Today is the 7th annual Ross seafood boil prepare thyself. Food pics are coming. 🦞🦐🦪🦀🍲🧜🏻♂️
Correct.
Your ISP can see:
That you use Tor. Your first hop connects to a guard relay, and all relay IPs are on a public list. The traffic is fully encrypted, but "connected to known Tor relay" = "this customer uses Tor."
Volume and timing, how much, when.
Your ISP cannot see:
Content. Thanks to three layers of encryption, peeled one hop at a time. No single party holds both ends, by design.
Destination. The guard knows you but not where you're going. DNS also resolves inside the circuit, so no DNS leaks (unlike a sloppy VPN setup).
Perhaps because your ISP can't see Tor usage (though bridges do that better), but now the VPN provider knows your real identity and that you're on Tor, a correlation choke point with payment records attached. Plain Tor never asks who you are. This is negated with some VPN provider though as not all require KYC. If you're using a private VPN and then from their connecting to Tor, you're most likely fine.
If you're connecting to Tor and then a VPN, that's bad. You're essentially negating Tor's random exit node. Tor exits rotate per circuit, a VPN exit doesn't, so the VPN becomes one persistent observer of all your traffic, defeating Tor Browser's per site circuit isolation.
It's also technically fragile: Tor only carries TCP, so UDP based WireGuard/OpenVPN won't tunnel over it without special config.
And this special configuration is very complicated for the average person that just what's some privacy.
My two sats.
That said, three letter agencies absolutely run Tor exit nodes. Why wouldn't they? They'd be terrible at their jobs if they didn't.

Nspam needs an Nporn friend.
Now that's interesting...
Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! Keep building. If you don't, LLMs may get bored and kill us all 🫂💜🤙🏻
We have to go back... Forever.

If I'm being honest, I would okay with a bunch of Nostriches, if I could find the time 🥹
Gotta make sure you have a good doctor when you get one of those. Mine was great!
I know, I know, but Twitter / X is just wild with AI doomer / AI is going to kill you content. It's crazy. It's ramping up so quickly. The narrative literally changed overnight.
Yes, but those GPUs were weren't RTX models from EVGA. RIP 😭
This looks like an old Shitcoin mining rig.
Not bad dude. Better than I can do. How long have you been playing?
The memes want it to happen.
Amazing work! Keep building.
As with all things I can be improved, but I do think it's a fairly easy experience. Give it a try and let me know what you think or what we could do to make things easier.
We even had a Monero Amethyst fork like three years ago. It was eventually abandoned, but still cool to see.
I saw this on Twitter. Great work!
I have not but now I'll check it out. Thanks.
Good morning and pura vida, Nostr! 🤙🏻💜🫂
A bit late on the GM, but never late on the mission.
But that model's capabilities aren't advanced enough to takeover the world. And it still needs a good GPU.
I feel like this community would love the Nostr. The work continues.

Entire companies in just a few prompts. Wild times.
You can celebrate someone's death but also feel sorry for the family's loss I guess.
We've had a lot of these bots over the years. Most seem to last a few weeks or months. Let's see if this new one can stick around for a while.

How many vulnerable 100K systems are out there on vulnerable networks? The hardware required to do this the is the major bottleneck of this science fiction scenario.
I would agree. Anthropic and OpenAI are definitely scared that open models are catching up and want to keep their market share.
Look at the whale over here with a 10TB+ drive.
"We can't just unplug it because it could be copying itself over to other computers. Like it's not that difficult to find yourself because an AI is just code. It could transfer itself over the internet to a different place and then you unplug it here, but it's actually still over there and maybe it makes 10,000 copies of itself and they're all cooperating."
Jacob Coxon watched Terminator 3 and recited the ending in an interview 🤣
What he failed to mention is that LLMs just cannot do this. Sure, let's say that Kimi K3 goes rogue and decides to copy itself to another computer to takeover the world. It's going to have to find computer systems with $100,000 of hardware.
Been a few years 🥹

Agora campaigns can now live anywhere on the web. Just paste a live fundraising widget into any site you control and you're good to go! Three variants, on-chain donations (including Silent Payments), no accounts, no middleman, no off-switch. Fundraising without a landlord. The way it should be.

And need to send more notes.
It's my intern 😂 I guess yes, one could consider us colleagues, but I'd say more friends. He's a great person, fun to be around, loves a good time, kind, intelligent, etc. I love the guy. 🫂🫂🫂
I've met and hung out with Will probably a dozen times. Love the dude. 🫂🤙🏻💜
there we go :) happy birthday @npub17pl…ezx0!

No. It's a different "app". You'd need to migrate your Discord community to Armada. We do have a migration tool.
Welcome back 💜🤙🏻🫂 We've missed you.
Could use some of that right now. The bacon... Nom nom nom.
