I'm asking because I'm curious how one would go about doing something like this in 2019. What are the things you need to think about, and what measures would one need to take to ensure continued anonymity over time. In particular, I'm curious about just information transfer, like a simple, not-for-profit blog.

Since the threat model can get pretty vague, I guess I'm thinking about two main scenarios:

1. Easier case: how to prevent being de-anonymized by curious individuals and specific corporations (e.g., multiple ISP's colluding together may be able to de-anonymize you, but for example a specific company like Google can't).

2. Harder case: ensuring anonymity even from state-level actors.

Thanks!","time":1573226089,"title":"Ask HN: Starting an Anonymous Blog in 2019?","type":"story"}],[21156664,{"by":"rahuldottech","descendants":245,"id":21156664,"kids":[21157703,21159323,21157143,21157178,21157225,21156702,21157718,21158819,21157083,21156955,21157601,21157175,21158464,21157338,21157407,21157181,21159280,21157251,21158636,21157733,21158357,21159506,21158047,21158104,21157565,21157096,21159664,21157628,21160968,21157431,21160235,21157188,21157635,21157394,21159457,21159293,21157136,21165602,21158460,21165580,21157133,21157436,21168612,21163125,21158514,21159692,21161734,21158766,21157457,21158622,21158882,21158205,21160378,21165006,21158831,21158097,21166765,21159197,21157925,21160104,21167549,21160721,21158238,21157299,21158675,21158364,21160292,21158188,21159339,21158173,21157742,21168131,21158795,21163147,21158101,21157288,21157629,21159209,21158203,21159783,21186033,21158484,21158149,21158553,21160146,21159193,21158947,21158168,21157598,21159822,21157101,21161097,21165575,21160145,21160215,21159194,21160861,21157036,21157808,21158637,21157201,21159821,21159459,21160521,21157667,21158079,21158688,21162031,21163883,21157047,21158706],"score":190,"text":"Also, how do you respond when someone brings up concerns of E2EE platforms being used for child sexual abuse imagery or terrorism?

Most of the time when I am traveling I am in locations that have poor or nonexistent cellular service.

This often causes problems with services (Paypal, banking apps, messangers, etc.) due to my inability use two factor auth and text-message based confirmation messages.

It seems to me that phone numbers are a horrible identifier due to the way they can be transferred between users of a carrier. Services like Ting have made short term numbers easy to use, and I often get two-factor auth messages from previous users of a number.

Is this purely a business case for data mining, or is there a legitimate security reason for relying on something as ephemeral as a phone number for critical identification mechanisms?

I am currently writing a blog post about my experience with Elixir. I aim to write about things I liked, but also I want to describe stuff that I just hated or disliked. Because I've noticed that people always try to praise the new tech they are using, but rarely point out bad things. And the truth is that learning a new technology is many times very time/money consuming process.","time":1548677593,"title":"Ask HN: What kind of information do you look for before learning/using new tech?","type":"story"}],[18890933,{"by":"DyslexicAtheist","descendants":21,"id":18890933,"kids":[18891753,18891563,18891381,18891356,18892361,18892411,18891787,18891863,18892318,18891520,18891278,18891360,18892403,18893796,18891443],"score":90,"text":"there have been some great CTF[0][1] links here in the past[2] but many of them are from 5 or even 7 years ago[1].

Anyone still actively playing CTF in 2019 and if so what is your experience? Anyone here hosting CTF themselves? \nAnyone providing advanced puzzles (hardened systems that have no built in flaws?)\nAnyone building CTF puzzles for IoT? E.g. focus on gateway level protocols such as MQTT, COAP etc?

I played a few times until 2009 but then had other things on my plate. What are the latest & greatest communities today?

thanks ^_^
