has the website hack thing been concluded yet and is there a writeup? dEBRUYNE?

M5M400: no

<_<

M5M400: I love Top Gear / Grand Tour

sgp_: i regularly watch old episodes. I miss the three idiots.

didn't take you for a car guy though sgp_

what are your favorite episodes?

I'm not a huge car person, but I still like being updated on them

there's a few contenders... the first toyboata one; the one where they tried to kill the hilux; the transit van on the nordschleife; polar special; botswana special

one of the first episodes I watched was the bolivia special so that one has a special place in my heart

yeah, that one was great too

I'm excited for the next season of grand tour coming out later this month

there is orbot AND Tor Browser for android now. they went full retard and blended Tor Browser + Orbot (on a different port) for the new Tor Browser. this breaks hundreds of applications that relied on integrating orbot

orfox (previous "tor browser") is not really maintained anymore, orbot is still receiving updates, but considering the above it's not unusual to have two tor daemons running on android .. one for tor browser, one to torify apps that integrate with orbot

which is a bit silly..

xmrmatterbridge xmrhaelan, will you guys look into it ? where do you guys chat about such things usually, actually? could be interesting to make some noise together

and - if anyone is in germany, I need a little favor. could you PM me?

<learninandlurkin> xmrmatterbridge is not my nick, it's just an indication that I am being related through Mattermost

<learninandlurkin> relayed*

<learninandlurkin> Are you saying the tor browser for android can TORify apps?

yes, it runs a listener on (iirc) 9150 instead of tcp/9050

if the to-torify app supports setting the port manually,t hen it should work.. i've never actually tested, but that does work for tor browser on the desktop, so I imagine that it would work for android too

<learninandlurkin> That's the coolest thing I've heard this week. I'll play around later.

<learninandlurkin> Anyone here ordered a Pinephone by the way?

<learninandlurkin> I don't appreciate that they don't accept crypto, but for $150 I may order it anyway

k, i'll stop. :-)

let me take a peek at your recent link.

Dr. Montero Realero. lol.

:D

heh, bad timing come to think of it, just posted the article on reddit but I need to run some upgrades on the server

guess these can wait until tomorrow

check briar out.

especially the talk at 34C3.

wish the rss feed was clearnet somehow. want to receive notifications when new posts are up.

will do

i've heard of it some years ago but completely forgot it existed

hmm, yeah. it should be possible to add a rss feed extension to tor browser though ?

never actually tried

i do not run tor on my vanilla pcs.

boot tails and do whatever i need, shut down, bye.

that's next level

:p

no persistence, no nothing. live bootable. do forget.

:-)

guess you're not the only one going full tinfoil mode, aye lad.

hehe

point taken :)

third paragraph i believe you type lest instead of let twice...

read: typos.

the prior article had minor details like this. just fyi.

otherwise the message and content are good.

hope you get around checking out briar's video. i've been using it ever since i stumbled it upon and has been a great experience for me and my peeps.

oh yeah, that tends to happen

i write the thing and publish immediately after scanning for errors

but a few always get through

usually I'm very premeditated and organized, but with writing I find that it just works better (minus the little typos) to not plan, just have something in mind to write about, and it more or less writes itself

true.

proofreading is tiresome and boring, but lets you show off a pristine face...

do you find the idea intriguing btw? having several/many/THOUSANDS! community members each running their own onion blogs for fun and perhaps no profit

spartacus becomes dr montero realero

kayront: seems very trivial and not bound to happen to be frank with you.

i believe it'd be easier and more possible if you just encourage people to write their own articles and post them on your website, or have them do it themselves, if Pelican allows it.

i've thought about guest posting before

and also some interviews

if cryptocurrencies are niche (small groups) even though we all think we're millions because that's what echo chambers do, people who go through the hurdles of running tor are very minimal...

dear lord, there's a head of this workgroup who said once people who want to pgp email with you are the worst and xmpp is terrible because UI/UX yadda yadda yadda...

haha

point being, easier and broader reach if on reddit than on .onion.

well for sure, as it says in the article, by going onion only you're definitely eliminating 90% of potential readers from the get go

...yet you're posting them on reddit as well?

yeah, but it links to the onion

i don't have a domain

(by choice)

you'd be surprised how many people actually come from reddit, it's more than I expected (got analytics on the weblogs)

and also from all sorts of tor-only search engines. who knew

how can you link someone from the clearnet to your onion site?

well, you make the link, and warn them that it's an onion link

i guess they're running tor browser on their w10.

smh.

if they're not torified and they click, name resolution fails, and that's that

lol

but I always warn it's an onion link to prevent that DNS leak

I couldn't tell you which OS, since tor browser always appears to be FF on Windows, but at least outside monero circles (maybe even here) windows+tor browser is the norm

losers.

well, let's just say it's not ideal :p

but even if they run windows, at least they're taking the step of disconnecting their identity from their searches and visits .. it's one small step forward

imo, anyway

ya, agreed.

<xmrhaelan> @kayront we currently have too many irons in the fire and not enough volunteers. The regulation workgroup I believe has an IRC channel but to my knowledge has not been bridged to Mattermost yet. Most of Monero Outreach chat currently happens on Telegram and Wire.

People watched about 250 hours of the most recent coffee chat so far. That's more than any other coffee chat, including the one from November 2017 with ~200 hours

The upgrade special coffee chat at the beginning of the year (March) has 182 hours of watch time

:-D
