Today, for the first time, I couldn't use iplayer. As usual, I switched country to UK, cleared browsing data, deleted everything from temp app data file before going there. Was using Firefox. Tried same procedure with Epic browser. Same result. Chatted with Nord support. They wanted screenshots of results from dnsleaktest dot com. Tech said wait while they checked it out. After a little while, chat terminated. Created a ticket via email.

Have BBC finally made themselves bullet-proof?

If rich people and corporations are going to fuck the internet so hard it's unusable, we should make a new internet. One with blackjack and hookers.

It's called the dark web and unfortunately they went WAYYY past Black Jack and hookers. I think you can go on there and buy a person...that ended up being the FBI the whole time.

The "Dark Net" generally is still HTTP(s) with extra layers on-top, e.g the Tor Network or I2P

We're more likely looking at something like Gemini

I agree! It's actually it's own protocol, being built on top of the IP (internet protocol) ofc

The webpages are essentially pure text. No JS, and everything is designed to be super privacy-friendly. Gemini is like the pinnacle of the SmallWeb

If you add male strippers, gay 4 pay rough trade, and four card poker I'm all in.
