That is false. The presence of American agents is in no way required for the correct functioning of Tor. This is a prerequisite for technical anonymity as a concept, and is unrelated to Tor itself. You can either tolerate everything, or tolerate nothing. It is inherent to the model of...

The whole point is that technical arguments are the only arguments that matter here, because of how Tor is designed. It is 100% technical security. If the background of those developing Tor matters in any way, then Tor as a project has failed - because it was designed specifically to not make...

Not really. People would complain (because where there's money/power, there's sockpuppets and a conspiracy theory), and that really was never the claim to begin with.

I recommend reading up a bit more on these articles. Yasha Levine seems to be running some kind of bizarre feud against the Tor project, literally based entirely on fallacies. There's not a single factual or technical point to be found in any of the articles, that hasn't been widely made and...

That sounds like a good idea to me, actually, also for the longer term. Reminds me of this.

The correct solution to that, is to make all subdomains accessible over HTTPS too :) It taking a long time to get rid of HSTS is by design - that's what makes it secure, and what prevents SSL stripping attacks.

I've seen e-mail threads.

Don't forget to set up HSTS, and to add your site to the HSTS preload list. That's absolutely necessary to prevent SSL stripping attacks and the like.

That really shouldn't matter. Their supposed job is to prevent spam - not to be judge, jury and executioner on somebody's writing style. If they cannot handle complaints in a neutral manner (ie. results-oriented, rather than judging by personality as they seem to be doing), then they are not...

Certain people keep claiming that. Yet there are frequent (very plausible) stories from people having issues getting Spamhaus to respond reasonably - or even respond at all. So how does that work?

Bit of background on Astutium: Previously called Othello Technology Systems, and there exists a thread on LET about them. ICANN Registrar Accreditation Agreement breaches in 2013 and 2015. Their acquisitions are listed publicly, as mentioned in this thread before, but not updated for 2015. They...

Depends. For the best quality, just image the disc as an ISO to retain the original media streams (and the menu, extras, etc) - however, only a few players will play it. VLC is one of them (because of course it is). You can also transcode to another format, but this will result in quality loss...

Your quote header is missing.

... of all the ageist and harmful practices that permeate society at every level... they complain about a fucking birthday card? Seriously?

And there's a very good reason for that. If ColoCrossing isn't going to be transparent about their business, then people are going to fill in the blanks. The very simple solution is to stop being shady fucks. You can only control the narrative if it's a honest narrative. And from what little...

Doubtful. CC doesn't care about the community, just about the business opportunities. It's the exact conflict of interest that was pointed out from the very start.

I'd imagine that's what happens when the owners of the site just care about using it as a billboard, and the actual day-to-day staff wants to keep it a community. Conflict of interest -> burned out.

Yep. One of those PMs was me, and I've heard the same from others...

What address? I could have a look to see what it is.

That works, if you operate the VPN yourself. If you're using a third-party VPN provider, then you've likely just moved the interception point. What better way to gain lots of data to intercept, than to attract people with the promise that you won't?
