       Just curious as to whether or not there are any users around here        familiar with these projects. The first is for secure data provided in        encrypted chunks, served out by machines hosting material that they cannot        access the content of. The second is for ad-hoc wireless networking; so        long as one of the connected nodes has internet capabilities, the rest are        provided with the same. I believe it's dependent on a 801.11g protocol or        something like that that is still in development. Regardless, they're        very interesting project that I would very much like to find out more        about. They'd be extremely useful should the authoritarian 'internet kill        switch' be activated, or should an even higher of internet providers have        their data subpoenaed, in the interests of keeping access to forbidden        content online and keeping people connected to the network, whether or not        high bandwidth activities are possible.        Yeah, forbidden data has its drawbacks. As on the hidden service        network of tor, for every Egyptian fighting for a non oppressive        government to find shelter and solace in, you may well have some        cheetos-eating kiddie porn provider serving content through such projects        as darknet, as well. It is, however, a service that must continue, for        there to be truly private communication available for any citizen being        crushed under an oppressive regime.                     -The opinions expressed are not necessarily an advocation of any of the       aforementioned ideologies, concepts, or actions. We still have the freedom of       speech, for now, and I enjoy using it in a satirical or ficticious manner to       amuse myself-              "In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a       revolutionary act." -- George Orwell              --- SBBSecho 2.14-OpenBSD        * Origin: telnet://bismaninfo.hopto.org:8023/ (1:282/1057)    |
