If a packet is traversing an ISP’s network the ISP should have to know where it is coming from and where it is going, right? So even if you “encrypt the first hello” packet, the ISP would still know where it was routed, right?
I’ll freely admit I have only a very basic (and likely outdated) understanding of IP networking, but I don’t see how this protects my browsing habits from my ISP. Even if they can’t understand my “hello” to lemmy.ml, they still know I’m talking to lemmy.ml’s IP address about something.
Obtuse would be interpreting that phrase to include a responsibility for the federal government to preserve the global climate as it was in the particular time in which the constitution was written.
