average us congressman is just the boomer version of some reddit nerd bitching and moaning about how not giving a corporation a few dollars is basically the same as killing a baby

How about fighting the reason why those sites exist in the first place?

Nope. Only punish. Only take. They can only ask for fear, they do not want our love, except through fear.

We will need to use hidden networks like !i2p

Maybe this will get i2p out of beta...

wait can you explain what this is/how it works? I've never heard of it before

@golden_zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

Sure, i2p or the invisible internet project is a FOSS project which acts as an anonymous network anyone can potentially access, and host on.

It does this by creating end to end encrypted peer to peer tunnels between its users and then sending data through itself via a path between some of the 50,000+ volunteers that make up the project. The path data takes is random so a third party seeing any communication in full is highly unlikely, and even at that, its still encrypted.

The software that implements this is the i2p router, and when using the i2p router you become a node on the network like everyone else using it, allowing pieces of anyone's data to move through your router, just as your data moves through theirs.

The UX/UI is very good for new users and makes it easy to access, or host. Particularly, to my understanding, i2p is also very popular for torrenting due to the nature of how it works (in comparison to similar projects such as tor, there is an entire built in solution for torrenting included with i2p).

thank you! do you have any resources for someone new to using i2p?

Garry ,

Isn’t this similar to tor, and slow af??

golden_zealot ,
@golden_zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

Similar in some ways different in others, actually surprisingly fast for what it does though and I find the user experience a lot nicer than tor.

Am I gonna have to pay for a vpn that actually lets me fake being outside the ‘states? I usually self host on a VM host to avoid incurring expenses, but it seems like that’s not really an option here. Seems like I might have to go for a AWS instance running PiVPN or something.

ccdfa ,

Heads up, pivpn is now unmaintained !

KillingTimeItself ,

you could always engage in something like i2p. Less shit to be found there, but a pretty neat little place on the internet.

He [MPAA CEO Charles Rivkin] added that almost 60 countries use site-blocking as a tool against piracy, "including leading democracies and many of America's closest allies." The only reason why the US isn't one of them, he continued, is the "lack of political will, paired with outdated understandings of what site-blocking actually is, how it functions, and who it affects."

No, you're the one who doesn't understand. We don't want censorship, and we have this thing called the 1st Amendment.

MPAA is the organization that took 2600 to court over linking to DeCSS source code. All they understand is money and power and so far is worked really well. This is an organization that literally inserted itself into our society. Remove them, by force if necessary.

Australia's version is a dns block. It only stops people who don't know how to google or change thier dns.

We'll make new sites! Fuckers.

@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Or hide our sites on hidden networks like !i2p

The least productive Congress since the Great Depression? The same Congress who couldn't pass a budget for the government until 6 months into the very fiscal year it's for? That Congress? Priorities.

aphonefriend ,

What are you talking about? The current congress is incredibly effective. They just have way more important things to focus on then whatever you peasants are yammering about. Like banning tiktok.

Just hoping private torrent sites and Usenet remain relatively unscathed. Honestly I'm surprised about how many of the big private trackers have lasted so long.

Riven ,
@Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

They're not smart enough it figure out anything not mainstream. I heard most of the big sites blocked recently were live TV feed sites.

TheBroodian ,

Any effect these measures may have will be easily circumvented by a VPN
