This article's got some facinating numbers!
"The company counted an average of only 42 employees in 2023, down from 61 two years earlier. During the year, it generated $31MM in net revenue per employee[..]"
$31MM per employee!!
"Though OnlyFans is based around subscriptions, over 60% over consumer spending is now via transactions (and unlike say, Candy Crush, these are not micro transactions but instead add-on purchases that can cost dozens of dollars or more). Indeed, subscription revenues are up only 9% since 2021 (or $227 million) whereas transactional spending is up 70% (or $1.6 billion), representing 88% of total growth."
The following line makes me sad though:
"[..] In this sense, we should recognize that many fans are paying for parasocial relationships and fantasies of connection, rather than just photos and video."

re: replyguy bot, I've coded up some anti-spam measures to my relay which will hopefully make it less insufferable. I won't be able to shut it out entirely though because it's not trivial to match the events without impacting normal users.

You can route clearnet URLs over Tor but not tor onion urls ovee clearnet essentially.
Mobile apps and desktop apps could probably pack a tor daemon in the app to route any onion url over Tor automatically. IIRC, Amethyst did this? Is that correct @npub1gcx…nj5z?

2024-09-05 11:53:13

- reply

Your issue was probably that you tried to connect to Tor relays over clearnet? So you at least need to make sure that the connection to a Tor relay is routed through Tor.
In my experience (using nostrudel and snort), I usually add the relay, then need to reload the page for it to actually connect (or at least show it's connected). Then the events usually pops up in the feed right away.

That’s the delta calc it does to figure out what to copy/transfer? I don’t think that makes much sense in this scenario though, because this was about moving entire files that didn’t exist on the target path before

2024-09-04 20:20:48

Does #rsync usually vary very much in transfer speeds when transferring files? Moved some files today and transfer speed varied from 1 Mb/s to 110 Mb/s with very random sudden drops in speed.

Let the free market decide. No state or government should have anything to say on what social platform or protocol any person can or cannot use.

2024-08-31 08:22:12

Tor is already banned in multiple countries IIRC, so yeah, it definitely can get banned by governments. That doesn't mean the people can't use it anymore though, you just need to masquerade the traffic with tools like Tor's Snowflake software: https://snowflake.torproject.org/ or something similar. I guess it could even be your own anon VPS with a WireGuard connection.
To me, offering to connect to my nostr relay over Tor is more about the privacy benefits it gives in general. All traffic goes through multiple relays before it reaches my nostr relay so I have no way of figuring out where this person or connection comes from.

2024-08-31 08:01:46

- reply

And yes, If your native app sends some requests over clearnet and some over TOR, you'd pretty much lose the privacy benefits

2024-08-31 07:39:26

- reply

> So if I am using a native nostr or web app with only Tor relays, and this app supports outbox, the privacy benefits are lost?
Well not entirely, as long as all your connections go over Tor, the clearnet nostr relay connections will go through multiple Tor relays and then a Tor exit relay before it connects to the clearnet nostr relay. It will probably look something like this : Your Tor traffic -> Tor relay -> Tor Relay -> Tor exit node -> clearnet nostr relay.
