  • That’s why I’m running alpine. It runs in ram and only writes to the SD card when I run “lbu commit.”

    As an experiment, I wrote u-boot to a different blank SD card and put the supposedly bad SD card with alpine on it into an USB card reader and connected that to the nanopi. Sure enough, the nanopi loaded u-boot on the sd card, then loaded alpine just fine off the USB card reader.

    The card is fine. It just wont run alpine linux off the built in card reader.















  • People aren’t typically caught inside a darknet when they are accessing only things inside that darknet. They get caught when their traffic passes through a compromised node or when accessing external resources. You are much harder to track if you keep your darknet activities inside that darknet. In the case of Tor, you would typically be accessing .onion sites. If you are using tor to just hide where you are along to way then accessing something suspect on public internet, you are just drawing more attention to yourself.

    In the case of i2p, most everything is inside the network. This limits its usefulness but prevents the most common way of identifying someone in a darknet from working at all.

    Freenet im still learning more about but so far it looks like there are levels of secrecy there and the most common use case in freenet has been blow open by the feds. There’s another method that’s supposedly harder for them to track but I don’t know enough about freenet to speak on that yet.
