TunnelVision, as the researchers have named their attack, largely negates the entire purpose and selling point of VPNs, which is to encapsulate incoming and outgoing Internet traffic in an encrypted tunnel and to cloak the user's IP address. The researchers believe it affects all VPN applications when they're connected to a hostile network and that there are no ways to prevent such attacks except when the user's VPN runs on Linux or Android. They also said their attack technique may have been possible since 2002 and may already have been discovered and used in the wild since then.

( . . . . )

Interestingly, Android is the only operating system that fully immunizes VPN apps from the attack because it doesn't implement option 121. For all other OSes, there are no complete fixes. When apps run on Linux there's a setting that minimizes the effects, but even then TunnelVision can be used to exploit a side channel that can be used to de-anonymize destination traffic and perform targeted denial-of-service attacks. Network firewalls can also be configured to deny inbound and outbound traffic to and from the physical interface. This remedy is problematic for two reasons: (1) a VPN user connecting to an untrusted network has no ability to control the firewall and (2) it opens the same side channel present with the Linux mitigation.

Here's Albini recounting buying child pornography while in Hamburg:

Jaded as I am, I can't help but flip seeing a girl and guy of twelve or thirteen, tops, ramming Martel bottles up each other's asses. These are not the Dutch equivalent of abused trailer-park kids, either. They look to be in excellent health and seem to be honestly enjoying this. Makes all the conventional arguments against this kind of thing seem really silly.

They're kids. Kids like to play with their own and other people's privates. They're just being photographed at it. Now, people who get a voyeuristic charge out of watching them, like me, I guess, well, we've got some grip-on-reality problems. There's maybe 1% of all pornography that has any effect on me, and it's definitely not a turn-on very often. But when it is, and it's as weird as this, it's pretty hard to take.

And here's him promoting his friend, Peter Sotos', chld pronography magazine:

The cover of PURE 2 is a guy holding open a toddler's puny hole so his spuzz can dribble out. The girl is past crying. She is destroyed. [...] Like I said, I like that sort of thing

Sotos later defended his use of child pornography in cout, stating "child abuse is a sublime pleasure"

https://www.chicagotribune.com/1985/12/06/100000-bond-in-child-pornography-case/

Albini also produced an album for Sotos called Buyer's Market, which Wikipedia describes as "sound collages of spoken word samples from parents, law-enforcement officers and victims of s*x crimes and pedophilia". When asked about his relationship with Sotos in a reddit AMA, this is what he had to say:

Peter's an old friend. I've known him for 30 years or so. I'll help him do whatever he wants to do, from wash his car to edit his album.

So, I've been divorced for a number of years and have been on numerous dates. What I've noticed is that many men who have hit their 50's and are were in long marriages/relationships seem to be very open about their fetishes. I'm wondering if they have got to a certain age whereby, they feel they no longer want to suppress these feelings?

I'm met the following:

A man with a foot fetish

A man with a wee fetish

A man who likes cross dressing

A man how likes 'Daddydom' (I had to look that one up!)

A man who is obsessed by writing erotica

... and a lastly.... and man who wanted to be a wizard!!!

Is it wrong to just want someone who likes changing the oil on his car or who is happy to do the weekly shop?!!!!!

Change the oil? Not until we've finished the roleplay, go fetch my robe and wizard hat

Not sure if it's about them not suppressing those feelings anymore. More like they are single or not in a longterm relationship because of their fetishes. If it's a proper relationship, their main sexual relationship in life is not with the woman they're with, it's with their fetish. Its a sort of devotion or sexual obsession in some. You are simply a prop to enact it

>he either likes me or likes s*x not both

curious trait of foid reasoning

Anything to remind themselves that they are different, relevant and not that old. I suspect.

Nothing like developing a piss fetish to show everyone how cool you are

I heard a sexologist talking about this in relation to cross dressing. He said that libido drops as men get older so whereas they used to be able to get turned on by regular s*x without indulging in their fetish, as their libido drops they need their fetish to get turned on or conversely they don't want to waste what libido they do have on s*x that's not the most satisfying for them. So the fetish becomes more important.

Interesting, but probably nah. People just get more confident to be themselves as they get older, and this is what being yourself looks like if you're a scrote

This is a very funny thread. All people have fetishes. All of us do. The most common kink fetish is actually female feet (Also called The Gateway Drug).

wtf no one calls it that

Kink, fetishes, are cool. Can be lots of fun IF we practise Risk Aware Consensual Kink (RACK) AND Safe Sane Consensual (SSC).

s*x autists are always fun though, they have more acronyms and special terminology than your lamest corporate middle manager

I expect one of them is my ex H. Divorced him because he insisted on wearing rubber all the time and wanted to go swinging.

Yuck. That certainly isn't my life plan.

Someone else is welcome to him.

I do feel kind of sorry for foids sometimes though, they think they've found someone nice for a cosy fulfilling relationship and he pulls her to the side one day and starts to explain how he won't be happy unless he's getting fricked up the arse in a gimp mask and leather corset

hi. posting this because a lot of people are questioning me for posting the loli god requiem video after i, admittedly, did attack a creator for liking that kind of stuff 2 years ago.

when i first started vtubing, i did not understand the culture in the slightest. i was mostly a cringe stan twitter user. so, coming into vtubing and anime culture, someone who had zero clue as to what anything was, i didn't understand anything and when i saw loli stuff i immediately assumed it was p-do shit.

