hey there
Hello there
did neocities block Tor access to their main domain?
Yes, It has been an ongoing issue for roughly a year. It is hit or miss and I personally have no issues with logging in, but just accessing the home domain is not possible on a tor connection.
I trust you're in good health uncle Elda. Greetings from an apple.
I am,just very tired from 16 hour shifts and farm work. Things are well and I feel very healthy. Weather is nice here and it makes my spirits high.
Hello. I would like to establish a dialogue with you. I believe we could have an intellectually stimulating conversation, as I find similarities between your worldview and my interpretation of things.
I sent you a message if you want to talk, I am usually online sporadically throughout the day between working and being outside. I will usually come in and catch up with digital work every few hours.
hii i want to work with you
Feel free to shoot me an email or message me and we can talk it out.
Hello, so I am curious more about your complete guide for paranoid user, particularly on "How to Disappear" and "Living Off Grid" does this also work internationally? Or is it just only for US?
In theory, yes it can. I feel like most of the general rules and guidelines are fine enough to stand on its own. You can easily apply the mentality to any place and culture. By blending what is there with your own knowledge of the country you live, I feel you can easily translate it over to your own experience.
considering most of your site is text based and doesn't really do much with HTML and CSS, have you ever thought of setting up a Gopherhole?
I have actually, but I found it to be uneeded currently. I personally do not want to host it on my machine and have another mirror I need to maintain while also keeping my other sever projects afloat.
Yo benchod! What's your primary method of transportation and what's your ideal method of transportation? I found your site through doogie.neocities.org who I in turn found from videos.icum.to who I in turn found from tastyfish.cz/ It's a smol world.
My primary has always been a car, truck, or SUV. I usually find some way to modify it and strip down the features to the bare elements for simplicity of repairs. I also tend to take the passenger or back seats out of the vehicle and set up a small platform to act as a bed so I can sleep in the vehicle. My ideal however is walking. I love walking and on most days will walk 10 or more miles. That is also quite the webring, I am only familiar to doogie.neocities and will have to check out the rest.
Thoughts on SimpleXchat and GrapheneOS
I personally have never used Graphene extensively, however it is robust and had a great history of privacy protection with disk encryption and revoking app privileges to secure a smartphone. While I personally do not own a smartphone for personal use and only have a work phone that I leave in my work locker. I never needed a cell phone once I was able to live on my own. SimpleXChat uses a SMP which is secure but allows some reliance on the user not being compromised in the first place to allow in-device listening, and server choice also matters. But it does allow onion routing which is a huge boon to its anonymous features. I do not like the idea of using a smartphone for messaging securely but I would highly recommend using PGP alongside messages to add an extra layer of security.
I am going to spread your site around a bit, I have been enjoying my read so far, and the dates lead me to believe you are still relatively active. Hope to see a response soon. I will say I have been considering a thinkpad for travel purposes, and just using a usb modem w/ burner sim cards
Please feel free, I appreciate the kind words and hope you enjoy reading my content. I try to be as active as I can with my day job and maintaining my lifestyle it is difficult to find the time write. The audio files have been helping a bit, since I can talk and write at the same time about something I am interested in. I also would very much recommend doing so, I personally have done that for roughly 8 years when I was first writing this site even. I had it velcro'd to the lid of a T420 Thinkpad and a wifi-pineapple alongside it. It would guarantee I would have network connections pretty much anywhere.
Interested to know your thoughts on video games.
I have actually written a bit about this. So in my teens I was really into League of Legends and made it to Gold / Platinum several times with Mordekaiser. Then he was reworked and I could only make it to Gold with the new kit and his Ghost-Dragon. Then reworked again into his present day iteration with the Shadowrealm -R ability. So I completely stopped playing after that. I also will revisit old Nintendo and Sony Playstation titles via emulation. Currently the two games I play the most and have sunk more hours on than anything else is Endless Sky, a top down 2-D space game and GNU-Go as a board game that I have been interested in getting better at. I might spend maybe 1-2 hours a week playing these games when I have time.
I really dig the new CSS, but to be honest? the old "no CSS" site looked more based. Also, I love your site and content man. keep it up <3.
I agree, I have a hard time settling on a general theme I tend to not use css on pages I read frequently. I will have fits of customizing the site for a theme then eventually get nihilistic, leaving it to the user to add their own if reading the site as-is causes problems. I most likely will revert back to no css in the near future since, I think, conflicts with the purpose of the site and its philosophy as a whole.
Since you often discuss Debian and security/hacking tools. I'm curious about your current hardware and OS configuration (assuming you use a ThinkPad as your main machine). How do you manage multiple operating systems (Debian, Kali Linux) - do you: - dual-boot different OSes from separate partitions/drives at startup? - use live-boot Kali Linux at startup when needed? - use a dedicated machine with Kali installed? - configure GPU passthrough to run Kali or Debian in virtual machines using a hypervisor like virt-manager?
I usually keep a collection of Live-USBs. My main machine has Debian on it, its the OS I am most familiar though I frequently will use virtual machines for different OS testing and trying out different live environments. I also keep 2 Kali-live USBs and 2 Tails-live USBs. I keep one set of each in a travel bag I take with my car and another set I keep at home. I also keep a backup of my home system on a Live-USB to travel with. I mainly do this for redundancy and a way to maintain backups.
Hey, just wanted to say that I've been an avid reader of your site since 2020, and still check regularly for any new posts. I've learned a lot from the site and it has definitely influenced the course of my life; I really appreciate the effort you've put into writing and compiling this information over the years. Glad to see you're still adding more to the site—I enjoy the new audio category, too!
I really appreciate the compliment. Knowing there are few who enjoy my content really sparks joy in my heart. I hope that everything I give, everything I will continue to give, helps others grow into the people they want to be.
hello onion dropbox :-)
