They shut down Kiwifarms, go figure.
The new UN internet only has one de facto rule:
You have nowhere to go, nowhere to hide.
The system is EVERYWHERE and it's all 1 genocide away before they know everything and you're sent to be raped and cremated alive.
I wish I understood what this was saying. Maybe someone can help me out as I’m new to this sort of tech stuff. I do run a dns filter and I’ve blocked cloudfare previously. A search of my logs for cdn brings up mostly Apple dns queries, a few random websites and other ones that are already being blocked.
Any help or insight is appreciated and any beginner type articles or resources for related content is always helpful. Thanks.
This is basically true. Modern server side tracking is essentially better than client side tracking (at least for third parties). The platform providers have ruined client side purposefully to force you to use their trafficking providers.
Second comment: a lot on CDNs are also ISPs so they have some resilience to disintermediation techniques such as VPNs
SSL/TLS encryption in HTTPS is broken by desing by existence of so-called "trusted" CA list browser account as "trusted".
Self-signed certificate in no way worse than signed by some "trusted" CA in terms of encryption. It is even better - when such self-signed certificate changes for whatever reason browser warn you about that. So you are aware that certificate changed, and you could take apropriate action, depending on the reason - either owner of site renewed certificate, or he didn't and there is some malicious activity. With "trusted" CA certificates you, suddenly will not get such warning if new certificate signed by some "trusted" CA. So, any letter agency could eaily force "trusted" CA under their jurisdiction to issue perfectly valid certificate for any site and do MitM as long as they want. And no user will ever notice that.
Infrastructure of "trusted" CA should be exterminated.
Fun fact: almost all SSL certs are now provided by the same signing authority, which means any party who gains access to said authority's secret key can pretend to be any website they want to, by simply inserting themselves anywhere in the network between you and that site.
This also means that same party could act as an SSL terminating reverse proxy for any site, including this. If that was happening, neither you, nor the site's owner, would know, but every interaction between us and the site would go directly through this man-in-the-middle.
Curating content enroute is not a new functionality; this is merely a quality of life upgrade for the elites. They've been manipulating everything you see all along.
Cloudflare becomes the ultimate 'moderator' by cancellation.
The same effect can be had by acting as publisher establishing 'moderators' who's only job is acting as censor, ignoring 'rules' or bending them to suit, or who create search programs to tag keywords to users.It's called 'keeping tabs' and is the anti-thesis to freedom of speech and Burst your Bubble of privacy and right to an informed opinion based on fact. That can't be done with a middle man who isn't the one with the information, or is attempting to limit or control that information that didn't come from them as source, and inable to confirm or refute, merely opposed or denied.
The darkest truths were always 'moderated' by lesser minds until it was discovered to be true.
Hmm...now where have I seen that recently...
Oh that's right. I made a post asking about the rules, because the mod allowed harassment repeatedly on here (certainly not just to me), and, in response, he rolls out new report function violations. Swell.
He selectively enforced the Golden Rule, called me a liar (many times now), and said I had malicious intent.
He did all this in the name of free speech, mind you. And then he locked my post to boot.
Ah, free speech.
Part of the problem is butthurt complainers asking mods to punish someone for getting the best of them. As a result, however, some mods are entering into discussion threads and throwing 'weight' around. Their opinions now become something if you oppose, you're taking a chance of being banned. But opinions they are. A lie accused me of insulting when in fact I was the one insulted. I provided sauce/proof of a point and was told "I couldn't get through the introduction" and was banned. After responding to the ban as the notice suggested, I stated my case and suggested it was personal butthurt issue and nothing more and to prove me wrong. So more days were added in spite. The point was left unaddressed. Hate to Burst somebody's Bubble, but that's worse than Reddit, at least they didn't get involved as if to set people up for bans. Worse still, a hall monitors' job isn't to gain information.....it's to report people. I've found that when an enforcer gets bored, they'll make up offenses to stay relevant. So why would a mod want to set up an algorhythmic searchable database of anons comments if not as a form of 'keeping tabs'? Just remember that enlightenment isn't done by committee, nor allowed by crybaby tattling and gatekeepers.
Those caps had me thinking of Media Matters, then Correct the Record, and then I looked that up and there was a CTR task force called "Breaking Barriers". LOL
