for images we can use an optional image proxy (not even web browsers do this), for relays we can use MASQUE (apple private relay)
it's not that its not solvable, but I think people exaggerate the issue. whats the threat model exactly? someone learns the rough geographical area that you're posting from?
how cool is it that we are all coordinating and communicating in a public space using cryptography and no-one can stop us. it's a subtle thing you tend to forget while shitposting and having fun, but it's still pretty mind blowing to me.
my home internet was going down multiple times a day every day for the past week, so I created some ping/monitoring scripts to track exactly when and how long and on which devices.
after I started running the script I shit you not it's been like 3 days and the internet stopped going down. what kind of Schrödinger's cat bs is this.
The only logical conclusion at this point is that the ping script is keeping my network alive
they do this to me when I start torrenting, even over VPN :[
I've done measurements to confirm it. they will throttle the shit out of me when I do, in a way thats not explained by bandwidth exhaustion. so much for net neutrality.
pings to my gateway work fine when its down just not to the external network. so its either an internal fault that I can't see on my router or there's a serious problem between my house and the uplink point.
yes I wonder if because my lightning node is exposed that it is getting ddos'd occasionally, or there is some failsafe on the ISP side that stops the attack but also takes down my internet
