In some ways, the NSA is actually not a bad choice: it's constitutionally required to uphold free speech (can't censor anything), and I don't think it can sell your data to advertisers either. And, the NSA can collect your data anyway from US based providers via PRISM or NSLs. The main risk is it creating a MITM.

I can’t tell if you’re joking. If this resolver was real, I would rather use a resolver which promises transparency reports and no-logging, and hope it doesn’t fall into the hands of the NSA. Using a resolver by the NSA would guarantee it’s being collected by the NSA.

Both options aren’t very good, so I recommend running your own resolver using Unbound.

I'm being a little tongue-in-cheek, but I don't think what I said is wrong. Sure, it's not the best conceivable choice, but I don't think the NSA would be particularly out of place on this list, given that it includes things like "child-safe" censoring servers. It ultimately depends on what your threat model is.

I like a good April Fool's joke as much as the next guy, but it seems like a git commit is more difficult to roll back. You'd have to make another commit on April 2nd reversing the April 1 commit, right?

It was actually a March 31st commit.

It was April 1st in several countries by the time of that commit.

I mean, it's probably an April Fools' Day joke. However, for the person who committed it (who lives in France), it was not April 1st, as far as I'm aware.

I'm just saying, in the age of globalization, it makes sense to push out your April Fools' joke once it hits April 1st somewhere.

april fools commits, in THIS economy?

`git push -f`

`git revert 3f858d836a1d07c5ba682ba327df0711e7ada8fd` ought to do it, no?

This may increase your Internet speed too since they won’t have to do an extra hop to intercept all of your traffic

When I was first diagnosed with my tumors, it was a 3-4 day scanning process. A year later NIH said we could go to an MRI and do the same. I'll probably get this at some point.

I think you accidentally replied to the wrong thread. Consider reposting your comment here:

They should keep it and encourage those to use it who advocate for backdoors in software.

So wait, this doesn’t actually send anything through the NSA does it?

With the IP address being 127.0.0.1 and the TLS certificate hash being the hash of "April fool", is it very unlikely :)

Titanpointe is alive and well, lol

April Fool!!!!
