It seems so strange to me that we are locked in battle with providers mining our lives for whatever, and we have to work our asses off trying to stay anonymous, to the point of being denied service (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

or even pseudo-incriminated for attempting to maintain our own life.

It seems so stupid that I'm like a suspect for wanting an exchange of information without dropping my pants and bending over. No, I don't want cookies. Yes I want to read the article but no, I don't want to "sign up."

It makes me feel like being a f*cking hermit. But I prefer to pirate. Even though I'm not that good at it. Screw them. I got two private trackers, a VPN, and I hope that's enough.

You know what would be pretty baller? A VPN credit union kind of thing where people ask over the place have their IP substituted with anyone else's in the network! Just join in with a certain minimum of bandwidth?

I'm not sure I would want my ip address being tied to the activity of a large amount of strangers who want to hide their IP address. Seems like a good way to get a visit from the friendly neighborhood black van.

I think it'd be more valuable if ISPs linked together and let you cycle through different routes for different exit nodes.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I'm pretty sure you'd have a perfectly good explanation.

Herd immunity?

I kinda wonder if this is what TOR does.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah I'm not super technical but that was my first thought

[–] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

That's kinda TOR I guess
