Also... why doesn't the notification thingie in the top disappear after answering the thing that I was notified about? Do I have to manually clear notifications?

Since Gimp 2.8 the software refuses to let you open a jpg and save it as jpg. You have to use export instead and jump through some hoops. If you try to save, Gimp tells you no can do. In a really condescending way, too. Pissed me off so much the first time, I immediately rolled it back. Since then I've tried a few more times, but this weird workflow of opening jpgs and having to export them doesn't work for me.
It's an image editor as far as I'm concerned. It's supposed to edit images. Not create elaborate projects worth saving. I open, I edit, I save (to jpg) and I'm done. The stupid export thing will also sometimes keep a useless xfc file. Really aggravating. Like you're not supposed to use the thing as an image editor. Devs have also been extremely conceited when it was pointed out to them how stupid this change was and basically told everyone raising concerns they should use something else. Therefore, this project is pretty much dead to me.

Wait, what? There was a version without jpg support? I've been using it for years and have never noticed that.
Currently rocking GIMP 2.10.8 for reference.

Heh,.. I never forgave them for the "I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you save as *jpg" bullshit, so I stuck with 2.6 and will continue to do so. Possibly I'm completely moving over to ImageMagick, though. Already use it for most of my image editing.

Thanks!
~$ torsocks curl -s https://check.torproject.org/ | grep Congratulations.
Congratulations. This browser is configured to use Tor.
Congratulations. This browser is configured to use Tor.
Still no go in Thunderbird with setting up the proxy. I'll dig into it more, because I think that's the ticket. The TorBirdy plugin is outdated and has been for a while, which is what seems to be used previously. I may boot up in Tails or something similar to see if the issue persists.

replace "russian hackers" with "CIA via russian vpn tunnel" and it makes a lot more sense.

Reply to comment by Rambler in Best way to add an image to a Ramble post / comment? by jack_walking
Just asking cause I wanted to create an album of historic climbing pictures on /f/rockclimbing.
An in-post display solution would look much better than a bunch of imgur links.

Reply to If you buy Monero with your debit or credit card, and move it from the original wallet to a new wallet, can the original purchase be traced back to you? by MrBlack
no, the blockchain is opaque
it's recommended to split purchases into dedicated stealth addresses, and I'd personally do:
buy XMR -> withdraw to stealth address of wallet #1 -> move to stealth address of wallent #2 -> spend

Not only replayability. I took the screenshot during my very first playthrough and to this day haven't finished that particular game.

If have rooted your phone, you can use something like OAndBackup and copy the backup files to another phone and restore it there. But I don't think a lot of people have root. Would be great if they implemented it though.

Yeah it's shitty but Amazon makes a ton of products and of course they're going to use the data they already have to help themselves.

They say they found remains at the scene but don't know if it was a innocent victim or the person doing the bombing now.

"But I've forked the codebase, hopefully there will be enough use of this site to warrant some custom development for features that this community wants." unrelated to this discussion i would love to hear more about this. might be worth a new post.
Basically, I'm not a developer. I have a lot of random skills but I'm not a 'master' at any of them. I've been hosting websites in some capacity for almost 20 years, however. You'd think in that time I'd have graduated past some basic php/python/bash scripting, but nope. :)
In the future I'd like to get some custom development done to implement some of the features some of you have requested. The only reason I'm not pushing that hard right now is because I want to see if the site continues to grow, as it's only been two weeks since it's launch, and because I'm unemployed and simply can't afford to offer anything in return for custom development at this time. (But hoping that will change in the future, as I continue to look for local work). Hosting is covered however, as it's 'cheap' in comparison to that of custom dev work.

Dude, I love it. I stream some from the yggdrasil site occasionally. Some good albums on there.
I added it to my Yggdrasil directory and I believe it's on the I2P one as well.
Merry Christmas to you as well and thanks for the music.
EDIT: Jamming out to The Flaming Lips now. Saw them live a few years back and it was a wonderful experience. Things stream well over Yggdrasil and my slow-as-fuck rural commercial wifi internet connection. (C'mon Starlink, let me beta you!)

Ah, hell. Even the only outproxy worth a damn isn't in the default subscription list: purokishi.i2p
I've been advertising this site (ramble.i2p) and getting people to join and check out the I2P network without realizing they can't access this site and suggesting purokishi.i2p as their outproxy when they complain about the slow false.i2p default outproxy without realizing neither are accessible out of the box.
Glad I did a default vanilla install to test something out as a brand new user and realized this.
Is there a reason why you have to do register your domain in different locations to be on different subscription list (and wait days) and why the default one can't just include everything by default? Seems like it'd be a lot more user friendly that way, considering you can spin up a .onion domain in seconds, the same with a Loki or Yggdrasil address.
I like I2P a lot and want to see it grow but I didn't quite realize the shortcomings of the default, vanilla product.
The vanilla help/documentation states:
Speaking of address book updates, this would be a good time to add some more addressbooks to your own subscription list. Go to your Subscriptions Configuration page and add one or more for an automatically updated list of new hosts:
http://stats.i2p/cgi-bin/newhosts.txt (stats.i2p)
http://no.i2p/export/alive-hosts.txt (no.i2p)
Why not just include them by default instead of recommending them? That would add functionality and access out of the box.

Add peanut butter and tuna to your ramen. Trust me. (Chicken flavor is the best, and the chipolte tuna is the best)

Reply to comment by !deleted261 in The Truth About Protonmail - Privacy Watchdog by Rambler
Although some points are worded a bit... extreme, they make sense.
Protonmail DOES redirect you to their clearnet site for signing up, but this doesn't mean they are compromised.
And as far as E2EE is concerned, this depends on your threat level. You could use a different email provider (or self-host) and manually encrypt your messages. Or you could trust somebody to do this for you. And as far as a normal user is concerned, protonmail is a good start. Other claims in the article do seem far-fetched.
