They haven't patched pwnescape either, which is like 15+ days old - allows for KVM breakout.

More like compliment. One of the main recommended ways to use whonix is within qubes

Remember to disable the dht if you use this.

People used to believe that animals could generate from the earth. The ecosystem used to be viewed as a mystical thing that would take care of its self and no mere man could significantly influence. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_generation

Would selenium Python bindings meet your needs? https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/

I use xpra to run apps in VMS but seamlessly render them on my desktop. Allows me to have a qubes type workflow without using qubes. Probably not quite as secure, but you can disable features for untrusted servers.

Sesta and fosta reduced 230 a bit and had a measurable impact on web freedom. Craigslist removed personals, most notably.

What impact would the loss of 230 have on p2p? Would a bitcoin node operator become liable for criminal transactions people make? Would Tor nodes become even riskies than they are to run? Would participating in the torrent DHT become risky even if I only torrent Linux isos?

Interesting, do you have a source? All fully p2p networks are vulnerable to sybil attacks to some extent, but specifically a source that Tor actively has enough "government nodes" to de-anonymize everything.

I went to the launch party they had during defcon, it was a lot of fun. I like that Veild is oriented toward being an application framework. In the same way that we have things like libsodium to use cryptography in our apps without being a master of it, we need frameworks/libraries to help build privacy oriented apps as well.

You can also recoup some of the cost by attaching your Boinc to Gridcoin: https://gridcoin.us/

That's what I'm wondering. This is regarded as one of the strongest privacy laws in the US and yet I all but entirely forgot it existed as I don't recall any cases against big tech with this law in the last 5 years.

but apparently it only protects 'subscribers' in a financial sense:

>In a continuing effort to limit consumer's privacy violations, Malley filed a class action involving Hulu in 2012. A San Francisco federal trial court found the VPPA's subscriber protections apply to users with Hulu accounts.[10] In 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit found that those protections do not reach the users of a free Android app, even when the app assigns each user a unique identification number and shares user behavior with a third-party data analytics company.
