I promise I'm not being lazy, it's just that my internet is insanely slow on my computer

it's for the Jared Taylor interview

maybe fix up the audio if you have extra time and know how but mainly I just wanna get it in a format that I can download and play on my phone

looking to make Jared Taylor your ringtone? lol

lmao no

I'm just trying to get it in a format that people can actually listen to

the recorder we used uploads in these weird multi track formats

actually I think I figured out how to do it myself

Is anyone here familiar with google docs? About a year ago, someone sent me a link to a google doc owned by someone I do not want knowing about my existence. I just checked my "shared with me" page on google docs and saw that document associated to the page. I right-clicked the document and selected "remove." Should I be worried? Once I have removed that document from my "shared with me" page, is the owner still able to see that it was once shared with me?

Depends, if it was a corporate, or school account the administrator could call up the file history of they needed to. If it's a personal account it doesn't seem to present that info to the user.

@Rick

@Ecarttev Thanks! I am not sure what kind of google acount it was. At the most, would they just be able to see my google email address and username?

It would be your email. They would have to do very specific searches though, is not info presented at the top level. That's just things like, "file shared" they would need to dig to see it was you.

Ah ok. It was just some obscure and routine file that was probably buried by many subsequent update files. They would probably have no reason to look into who saw it and if they did my email would be meaningless and probably brushed off as belonging to someone no longer on their distribution list. From what I understand about google docs, the creator of the document determines who has access to it and unless they set it up so that only specific email addresses are allowed to view it, they have no expectation of privacy, as once they send out a link for a google doc, anyone who obtains the link is able to view it.

Is anyone in here knowledgable about visual basic?

@GDoctor I have vague recollections of VB6 from about 15 years ago. Do you have questions?

Someone redpill me on VPNs

Tor for example anyone use it?

<@&435155896780324864> ^^

Ive used Tor. Tor is fully compromised by fbi and probably other intelligence orgs by owning the exit nodes. However unless youre doing something worth burning fbi assets and time on, then you are completely anonymous

VPNs are nice so your ISP doesnt doxx you, or to bypass location dependent filtering

What are we referring to

How could I get doxxed through this thingy

Your ISP is not going to casually doxx you but their threshold is lower than fbi. They can also be subpoened.

Bottom line. Dont do stuff thats illegal and VPN should be sufficient.

Thanks for the fast response. @Perihelion - CA @Mark Vandal hope that helps you out bro

It should be noted you can always give away your net identity using compromised browser or just doxxing yourself, e.g. start tor then login to google account in chrome.

for almost all purposes though, this isn't an issue

One big note about Tor. You can deanonymize yourself through sloppy browser usage. Basically if you start a session with a site before activating the onion protocol, and then activate it, your browser is going to keep the session open basically telling them: "HEY REMEMBER THAT GUY WHO WAS JUST HERE? YEAH? YEAH, I'M THAT GUY! YEAH MAN I'M TOTALLY THAT GUY." Don't do this.

best practice is use a browser dedicated to the onion protocol that starts tor on startup

spoilers: the darknet is pretty boring and mostly edgy larp

Privacytools.io read it

IP can give a lot of info even without ISP's cooperation. See this article: https://askleo.com/finding_the_owner_of_an_ip_address/

VPN will prevent this information from being disclosed.

@Mark Vandal going to have to disagree with @Perihelion - CA here. I think you should look up how TOR works, it's not complicated and I think you will see why I think it is the best method for privacy. All a VPN does is route all your traffic through a 3rd party so if they are compromised for whatever reason then all your privacy goes out the window. That can't happen with TOR because no one along the traffic route knows what is the information they are carrying and who it is going to or where it came from.

Sort of. You can be de-anonymized by compromised tor exit nodes. The FBI has done this. But as long as you're not trying to break the law in a way FBI is going to burn assets on, this isn't a problem.

VPN is pretty safe for all legal uses. Unless their management is corrupt (possible you must do your research), then they have to be subpoenaed to compromise you and some don't even keep sufficient records to comply with a subpoena.

neither technique is going to help you if you login to your google account in chrome though

If you use a VPN to login to twitter, twitter is going to see the VPN IP address. All they'll know is that you're a customer of that VPN plus whatever meta data your browser discloses. However if you login to that same twitter account from your android phone without a VPN at a later date, chances are that can be used to pinpoint your location or find your smartphone ISP (phone company).

One thing to keep in mind is that all this cross tabulation takes a lot of work and most people are not going to do it unless you really rustle their jimmies.

@Perihelion - CA As long as they have a no logs policy, you should be good. Nord VPN can even do Onion routing for your traffic.
