Got it, thank you for taking the time to explain.

Isn’t there some ISP in the US that is kinda trustworthy?

Uhh I do not think so. But I could be wrong.

Thank you for taking the time to type this, I’m thrilled by your response.

Thanks for this!

No, but how am I supposed to convince someone I care about who might not even care that much about privacy/security to change their working internet setup when I don’t even fully understand the situation and can’t explain it to them?

I agree with your sentiment but I think you may have misunderstood me.

Brave?

Don’t believe they’re related

I didn’t do anything except ask for it, sorry didn’t mean to suggest otherwise.

Hey, one step at a time.

There are thousands of really cool hidden service sites with 0 users, I don’t think lemmy is at a point where splintering would be wise.

If such an instance existed I would be a big fan though.

Looks like the right person saw my post

Hey update in case you missed it, my instance saw my post and made a .onion!

https://links.hackliberty.org/post/1865469?scrollToComments=true

Got you. Yeah I’m not a fan either.

Just FYI my instance accepts onionmail, I only log in over tor.

I believe dbzer0 does as well (as well as infosec as you mentioned)

Hi thanks for the response,

Not necessarily disagreeing with you but I’ve been posting to lemmy exclusively through tor on multiple accounts for quite a while and haven’t encountered any blocking or issues.

Some instances may reject certain emails but I’ve been using onionmail with success.

To be honest I think it’s pretty easy for bad actors to spam/evade bans/etc on lemmy and tor isn’t at all necessary for that.

Doesn’t it also use cloudflare? I would avoid that if possible

1/76 on my tor

I see, sorry for the assumption.

Apologies if you already know this but there are tons of different instances of searx hosted by different people.

It’s possible the speed issue is related to the specific instance you tried, do you remember what it was?

Here is the list of all them: https://searx.space/

As I type this I realize I’m probably just not sensitive to slowness since I use tor for all my browsing lol

What do you like about those over searx?

I know this is /c/android but semi related for desktop I’ve been using and loving Freetube for a good while now.

Make sure you go through all the settings though (like sponsorblock), I recommend base theme “catppuccin mocha” btw

according to a quick search yes! not able to torrent it rn to verify however.

On Nobara you can just double click .exe files and they open perfectly with winetricks. Absolutely bonkers.

This is with an nvidia card too, 0 issues 0 config needed

It’s not as good as a real adblocker but you can install “ad guard” from the app store (you have to enable it in settings -> safari -> content blockers)