(keep this part in mind as you're reading the rest. when i first started streaming, i had a bigger content creator convince me that drama = content so i should “farm that shit”)

so, me, still slowly coming out my woke stan twitter phase and entering the vtubing phase, i saw what a bunch of people were posting about a streamer on twitter and i immediately jumped the hate bandwagon because i wanted to take my friend's advice .. which lead me to call out the girl LIVE on MY stream where her name had NO business being there.

looking back at it, i wasn't even trying to criticize. i was just straight up bullying her and trying to de-platform her when i didn't even know who she truly is as a person. we have so many mutual friends in common and any time her name was brought up in idle chit chat, i started feeling really bad. because everyone had said nothing but nice things about her. and it became more clear and clear to me that she didn't deserve that.

as for apologizing to her, ive reached to a mutual friend of ours back in february (because her dms are closed) in attempt to send my apology to her. said friend told me that she wasn't answering dms because it was clear she was going through something at the time.

after i started gaining experience in streaming over the year, ive learned so many things. you'd actually have to be mentally inept to do what i did over a year ago. it's just rude, unnecessary, and disrespectful. i know that now.

and if somehow this message gets to you, i am very sorry for what i did. i didn't know you and yet i attacked you without even educating myself with who you truly are. my behavior was unacceptable. i will continue to learn how to be a better person. side note, i hope u feel better with what ur dealing with atm. it sounds rough, so pls take all the time u need to heal. u have so many people who love and appreciate u that will be waiting for u with open arms.

and sorry to those who i upset with my previous post. as i've delved deeper into the world of vtubing, i've gained a better understanding of anime culture. i've come to understand that characters with youthful appearances are common across media forms. i've come to appreciate their innocence without any negative implications. ive pretty much adopted an entirely new outlook on this subject.

in conclusion, not the same person who i was two years ago. i hate her too. i hope u can give present me a chance. if not, that's okay too. have nice day.

IDK who this person is, I just know now that the V tuber community strongly stands with Drake!

Grooming with Adults

it's come to my attention that this place is nothing but an echo chamber for some negative opinions. i've seen fellow members defend blatant child abuse and predatory behavior. the most recent example of this type of thing is on a post of a 24 year old asking if she was being groomed. people kept insulting her and anyone who said that it's possible. they made the claims that “adults can't be groomed” and “once you turn 20, it becomes a personal decision.”

so let me explain what grooming is…

grooming can happen when there is a power differential within a relationship, which the abuser exploits for their own gratification. this is most commonly recognised as a tactic used by perpetrators of child sexual abuse, both on children and parents. however, adults can also be groomed.

if you believe that just because someone is an adult, that they are “allowing themselves” to be put through this, maybe it's time to look inward and find out what's causing you to be so ignorant. grooming doesn't magically stop when you turn 18, 25, or even 50.

i already know what the comments are going to look like and i'm prepared to handle all of it like an adult. if you're going to create a strawman argument, at least be original or unique about it.

ad hominem all you like, but insulting someone for speaking the truth just makes you look like an butt.

He takes his fricking kids on the highway in this shit. R-slur. I hope he gets hit by a bus.

I'm gonna go watch some YouTube videos of cyclists getting door-checked to wash the taste out.

Good news is I got regular severance which should carry me for like 5 months worth of expenses.

Bad news is I have a mortgage.

Good news is I'm already doing interviews.

Bad news is they don't seem to pay as much as I was getting.

Good news is I have alcohol 🥃 to cope with today.

Bad news is I have GAD.

Woman gets out of the car to argue with her husband while inside a Tiger Safari pic.twitter.com/MpI2UJoSNm

Her family is now suing the Tiger Safari

The devastated family of a woman eaten alive by a safari park tiger are suing zoo bosses for £250,000.

The tragic incident began when a young woman got out of a car inside the Siberian tiger enclosure to berate her partner in the driver's seat.

One of the powerful creatures quickly pounced at Badaling Wildlife Park in Beijing, China.

Her mother and a man then also got out and went to her rescue.

The woman is speaking into the car when the tiger approaches from behind

The older woman, known only by her surname Zhao, was then attacked by a second tiger who dragged her to her death as park rangers frantically tried to intervene.

Her daughter survived the attack and launched a bid for compensation.

Yanqing district government said the tourists should be held accountable as they ignored warnings from the park authorities.

But now the family are seeking damages of £250,000 (HK$2.3 million), which the park rejected.

The horrendous incident was partly captured on shocking CCTV footage.

A silver car is driving along a paved pathway through the park when it comes to a stop.

A young woman gets out of the front passenger seat, slams her door and stomps round to the driver's side.

The driver also opens his door as the woman appears to remonstrate with him.

But within seconds, a tiger appears from nowhere and pounces on the woman's back from behind.

She appears to hear it coming only at the last second and is unable to escape.

The animal pulls her to the ground and away from the vehicle with lightning speed.

The man gets out of the car and for a moment appears unsure whether to get back in or go after the woman.

He then disappears off camera.

A few seconds later, the older woman also gets out the car as park rangers appear in a jeep.

The man appears to motion her back into the vehicle, but she runs with him off camera as well.

The second tiger attack is not captured on camera.

The park has been closed while an investigation is underway, according to local media.

Sources told ChinaNews said the accident involved a family of four including three adults and a child.

As the vehicle travelled through the Siberian tiger garden area, there was an "altercation" between the young woman and man who was driving.

She suddenly got out of the car and went to try and open his door.
