Been wondering lately if the folks who tell us shit like “we don’t log your IP” are instead keeping a hash of the IP, which a dedicated actor (like a state intelligence apparatus, or law enforcement) could probably combine with other sources to out you.
Good thing this site is open source so we don't have to wonder.
Well yeah, of course. Otherwise there'd be more of us here who could build cool shit. My point is that it's all there for anyone to vet who has put in the time to learn how.

If you've got any proof hexbear is hashing all the IPs of everyone and storing them, then please make a post about it because I think we'd all want to know.

Not everyone can read code, comrade.
