Registering is free and all you need is a username and password. We never ask you for your e-mail.
right now your computer has an ip address and it accesses another computer that has an ip address. there is a record of this contact when you make it. your internet service provider knows, and so does the server on the far side. Even if you are using encryption.
so when you connect to voat, your ISP and voat know bare minumum.
I raw dog it (dont hide my ip using a VPN) on voat and the chans from time to time. hence I am probably on a list because the government definitely knows which websites I have been to.
piratebox.cc is a way to configure a computer offline to act like a wifi access point. instead of connecting to the internet, the server hosts local content. many users can connect to the access point (just like your router at home connects to a lot of devices). these local users can interact and share messages and files.
I am going to preload one of these things and hide it in a public place. Preferably somewhere where poor people who dont want to max out their data plans on their phone are likely to frequent.
then i will label the access point name as "free connection" or something.
when they connect it force guides them to the page to share messages and files, but does not connect them to the internet.
This way, if I host material on the box (or users upload material) it can be shared without the government, google, the police, or anyone knowing about it.
the server keeps no logs and no usernames are used it's all anonymous.
I could see how people might upload subversive stuff on it. I don't care.
I am going to preload it with content that will help people and isn't (((Hollywood))) celebrity gossip. or (((porn))).
