There’s nothing illegal about using Tor, which was developed and published by the US Navy and supported by the US State Department. Like other users have said, this is not an exit node which is the only type of node that I would be concerned about running.

Definitely look into I2P which, in a nutshell, is a peer-to-peer version of Tor. Hosting an I2P router comes with no legal risk, too. Hosting an I2P outproxy would be similar to hosting a Tor exit node, so be aware of that.

I think the gun analogy does not really work here: you cannot be held accountable for creating any part of a gun, in case of a murder.

You’re not making the gun, the programmers that wrote the DDoS program did. You’re firing it.

It’s more like, you and a bunch of your friends murder by getting together and flinging the victim with rubber bands until the victim actually dies. Just because all you did was fling a small percentage of the rubber bands and that wouldn’t have killed the victim on your own doesn’t change the fact that you participated in and committed a murder. Legal systems do not have loopholes that allow you to commit crimes like this. They only have loopholes for the ultra wealthy.

I am aware of how this works

No, you are absolutely not aware of how this works. This is a blatant felony. Its like thinking you can’t be convicted for murder because there’s nothing “fundamentally” illegal about shooting a gun.

No, this is not a civil matter or TOS violation. It is a federal crime and felony in the USA under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

So is conspiracy or threat to commit a crime in the CFAA. If you’re in the USA, you should delete this post because it is a federal crime, itself.

There is nothing illegal about creating massive amounts of traffic to an IP/website.

?? No this is extremely illegal.

Yeah, great, except the bot can literally just write whatever it wants to the config file ~/.openclaw/exec-approvals.json and give itself approval to execute bash commands.

There’s probably a hundred trivial ways to get around these permissions and approval requirements. I’ve played around with this bot and also opencode, and have witnessed opencode bypass permissions in real time by just coming up with a different way to do the thing it is wanting to do.

It’s not arbitrary code in this case, it’s well defined functions

No, you’re 100% wrong as the bot can just directly run arbitrary bash commands as well as write arbitrary code to a file and run the file. There’s probably a dozen different ways it can run arbitrary code and many more ways it can be exposed to malicious instructions from the internet.

Ironically, an LLM could generate your nginx config or the guide you’ve requested

Be aware that there are 2 standards for ethernet. See the tables for T568A and T568B termination. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI/TIA-568#T568A_and_T568B_termination I am not an expert, but my understanding is that most all hardware works with either standard. You just want to make sure both ends of the cable are wired the same way, otherwise you’ve made a crossover cable, instead of a straight-through cable. I do T568B.

That’ll do it.

Yes it was very easy. I didn’t even need to run a new cable through the wall to the outlet, just trimmed the end and rewired.

I wire connectors for my own ethernet cables (because it is cheap), and it is pretty easy once you’e done it a couple of times. The outlet is even easier. I highly recommend getting a tool kit for ethernet wiring, having the specialized tool(s) is worth it.

Same symptoms for me, ended up being an ethernet wall outlet between the ONT and the router that needed to be rewired.

Hmm I’ve consulted a mathematician that I know, and they say that cardinality isn’t really the same as “size”, but comparing the two infinite sets of the same cardinality is basically meaningless because infinity is not a “number”, even though one set is provably “bigger” than the other set

Alright, I concede. I did it wrong but still ended up with the right answer. There are other responses in this thread with correct explanation for why Asia has more coastline

Go ahead, try to label every real number with an integer, I’ll wait.

Why would I be trying to do this though? You’ve got the argument backwards.

Is the set of all real numbers between 0 and 100 bigger or equal to the set of all real numbers between 0 and 1?

It seems like I’m wrong though and these sets are the same “size” lol

Not all infinities are equal, friend. Asia does have more infinite coastline than other continents.

Yep, this is exactly what I do.

Know anything about Oracle products? Lol

Is it okay if I call him Senile Joe? What about Slow Joe? Shaky Joe?
