Tor browser

TOR = The Onion Router

I just DL’d it last week. I did some reading and found that apparently using it makes you a target for surveillance these days. Evidently the powers that be decided that if you use it, then you must have something to hide. Maybe that was just paranoia?

I never used it.

What is the Tor network? The anonymous internet, explained

With the Tor network and browser, you can surf largely anonymously. Security-conscious users should be aware of the background.

Defend yourself against tracking and surveillance. Circumvent censorship.

The browser itself is based on Mozilla Firefox.

I’ve used it on and off over the years and haven’t been arrested yet. 😉

When will these damn boomers just die already???

Turns out the vaccines they gave us during to 60s were actually vampire serum. We’re never dying!!!

And like a vampire you’ll be sucking the blood of the greater economy forever!

Come and get me Van Helsuck!

Oyaji reply, but maybe I should change my name to Van Helsinki

That was a Gustaf reply not Oyaji. I expect you insulted both, good job.

I meant by Oyaji reply that I replied to a 17-day-old post, but maybe these days it should be a reply to a five-year-old post to qualify as an official Oyaji reply.

What’s wrong with that? Do you think thoughts and ideas have a shelf life?

Nothing, if it was just about a couple of posts every now and then, but systematic old post digging and replying to them is kind of annoying.

I thought you were going to advocate a purge of old posts here. Maybe burn some books too while you’re at it.

Why would I burn books? I’m not a MAGA dumbass.

No, not all books or posts. Just the ones you think should not exist.

Why would I burn books? I’m not a MAGA dumbass.

Oh, my bad. For a minute there I thought you were complaining about me replying to 5 year old posts.

I was.

You did more than complain. You might as well have burned it with your 20 pages of grotesque porn spam to bury it.

It was a dead thread for a coupla years and I was the only one in it until a coupla others became interested in what I was digging up, but you just had to be a nazi and enforce your will, didn’t you.

Not sure where else to post this but did you guys notice chrome had some kind of update a couple of days ago that disabled a bunch of addons, including adblocks?

Yeah, Google has been at war against ad blockers and shit. Been using Chrome, but probably am going to change up over this. I have Brave and have not been super happy as it gets fucked up on some websites. Also have Firefox but hear mixed bitching about that one too. Thing that sucks is I am tied to Chrome for some shit so will have to learn to go back and forth.

If you use the same set of plugins/extensions as in Chrome you should be fine.

I’ve got an old desktop computer with a lot of unedited captured video from TGTCWTOOBF on it, some of which I’d like to share with @Slpr (yes, that vid of Fenrier fighting me in a DB-7, with Johnny70 making a special guest appearance). I got the machine to boot, and found I don’t remember the login password! OS was Win7, foolishly upgraded to Win10. Had no PW before, Win10 demanded one, then I forgot it because I never used it.

Any hints? I thought about using a password cracker - any recommendations on which is/are best? Make an Ubuntu boot drive and screw around with it that way? TIA

Typed in Wrong app …lol

@oyaji Well, me being more of a hardware guy I would simply rip the respectivce hdd out of the rig and since there is no encryption on a windows fs plug it into your current working station to gather the files.


So long Slpr

Thx, but I have no where to put those drives other than on my desk. They won’t do any good there.

Plus the captures are on 2 drives, striped, a level 0 RAID. I did that for speed, in the days before SSDs.

@Slpr thx, watching this now

[oyaji]

@Slpr I’ll try this next rain day. Maybe it will work. I found some other stuff when I looked, too - will try that as well.

Thx again.
