@snacks @twinspin6 Just pipe your traffic directly through the CIA instead of needing them to MitM the network yeah

@anemone @twinspin6 you can't run a site that doesn't fit to the private key, so as long as you connect to the correct address you know you're not connected to an impostor

@anemone @twinspin6 well, unless they stole the private key but that's the same but as with cas

@snacks @anemone and you don't implicitly trust a whole fucking bunch of people from the beginning

@snacks@netzsphaere.xyz @twinspin6@outerheaven.club Couldn't you accomplish the same thing by everyone just using self-signed certificates that you manually trust?

@anemone @twinspin6 no, even with tofu pinning you could be talking to an impostor on first connection

@snacks @anemone you don't have to literally enter the pubkey in the address bar and hence dns strikes again

@snacks@netzsphaere.xyz @twinspin6@outerheaven.club i do not see how this is practically better then typing the public key into your address bar like tor. You could get the certificate from a trusted third party which is no different from getting the onion address from a trusted third party
