  • If a packet is traversing an ISP’s network the ISP should have to know where it is coming from and where it is going, right? So even if you “encrypt the first hello” packet, the ISP would still know where it was routed, right?

    I’ll freely admit I have only a very basic (and likely outdated) understanding of IP networking, but I don’t see how this protects my browsing habits from my ISP. Even if they can’t understand my “hello” to lemmy.ml, they still know I’m talking to lemmy.ml’s IP address about something.

    What am I missing?


  • It depends on the number and type of ads… but honestly, the threshold at which the ad revenue would actually fund the instance would probably be too painful for me to bear.

    I should be honest though and state that I fully believe that the advertising industry is a cancer in our society. Despite what it has taught us about our own psychology, I think we as a people would be better off if it didn’t exist.
