Embracing Monero as banks betray our privacy
Embracing Monero as banks betray our privacy
The Bitcoiners were wrong: a blog post about privacy and bitcoin, and how they failed to design a cash alternative
How do I block all meme communities on lemmy?
For anyone who asks, we will not open source, but we may offer a licensed self-hosted version for a small yearly fee (maybe $10-20).
I’ve open sourced everything I’ve made in the past, and all that’s happened is someone with more money picks up my project, outcompetes me, and drives me out of business. I dont want our hard work going to waste.
We're building a search engine to compete with DuckDuckGo. No JS, no WASM, no spying. Just a statically generated results page.
We’re (a group of friends) building a search engine from scratch to compete with DuckDuckGo. It still needs a name and logo. Here’s some pictures (results not cherrypicked): https://imgur.com/a/eVeQKWB [https://imgur.com/a/eVeQKWB] Unique traits: - Written in pure Rust backend, HTML and CSS only on frontend - no JavaScript, PHP, SQL, etc… - Has a custom database, schema, engine, indexer, parser, and spider - Extensively themeable with CSS - theme submissions welcome - Only two crates used - TOML and Rocket (plus Rust’s standard library) - Homegrown index - not based on Google, Bing, Yandex, Baidu, or anything else - Pages are statically generated - super fast load times - If an onion link is available, an “Onion” button appears to the left of the clearnet URL - Easy to audit - No: JavaScript, WASM, etc… requests can be audited with F12 network tab - Works over Tor with strictest settings (official Tor hidden service address at the bottom of this post) - Allows for modifiers: hacker -news +youtube removes all results containing hacker news and only includes results that contain the word “youtube” - Optional tracker removal from results - on by default h No censorship - results are what they are (exception: underage material) - No ads in results - if we do ever have ads, they’ll be purely text in the bottom right corner, away from results, no media - Everything runs in memory, no user queries saved. - Would make Richard Stallman smile :) THIS IS A PRE-ALPHA PRODUCT, it will get much MUCH better over the coming months. The dataset in the temporary hidden service linked below does not do our algorithm justice, its there to prove our concept. Please don’t judge the technology until beta. Onion URL (hosted on my laptop since so many people asked for the link): ht6wt7cs7nbzn53tpcnliig6zrqyfuimoght2pkuyafz5lognv4uvmqd.onion
Update: I made a spreadsheet that ranks messaging apps for privacy
I’ve been working hard on the privacy spreadsheet, which has been in development for over 150 hours now. Its been updated, and now includes more messaging apps and more data, with a better format. I’m still working on the sidebar issue, if anyone knows how to fix it, here’s the GitHub repo: https://github.com/du82/privacyspreadsheet.com [https://github.com/du82/privacyspreadsheet.com] I’m aiming to make this the most valuable resource for privacy, beyond messaging as well, but one thing at a time.
I made a spreadsheet that ranks messengers for privacy
I’ve been working really hard to research and rank messaging apps by their privacy. The more green boxes the better. I plan to turn PrivacySpreadsheet.com [https://privacyspreadsheet.com] into a place for privacy data on everything from cars to video games. It’s all open source too on GitHub [https://github.com/du82/privacyspreadsheet.com]. Not trying to advertise, I just put a lot of time into researching all this, and I want to share it since I think others could benefit.
