  • If you’re whistleblowing with information not otherwise in the public domain, I’d suggest contacting wikileaks or a trustworthy independent media outlet.

    The Guardian, for example, has the securedrop platform at theguardian.securedrop.tor.onion.

    If you just have an opinion to express, the local authority probably isn’t really that interested in trying to compromise the encryption on your web traffic, unless they’re extremely authoritarian. A standard VPN and a burner account should be sufficient to keep your anonymity.


  • Unless you’re trying to mask your identity from your ISP, instance or government, I don’t really see how tor is useful here, given that you’re presumably posting on the clearweb anyway.

    It’s hard to give specific useful advice, because you’re so vague about what you’re trying to post, and who you want anonymity from. If it’s just other users on lemmy, don’t bother using tor, just create a burner account and access it normally via the web.

    Unsurprisingly, instances aren’t super keen on letting users access their platform via tor since it’s an effective method of ban evasion, and thus people will mostly be using it to post awful things they didn’t want in the first place.















  • The original example was doing the unwrap_within an iterator doing some string parsing, so there was a lot of unrelated boilerplate around the actual unwrapping that made it really unclear, as well as usual unwrap_or_else to produce a constant value

    Ehhh, I was more using get_default as a placeholder for some function, as opposed to representing Default::default for the inner type specifically. I think it should be alright since only people familiar with rust would know about the default trait anyway. I did consider adding an unwrap_or_default example, but thought it was getting a bit off topic at that point.
