True story, Opera's proxy service is kind enough to fill in the proxy headers, so when an instance-hopping pedophile ( #[0] ) shows up and tries to search for his own alts as well as people that post photos of child models (all of whom either have been instance-blocked or will be within a few minutes), and the request comes from Opera's network, Opera dutifully fills in the appropriate headers:
X-Forwarded-For: 37.236.124.32
Not just that, but streaming and large media requests completely bypass their proxy, so in the middle of that searching, he scrolls past some of Jonny's videos and Opera skips the proxy, req just comes straight from 37.236.124.32 instead of 82.145.208.0/21. Opera could send anything they want in that header, but they can't fake reqs that come from outside their network.
Between that and the Mullvad raid (graf was posting about it: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2023/4/20/mullvad-vpn-was-subject-to-a-search-warrant-customer-data-not-compromised/ ), it should be clear that proxies as a trusted third party is retard-level opsec: apparently nothing at Mullvad was compromised this time, but maybe next time the cops show up with a court order demanding they start monitoring and that they don't mention it. How much do you know about Swedish law? Do you think it's a good idea to rely on their government?
And if you don't know how "Opera Turbo" works, how fucking stupid are you to turn it on to go somewhere that is actively hostile to your entire cohort? Anyway, that's another round of dead accounts.
In other news, there are a ridiculous number of people on Pawoo and most of them are fine and the owners are cleaning it up. Pawoo will still be here next year. obo.sh, maybe not: at this point, they're pretty close to hentai.baby's ratio of deactivated accounts to normal accounts.

#[0] #[1] #[2] ed's nice (unironically), very easy to use, and if you have used vi or sed for long enough, you almost know it already. But the reason I do messages as ed sessions is that this makes "what to put into the file" unambiguous.
