:/ Thanks for the report !

Like every VPN company that operate their own entry nodes…

Did you tried NymVPN ? I am curious if you can enter their mixnet from within China as they strongly advertise their product as censorship-resistant tech for freedom and activists.

NYM is a next-generation mixnet with a VPN product built on top of it. Obscura is a VPN that provide a first hop then send traffic to a Mullvad hop.

I agree on this with the exception of PIA.

• Marketing is BS like most VPN
• Company is based in the USA
• They do analytics
• You cannot register “anonymously”

It’s not the worst VPN you could choose but there is better options.

Well, with Kiwix I was able to download the whole english wikipedia with mid-res pictures on my 128GB USB Drive. I think the 600TB you’re talking about includes videos and high-res pictures.

Or maybe Miraheze but it doesn’t sem federated either

Hosting a wiki isn’t that expensive it’s basically texts and some lightweight pictures. The whole english wikipedia is around 109GB of data.

If you don’t feel confortable with CLI tools their is graphical front-ends for yt-dlp such as Open Video Downloader or stacher but using yt-dlp is always better

You simply don’t get the usecase. I don’t want Pinterest to show me stuff that I’m into. I want it to show me similar pictures to build coherant yet creative moodboards.

I’m pretty sure Anna’s Archive is backing up Sci-Hub, isn’t it ?
