While Astroplasm is a small static website run by some weirdo who collects vintage bedsheets, it's worth knowing what's going on. If you have any questions or suggestions, please email me at alexlutz (at) gmail.com.

Astroplasm does not collect or retain your data in any way.

This site is light on javascript, and the only javascript here handles randomization and gradients. None of this has anything to do with your browsing, though users more conscious of fingerprinting may want to try the Mullvad browser for more control.

Astroplasm does not know where you're browsing from.

While other sites like to have doo-dads that show you which country you're in, this one doesn't.

Astroplasm does not know who you even are.

And even if I could, what could I do with it? Does this look like a deranged cybercriminal to youse? In some attempt at seriousness, the site's random.txt is sourced from all over the web and names are mostly withheld for the sake of not attracting undue attention to their authors. Featuring a quote is not an endorsement of its values, and in many cases is a display of the contrary. That, and being silly enough to say over and over again.

Astroplasm does not let its links get hijacked by bad actors

The outgoing links for this site use no-refer, which is a form of protection from men-in-the-middle and potential browser-hijacking.

Astroplasm only uses the Wayback Machine for http links

You know, so you can look at furry porn from thirty years ago without getting blasted by vietnamese gambling sites.

Astroplasm encourages you, however, to take proper privacy measures outside of this place

Ditch your mainstream chromnium-based browsers for a good, hardened version of Firefox. Pearl uses Waterfox but she'll also reccommend Librewolf or the Mullvad browser. We both use ProtonVPN and it's best paired with one of the aforementioned browsers. Educate yourself on Operational Security and keep close tabs on what accounts you use online, what sites you use and what information you share. Stay safe out there!
