  And CoMaps is its fork.

  That’s not my claim.

  Lol, “do your own research”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FBI admits buying Americans' location data and says it won't stop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not about me but about the advice you give to people. If you give advices you need to back them up, you can’t just answer “I disagree” to contradiction.

  I’m not saying you said it was precise. I’m just saying that not every layer is important, or even good.

  What if there are less people using that VPN IP than using that ISP IP, now your are giving more information with a VPN than without. How do you verify the claim that a VPN does not log? Spoiler, you can’t verify, it’s just trust. You have to chose who you trust enough to give them access to the website you visit.

  You’re dodging the issue. Why would an IP that’s shared and does not give precise location be as important as precise GPS location?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FBI admits buying Americans' location data and says it won't stop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No, those are not “layer of abstraction” and they do not have equal importances, claiming otherwise is counter-productive. Each data does not reveal the same quantity of information and their hierarchy depends on your threat model.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FBI admits buying Americans' location data and says it won't stop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think that’s true for mobile IPs since they are shared.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And it’s very handy for this, I have the same config for all my devices (desktop, laptop and server). Enabling and disabling different modules depending on the host it’s deployed to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another suggestion post⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why they are asking for a self-hosted solution, not a Google one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What to selfhost if you have a lot of bandwidth⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Snowflake is an entrypoint into the tor network, not an exit point. I’m not a lawyer but I don’t think there are any legal implications, or maybe in Russia or Iran. And the whole point is that its traffic is very hard to identify.

  They block with DPI so DoH would not be enough.
