Pirate Bay Founder Launches Anonymous Domain Registration Service (torrentfreak.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from TorrentFreak: Former Pirate Bay spokesperson and co-founder Peter Sunde has just announced his latest venture. Keeping up his fight for privacy on the Internet, he's launching a new company called Njalla, that helps site operators to shield their identities from prying eyes. The name Njalla refers to the traditional hut that Sami people use to keep predators at bay. It's built on a tall stump of a tree or pole and is used to store food or other goods. On the Internet, Njalla helps to keep people's domain names private. While anonymizer services aren't anything new, Sunde's company takes a different approach compared to most of the competition. With Njalla, customers don't buy the domain names themselves, they let the company do it for them. This adds an extra layer of protection but also requires some trust. A separate agreement grants the customer full usage rights to the domain. This also means that people are free to transfer it elsewhere if they want to.
Let me break it down for you...
1) The MAFIAA has won the clearnet. It is nothing more than whack a mole now. This constant disruption prevents the building of great things. Such as The Pirate Bay index, and the trackers, of old heyday. It's too hard to hide long term on clearnet, and the risks are too high, and it's all about the advertising money now.
2) The FUTURE of principled p2p filesharing is now moving onto the anonymous encrypted overlay networks (darknets). You can share all your stuff therein 24x365 forever without fear of ever being shutdown. Here's what you need...
Reliable Storage - ZFS raidz checksums compression etc
Reliable Computer - ECC memory, you can use Ryzen or Intel Xeon and even some i3's. The Xeons such as E3-127x are very perfomant full featured chips, look them up.
Reliable OS - FreeBSD, Linux
Darknet Software - I2P, Phantom, CJDNS, Tor, OnionCat, IPFS, Pond, Ricochet, Zcash, Tox... so many more cool systems out there for you to discover... start your research and usage, build the next great darknet index.
Ripping Software - cdparanoia, cdda2wav, flac, ffmpeg, etc. Policy: must always share lossless original, except for huge bluray which can be downconverted to dvd-9, then add lossy versions of the original if you have time/space.
Network Connection - Carve the your one physical pipe into two logical rate limited bandwidth pools, one that you do not use yourself as a user but do dedicate to giving back to the darknet by running a node on it, the other that you use to fileshare on (both upload and download). The giveback pool must be at least 3 times larger than the usage pool, but you can flex into it when it is quiet, use your packet filter qos for that.
The Darknets await you... :-)
