@torproject same with #obfs4 bridges: there is no option to say like ports=80,443 or similar, which makes it cumbersome to get said bridges.

• And yes, for people stuck on #publicWiFi and shitty #MVNO|s this is most likely the only way they can get any #Tor connection work through #CGNAT and #firewall|s, as most do #BlockTor and it's associated #ports alongside common #proxy ports like 8000-9999 and anything they can't #MITM that isn't #HTTPS or #IMAP!

And trying to get places to #DontBlockTor that criminalize the use of #Tor is foolish at best.

• I mean, I'm glad that I'm in #Germany and whilst #Hosters do ban Tor in their #ToS, my #ISP can't ban me from operating a #relay or #bridge at home...

@TheDoctor512 @steampixel noice.

Idealerweise per #burp nen #MITM-#Proxy reinknallen und dessen Zertifikate in den Speicher des Smartphones/Tablets importieren?

@tauon Also what goid is an encryption like @signalapp is you don't have #SelfCustody of all the keys?

• Shure you could disable encryption but @monocles shows you when it's active and when not and comes with sensible defaults like having #OMEMO active per default...

I can setup over a dozen #TechIlliterates 1:1 with #XMPP accounts and #monoclesChat & @gajim / #gajim in the time it takes me to get a #nonKYC #eSIM from overseas with a phone number as mandated by @signalapp and maintaining that number for #Signal will easily cost like $2,50 p.m. at minimum.

• Whereas a Data-only eSIM is way faster and cheaper to get and maintain.

In fact even legitimately acquiring and registering a #Prepaid #SIM in-store in #Germany takes longer than setting up #Fdroid & monocles chat & a XMPP account whilst on throttled #EDGEland speeds...

• Plus unlike Signal, I can just push #XMPP through @torproject / #Tor and/or any #VPN & #Proxy...

@wmd @miqokin I've yet to find a nation that criminalizes @torproject but not #VPN|s that facilitate the same...

• Also commercial VPN providers are relatively easy to detect, filter & block unless they support #SSH-Tunneling.

Whereas #Tor has multiple ways to circumvent #InternetCensorship, includibg multiple #proxy & 9bfuscation systems like #obfs4, #meek, #webtunnel and regular #TorBridges on included, public query-able amd private lists...

@bagder Problem with that is (besides occasional bugfixes), most people including myself would see #curl to be functionally complete and anything "nice to have" would be considered not worth the balooning in #complexity and #size.

• I mean, does curl need to be able to do #BitTorrent (magnet:), #IPFS (ipfs://) or god forbid #blockchain (i.e. #EVM) support?

• Do you really want to integrate @torproject / #Tor support natively into curl when using #HTTP (localhost:8118) and #SOCKS5 (localhost:9050) #proxy allows for the same and doesn't necessitate having to handle and ingest Tor arguments as well??

In fact if #toybox didn't have a #wget implementation that I could use for OS/1337 I would've merely chosen tiny-curl -o as a global alias or if #tinycurl wasn't an option, curl -o instead.

• Maybe someone who wants to have said functionality like tor support built-in will go and IDK make i.e. #neocurl or sth. along those lines or build something like #ethcurl or #torcurlor #ipfscurl or whatever...

That being said I am glad curl isn't solely maintained by you but has other contributors (give them a shoutout!) but I also am glad you maintain that vital software that most "#TechIlliterate #Normies" most likely never heard of but propably use on a daily basis as part of all the #tech they use to #consume media with...

• I consider curl to be "the #vim of downloaders" (tho that's kinda insulting and limiting since curl is more than just a downloader and more intuitive than vim) with wget being "the #vi of downloaders" (tho wget is even simpler to use than vi)...

Either way, curl is awesome...

@MatthiaMach ich dachte schon an nen #Snowflake-#Proxy-#Botnet welches Leute ranked wievielen anderen diese ins Interwebz helfen konnten!

@n0iroh @delta interesting.

I hope #Proxy support for i.e. @torproject / #Tor using @guardianproject #Orbot is still available...
