tor tor tor the onion router that replaced all the others except i2p and other things. not all my crazy posts to this list have been labeled that. here's something: https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2021-May/087756.html tor has a padding infrastructure! lots of discussion about censorship. i've had a user account muted in their irc, so i'm a little scared of it. often i believe i only have one physical body, wouldn't want to further ruin it's reputation. maybe it would be reasonable to propose reduced overhead, rather than increased overhead. i dunno. padding spec was at https://github.com/torproject/torspec/blob/main/padding-spec.txt i also have interest in a funny thing with tor it used to 'heal' connections when the local network went down so you could start a stream over tor, _disconnect your internet_, _connect to a new different internet_, and the stream would resume where it left off with no errors. this stopped being the case after some time. i might be interested in hunting down that change in the source, or reimplementing the feature. i am in a crazy state of mind and am unlikely to do these things! just exploring!
