By the way ...

Here is how someone can find who you are IRL on NOSTR.

They post a link to an item on a server they control and mention you.

You look at alerts / notifications and the link in the note mentioning you is hit by your browser as it tries to display the item, like this picture form a Financial Times article I just read (I figured no one is going to go through the haystack in the logs at FT to find out who you are right now, so I used them).

Yes - vpns / tor provides a layer that is hard to crack, but I have also noticed Google is tweaking ads based on what I am doing here so I assume they've already started correlating public keys. I assume via chrome/android.

Anyways, be mindful anything networked is vulnerable.

Ooops.

Foreign Policy, not Financial Times.

Here is that article, by the way.

They should not have clamped down on Bitcoin, IMO, since that was a cash sponge during COVID and they'd be seeing cash re-entering now, which would create more inflationary pressure. All IMO.

What about a service like NextDNS in addition to VPN to block more trackers, etc?
