Really? It's not as annoying as recaptcha or hcaptcha imo.

Reply to Voat.co shutting down by Rambler
At least notabug and dread are still alive. And ramble, but i don't think it's the same as the others. It's not as bad as reddit though.

Nice, looks like it's worth a review.

That's awesome. Thanks so much. It's a wonder that Bote works on mobile but disappointing that it no longer works on the desktop.
I've replied to your message.

Matrix is worth a look for sure.
But definitely check out Briar. https://briarproject.org/
Android only..
Briar is a powerful messaging tool with a brilliant design that runs over Tor only. Development is slow but ongoing and active. Briar is totally metadata resistant.
Currently Briar lacks the ability to make calls, transfer files etc so it is not feature rich. But all these things are under development.
But for basic totally secure messaging Briar is the Champ. Contact sharing is by mutual agreement and does not use address books, phone numbers etc so Briar is totally anonymous and of course fully encrypted.
Do check it it.

No problem. I added an edit and I believe you responded before I finished typing out the rest of my reply.

Reply to Account Whitelisting by Fish
I have the ability to exclude image uploads and the creation of new forums to only whitelisted members.
But everyone has that ability to create forums or upload pictures as of now since it's not been abused.
I could also have the wiki modifiable by either everyone, whitelisted members, or admin(s) (me). Right now only I can edit wiki pages.
Furthermore: Whitelisting will allow a user to bypass IP bans and some flood protections. Additionally, their IP addresses will no longer be stored. But if you're accessing the website via the Tor onion service, your IP shows the same as everyone else on the site accessing it via the Tor onion service. If you access the site via the LokiNet SNApp, it's basically the same. It's the same IP address shown for everyone using it. If you use the I2P site, it's the same IP regardless if it's me or you signed in. Because of that, those networks don't have flood limits now so it's like being whitelisted. Using Tor on the clearnet site will just be the IP of the exit-node obviously and the clearnet site by itself would be your identifiable IP unless behind a vpn. Those logs aren't kept anyway but I still encourage the use and support of any other network.

Reply to ELI5, how does Ramble work simultaneously on all these different platforms? by TheMadCodger
Tor, Yggdrasil, Loki and clearnet all play well together. The I2P service is off-server but could be on it, I suppose. But I just run a separate I2P router with the HTTP tunnel to the server that serves the clearnet, TOR, Loki and Yggdrasil sites.
Then it's just creating a config file for the webserver for each specific domain the site is accessible from and having it use the same document root.
I touched base on this briefly yesterday when answering a question about the warrant canary.
More people should do it. To push more content to any/all networks that they can in an effort to preserve privacy and to give big-tech the middle finger.

dreads captcha has to be my least favourite. It’s creative but very very annoying.

I tried it a few times and was disappointed. I was trying to create future addresses, export them and get the message later. Paste bin! Even under the best circumstances did not work for me. I use PyBitmessage, Retroshare, and other you did not hear about anyway (DaveMail).

Reply to comment by self in How does a captcha prevent a DDOS attack? by MrBlack
Oh okay I guess that makes a bit more sense. I always thought a DDOS attack had to have a specific port or webpage as a target. But I don't know how one would be sent through the tor network and I dont even really know how they're sent through the regular internet other than it's just a bunch of requests from different locations.

Reply to How does a captcha prevent a DDOS attack? by MrBlack
From my understanding, the CAPTCHA is a very low intensity operation that barely takes any server load, while logging in ot registration or making purchases or even browsing like a script would do repeatedly to complete a DDoS attack. Having a CAPTCHA effectively prevents scripts from doing these high intensity operations multiple times per second.
For clear web sites this is an awful approach, but since you can’t really block IPs on Tor, it’s the best and most effective tool market owners have.

Doesn't pretty much everything exist at this point already? I don't need any special top level domain.
Yeah, but unfortunately many names you want is taken. That's why the clearnet version of this site is ramble.pw, because it was available, and all the 'normal' TLDs were taken.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains
Most common word domains get squatted anyway. I've flipped many a domain in my time, and usually would just buy up things specific to a particular industry and then do nothing for a year or two then list them for sale. Buy a .com for $12, renew it once, got $24 tied into it total and then sell it for a few hundred to someone who will either actually use it or sit on it longer and re-sell it a year or two later for more.
Though my domain portfolio is empty nowadays, but when 'cloud' was the new buzzword for anything related to computing and hosting, boy did I make some extra coin.
