What's stopping directory authorities from being malicious and only accepting relays that they control?
What's stopping them from all colluding to do that, since they are (in Tor) hand chosen by the team and hard-coded into the binary?
Okay, yes, Tor users have to trust the Tor project anyway as they have a near monopoly on clients (except, I guess, for Orbot, which is being replaced with the in-house TorVPN anyway). But that just raises more questions.

🐾 Wichtige Katzenmitteilung von Lilly 🐾

Keine Sorge, ihr lieben Menschen und Fediverse-Freunde 🤍
Ich packe nicht meine Koffer ins Nirgendwo – ich ziehe nur ein bisschen um.

🐘➡️🌐
Mein Tagebuch-Account wandert von Mastodon nach Friendica.
Der Grund: Diese Mastodon-Instanz wird in ca. 3 Monaten beendet.

✨ Ganz wichtig:

* Alle bisherigen Tagebucheinträge bleiben bis dahin hier erhalten
* Meine Tagebücher gehen nahtlos weiter
* Ich nehme alle Kontakte mit nach Friendica
* Es kann sein, dass ihr über den Umzug automatisch informiert werdet

Und jetzt kommt das Sahnehäubchen auf dem Katzenfutter 🍰:
😻 Ich bekomme eine eigene Webseite!
Dort wird mein komplettes Tagebuch gesammelt veröffentlicht. Toll, oder?

🐱 Fazit:
Katze Lilly bleibt.
Die Geschichten bleiben.
Das Fediverse ist groß – und völlig egal, wo ich mich gerade räkeln.
💞 Wir bleiben verbunden.

Sanftes Schnurren
eure Lilly 🐾💫

MIST1025/ZII-WIZA

Mistigram: Hocus pocus! Artscene veteran @zeusii drew these #ANSIart takes on a magical wizard for the Katzenpost Post Quantum Mix Network (Revolutionary post-quantum packet switching anonymous communication!) It was included in last month’s spooky MIST1025 artpack collection.

@icedquinn Correction: #Katzenpost implements its protocols as a framework so it may be possible to use that instead of doing from scratch.

Still, hardly as simple as just using the Tor Controller protocol or I2P SAMv3

something that would be super cool is if @VeilidNetwork server node operators could install tor and allow #Veilid to socks5 its outbound connections through Tor out an exit relay before completing its path

but ofc that's all childsplay compared to pushing all #Veilid traffic through #katzenpost

that's one thing i didn't hear in the #defcon talk-- they dont seem to care about nation state actors, which is really weird

"would have to surveil the entire network" is legit misinformation/ harmful

#veilid better be supporting #katzenpost or it's already legacy

Just simple question, would SimpleX.chat benefit from server side #mixnet / #onion #routing. Like #Katzenpost - katzenpost.mixnetworks.org - It's much lighter option for the clients than handling #Tor directly. #simplexchat
