I wish to share with you people a wonderful thing called TOR, aka The Onion Router.
I've suspected for a long time that people have been watching/safeguarding our every move on the net. >.> And I'm not the only one. A very smart person (who I have had the chance to meet by the way 
) invented some time ago The Onion Router, TOR for short. And it is a beautiful thing because it makes you totally anonymous in the net. You could research anything from how to shampoo your dog to child porn* and nobody will ever know it's you. It's so powerful, it's difficult even for the NSA (or anybody) to hack. And you know what? If they want to go incognito (but for real), they use it too.

If they want to go incognito (but for real), they use it too.How It Works
TOR, when used, will select a totally random path to your final destination (aka the site you want to go to). It'll go from here to there and back again on the network and 'exit' through an Exit Node** (which some really nice guy will have set up). So basically you input your URL in the bar, or you click a link, and TOR will find its way there in the most difficult manner possible.
Why It's Safe
TOR is called The 'Onion' Router for a reason. Literal LAYERS of encryption hide your data. Challenge Accepted? Be my guest.
Why Should You Get It?
Downloading TOR (for free) will not only hide you, but hide others. See, it's still a network, and if your region sees there's a network, they'll block it off (don't worry, there's a solution for that too***). But if MANY people use it, it'll become much and much harder to see where the real 'paths' are. The more, the better.
I'm not advertising or anything. I'm not paid or asked to do this. I simply want to offer a little privacy to my fellow non-Americans who are mad at the injustice of the NSA. You can download it here www.torproject.org/ It's the official site, don't worry. If you TRULY want to be anonymous while using it, READ THE INFORMATION on the site. You may have the invisibility cloak, but you got to hold it over you or it'll just fall off eventually.
Finally...you may not want to buy this because I just stated that it will help others as well, and 'others' implies criminals. And not only that, but you may (by a large margin) not do anything interesting on the net at all. But still, while there ARE criminals, others just want to feel safe, or refuse Big Brother's 'watchful' stare. I'm doing it because I don't want to be followed, and I don't want my data stacked somewhere. It's my life for crying out loud, and I want to keep it.
*I do NOT support this. In fact, I hate it with my heart. But it makes the message more powerful, so bear with me.
**Exit Nodes. While the network is invisible, it has to 'surface' somewhere, like the entrance to an anthill. These Exit Nodes are set up by people around the world. and yes, what you research is on their IP address; they're sticking their neck out, folks.
***This solution is called Bridge Relays. Read about it here: www.torproject.org/docs/bridge… again, official site, no worries.
Dead. Ish. Here's Some News About That
It is getting more and difficult to remain online, and more so to come to this site every single day. It's another element of procrastination for me, instead of the source of inspiration it used to be.
No, I am not deleting this account, I am not going to remove any of the data here. I am simply going to unwatch most of the groups I'm following, and will no longer personally say thank you to favs, llamas and watches.
However, when I do create something worth posting, such as a dracoloid, or a re-written piece of text, I WILL upload it here, though just in my gallery; it will no longer go to any groups. This is for the people who really wa
Nope. Not Dead.
Hello DA~!
As the title says; no, I am not dead.
High school started a few months ago, which is huge in itself, as it's a new building and new people and I'm still adapting. Not only that but I've started art class there, and the homework there is difficult. In consequence, I haven't been able to draw anything Vocaloid-related in a while...or anything that I would consider putting up here. Writing is also put to a halt, and any other little project is also...asleep.
Regretfully I shall not say 'but I am back now and better than ever' because that would be a lie. This is simply a message saying that not only am I still breathing but I am ind
HAPPY EASTER~!
I wish a Happy Easter to everybody~!!! ^-^ Of course, if this journal is still up months afterwards, just consider it a wish to a good day~ ^_^
So, how was easter for everybody? Family get-together, egg hunt, special events? :D
I myself went to Polymanga~ It was in Montreux this year, so I had to take the train. But it was worth it...oh yes it was. Mostly because I got to participate at a mini Vocaloid concert! Of course, it wasn't close to the 'real thing', but gawd, it was fun. and I got a Luka figurine~!!!! ~yeshplz (https://www.deviantart.com/yeshplz) So purty~ Besides that a CD which came with a poster, and a mouse pad. Nothing compared to the treasure I hoarded last
Dragon Gakupo
Ok, so I've been thinking about him for a LONG time. And one big question came to my mind; would Gakupo look better as an Eastern, or a Western dragon?
The difference is that Western (my favorites) have (stereotypically) four limbs, and two wings. Horse-dog-ish kind of body build. Things I draw, in short. Eastern have longer, snake-like bodies and no wings, and four 'shorter' limbs...kind of like a dachshund. ~dachshundplz (https://www.deviantart.com/dachshundplz)(so cute~) They are also really bearded, and carry wish-granting divine beads around (yay for vast info (thx :iconiluvianmelody:)).
So Gakupo could really be both. But I hesitated on him vis-a-vis Eastern or not beca
