This privacy project of mine has been very revealing, pun intended. I wanted to create an anonymous npub and see how well I could be active while not leaking any information. In the week that I had this npub, I've accidentally or foolishly leaked information 12 different times (that i know of). Most of the time I only found out much later. For example, I was running my IP Tracer on a separate device running Kali and noticed that I accessed nostr multiple times when mullvpn had force closed for some unknown reason. I could see my ip traffic quite easily. Then I noticed I had posted the same monero subaddress on 2 npubs, dumbass... I sent lightning tips non anonymously multiple times and even once from an old kyc wallet! Honestly, outside of pretending to be someone else with a different personality, sentence structure, and interests, I can't say I did much of anything successfully. Privacy is hard and obviously takes more than just a dedicated plan. Clearly, I'm not there yet. So for now, we will end this book with, "And he lived happily ever after, until the end of his days." #nostr #privacy #vpn GN

I find myself at a fork in the road on #Nostr . Do I try and speak against the growing popularity of buying #KYC #bitcoin , or do I distance myself from the simps and mind my own business? Do I sit and watch children play in traffic or do I make them feel stupid so as to make sure they don't do it again? It's really a moral problem for me. And to all the "innovators" who have made bitcoin more user friendly while giving the government free access to otherwise innocently ignorant people, all while being worshipped as heroes, just fuuuuuuck you.

Another series in my eBook collection, I was really into diy primative weapons years back, and found the Bowyers Bible series exceptionally helpful. Here is the onion address, accessible via Tor: http://qfohy366omxx734metozoaeywkp3lxticqfzo5gvyky2dqzck4ud3dqd.onion/uIbQ5_jtK0ESWaSH5V8C-w
You all let me know if this is something you'd like me to keep doing. The nature of Onion share prevents me from tracking who or how many people download these eBooks. I'll host the link for a few hours.
