How is it that my friends have done cool computer touching stuff and know a lot about computers and I am a clueless loser who doesn't?
I've never even looked into running a Tor onion hidden service thingy...
(Though, I guess that it's somewhat pointless, people are a lot more likely to look at my website if I just tell them a normal URL than something that they have to install totally different software for...)

@vaporeon_ i literally just did not have any source of income fur a long time, not even an allowance, and i did not have any real control of the networking in the house, so a lot of my time in college and several years afterwards was doing things i didn’t have to pay money fur and didn’t have to open ports in the router fur. Tor happens to satisfy both those needs. it’s actually very easy to set up a hidden service—imo, much more so than a “normal” website. you don’t have to worry about DNS or TLS or NAT at all. just set up a server, reverse proxy Tor to it, and it’s accessible globally, in minutes, with end to end encryption to all clients. you can do this behind 300 layers of NAT between you and the Internet and it would work. neat stuff
