Please for the love of kittens turn off Cloudflare and never put it on again. For me and other Tor users that awful service is a guaranteed way of ensuring we'll never see your site (which I am very interested in BTW).

Yeah, sorry about that. I am planning on finding a way to keep things interesting and authentic with the hosting, but also accessible to everyone.

In the meantime, if you want to visit the page directly without CloudFlare, go to http://trombone.zapto.org instead.

I use a text based browser from my editor and that loads as close to instantly as you'd ever hope for! A VIC-20 version sounds even more awesome.

If you care about privacy, using a text based browser from an editor is a terrible idea for many reasons, lol.

Sounds interesting. Do share. What's your threat model?

Assuming emacs, attacking major mode detection, or triggering lisp execution.

Edit: but also identifying heuristics like lack of JS execution, or potentially client specific http client behaviour

Turning cloudflare off has DoS implications for a sanely hosted side, let alone a 386. You turning off tor when required would be a better option.

I hope you don’t regularly make such selfish requests to potential DoS victims due to your own arrogance / ignorance.

I’m dumb enough to do it anyway. ;)

Extra points for being able to insult both the OP and myself in one sentence. If you've nothing constructive to add how about you leave us insane, ignorant and arrogant grown-ups in peace to work out our own stuff?

I don’t think I insulted op? You’re not a grown up, you’re a self entitled privacy weeb.
