Protection against black heads idiots happens on another level of
security. It's a shame for my generation (I'm 51 years old and a German)
and your American government, too, that there actually is a black head
community participating with something completely wrong. Regarding
those idiots considering to migrate to different IPs is idiotic.
I don't even have a clue what dinos as you and I could do using a
soldering station in addition to software alternatives, but IMO we
lost that war. Even onion networks seem to be a no solution, read(ing)
the TOR FAQs.
