Look into I2P.

Less centralization, (no hard-coded directory servers; because on I2P everyone is a directory server) more relays, (everyone is a relay by default) faster than Tor.

Downside: Less exit nodes. I2P is meant for communicating mostly within I2P, not outside. But this can be a good thing, because most of the attacks that the feds use to deanonymize tor users are based upon the user using exit nodes to talk to the regular internet.

I have had same issue after I upgraded Firefox ESR to version 102 from 91. No addons. HTTPS-Only Mode is disabled.

Edit: Somehow this issue was dissolved. And redirect to IP address url 23 . 137 . 250 . 250 occasionally on Firefox ESR 91 and 102 after RAMBLE site updated.

Yeah, I don't think Tor is the answer to this issue.

Agreed, however, from the same article you have it mentioned that a board member of Tor is also the CEO of the company that sells this data to the US Military / Government.

The Department of Defense Office of the Inspector General, which the whistleblower alleges referred their complaint to the Navy, told Motherboard it had received Wyden’s letter and was reviewing it. The Office of the Naval Inspector General declined to comment and directed Motherboard back to its Department of Defense counterpart.

Beyond his day job as CEO of Team Cymru, Rabbi Rob Thomas also sits on the board of the Tor Project, a privacy focused non-profit that maintains the Tor software. That software is what underpins the Tor anonymity network, a collection of thousands of volunteer-run servers that allow anyone to anonymously browse the internet.

“Just like Tor users, the developers, researchers, and founders who've made Tor possible are a diverse group of people. But all of the people who have been involved in Tor are united by a common belief: internet users should have private access to an uncensored web,” the Tor Project’s website reads.

When asked by Motherboard in April about Thomas’ position on the Tor Project board while also being the CEO of a company that sells a capability for attributing activity on the internet, Isabela Bagueros, executive director for the Tor Project, said in an email that “Rabbi Rob's potential conflicts of interest have been vetted according to the standard conflicts disclosure process required of all board members. Based on the board's understanding of Rabbi Rob's work with Team Cymru, the board has not identified any conflicts of interest.”

Its website is available on Tor Onion Service. Good.

More reasons to develop alternetworks that make this kind of thing more difficult.

I think I'm just going to use the domain as part of a mail relay project, now.

What ever happened to the OTR.cx plan?

I suspect the issue is more about what gets funded, and what doesn't. Then, not far behind "network effects".

I don't know what happened, but I didn't do anything and it works now. Thanks anyways.

Yep. I have logged in here after few months. Seems refreshing, probably a little more users rambling here. Excited for it

Interesting

I believe you Interdicted, but I have not been able to find anything that does more than give a vague sense that the government is orchestrating the death of Internet free speech from behind the scenes. Do you have any good references for exactly how they are doing it?

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.

That would probably qualify.

Like "Angry Goy 2"?

I think if they examine the relationship between game developers and "extremism" developed in certain games, they will discover that some gaming companies are more likely to produce games that correlate to this kind of activity.

Are we saying the kiwifarms site had crappy code or the media site or both? I'd say when your whole site is compromised with all user data there is enough "fault in the code" to go around.

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.

They've even managed to convince some people that lies and rape don't exist, but if they do exist they're good things.

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.

In other news, people who stand to make a lot of money from lies and rape are all about covering up the fact they are lying and raping.

Since Facebook is a terrible company, you'd think people by now would stop using the damn thing. No. We keep getting articles on how more terrible it is than we thought!
