  • I shop from small businesses when it’s more convenient (which is actually more common than you’d think when you don’t have a car).

    Mini markets are closer than supermarkets and stay open longer so I’ll often get groceries from there even if it’s more expensive.

    When looking for a specific piece of equipment there are some things that can’t be delivered or they’d take an eternity to arrive so I find which stores sell it and go to the physical store, which is usually a smaller local place.

    I don’t know if thrift shops count as small businesses but they’re also more convenient than going to big clothes shops.

    And I guess most restaurants are local businesses too.


  • From the link, since I think this is the part most equivalent to DNS.

    The Onion Service assembles an Onion Service descriptor, containing a list of its introduction points (and “authentication keys”), and signs this descriptor with the Onion Service’s identity private key.

    The Onion Service upload that signed descriptor to a distributed hash table, which is part of the Tor network, so that clients can also get it.
