What does that mean?

I use Mixmin but I use it just like any other nntp server.
How is he the master of the smoke screen?

I went to the web page you suggested and didn't understand anything.
Here's just one example http://www.mixmin.net/map.png

Pouring a bunch of files into a dumpster, and setting it on fire,
is not a "web server".

The map.png is a map of everything running on the machine.
m2n is "mail2news" function. For other functions, like
a mixmaster, you can look some of them up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixmaster_anonymous_remailer

The file map.png, is from the year 2012, or eleven years ago.
