That sounds like a browser issue forcing https:// for login pages. No issue logging into ramble.i2p here over http://.

Check you don't have an addon or configuration option enforcing https:// .. usual suspects are:

  • HTTPSEverywhere addon
  • Duckduckgo privacy addon
  • Firefox's HTTPSOnly mode

The site was hacked because Josh added a shitty insecure chat applet to the site which was otherwise totally secure.

It was an XSS exploit that allowed session stealing. This means that the attacker was able to log in as other users and potentially reset passwords. The attacker ATTEMPTED to download a list of username/email/IP/password-hash of all users but it failed with an error instead.

This means that at worst the attacker may have reset some users' passwords. But the site will be restored to an earlier backup before those resets. So the attacker basically accomplished nothing. And everyone just needs to re-log in after the site comes back up.

Despite all the FUD being spread by OP and Josh himself, the attacker did not get full passwords because sites don't typically store full passwords. Sites store hashes based on the passwords. At worst the attacker has hashes, emails, and ip addresses. But probably not even that because as Josh has stated the download failed.

As a registered member of antifa, I can confirm that we work with all of the government agencies listed above. I was personally involved in staging multiple “clintonings”, and all where highly successful. However, you got one thing wrong. I am not paid by the globalists/internationalists. I am paid by you. Take your fucking meds.

I don't really get why anyone would pay for consoles past PS2/NGC. Xbox has been shit since forever. PC gaming isn't any better either.

Personally, all I am doing is classic gaming and romhacks of classic games.

I cannot justify spending any money on games or Xbox game pass scenarios these days. All of that falls under "disposable income" and I have hardly any of that due to socio-political factors outside my control. Hence, my opinion is it is a waste of money and you are getting a negative experience because it is a waste of money.

However, when I used to have disposable income due to socio-political factors again not under my control, and I did game, and did get on networks like Xbox, there was always a division between people who gamed for the love of gaming versus people who gamed to try to impress people or else somehow made money off of gaming. Most modern gaming has gotten entirely away from gaming for the love/fun of gaming and gotten into franchising and "being the best" and a bunch of other shit that really was never exactly the core of gaming other than maybe getting the "high score" or something.

So, the joy is all "Drained out of it" and that's partly due to money, and so I'd say probably that is why you are feeling pissed off about the experience.

It's been a long time since I used anything Redhat maybe around 5.2. Alma I was using on a server, but I vaguely remember it had some issue detecting the RAID so I switched over to Mageia linux and it did quite well. I am trying to get myself more comfortable with Nix as I think that is the direction things ought to go, but I really haven't had much time to fool around with it lately.

I'm using Alma 8.x on about a dozen production servers now, where a RHEL based OS was required or because the software or stack doesn't play well or isn't supported with recent Debian or Ubuntu flavors. I like Alma, though. Seems to have a great community behind it. The only other RHEL based distro I use would be CloudLinux, but it's a commercial OS and sort of niche.

I've used alma in the past, and rocky went out on a limb the other day and said what happened to centOS won't happen to us. Usually, when someone says that, it is because the same shit is LIKELY to happen, so I haven't used it yet.
