- Show support for democracy in Iran add green overlay to your Twitter avatar with 1-click - http://helpiranelection.com/ #
- @mosquitohawk IIRC it just makes general HTTP requests, so destination port 80, source high random. Check environment variables? in reply to mosquitohawk #
- @mosquitohawk Fire up a terminal, and type ‘export’. You’re looking for a ‘declare -x HTTP_PROXY or SOCKS_PROXY’ or something like that. in reply to mosquitohawk #
- Just dumped a list of Anonymous P2P apps to StumbleUpon. Hope these can prove useful: http://colstrom.stumbleupon.com/ #
- Pretty much everything linked in that set is Linux-compatible. Most of them in Java. #
- I question the effectiveness of security guards in smart cars as a deterrent. #burnaby #
- @terrdry You got it, sir. Tor will be covered, with a bit of coverage of Hidden Sites, which should lead into a bit on Freenet nicely. in reply to terrdry #
- @rstevens Organic Coffee House, on Rosser Ave in Burnaby, BC, Canada (near Lougheed and Willingdon on a map). #everylastdrop in reply to rstevens #
- @Podchef Tried VMware Workstation or Fusion? in reply to Podchef #
- Alright, I’d like some feedback on what you think this HOWTO needs. Covering Tor and Freenet, proxy basics, VPNs, what else? #iranelection #
- @eMacAddict Ouch. Is it just a dead zone, or typical? I’m not with Verizon. in reply to eMacAddict #
- @Podchef My understanding is that you can run them on one drive, since they run in-memory. Does OSX have an equivalent to WINE? in reply to Podchef #
- @grantmichaels I’m thinking of focusing this one on anonymity, and writing another one on secure transfer. Should I merge them? in reply to grantmichaels #
- @grantmichaels To keep it digestable, I was thinking of breaking things into grouped sections, rather than one massive “Privacy Guide”. in reply to grantmichaels #
- @Podchef Awesome. Hope it works for you! in reply to Podchef #
- @terrdry Agreed. The ’shred’ command is also worth noting. in reply to terrdry #
- @hawkster Mostly because Adobe is fueled by hate. They need your suffering to create the next version of Photoshop. in reply to hawkster #
- Twitterverse - Does anyone use Privoxy? Looking for some feedback. #
- @terrdry Aye. I’ve got FoxyProxy set up with a list of things like Privoxy, Tor + Privoxy, JAP, and something else for local dev work. in reply to terrdry #
- @Podchef What software are you mucking with, and what sort of issues? (If you don’t mind my prying). in reply to Podchef #
- Does anyone know of a twitter tool that does lexical analysis of potential followers? Considering building one as an anti-spam util. #
- @Podchef If you run it via WINE in a terminal window, you should get some useful debugging info. Perhaps ActiveX garbage, or the like? in reply to Podchef #
- @ZerothOfTheLaw Past five is easy enough, but I’m looking for something more thorough. I’d like to be able to know more at a glance. in reply to ZerothOfTheLaw #
- @DarkAngelB I think that direct foreign interaction can shift focus in ways that may be more damaging than not. Tread lightly. #IranElection in reply to DarkAngelB #
- @mosquitohawk You can disable that, you know. I think an “auto download, manual install” option would be best. Or y’know… install #Linux. #
- @tommorris Aye, I tend towards a bit of UK slang myself. Or AU… not really sure where the influence is from. in reply to tommorris #
- @exmosis That’s definitely a solid base for what I’m looking at. I’d like to be able to calculate how “compatible” a set of users are, too. #
- @iranix Thanks for the ReTweet! Much appreciated. in reply to iranix #
- @ZerothOfTheLaw That’s part of what I’m thinking. Can probably just feed things through SpamAssassin and get the score, might integrate. in reply to ZerothOfTheLaw #
- RT @danielstroud: Anyone know where @persiankiwi is? It’s been 22 Hrs… #iranelection #
- @Podchef CR? Try Crossover Office. It’s a forked version of Wine with more focus on productivity apps and big commercial stuff. in reply to Podchef #
- @Bradley_Young Hmm… a repscore system would be practical, but TweetSum does something akin to that, though limited and automated. in reply to Bradley_Young #
- @brianshumate Glad you like it. Figured GC would be a classy way to communicate as much as possible in the limited bio space. in reply to brianshumate #
- @grantmichaels Thanks. Took a bit longer than I expected. Glad you like it! in reply to grantmichaels #
- Hearing rumours via @Dream1156 and @katarina214 that @persianwiki is safe. Can anyone confirm this? #iranelection #
- RT @eradani: Any msgs with “Select Canada to auto-download” should be SUSPECT. Short profile and female img. CAREFUL! #iranelection #
- RT @JLack87: Do not use violence, be calm and defend yourself but do not listen to those telling you to grab guns, beat ppl. #IranElection #
