<p><img class="big" src="../../../img/IdyllTimeout.png" alt="Idyll Browser timeout error"></p>
<p>Going back to the main Utopia window, I went to the "Search" tab and started typing in random terms. The first one that came to mind was "music", which returned the domain... "justinbiebermusic.com". That site didn't load. I tried "utopia", which returned "darkutopia" and "utopia-google", neither of which loaded. (uNS doesn't require a domain to have a TLD, and you can just add whatever arbitrary TLDs you want to your registered domain.) Most domains were registered sometime in 2019, but I couldn't sort for new ones because clicking the "registration date" title on the table doesn't trigger any sorting. I looked in the manual to see if I was doing something wrong, but the troubleshooting section only gave instructions to reinstall the proxy configuration file and nothing else. The manual also claimed that I could go to "http://utopia" to test if the browser was working, but <em>that</em> domain also timed out. The only uNS site I could get working was "http://crp"... which is an internal crptocurrency exchange.</p>

<p>I thought about setting up a test site in Utopia. My usual <em>modus operandi</em> when it comes to darknets is to eschew any centralized domain service, like how I2P users insist you register a domain on one of three barely-functional services: one of them tried to set up <code>mayvaneday.i2p</code> without my knowledge, but I blocked requests from that domain pretty quickly- and just use the public key I'm given. So I opened up the uNS registry and went to "Packet Forwarding", but Utopia insisted that I could only set up packet forwarding after I bought a uNS record, costing about 10 CRP. (At the time of writing, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230107220410/https://nomics.com/markets/crp2-crypton/usd-united-states-dollar">that's about $6.25</a>.)</p>

<p>So I can't chat or email because I have nobody to do it with. I can't play chess by myself. (And there are better ways to do so.) I can't access websites unless it's to buy a shitcoin. I can't host my own website because I don't have the money to burn on shitcoins for a network where almost none of the websites work. There's nothing for me to do on Utopia. So I closed the program and copied my <code>strace</code> capture to the host computer and shut down the VM.</p>
<p>Now for the allegations of the Utopia client being malware...</p>
<p>According to <code>strace</code>, Utopia did not attempt to access any sensitive files in my home directory. If it had tried to access something sensitive like <code>~/.ssh</code>, it would have shown up in the logs, even if the file or directory was nonexistent. In my home directory, Utopia accessed:</p>
