The rain did not stop me from going out for more kiosk pr0n filming, but it should have. I underestimated my ability to hold an umbrella and a DSLR, causing much aggravation and in one particular moment creating the possibility that a passer-by might have seen a screen filled with a woman performing fellatio on two men at once. If he saw anything this individual did not let on with any sort of stop-and-stare moment of WTF.

I might do one more kiosk pr0n run but now I’m moving on to more intriguing possibilities. The X-rated content I’ve used is all sitting under a shadow directory on my web site which, as I’ve said, for some reason is not blacklisted or filtered in any way. That could baffle me, since many other legitimate and mainstream sites are filtered to at least block images, but I think it’s probably just a simple matter of someone not paying attention. The fact that I’m going through my websites to get to the pr0n is reason to wait a while before doing anything with the videos I’ve made, since any network logging type of information about what content had been accessed through the kiosks should be purged after some period of time, maybe as long as 60 days but maybe as little as 7. If they even are able to access such logs that could identify where the content came from they’d have an easy time shutting me down. I don’t want that, at least not yet.

I was not able to access any New Jersey gambling sites, though I only tried a few. To my surprise I was able to log in to my PLEX server, though once logged in I think the ports and SSL stuff were too much for that kiosk web  browser to handle. That is the first time I’ve ever logged on to anything with a password using a kiosk. I don’t trust the kiosk owners not to intercept my passwords, but I was curious enough in this case to give it a try. PLEX is said to be as invisible a server as you can run on the open Internet. I’ll assume that level of obfuscation extends to the simple act of logging in. How awesome would that be, though, to have access to PLEX from any of these kiosks?

I also looked at installing Guacamole on this web server. That’s an Apache product that would allow me to access my home desktop computer via any web browser. That would, presumably, include the kiosk browser, though it is a clunky little app that chokes on some of the more bloated web pages.

The more intriguing possibilities center around setting up shop anonymously at one of the many free website hosting services and posting content from the kiosks. I found that at least one of those free hosting sites is fully whitelisted by the kiosks. By going through something like that I’d leave less of a trail, or no trail at all.

But I wouldn’t do this just to do it. I’d want to make something of an experience out of the rootlessness of going from one kiosk to another, posting content from the curb. It could be like .MOBI all over again, but with exponentially greater limitations. I probably cannot register for a free hosting account at the kiosk, since accounts are validated via email verification, and I doubt if it’s possible to log in to any web-based email account from one of these things. So I’ll create the account at home via VPN/Tor using an anonymous email account.

I do not know where all this is going but it sounds like a mystery or pulp fiction story to be written: Anonymous calls and anonymous postings to anonymously-credited websites. Living a life on the kiosks.

If I had a proper laptop I could do a lot more things with less legwork, but it’s all good. I like the feeling of limitation and of eking out an online existence through a network that allegedly does not allow it. You’d think I was a digital ascetic.
