It's pretty cool, but just make sure you upload your files through the browser via the drag/drop function and not direct to your server via FTP (they won't show up as uploads in MuWire).

I have crappy net so I don't really download or share anything but I've poked around and uploaded some ebooks about ham radio and building log cabins or something as a test.

I don't think it'll go anywhere. I don't think it can be proven that voter fraud took place. I'm not saying that I don't believe some did, I just don't think it can be proven. We shouldn't use electronic voting machines, we should use paper ballots and in-person voting with ID check like other countries for federal elections. And yeah I know that the concern was over paper ballots ( mail in ones ) but I'm more worried about the machines. Paper ballots are counted with a lot of accountability involved.

I just think both candidates really really sucked honestly.

Lol. It depends on the strain for me and how much. Honestly I smoke so much less now as an adult than I ever did as a teen. Even though I smoke daily it's a hit here or there throughout the day. That is key. You sit down and smoke an entire bowl you're fucked anyway. A puff here and there, perfect.

the notion that if you censor people they'll just stop existing is almost criminally ignorant, it actually ensures that their ideas remain as it doesn't change anyone's mind. quite the contrary, it reinforces that they are right and the censor is evil.

Exactly. Think about Milo Yanapahowever you spell his name. Banned on Twitter like 4 or 5 years ago. He made some jokes about feminists and trannies or something and they cancelled him. I always thought he was kind of annoying before but I bought his "Dangerous" book after that haha.

censorship is predicated on the belief that you can kill ideas.

you can only kill people, ideas are immortal.

Well, here is the conversation that got me banned: https://raddle.me/f/Postmill/123713/new-postmill-instance-ramble-pw

Postmill is the name of the software that this site uses, though it was created for that authoritarian site. Someone linked to this site, stating concern over our TOS. That forum is more or less the official forum for the software.

Luckily, I forked the software so we can continue private community development of it, as the license allows for, and we can push it as a platform for all. Not just the extreme-left.

I was trying to remember this, thanks! And about not using normal devices, it makes almost everything harder, but it's the price for having security :/ Kinda sucks, but i think it's worth it. I would like to know how to check if my username:password has been leaked, just in case, but for what I remember, never happened to me.

Ha! I'm the opposite. I tried cocaine a couple times many years ago and never really liked it. I liked weed more than I liked the feeling of cocaine. Never got into the pharm stuff either. Weed, shrooms, acid is about enough for me. Maybe once a year I'll do some molly or something but it's one of those things that finds me I never really look for it, lol.

Aliens of that knowledge wouldn't interfere with us.

Nobody knows what hypothetical aliens would or would not do. We have lived on closely with dogs for thousands of years, and we don't even know why they do some of the things they do. We can't make any kind of educated guess what a creature that evolved in a completely different environment would or would not do.

The reason we stuck with mtn for so long is that mtn checkouts are always resumable. You can get partial ones and pick up right where you left off. It was an incredibly important feature, and one that Git still does not implement for git clone. To do a successful checkout on the old crypto required checking out at --depth 1 and even then could take multiple attempts. Things are much better now, but it's still comparatively slow and inconvenient to check out a ~389mb repository over git than it was with mtn. But git is resumable once you have at least a shallow clone, and moreover git can produce a git bundle which is a file that works exactly like a git repository for the purposes of cloning. So what you do to turn the crisis(git non-resumability) into an opportunity(redundant copies of the whole damn repository history everywhere) is start is you start generating git bundles of i2p.i2p every once in a while, at regular intervals(I recommend the tenth of the month) and distributing them with bittorrent-over-I2P. That way, you can download a near-complete copy of the repository from many peers and spend a minute or two --unshallowing the result, rather than cloning to --depth 1 and repeatedly --unshallow until you have a complete repository.

There are actually even cooler things you can do if you apply some git-transport magic and a way of providing a single memorable alias to a series of infohashes, there are some systems that do this it's just a matter of porting their dependencies into the I2P network or replacing them.
