@bdf2121cc3334b35b6ecda66e471 @froge @fj maybe but it's better than a #proprietary, #SingleBendor & #SingleProvider solutiom as it just works even on #throttled, sub-#2G speeds over #Tor...

• And you get real #E2EE with #SelfCustody of all the Keys!https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114223266562515116

@snep espechally on mobile!

• In my 15+ years of experience, @torproject / #Tor works as a #PerformanceProxy on #throttled #mobile networks in #EDGEland since #MNO|s and #MVNO|s don't properly negotiate a "link width" but #throttle by #dropping packets, adding #TCP #SlowStart as #latency.

OFC it won't make shit go faster, but more reliable.

• #latency is shit on all mobile networks that ain't straight-up #IP-based like #WiFi, Tor doesn't add that much to it...

In fact, Tor makes #throttled connections bearable for me for >15 years, as even back in 2008 one couldn't just get "unlimited data", espechally not as an individual (school child) without income or wealth!

Issues aside it's now 15 years since I started using #Tor / @torproject & @guardianproject / #Orbot on #Android full-time.

• Not just for #privacy, but because it acts as a #PerformanceProxy on #throttled #German mobile networks!

Because in #EDGEland they yeet users to 64kBit/s if not even lower to 16kBit/s past paid bandwith and instead of properly renegotiating the bandwith, they trottle connections by reducing the packet rate / dropping packets, making it as #laggy as a #GSO-based #SATCOM connection!

• On top of that, almost all #MNO|s & #MVNO|s illegally use RFC1918 Address space, *espechally 10.0.0.0/8 for #CGNAT, thus bricking #VPN|s and sadly @BNetzA doesn't really give a damn!

You BitTorrent your favorite Distro to get it downloaded faster.

I BitTorrent my favorite distros after my mobile data has run out to give my mobile carrier a middle finger for not offering a real & uncapped data flatrate at a reasonable price!

• We are not the same!

You use FrogFind to get online with your vintage computer.

I use FrogFind to get online over Iridium and EDGEland-speed throttled mobile networks.

• We are not the same!

@Melissabeartrix @Tattooed_mummy I see #AltText & #ImageDescription as both a necessary work and opportunity to #DoBetter...

• Yes it'll cost me time and slow me down #shitposting or whatever but I do also oftentimes interact with the #Fediverse on #Narrowband (cuz #EDGEland) and I'm glad I can still use it on my mobile at #throttled #2G speeds.

• Also I do have #blind followers and I think it's important to also let them access the conversation - or at least give them the choice to do so.
