It is dangerous if you give the technology to only the oppressors. If you release it to the world open source, you will better the free world and scientific community.

This is a disgusting over reach of power as usual by the American TLA's.

Please remember to always use a VPN, Tor, or other similar technologies when using the internet to shield your self from basic infringements of your privacy like this.

I was going to post something very similar, as I would use it specifically to watch videos that want me to give up information and sign in. I don't find that reasonable, thus I adjust accordingly my taking these countermeasures.

You are being downvoted to suppress your well thought out information. It would be nice if HN had a public ledger of who up or down voted a post. You would click on the post and could see which usernames voted and which way. It would bring much needed transparency to combat these information suppression abuses.

It's the same evasive maneuvers that are used on Reddit.

I would kindly suggest you stop wasting your time engaging them in their corp. troll techniques.

If you have additional questions hopefully other members can answer them here.

They were compromised. Look up what a certain agency does to foreign nations.

One of the funniest things I heard in awhile is when Kreb's said the election was the 'most secure history'

Well that's if they are smart and there has to be a strong market for Monero. BTC is king in that aspect.

I would really like to know, if someone could, the definitive answer to if using a VPN would prevent the malicious packet?

Do we even know at this point?

If the police are using untraceable cash, that should tip anyone off that what they are doing certainly isn't something good, even criminal.

Law enforcement always needs to be visible and held accountable to the public, never any 'exceptions'.

Ever since Twitter was seen to act in favour of one side politically than the other, I highly doubt it was just a 'glitch'.

You are completely correct about the nodes being run for all sorts of nefarious reasons. Although, there are a small number of nodes rub by enthusiastic individuals but it's rare.

Reddit has tons of actors spreading disinfo especially about VPN's never trust the info from there without serious vetting.

This is very relevant. Many of us work in tech, are married, and know of this couple., just for starters.

It's so very sad every time there is controversial topics, out come the bot armies and flag/down vote them into oblivion. How can HN have such strong. encroaching censorship?

There doesn't even seem to be many people disagreeing that this is very much on topic.

We need such an accountable agency more badly than any of the other govt projects being funded right now.

This may or may not have happened to myself, and with a different agency.

It's more common than one may think. The only sensible thing you can do is tell them to fuck off.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

Only children trust Signal. A "private" messenger that only works by attaching to your phone number. Another nail in the coffin.

Edit: Look at that, negative points on my post that fast. We sure do have TLA's in here screening every single comment, while ensuring that this thread stays out of the front page.

Guys, give it up already. No one with a bit of intelligence falls for your "app-traps"

This is for sure not a duplicate and should be restored to it's rightful spot.

Edit: Also, you cannot post on the other link for some reason?

Thanks, would have never known something so bizarre.

I am so thankful to work in an environment where everyone is just... normal.

We don't have to walk on egg shells when speaking. Men and women can still interact like it was before I started reading about such insanity.

It sounds like you have grown much and now are one the good guys. Job well done.

Did he tell you anything juicy?

Thanks for this, I was using something similar called Opensnitch, which is unfortunately buggy and not as capable as Little Snitch.

This is not the first time, as Catalina was one of their last to push less crap like this.
