No real grand plan right now. I'd like to use different software for the site, but don't want to lose the content that is already here. I'm not a developer, so just creating something from scratch isn't on the table.

Also, I'm not a huge fan of the name 'ramble'. I did this before I ever heard of rumble, and comically enough there is a 'raddle' that is on the same software. I called this place 'ramble' because I was going by 'rambler' on I2P at the time and it seemed fitting.... But the few I've talked to have advised against a name change.

For now, it is what it is. It's open and available. I'll pop in and moderate and share what I can. :)

Momentum can probably be rebuilt - depending on the determination and time available to the admin.

Any grand plan @Rambler ? Or are you just giving the place a shot of adrenaline to keep it alive for now?

Reply to TLS Certificate System More About Control than Protection of Internet Users by HMTg927

47 USC 230, which is explicitly Constitutionally illegal as well as violating 47 USC 202, gives the ability to telecommunications companies on the internet the ability to be exempt from prosecution for denying service to anyone if someone makes a complaint that something is offensive in any way.

What this means is that any necessary service can totally dictate the internet by obstructing communications and denying access to markets and platforms as long as one person says it's offensive.

At the top of the pyramid of control is the ISPs, followed by the DNS, followed by the platforms they can turn off without any legal liability at any time by just saying it's offensive in some way.

It's total control over communications and internet markets for the telecommunications companies and the Feds planted in them.

Things like i2P and tor allow people to run sites without the DNS, but the ISPs can shut them down entirely. i2P is far more resistant to an ISP shut down than Tor.

It doesn't surprise me that TLS would be weaponized because the USA's Federal government wants the maximal amount of leverage in case it loses control over other mechanisms.

And it is the Federal government behind the censorship. They coordinate the blacklists through the fusion centers and they are the ones preventing prosecution of the tech companies under 47 USC 202 which would nullify 47 USC 230 as unConstitutional. They're in total control of this system of manufacturing consent through communications obstruction, and they are the ones responsible for its continuation. It's the FBI and DOJ doing this to the USA.

Reply to 2022.06.22 - LIED AGAIN! Mega says it can’t decrypt your files. New POC working exploit shows otherwise!!! So far, only Apple's iCloud is proven opaque and secure to the server side without passphrase. Shame on Mega. by smartypants

Not sure how it is lying when they do everything they claim and someone just found a way to defeat the encryption to which Mega responded with a patch so that this vector of attack won't work any longer.

Cryptography is a cat and mouse game like that, but at least Mega tries, so no complaints from me.

Also.... if you put something truly sensitive on third party servers you are doing it wrong anyway.
