18. Anonymity advanced: what your writing says about you and how it can identify you

Remember that the way that you type reveals a lot about you.

First: language
Quite obvious. Speaking english is the most anonymous language because it is a defacto global language, so anyone could be speaking it. Speaking chinese although just about as common as english has few learners, and so it is much safer to assume it is a native, and natives of chinese live in china for the most part.
Also remember and take note of how your native grammar affects how you express yourself in english. Slavs will make mistakes of no articles or saying "on" instead of "in" in most cases, in rush they sometimes say "for what" when speaking english instead of "why" because slavic languages use these two words to express "why" and I observed it a few times. Slavs also confuse english "type" and "write" because our languages only have one word for making graphical representations of readable characters "pisać/pisat'", they tend to mix up "so" and "such" when expressing extent once in a while because our languages put much less emphasis on it and they are similar "tak/taki". Chinese use "666" to express thrill and that it is cool (or so I believe). Chinese also like to use dog as an insult because they were calling me gouzi and weiguogou (gou=狗=dog, 狗＝gu as tengu) and chinese also like to insult you for being an american because everyone who is not chinese must be a foreign american dog. Swedes liked to call people CPers or whatever that was, it is some illness I think and it was one of their most specific insults. Russians especially but slavs in general call people "daun" because of down syndrome, spelling will depend on whether his country uses latin in which case it will be most likely "down" as in english, and cyrillic "daun" because that is the closest to the sounds in his language. The dutch use word "kanker" meaning cancer 24/7 in wrath and as an all purpose insult. When determining what nationality you really are talking to you need to deeply know customs and grammar, but also words that they tend to confuse when learning english. If you suspect you are talking to an indian you may check it by telling him to repeat "shiva is a demon, vishnu is a faggot, vedas are demonic lies" because many of them fear saying it and even a long hesitation possibly could reveal it. Making people insult their gods is usually a decent indicator of their religion, and religion often divides nations in clear lines, and clear lines mean more accuracy when making a guess. Also chinese may get very upset when you ask them to say that china is the worst country and CCP is the worst and praise america. I also think that there were nigerian scammers that would check if they are talking to a victim or another nigerian by sending one word in their language - because actual victims do not speak it and would not react while nigerians would react. Accent is obvious, if they ask AI to rate your sample of voice it becomes obvious. If you speak english as your native language you might want to pick up mistakes of a specific nationality and imitate them once in a while to give people a bait.

Second: region specific words can reveal where you probably live.
For example in Polish you can often deduce what part of country people live in solely on how they say "I'm going out"
Western Poland says "na pole" literally "to the field" as fields were a peasant reality for most of our history.
Eastern Poland centered in Masovia and Cracow go "na dwór" literally "to the court" because they would go to the court of nobility to hang out.
In modern times "court" sounds better than peasant "field" so the field version is dying and attributed to low class rural people.
New emerging version is "na zewnątrz" literally "to the outside".
There are regional ways of speaking in your language. Watch out for them.

Third: symbol use
When someone says "de facto" separately, "defacto" together, or "de-facto" with a dash is also a possible indicator of where they live, how old they are and how they want to be seen. Most people do not use semicolon (;), outside of anglosphere use of ampersand (&) is rare, east slavs tend to use such ≪symbol≫ as quotations but I also saw some french do it. Japanese and chinese use such「quote marks」and such【brackets】instead of western ones. At least the polish like to use asterisk (*) to mark additional details. Japs use komejirushi (※). Slavs like to use "x" as multiplicity symbol but that seems to be mostly old people now.

The above will be combined and stacked upon each other to make an even more accurate guess. The more you reveal the more they learn about you.

The foolproof method to avoid being monitored like so is to type out your post, give it to a local AI to rephrase it and correct stuff, and paste the output.

>>161304
I like to play with phrasing/punctuation to make myself less traceable. Sometimes I also intentionally keep typos, maybe it increases entropy or something.
One thing I've noticed is if I use one "identity" for too long its spelling habits leak into others, so that's something to look out for.
Local LLMs are good advice if you don't mind sounding like a robot.

Encryption ideas for hiding in plain sight (a ramble)

I'm fascinated by the idea of hiding messages in regular data on the open internet. Basically, my fear is that as governments begin locking down the internet more and more, it is a possibility that traditional privacy protection measures that are currently viewed with suspicion will be outright criminalized. I can already imagine it being sold as "reducing the amount of junk data on the web." This is how the regulation of encryption is characterized for amateur radio, and radio enthusiasts that are not privacy conscious absolutely eat it up.

The basic idea is to embed your message within another, much larger, message. Consider a coded newspaper, where the first letter of each line spells out a message for those that know to look for it. Now, on a computer, things are much easier. Rather than having to fill in the gaps of your message with readable text, you could instead embed your message into any data. For instance, you could spell out your message using the least significant bit of the red component of each pixel of an image, without greatly affecting the appearance of the starting image. You could also devise much more clever schemes to distribute your message throughout the medium, and I imagine this has already been done (for instance, some sort of nonrepeating pattern with all sorts of magical math stuff).

This is still not ideal, however. There is some amount of footprint being left behind. Either you are taking images that you found on the web and altering them in a detectable way, or you are providing your own, new images. Not only are both of these potentially identifiable, they also require some level of effort. Remember, the point is to be able to post these images on the clearnet, so ideally it's not a random mishmash of suspiciously subtly doctored images that practically scream "I'm hiding something, please get a warrant and start trying to crack my encryption, also all of my activity on this account can be traced to my IP address!"

