What’s the solution here?. Systems that are designed to not leak any linkable PII EVEN WHEN HACKED. This means using non-traditional tech like: Multi-Party Relays, Private Information Retrieval, OHTTP, FHE etc. This is why we made @obscuravpn a Multi-Party Relay.
thousands of vulnerable women, having their PII and locations leaked and posted publicly to the same kinds of men who have harmed them in the first place. governments turning every online and offline space into another arm of the surveillance state. what's the solution here?.

“We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place.”.– A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto. An open and private internet is more important than ever. That's what we fight for at @obscuravpn.

A Remote Access Trojan Malware was found in packages for.Librewolf, Firefox, and Zen Browser last week 😰. If you were an Arch Linux users who tried to install these browsers via patched packages in the AUR, please check your system!

This is my Roman Empire. @NicolasDorier would proceed to build @BtcpayServer, making BitPay obsolete for most use-cases. What a legend.
@BitPay This is lies, my trust in you is broken, I will make you obsolete.

This is the exact problem @obscuravpn was built to solve. Two-Party Relay → Obscura can’t log even if we tried.
Your ISP sells your browsing history to data brokers. VPNs hide this from ISPs but many log and sell the same data themselves.

New Pod w/ the notorious Gwart!. Not in the recording but I was fangirling hard pre-show 😆.
I think @carl_dong has the best VPN out there (this is how I stumbled across him). interestingly, he is also a former bitcoin developer and has a wide base of knowledge in security and privacy. Check it.

James Dyson just made hair being stuck in Vacuums a thing of the past. Nobody is as obsessed with building the best Vacuum as James Dyson. Nobody is as obsessed with building the best VPN as our team at Obscura.

When I was in high school, I withdrew some Red Envelope money and bought Bitcoin at BTCChina's offices. They def didn't expect a punk kid to walk in. Apparently I was their first cash customer ever! 😆. (ofc I proceeded to lose it all gambling on shitcoins 🥲, lesson learned!)

I knew there was something familiar about the American Megatrends BIOS logo. Skynet had ring-0 access the whole time!
