#MintPress | The CIA Built Hundreds of Covert Websites. Here’s What They Were Hiding
"t seemed like an ingenious idea. However, Hosseini and the other spies were soon detected, thanks to some sloppy mistakes in Washington, D.C. ...

That meant that the IP addresses of these websites were consecutive, akin to housing each informant in adjacent properties on the same street."

Is one big flaw in how we generally think about #SocialWeb and #Fediverse development in how we embrace this vibrant feeling and energy that existed at the time the early web was emerging? At that time time the expectation was that the #Web would liberate us.
A decade later we have #BigTech, the Corporate Web and #SurveillanceCapitalism, while #Technofeudalism and #Dystopia are knocking on the door.

Trying to replace a macOS-compatible gizmo, but all hits are just Android/iOS based - many explicitly *not* laptop/desktop compatible; all needing a custom apps to work.
Tried to find reviews, but all are astroturf fake reviews from sellers.
