Seems like Snowflake proxy v2.11.0 uses more RAM, about 100 - 200 MB. This used to be around 20 - 50 MB.

Still have enough RAM on my Proxmox server to dedicate for this VM though so I now dedicate from 3 GB to 4 GB RAM since I run 20 snowflake proxy process on this VM.

I'm gonna check back later and see if it uses up all that 4 GB.

I use Fedora, btw.

"It’s a dangerous time for protest rights in the UK. The government has introduced a bill that would make it a criminal offence to conceal your identity at a protest.

The crime and policing bill establishes an offence if a person conceals their identity within a specifically designated area in England or Wales. That is, an area where the police believe that a protest is taking place, or is likely to take place, and that involves, or might involve, the “commission of offences” (people breaking the law).

These powers are preemptive and vague – how is the “likelihood” of a protest or offences determined? What specific “offences” does the bill refer to? What safeguards exist? Ultimately, the bill does not appear to place any real limits on the degree of discretion extended to the police.

The passage of this bill would have significant implications for the right to anonymity in public places. It is unparalleled among liberal democratic states, bringing UK practice into line with Russia, Hungary and China."

Fedi people with a website who are also pseudonymous, what did/do you use to register your domain name(s)?

I would like to be able to 1. pay anonymously, preferably using a debit card through a blind signature or zero-knowledge proof mechanism as privacy-friendly crypto is hard to find, and 2. not have to register using an email address, which again are not easy to get pseudonymously/anonymously.

Boosts appreciated.

The 🇵🇱 Polish government has suggested new EU rules to ban the #anonymous purchase of #prepaid #SIMcards.

“The main threat associated with prepaid SIM cards is #anonymity,” says a document obtained by @statewatch and one cannot make one's disdain for #humanrights any clearer.

Extensive research has found no evidence that bans on anonymous purchases of SIM cards contribute to reducing #crime.

Ah, here it is, in the text of the report;

"The Bank of England and HM
Treasury note in their 2023 Consultation Paper that a digital pound would not be anonymous
because, 'just like bank accounts, the ability to identify and verify users is necessary to prevent
financial crime'.”

Chapter 2.1, Enhancing the Privacy
of a Digital Pound

So what they're contemplating is only as private as a bank transfer, not as private as cash.
