Like suncream

Depends how you apply it. I smear it on like butter.

No request for me and I am not logged into a Google account. Using duckduckgo browser on a Fairphone.

Time to do some crime. Let’s go to a remote location. Turns router on, does crimes, turns it off. Goes home.

Where I live is very flat, the steepest hill is in an area they dug a bunch of clay out the ground to make a hospital.

For a few people maybe, but that wouldn’t explain the extreme difference in population densities over such a small distance. Also there is a smooth path to walk along to go left/right along the beach, its only the beach its self that is uneven terrain.

You do realise I can see them right? Many have not. You don’t really need to bring that much with you anyway.

5 mins? 15 seconds of walking out in either direction is enough for it to start noticeably thinning out.

I cycle to work and never get lunch from the restaurants nearby. Can I WFH then?

I did quit my last job a few days after they required me to do a multi hour train commute on a regular basis. Fuck that. If I can’t walk/ride I don’t want it. I do feel a little bad for the dev who is still there, I was the only one keeping a wave of stupid 1st line questions going his way each day.

Oh well, new job pays more and I can cycle to work easily. Better work environment too.

I just walk 100m along the beach and can’t hear them anymore. Most people are too lazy to walk more than that distance from the car park. A fact that is very obvious when I kayak past the coast here and can use the dense clusters of people on the beach as landmarks with almost no one between them. First cluster is the lifeboat station, second and third are cafes, fourth has ice cream.

So it’s easy to find me living at home doing nothing, and hard to track a determined criminal who would just move it when doing crimes?

I can pay for internet in cash and the only details I gave them are fake and a random username. 4G internet isn’t even tied to the same location as I can move freely.

As I’m not bothered about doing cybercrimes I don’t bother doing that much about security though.

Let them waste their time investigating, actually how do they even know your address?

Running an exit node is perfectly legal though. There would be no evidence you have done anything wrong very quickly.

First scenario is no different to running a TOR exit node. The second is why it needs to be built securely, which can be done though probably isn’t in these cases.

Wouldn’t even mind the option to let someone else use my connection a bit for a free VPN tbh, that is no worse than running a TOR node. What I dislike is the dishonesty side of it. Be open and honest then it’s all good.

Now wondering if there are alternatives that are similar to Gutenberg but for countries with more relaxed public domain laws. Like Orwell is public domain in the UK but not the US and Gutenberg doesn’t have it.

Could look at mirroring Project Gutenberg.

VLC, I just rsync my library to my phone with a script when at home
