I think this all just more of the same, destroying small businesses.  Putting more people on the employment/poverty roles. Certainly, if you were to say to the spooks to screw off or publicly say what they wanted, they'd disappear/charge you for exercising speech, shutter your company, etc...

Well if I were calling the beast eyes out, they would be: 1. United States 2. United Kingdom 3. China 4. Israel 5. Russia

US based data providers wonder why sales are so off and people are tweaked by the NSA spying on citizens? Here's one account of the collateral damage potential: All I can say is GOOD.  I hope assholes collaborating with the federal government and doing so slyly lose their business, family...

Edward Snowden: 'Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Yahoo, Apple, and the rest of our internet titans must ask themselves why they aren't fighting for our interests the same way'

Silent Circle, the security company started by PGP creator Phil Zimmermann has decided to follow Lavabit and discontinue its secure email offering.  They deemed that mail is impossible by its nature to truly end-to-end secure. http://silentcircle.wordpress.com/2013/08/09/to-our-customers/

Looking for recommendations of existing companies offering VPS services in Iceland.   Virtualization platform unimportant.   Only requirement is that the ownership of the company making the offer cannot be United States or United Kingdom citizen or incorporated in either country. Anyone have...

Good point/find @mitgib! This is a funny from the link you posted: "The meeting was part of the ongoing dialogue the president has called for on how to respect privacy while protecting national security in a digital era," a White House official said in confirming a report by Politico, which...

Transparent or translucent? How in the world is the big goof going to sell the public on trusting the government smelling their dirty underwear, lurking in their fridge and watching them watch television? Oh I know how, claim every person blamed for potentially being a bad guy and every made...

Ecatel appears to be a UK based company (bad).   Ties to Russian crimeware seem to be there too... No thanks on them.

I thanked you @RiotSecurity.  Those are the most popular ala PirateBay style hosts.   Voxility's network = big issues and soiled.   So a last option there.   Cyberbunker is ho-hum.   Inquired in the past and seems like a single personality operation.  Not so responsive in my experience. Keep...

Wait, it's all a smokescreen before he is whisked away on a luxurious vacation with millions of our dollars and a small army in tow.

Oh boy, Lord Oblama to the rescue: "President to announce measures to restore public trust in government surveillance, source says."   3PM conference / pep speech probably in some high school gymnasium in middle America.

My issue with these VPN services comes down to one thing, price. 20GB for $2+ 100GB for $5+ These aren't rake you over the coal numbers like US cellular carriers charge for such transit amounts, but they are high. Consider the cost of something like a SecureDragon or BuyVM VPS at $1 a month...

Tripped out. Does your OS use slave labor and have nets to catch effective slaves from jumping to their death (aka suicide).  Well, Apple does. Does your OS come bundled with NSA backdoors?   Well Apple does: ""In a tweet early this morning, cybersecurity researcher Christopher Soghoian...

Why those old MP3's sound so bad is due to the codecs and encoding of those days. Is your file losing data due to drive atrophy?  I don't think so.  If this were true, they would have increased drive redundancy eons ago.   Same would apply to all files and your spreadsheets, word processing...

PS: If you get back into biking @MannDude and don't get an Xtracycle, you can make do with the kids trailer for store runs.  They tend to carry around 100 pounds.  Large long stuff is an issue, like lumber, conduit, etc. When you outgrow those, there are these...

Oh no doubt.   But, I use PGP to encrypt my real emails with some people.  That's when I actually use email.   I'll be interested in seeing how your install goes @Amitz.  Everyone report back when they get this running or don't.

I recommend shopping the local Craigslist or similar.  Ebay is good too.  Lots of find bikes people with liberal spending buy and never ride.   I only buy used bikes :)  Like everything else, lose mass value day one. I'd keep eyes on Ebay for a Yuba Mundo, Xtracycle, etc.  All are cargo bikes...

It's usually city dwellers who should have a firearm handy.  Mass crimes reside there. However, rural folks depend on being self protected as wait times for the county sheriff or state police could take, oh an hour in places. No one gave folks the owners manual.  You are responsible for your...

It's a valid point / question @FRCorey. The code is I believe open.  Someone can review it / audit.   see: http://dnscurve.org/crypto.html see: http://dnscurve.org/out-implement.html Do I trust them?  Well at minimum we are eliminating open air sniffing of the information.  Beating the...