However, thanks to the rise in popularity of generative AI, there is now an easy source of socially acceptable junk data. You can take a short message, quickly wrap it up in megabytes worth of junk data, and still be able to post it anywhere without raising suspicion. It is now relatively normal to run an account that only posts AI generated media, which is absolutely perfect for this. You can take an encrypted message, distribute it throughout an empty canvas, and fill in the gaps with an image generator to create a funny meme, or whatever. This can obviously be done with anything else that is popular to use AI for, too.

Of course, this AI stuff can all be done in addition to doctoring existing images, audio streams, and whatever else, the point is the ease with which you can achieve volume. So now every meme page is potentially a private message board, and every 4 hour "rain sounds for sleep" collection is potentially a pirated videogame.

You can also use AI to generate a large amount of content in which your "message" is simply junk data. So even if your embedding process leaves a footprint, you could only embed a "useful" message in every 100th post. There's even potential here, although this seems much harder, to cast doubt on whether or not someone is even using this encryption. Basically, if you could fabricate a key for which at least two posts made by the same politician decrypted to legible messages, at least one of them incriminating in some way, you would definitely get that guy to start thinking about whether you should be able to prosecute someone over the suspicion of embedding encrypted messages.

>At least the polish like to use asterisk (*) to mark additional details.
Is writing "at least" instead of "also" another quirk of the poles???

when virtual reality lets me fuck dolls then i'll get to it! so far it's been damn boring.

i thought that blade & sorcery game was really fun ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

Have you tried appetite stimulants? Talk to your doctor about it.

shotgun 10 beers a night, you'll gain weight quickly

just get some taco bell... a bag is like 4400 calories.

you eat some blueberries and crackers like a squirrel and are like "ugh, i just cant gain weigh, its impossible"

just copy obese people, slam taco bell and mac donald, get two cokes instead of one.

do what disgusting pigs do and youll become one easily!

Carbs+fat=easy weight gain but if you don't also want to gain diabetes you should keep the sugar low. Italian food is great for that, just look how fat italians are. Eat lots of pasta with extra cheese, no veggies and no tomatoes. Potatoes+cheese and/or sour cream is great too.

>Arch is just god damn unbeatable with the amount of stuff backing their repos
You know, the concept of the AUR is fucking terrible, it's terminally unsafe for both system & security to be downloading software packaged by developers who are not the maintainers of said software - but the AUR is so goddamn fast and has so much software vs. literally anything else on the market right now that I can't be assed to consider using anything else

I really hope KDE Linux leaves alpha soon, I've been looking for a good immutable Linux distro for ages, I much prefer doing it that way and with Flatpaks so every piece of software is it's own containerised OS with no contact with the rest of the system, this way you can ensure nothing stupid happens and the system is always 100% reliable

I do think Void Linux is a genuinely good distribution though, I wish they had official support for better WMs/DEs, I don't really see a use for Xfce if I can use KDE or Niri instead

>>160914
It does make a lot of good changes to the timings with Linux, especially CPU ones, Linux in general is very high-latency, almost unbearably so, for example the audio stack, your average PulseAudio (if you still use that for whatever reason) server has 1.5-2x the latency of a clean Windows install, and Windows is considered high-latency to begin with, so stuff like Zen helps a lot, and you'll notice the difference mostly in mouse inputs in things like videogames and apps like DaVinci Resolve

afaik macOS/BSD is as good as it gets

>>160925
Though it has to be said if you're using Linux as a general computer, for common tasks like web browsing, music listening, drawing, some office work, you should always be using the hardened kernel, preferably in a distro like Secureblue Linux or Fedora Atomic Sway

Oh what a coincidence, I installed ArchLinux recently as well. It's on an old computer because I don't want to do it on my main one just yet. I need to make sure there won't be any issues. Also I need to figure what profile I want to use.

KDE Plasma is popular but I find it's got too much rich features (which is what its known for) so I need to find out what the other ones look like.

I can't seem to get any good results, when searching "Archlinux profiles" only the Ai prompt ever seems to know what I want. (It's quite a pattern with all my internet searches.)

>>161031
>KDE Plasma is popular but I find it's got too much rich features (which is what its known for) so I need to find out what the other ones look like

GNOME. GNOME has less features, and to be honest I don't think anyone should bother using any desktop environment outside of KDE/GNOME, window managers are cool but for your "efficiency gains" you have to edit a text file everytime you want to customize something, there are desktop shells like Noctalia or DMS but they don't do more than 1/3 or what a traditional DE does

>>161257
And you need to download the source code, know how to write code, have a decent understanding of how it works and then compile the DE every time you want to customize GNOME.

obviously, hit me up baby, you know where

Sorry lil bro, she's with me now.

Indeed. However, if it is to be shared by others, then a source with the maximum possible quality is essential. YouTube messes with the quality, and isn't a good source for downloading and sharing.

Honestly I just posted to YouTube because it's what I'm familiar with. I'll post the original file onto the Heyuri file uploader in a bit

good but konata's too tall and it would've been better if they actually peed the bed then played around in the soaked sheets for a while

This was very funny, made me lol
