About time TOR got blocked for SH.
That probably cut down the attacks by a large margin.

If you have to use TOR to browse SH for some reason, you've got bigger problems than wondering why SH blocks TOR as best it can now.

 

[Jefe's Dope]

Site security won't allow it. The site wants to track all users due to many attacks on the site from scamming buyers and sellers out of money to crashing the site due to soyboi disease.

 

[eca7891]

More than one reason to hide your ip address…..

Just sayin.

If you have not been for a long time then I doubt starting now will save you.

But yeah…just don’t posit anything you don’t want the gub to use against you.

Yeah fuck anyone who values privacy, people who value privacy are assholes.

OK BOOMER

The thing about TOR, is it only works if everything is routed.

There are location based reasons to run it also.


I'm ok with Frank having it blocked if it keeps the site up. I'd guess he's being getting a lot of lefties running attacks through TOR.

Hi,

The thing about "privacy" is that everyone wants it, everyone complains about it being violated yet very very few are willing to sacrifice to achieve it.

Running SH through Tor does not give you 1 bit of "privacy" in relation to everything else you do on a daily basis.

Raise your hand if you "must use" a TOR browser for privacy yet...

1. You have a cellphone.
2. You have a gps enabled vehicle (You guys know you cannot turn that off no matter if you click the little tab that says off, right?).
3. You have a monitored security system at your house and/or work.
4. You have toll road pass in your vehicle.
5. You actually drive on a toll road no matter if you pay cash or not.
6. Your town/city has at least 1 traffic light with a "no turn on red" sign on it.
7. You have ever paid a bill via electronic ACH.
8. You have ever signed up for the Home Depot "Pro" account.
9. You have ever created a PP account.
10. You have ever had/have a Gov ID issued to you.

ALL of those are more of an invasion of your "privacy" than a search engine could ever hope for.

Sincerely,
Theis

It’s just one piece of a puzzle.

You can take the above list and starting taking other pieces off the board.

I simply wanted to alert to a possible config issue. It seems this is acting as intended. I have no further issue/comment on the matter.

Safe from thoughts being read, and 5G activating my Pfizer shots.

How does the vehicle's position get transmitted out of the car?

Most new vehicles have built in cellular as well. Is how they track for payment/recovery, some remote start apps use it too.

Mine does not that I know of

Pro tip

Machine vision works through pattern recognition based on shapes, colors, angles, contours, lengths, etc. Deny it several of those parameters and it cannot discriminate what it sees

In my state new specialty license plates (like mine) and duplicate replacement plates are printed, not stamped. The alpha-numeric characters have no relief. So a really good smear of mud will render them illegible to license plate readers.

Notice the site runs smooth again, it’s called a clue,

the ones attacking the place were on TOR so fuck you’re complaints

Infra red and UV cameras laugh at your mud. A good 4K camera with different spectrum feeds can also discern the mud vs plate.

Machine Learning depends on consistently discernable and mutually exclusive properties of the objects in the image and a team of human trainers classifying those properties to then train the system.

The system can look at both what is there and what are the exceptions. Putting mud your plate just makes you part of a much smaller data set. Eventually someone will want to collect on that and you will end up on a stakeout report. Assuming they still use visible light cameras.

So in your universe the invisible light spectrum has magical properties?

 

[TheMammoth]

In the end, what percentage of the actual user base if inconvenienced by this? A handful at most. Of those how many are paying members? I would be willing to bet single digit.

If you truly want to keep your comings and goings online secure you need to be used to the cat and mouse of getting lumped in with bad actors when you are not a bad actor, its just how it is.

FYI: If you're accessing TOR nodes from a network not your own, you're being put under further scrutiny of the infosec team for that organization. Whenever we see a device using TOR on our network, it raises red flags because that's a common indicator for data exfiltration and other malicious activity.

It does if the plate surface is reflective in the non visible spectrum. Which most of the new plates are. And the letters and other graphics have very very specific reflectivity as well. Mud and other obstructions are often partially or totally defeated. And your car is a specific color make and model. And you have other things on the windshield. Your car has one or more devices that emit a MAC address or other signatures.

Frank....I absolutely couldn't agree more.

And I love your communication style!

A heavy enough coat will disperse UV light significantly. Earth (dirt) is a very efficient insulation. But I'm willing to investigate further.

And your car is a specific color make and model.

So are millions of others

And you have other things on the windshield.

No stickers, no toll transducers, VIN plate is "obstructed"

Your car has one or more devices that emit a MAC address or other signatures.

Not any more

how exactly retarded are the people working within your system who do this? lol

I came in, asked a question--it was answered. I had no idea the history.

Being told to fuck off by the site owner is pretty discouraging.

I think you all can eat a bag of dicks yourselves.
