@froge @fj I'm not replacing @signalapp with "random tools" but good options.
Like @delta & @thunderbird as well as @monocles / #monoclesChat & @gajim which work flawlessly over @torproject / #Tor using @tails / @tails_live / #Tails and @guardianproject / #Orbot respectably.
Considering the costs of even acquiring and upkeeping an #anonymous #SIM, I'd rather pay €2 p.m. for #XMPP+#OMEMO and #PGP/MIME-supported #eMail with the option of self-custody than $2,50+ p.m. just to keep a phone number.
Or is anyone here expecting @Mer__edith to risk jail for life amd not comply with #CloudAct?
It stenches like #ANØM, because NOTHING IS FOR FREE and running a #VCmoneyBurningParty is expensive...
@CppGuy yeah, @torproject really got better since I started using @guardianproject / #Orbot 15 years ago because in #EDGEland, #Tor is a #PerformanceProxy!
From 8.35 TiB to 8.70 TiB! Yay!
This one's now more accurate since it's been more than a week now.
Goddamn... 8.70 TiB. That's so much bandwidth coming from a mere home network but like I've said, WE REALLY HAVE UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH !!!
Standalone Snowflake proxy update 8
Uptime: 3d 03:16
Total download bandwidth donated: ~511 GB
Total upload bandwidth donated: ~531 GB
Monthly estimated bandwidth donated is down from 8.48 TiB to 8.35 TiB. Alright...
Snowflake proxy update 7
Uptime: 7d 14:41
Total download bandwidth donated: ~1.20 TB
Total upload bandwidth donated: ~1.26 TB
Last screenshot before I put the Snowflake proxy down for a bit to do some changes in the BIOS (more below)
Total estimated bandwidth donated went down from 8.53 to 8.48 but that's alright.
rx = 4.15 TiB (4.56 TB)
tx = 4.33 TiB (4.76 TB)
total = 8.48 TiB (9.32 TB)
Snowflake proxy update 6
Uptime: 7d 08:27
Total download bandwidth donated: ~1.07 TiB (1.18 TB)
Total upload bandwidth donated: ~1.12 TiB (1.23 TB)
Finally, a week has passed... I dunno. It just feels really awesome to do this for free.
Our internet got cut off for about 6 hours or so (for some reason) so yeah it tanked down to 8.53 TiB, but that's still big honestly. A decent HDD has that amount of space.
Snowflake proxy update 5
Uptime: 6d 23:22
Total download bandwidth donated: ~1.02 TiB (1.12 TB)
Total upload bandwidth donated: ~1.07 TiB (1.18 TB)
The first Tebibyte (Terabyte). I can now safely update the system. Petabyte next? Idk..
#WhatsMissing: A tool to check if #TorBridges are still available/online/reachable that one can use either #standalone (with #TorBrowser and/or #Tor Expert Bundle) or on @tails_live / @tails / #Tails.
Whilst I do acknowledge that @torproject do disrecommend having a huge list of Tor Bridges on hand, I do regularly need them for contacts who are behind a #GreatFirewall and can't #SSH-Tunnel out of it.
Espechally being able to filter for #IPv4only and not just #IPv6only is something I miss, alongside the filter for #PluggableTransports type as @guardianproject #Orbot seems to only handle #obfs4 and not webtunnel or #meek at all...
These past few days I've been noticing the increased network usage of my standalone Snowflake proxy vm at night times (UTC timezone). Idk, just an observation.
Graph's from my Proxmox server WebGUI, btw.
HOLY! Estimated 10 TiB in a fucking month?!?!
There's no way. I gotta wait a week for a more accurate measurement but.. how in the actual fuck?!
Snowflake proxy update 3

Total download bandwidth donated: ~556 GiB
Total upload bandwidth donated: ~581 GiB
Snowflake-proxy got migrated to Proxmox. Looks like I've donated over half a terabyte in just 3 days! YAY!
These are the connections that have been made over 6 hours of packet capturing. I'm assuming these are the estimated locations of the clients' ISP that have connected to my snowflake-proxy.
Well then, hello world!
(1/2) After hours of looking around for a tool to determine the geographical location of the users using my snowflake-proxy, I finally got them!
The sticks o' RAM are finally here !
Time to set up the home server dedicated for the snowflake-proxy, pihole, locally self hosted stuff and more other stuff !
The snowflake proxy updates go live @ https://twitch.tv/lazybearstuff.
It's 7 pm where I am right now so I'mma go take a long nap lol. Have fun browsing the free and open internet, everybody!
Snowflake proxy update 2

Still waiting on the new RAM for the server before I migrate this VM there.. I really wanna upgrade my Arch Linux host so bad!
