anyways, Russia essentially allows for the piracy of non Russian data.

Hostile takeover? Not if you don’t share credentials. The passwords and so on should be random and encrypted.

And yes, if Germany is going to execute you for potentially hosting a small social site that occasionally could criticize Israel you’ve got bigger problems and should choose to fight or flee.

I’d argue every small social site should run on the principal that they will be prosecuted like an illegal streaming site. You can divest yourself of liability and doxing with basic opsec.

An example: host on 1984.hosting and pay with mined or donated Monero. Only access the site through a computer specifically for that purpose, and only with Tor / Tor Browser and a Linux distro such as Qubes, Tails, or less suspiciously, Fedora Atomic. Memorize credentials if possible, if not encrypt them on drive with a strong password via a keepassxc databases. If you are hosting the site properly, you can transfer the site podman/docker container and url with databases and info intact with no effort. Make sure the computer for managing site management stuff wipes itself on every shutdown sans credential info, has secureboot, and an encrypted drive. As an admin account, only access the site through base Mullvad Browser with a VPN (ideally Mullvad) or Tor Browser on a computer of your choosing.

You can easily say the site is no longer yours and your payment information will reflect this. This has been done before. Germany can ban the site but it’ll be easily discoverable through other fediverse servers, Tor, and VPNs. They would have to ban anything that uses acitivitypub, and again, even in that scenario you can use a VPN or Tor or self host a vps with the instructions above to access it normally anyways.

Yeah it’s not really suitable as a daily driver. Mullvad is imo

Mullvad browser and Tor browser are the only serious options for privacy on the internet. Librewolf, cromite, Firefox, brave, etc will get you fingerprinted. If you care about security more than privacy, use a chromium based browser. Personally, I use Mullvad browser with Vpn (use only protonvpn, mullvad, or ivpn, they have had security and legal tests) it’s the best combo of fast and private.

For mobile, the options are more limited. Ironfox, Cromite, and Vanadium (GrapheneOs) are the best bets for daily use. Tor Browser is the only one that actually stops fingerprinting however, but it is difficult to recommend it as a daily driver, it’s more of a tool.

Unforced error really, there’s a lot of secure hosting providers that take anonymous payments. Could easily say you transferred domain control to someone else to avoid liability when the law passed. They’re doing this because they have no convictions and are lazy at best, at worst they support Israel.

What I’m doing is illegal in my jurisdiction, ICE showed up for a reason. The law can eat my ass no one should be homeless

I’m a communist trans woman with guns who helps house people for free in the USA. I’ve had ICE and police show up to my doorstep before. For some reason, I doubt a bunch of cishet white nerd guys in Germany are about to have as many problems as I do for hosting anti israel content on a small social site.

My story is kind of boring, I apparently become very charismatic when crossfaded. I just had an amicable mutual breakup I was very sad about and somehow I convinced every girl in this pretty big college party to cuddle me and let me half-sleep on their thighs (these are people I barely know). So like imagine a long couch and me half-sleeping on 6 girls’ laps. Everyone knows I’m a lesbo and I was in heaven there for a bit cause there was a lot of skin on skin contact

This is a bit embarrassing to me but obviously is very tame.

So high you become a cat

Genuine freak shit. Maybe wait until the government bothers you, don’t preempt them