- @mortenkj When you have a moment, read the “Risks Involved with a Compromised Proxy Server” section here: http://tr.im/pJjT in reply to mortenkj #
- @GamePolitics The services aren’t really designed to offer anonymity. I’d say it carries moderate risk. #WoW #Xboxlive #iranelection in reply to GamePolitics #
- RT @Sagacious_1: Why aren’t we calling Mousavi “Mr President” as a rejection of Ahmadinejad’s legitimacy in representing Iran. #iranelection #
- @innuendoo Which brings up an interesting thought: What about customizing the question? Or randomizing it? Maybe a #GreaseMonkey hack? in reply to innuendoo #
- @innuendoo var message = ‘Your Custom Message’; $(’.doing’)[0].replaceChild(document.createTextNode(message),$(’.doing’)[0].childNodes[0]); in reply to innuendoo #
- @innuendoo There you go. Even done in under 140 characters. Feel free to roll that into a GreaseMonkey script, if you are so inclined. in reply to innuendoo #
- @austinheap I wrote up some info on proxies (what they are, how to set one up, how to use): http://tr.im/pJjT It might help? #iranelection in reply to austinheap #
- @charlesyeo That’s the first sensible thing I’ve heard from them in some time. in reply to charlesyeo #
- @kmlesch Twitterfox is very nice. Have you played with TweetDeck? in reply to kmlesch #
- @ImGonnaWin Largely because that’s what where the community IS. No benefit to changing, other than logic. #iranelection #iranprotests in reply to ImGonnaWin #
- @Parsis Godwin’s Law says you lose. in reply to Parsis #
- @kmlesch My only gripe with Twitterfox is the inability to segment the stream. Fantastic for what is it, though. in reply to kmlesch #
- @innuendoo No worries if you don’t use it. The idea came up, I had to build it. Y’know how it is. in reply to innuendoo #
- @soynicole Heard a rumour (s)he might be in hiding, unconfirmed by any source I trust enough to not worry. #iranelection in reply to soynicole #
- @mk_snell You have confirmation that @persiankiwi is safe? Source? #iranelection in reply to mk_snell #
- @JenLConway There’s speculation that that tool might be compromised, if it was legit at all. Proceed with caution. #iranelection in reply to JenLConway #
- @mk_snell While the sentiment is appreciated, false hope is dangerous, especially with all the misinformation in the air. #iranelection in reply to mk_snell #
- @kevinarth Thanks for the heads-up. I should have known better, a quick skim over her tweets smells like spam, I replied without thinking. in reply to kevinarth #
- @WRH_Mike_Rivero Wasn’t it a Tibetan symbol of sorts first? What’s the implication if it’s displayed elsewhere? in reply to WRH_Mike_Rivero #
- @mortenkj A small price to pay to support the free flow of information, is it not? I’ll disable it if it becomes a significant problem. *IF* in reply to mortenkj #
- @WRH_Mike_Rivero Wait, how did Hitler become part of this discussion? in reply to WRH_Mike_Rivero #
- @DeniseCares Very much so. Direct foreign involvement has the potential to make things far worse. #Iran #iranelection in reply to DeniseCares #
- @DeniseCares Someone drew a parallel to the USSR awhile back. Direct action would have given justification for conflict. I’ll dig up a link. in reply to DeniseCares #
- @MTBJ Assuming there is a trial, right? in reply to MTBJ #
- @DeniseCares http://tr.im/pMPi - Sorry it took so long to find the link. #iranelection in reply to DeniseCares #
- Ever notice how about:config in #Firefox warns you about voiding your warranty? The same one disclaimed in Section 4 of the EULA? Fun times. #
- @adurdin It’s always interesting to see things like that happen, isn’t it? in reply to adurdin #
- @Mattctr While what they face is unacceptable, their willingness to face it is inspirational. #freedom #iranelection in reply to Mattctr #
- @ZerothOfTheLaw Mapping it out in my head right now. I’ll try to sling something together over the weekend. in reply to ZerothOfTheLaw #
- @ZerothOfTheLaw Not immediately familiar with it, but I’ll look into it. in reply to ZerothOfTheLaw #
- @grantmichaels @ZerothOfTheLaw - Thoughts on where my next privacy article should start? So much to cover, left off here: http://tr.im/pJjT #
- @markga_00 True power is always held by the people. Any whose perceived power requires thinking otherwise rightly fears them. #iranelection in reply to markga_00 #
- http://webecologyproject.org/ reports on Twitter’s role in the #iranelection coverage. Good: confirms the benefits. Bad: reveals proxies. #
- @karlus Lesson learned, eh? in reply to karlus #
- @WebEcology Excellent. Glad to hear the risks were understood and taken into account. Are the proxies confirmed as inactive? #
- @AshPaulJ Thanks for being worth following. ^_^ in reply to AshPaulJ #
