| broadly yes, but the real question is: what's your threat model? https://ssd.eff.org/glossary/threat-model |

| Low stakes (IP violations etc.): absolutely High stakes (military / nation state scale): no |

| This FUD comes up whenever Tor is mentioned on Hacker News. The answer is: let's say you think Tor isn't 100% flawless. What are you going to do? Not use Tor? It's better than any other option. |

| ▲ | impossiblefork an hour ago | parent [-] | | What you'd do is that you'd write a distributed remailer where fixed-size messages are sent on fixed timeslots, possibly with some noise in when it's transmitted, with a message always being sent on its timeslot, even if a dummy message must be sent. I've been writing a system like this in Erlang, intended to be short enough that you can take a picture of the source code and then type it in by hand in a reasonable amount of time, as a sort of protest against Chat Control. I'm not sure I'm going to release it-- after all, they haven't passed it yet, and there are all sorts of problems that this thing could needlessly accelerate, but I've started fiddling with it more intensively recently. | | |

| ▲ | impossiblefork 37 minutes ago | parent [-] | | I'm not sure. Freenet actually stores information, this is pure communication system. I don't think it uses dummy messages. My target size is also <500 lines, and I think <200 is feasible, whereas Freenet is apparently 192,000 lines. |

| hey, would you mind elaborating (with sources)? |
