 I have tremendous respect for these legends of open source that navigate public life whilst maintaining their privacy.

I think about the constant vigilance it must require, especially at conferences or other big events.

The physical manifestation of trying to use a VPN without somehow leaking you IP.

So I #asknostr,​ who has the most based outfit/disguise?

The contenders:

 gigi green gets my vote for outfit

but i met rockstar irl. he is a fucking based human being. in any case a close second with the forever suit coat 
 Whomever is in the green bodysuit because that’s gotta be hot. So much conviction. 
 Pillowcase Gigi hands down. I had such a hard time watching that interview without cracking up. 
 Gigi all the wayyyyy 
 Pillowcases takes it! 
 Seriously, why did they go that route? Is it safe for them to keep their identity hidden by showing up at events? Btw, I like Gigi’s🧡n bit worry about it. I recognize his voice verywell 
 @ROCKSTAR gets my vote 
 Gigi wins it with the purple gloves 💜 
 Purple gloves indicates fear of leaving finger prints… Does Gigi have a criminal record?! 
 We're all criminals here 🤗 
 LARPing to max levels.  
I appreciate the intent, but you can't get on a plane looking like that.  

It its pretty phony.  
 I don't imagine they are getting on planes fully kitted out, nor do they need to 😂 
 the intent is solely during interviews/media. they dont dress like that to thanksgiving dinner. 
 You should use Tor over VPN when it comes to anonymity and to reduce trust. Tor > VPN 
 Don't disagree. Very simplistic analogy on my part.  
 FFS 🤦🏻‍♀️ I think my human suit is pretty damn good considering this is me in my real form ‼️🫡🫂

 So come to events dressed up like this to get in free? Noted. 
 I don't quite understand what's the point. Every interested party - and of course any government - can trivially find out who they are.

Sadly, if you really want to remain private, it's hard even if you don't go to conferences. 
 They’re three legends worth following and protecting  
 I don't know, but made me think of this guy from The Prestige. 
'The dedication to their craft...'
