Is this the only point, when it comes to security? In my experience, the ease of use is also a factor. Today, VPN clients are just one button and it runs. I2P is almost there, but requires you to setup some configs manually. So is it really worth to drive a tank to just go grocery shopping?

Tomorrow passwords will be cracked in no time, because most algorithms are not quantum safe. Same with password length.

I never said it is not an attack vector. There are dozens if not hundreds. The question is about the probability, which is always a dimension if you manage risks. There is no need to list all theoretical possible attack vectors, if the probability of actually happening only affects 2 people on this planet.

Videos for educational purposes should not sensationalize unlikely attacks, as it only causes unnecessary fear. I’d rather have someone using torrent on VPN than not using anything at all because they are now afraid of the government.

That’s not what I was talking about?

If someone is actually trying to convict you just based on the correlation of the connection times, you probably don’t just share a copyrighted movie. So why mentioning this as an actual threat in the first place?

Did not watch the video yet, but isn’t the amount of CO2 released always the same for a specific source? If you use coal, the coal production releases CO2 by burning off anything but carbon. So the CO2 production just happens at different places, but the sum should be the same.

Can someone quickly tell me what I am missing here?

And in a parallel universe, a flat planet contains a lot of sphere earthers.

No matter how intelligent and advanced your species is, we all are poisoned by decisions that questions if evolution is really a working concept.

(…) are you trying to help government agencies perfect spying? sounds very cringe ngl

Tell me again which part of your reply is telling me, you are actually interested in an objective discussion, without assuming things and wanting to start a fight for no reason.

I struggle to find that part.

Lovely, thank you very much, kind stranger!

I don’t think my reply was hostile, I just criticized your behavior assuming things, before you know the whole truth. I kept everything neutral and didn’t have the urge to have a discussion with someone already on edge. I hope you understand and also learn that not everything is entirely evil in this world. Please stay curious - don’t assume.

Typical hexbear reply lol

Unfortunately, you are right, though. Science can be political. My science is not. I like my bubble.
