They could observe a connection to the server, big difference. If the site is on a WordPress domain, that IP might lead to a load balancer that manages hundreds of sites.

Of course the reverse is also true, so for for example Facebook, of you hit one of their IPs, then its obvious what you’re accessing

It’s just another way of minimizing your attack surface. It’s pretty much the same as hiding behind a barrier when being shot at, you stick yourself out as little as possible.

In the same way it also helps to change your SSH port to somewhere in the high numbers like 38265. This is anecdotal of course, but the amount of attacks on SSH went down by literally 99% by just changing the port like that

Then you accept only keys, you lock down root (so the username must be guessed as well) and yeah, you’re safe.

Nice

Well they do need money and where else could that be coming from? Oh yeah, big tech corporations, not that much better

Tech bros are only interested in getting the results from open source. They want the free software from their slaves, they aren’t interested in paying anything.

Tech companies, for a while, added a bit to open source as it was in their own self interest, but they still shut out everything that wasn’t them, they still make the internet in the horrible stonewalled garden that it is today. No account? Half the internet isn’t accessible to you anymore

Fuck all the big tech and social media companies

Every year we have summer

Every year we have a bunch of dip shits believing encryption isn’t necessary

Every year we have a bunch of dumb idiots proposing that it is very doable to build a secure backdoor into encryption

Every year…

We need to make encryption a constitutional human right in the entirety of Europe

This very message might already be cause for incrimination at this stage

Leave your phone at home

Option one: just don’t go to the USA

Option two: if you really have to go, don’t take your phone.

Option three: if you really need a phone, take a burner

Be sure to not have any Google or Hotmail account, as in unsure about their “powers” to force you to login to your email accounts. Have a non US mail provider at the very least.

I’m sorry, what now?

There is no place on this earth with better privacy protection laws

Yeah, it’s still far from perfect but to call ot the greatest threat is just disingenuous, it’s a lie. It’s shouting FIRE in a movie theater because someone smokes. Stop doing this shit

Leave the country. Seriously

Why are you there? The US always had been a shit hole but now I really don’t see why you’d want to live there

Your phone isn’t your phone as long as you run either google or apple software…
