Recently found out about this channel. Actually first encountered podcast was just "autoplayed" by YT. And now i can't stop binging. It's significant that in the era of tic-tocs and clickbait videos there are still people who put effort and quality into their content. "Darknet diaries" is astonishing podcast. Thank you for your work, Jack.

nobody seems to think its a bit odd that this guy got treatment only Trump gets when they come with a warrant? And they listened to him explain who's in the house after politely knocking and waiting for him to come and answer? Since when do they serve warrants like that? And how many people would answer their door if they did? Just him. Then finding all those drugs and him admitting what he does and they just say ok and leave telling him they'll let him know when to come to court? And this sounded believable to you? Have you EVER heard the cops behave anything similar to that? Do you not wonder that the guy that operated the Silk Road who did this same thing got life with out parole but he got a slap on the wrist and sent home? This guy and his story is blatantly false and has serious issues. There's nothing "good" about it.

Dude I absolutely LOVE your channel. Only discovered it a few weeks back and have binge watching ever since
There was this Russian darknet market, Hydra. It's now defunct, but when it operated, it had a strict set of rules about not making a stash near playgrounds or police stations. They had a test program, where the admins would pick up some stashes and test them with a mass spectrograph, so that there was at least some guarantee that it's the stuff that was ordered. Some stores had this (admin-placed) banner that said "this store sells spice", which is an umbrella term for synthetic cannabinoids that are also easy to overdose on. So it's not uncommon to have ethical drug deals. The market was closed last year during a raid on their data center in Germany.

Definitely. We need a completely different way of looking at drugs. Instead of "all drugs are bad, stay away from anything to do with any of them, don't even learn anything about them", we should know the difference between them, what their effects are, which ones are simple party drugs and which can kill us, etc. I think it would turn out in a way parallel to sex-ed. Abstinence-only sex-ed (not that it can really be called that) states are also the ones with the highest teen pregnancy rates. We need drug-ed the same way we need sex-ed. Good thing the internet is making some strides in that direction too.

What's interesting is the fact that my particular use case is not alien to the application of most operational security instances. Granted most of the time the threat model that most people have are not gonna be as extreme but reviewing extreme cases to plan for the less intense ones I feel definitely would be beneficial to your average person who needs to plan for personal operational security, be it a business or a personal endeavor.
