The party hasn't named their candidate for the local council election, but their leaflet makes it appear that the local MP is standing, and is designed for people who confuse causation for correlation, and doesn't say who caused police and NHS funding to be cut in the first place, or who was PM when inflation ballooned. Perhaps they assume their voters are stupid.

Why Is Everyone Sick After We Forced Everyone To Get Sick Says Man Who Runs Whole Country

Edit: oops, spelt Vertlartnic wrong.

sorry 4 l8 response, i think your writings here and on your website show how #dns is inherently a bit of a beast. I do think leaks can disappear by simply tunneling the dns to tor's DNSPort but we have differing opinions on whether this is acheveable for anyone.

when i talk to ppl about this i start when #mozilla was labelled an internet villain of 2018() by the #uk for sending all dns to #cloudflare using DoH. i explain they can tell firefox to NOT do #DoH and instead "#portforward" dns 53 requests to tor. i explain port-forwarding like passing a ball...so in this case ball passes to your firewall, that acts as your special teammate. I explain that the firewall catches the leaky (unencrypted) 53 request and can pass it into Tor, doing this makes the ball invisible, it is now passes along three tor nodes and noone knows where the ball goes but it reaches its goal and noone even knows you scored a goal. ie. noone can tell u made the DNS request!

At the end of the game these invisible goals are reveald.

i dunno maybe this ball-passing analogy is good, people tend to be transfixed that they can do this magic. i explain that it is really simple they just need three basic steps, add "DNSPort 5353" to tors config, configure the firewall to catch the bad 53 and forward it to tor's 5353, and then finish the process by disabling DoH in the browser and tell the browser to do the old-style 53s. Done. if you want me to find some authoritative resources on this i should be able to, its a pretty big thing.

>"Tor is often slow and frequently blocked"

happy to report thats not the case today, #tor is fast and reliable, in some ways TOO fast, i almost feel like throttling it sometimes. :P

bad/unethical sites may block it but many don't and i'm actually more sad when they dont, but for the 1 site a person desperately needs (eg bank) they can use a non-tor browser. I think people reading your site are likely to be interested in finding alternate ways and means so i really don't think it would bother them much to see how some sites might be hostile to ideas of privacy, if anything it may help reolve underlying questions and feelings that they might have to see sites X,Y and Z be equally hostile, that knowledge means they might use the normal browser for X, but maybe for Y and Z they will use a different service completely (eg. invidious, fediverse). etc. :thinka:
