"There is no horror, no cruelty, sacrilege, or perjury, no imposture, no infamous transaction, no cynical robbery, no bold plunder or shabby betrayal that has not been or is not daily being perpetrated by the representatives of the states, under no other pretext than those elastic words, so convenient and yet so terrible: 'for reasons of state.'"

@maiyannah depends what type of leftist, which goes back to the Marx-Bakunin rift of the early 1870s. -

@maiyannah I think there were commercial products which do that, and a couple of years ago I did start making a Tor dongle within the Freedombone project, but then thought it would be better to do as a separate project. There's also an ISP which claims to offer Tor routing of all traffic, but I wouldn't necessarily trust that. -

@maiyannah yes I expect in the next couple of years to have a lot more folks saying "I've heard of this Tor thing...is it any good?" -

I notice that the petition to repeal the #IPbill now has more than the threshold, but of course because this bill has just recently been passed they're hardly going to repeal it immediately. So it's more of a symbolic protest. http://status.hackerposse.com/url/12986 More realistically the surveillance situation in the UK is going to get worse. Now that an assortment of… -

@maiyannah yes probably. I've added a link to it from the main page and the readme on Github. That way if one isn't available the other might still be. -

@maiyannah @xj9 @archaeme @ronflaix The main problem is not so much difficulty as a combination of inertia and commercial interests. It's easy to see how client/server with its bottlenecks and points of control serves commercial interests far better than p2p. Hence I think it's very unlikely that the well known companies will enthusiastically adopt a distributed intern… -

@xj9 @maiyannah @archaeme @ronflaix yes absolutely. I am pretty convinced that although client/server is the current paradigm longer term things will move to fully p2p. It's the only way to scale to universal proportions. With the Freedombone mesh I think I made a rough prototype for what the future internet might be. Everything based on a DHT with replicated data. Triv… -

Added some new #Freedombone images for Cubietruck and also the insecure version of the mesh client (insecure because it includes proprietary wifi drivers). So if you were up against it and didn't have Atheros wifi dongles you could probably still use any available laptops to create a local mesh network. -
