It may be, I see no specific setting for it on my end. There are some config settings available to whitelist certain IPs, which I have to use so Tor Onion, I2P, Loki network users don't get rate limited since they share the same IP of the network connection they're using...
I can individually whitelist accounts which does: "Whitelisting will allow this user to bypass IP bans and some flood protections. Additionally, their IP addresses will no longer be stored." So I've gone ahead and done that for you, but no sort of global "X posts per 1 hour" type of rule to be set.
IPs are merged automatically on a cronjob schedule anyway for everyone so whitelisting really only prevents you from getting stopped by the spam filter that has no configurable settings anywhere.

And of course, LibreSSL is dead in Linux, so were all screwed, I guess.
(also, yes, LibreSSL also has security vulnerabilities, but way less than OpenSSL.)

no updates in arch linux yet but somehow it's already been patched in debian stable ... :^)

I think it's more of a global thing. I get three submissions per hour (independent of where I post), after that: https://i.imgur.com/MQ89QxW.png
Thought it's to prevent spam.

Wait, this happens?
Send me a PM with details if you can and I'll review it further as able.

On a technological level I might agree, but other than that it's just a different experience. Voat didn't limit me to three posts per subverse per hour, like Ramble does. And Voat had some privileges attached to the Internet points you could collect. Above 100 points or so, all restrictions were lifted and beyond that it didn't matter, anymore.
This was a measure against bots and shills. Not sure if it accomplished anything. But since the original Voat is now dead, everything will be better, so there's that.

At least [RAMBLE] is not Clownflared, doesn't require JavaScript, doesn't limit you to one post per day. You know, it's just better than the now defunct Voat.co.

This may not be Voat, but it sure as hell feels like Voat.
Don't stress out too much, if it's down, it's down.

Reply to What's the next, "BitCoin" in your opinion? With so many crypto-coins available now, which ones do you think actually have long term applications for growth similar to the Bitcoin explosion? by Rambler
whoever solves the scaling problems will be the "next" bitcoin.

When I was a student, it seemed like teachers got great satisfaction out of that exchange.
"Can I go to the bathroom?"
-- "I don't know, can you?"
<sighs> "May I go to the bathroom?"
I had 8 classes each day and just pissed between them like a normal person but it seemed like that once per day I'd witness this exchange. It seemed to always give the teachers satisifaction to correct the student and it happened enough that I know when to use "may I" and "can I" in normal discussion for fear of activating some smug look on the other person's face.

Maybe they don't report when it can be settled in other ways. "It's Chinatown" is a cliche for a reason.

Reply to comment by onion in What FBI Stats Really Reveal About Asian Hate Crimes by onion
Asians are the only demographic shown where the victim and the offender aren't usually the same race.
Ex: White on white violence makes up 62% of violence with a white victim. Black on black violence being 70% of the cause of a black violence victim... Yet Asians, across the board, seemingly are the victim almost equally from the other races. (24% white offender, 27% black offender, 24% Asian offender, 7% Hispanic offender, 14% other.
Asians also have the lowest number of reported violent incidents but I'm not sure if that's due to their population size or not,.
Who are these people hating Asians? They work hard, the have good family values and push their children to be educated and productive members of society. They're good people. If they're in America it's because they left behind a shit hole for a better future and they almost always work hard and achieve the American dream. It's amazing what they're able to achieve in just two generations, from poverty to grandson going to med school and becoming a doctor.

Reply to Teenager who hacked Apple, Bill Gates and Joe Biden accounts is sentenced to prison by Rambler
You know, I generally don't like the whole "throw the book at the hacker" mentality the legal system has sometimes, in this case, the prison time is due to the financial fraud component of this. He hacked those accounts... To trick people into giving him bitcoin. I'm ok with the years for that. His life isn't ruined.

Let me present here my opition, not strictly related to "coins" about which you are asking. Instead of trying get get a quick buck, have a look at The Bitcoin Standard book. In more general terms it is like planting a tree: "The Best Time to Plant a Tree was 20 Years Ago. The Second-best Time is Now!"
Anytime someone gets interested in "anycoins" my question is: do you intend to run a node for that network during the time you own anything?
Another important thing to realize is that even the second most popular "crypto" tringy (starting with letter E) had a 72 million pre-mine in its genesis block:
$ torsocks ./bitquery.io.sh
curl is /usr/bin/curl
jq is /usr/bin/jq
Timestamp: 1616268327
total=118176381.81876291
premine=72009990.49947998
premine/total = 60.93400%
This means that more than 60% of this "E*" coin were created out of thin air and no real mining costs may be applied to them. Now imagine all that NFT hype… See the source of above-used bitquery.io.sh script at bin.idrix.fr. See also bitquery.io article and feel free to look for the pre-mined transactions in etherscan explorer (or any other which knows about the genesis block on that network).
Live long and prosper!

Wow. Thanks. I didn't know that. I thought Monero was one of the few anon coins. Are their other coins that are anonymous?

I think the main benefit of something like this is that if the internet goes down, you still have Wikipedia. Could be useful in a disaster scenario that results in an internet outage for an extended period.

as cool as this is, i donated over 1k this year to wikipedia and they get plenty more than that i think itll be fine.

Not only you can run it on your computer, but also on your Android device, so you can take Wikipedia wherever you go. Although...
Wikipedia may just shut down completely.
I don't think that Wikimedia Foundation will die. I mean, they do like "fighting disinformation", which we call censorship, so I guess they might be working with big corpos. And, well, anyone could edit Wikipedia, so even then, it might not be correct. But hey, you got a search engine to dig deep into whatever you want, and then you can save the website and also take it wherever you want. And hey, Kiwix has other stuff worth taking a look, like Project Gutenberg, where they archive books that are public domain in the United States, so there's that...

Cool, thank you very much. Then I can enable IP spoofing again without running into issues again.
