Thanks man!

Sure is! Go here

click on the forums tab at the top and on the top right it says create forum simple as that you do need a account

Holy hell, I haven't seen or heard of Oink and What.cd in a long time. I remember when an old room mate invited me to those.

Man, I sure do miss Napster, Kazaa, Limewire, Morpheus, etc. I used to have a pretty large music collection at one point. Though now I enjoy listening to some of my favorites on vinyl. We need a music forum, stat.

Can I ask how? I'm looking to make one myself

Is it possible for me to create my own sub?

Totally, I started out using Kazaa Lite and Morpheus. We had a nice amount of bandwidth for the Era at home, something like 8mbps. Then I started torrenting a bit later on suprnova.org. Now most people's experience on the internet is seeing posts from people they've known their entire life. It's narrowing, most of the culture i've learned about was from interacting with Europeans on IRC from Oink.me.uk and What.cd.

Hello! Glad to see a lot of I2P folk here. Already one member said they had never heard about it, and were going to look into it. Hoping this website encourages people to look into and support these various networks.

Hello from the I2P network =)

About 1 hour since last PC restart. Cause I do not run it 24/7 cause it's my desktop :D

Darn. How long has your I2P router been running? Is it well integrated right now?

Woo, thank you! And enjoy. :)

Sadly website is not to stable cause sometimes it won't let me connect to website.

Accessing the tor version. An awesome project Rambler!!

Welcome, and you make some good points.

Social media is a cancer. The prime internet, to me, was the mid 90's to early 00's. That was a time when file sharing was becoming mainstream, the internet was in more and more people's homes and more people were connected on IRC, chatrooms, and standalone message forums. You almost never knew or cared what the name of the person was you were interacting with, because everyone was behind a handle. If they shared an image for a profile picture (for example) it was almost always a movie, TV or cartoon character.

It was a simpler time in the digital age. A better time.

Right back at'cha.

Awesome!

I agree, it's very basic. Though it does work as intended for now.

Good question.

By design, not much is collected. What did you supply when signing up? A username and a password is what most people supply.

For those who value privacy, I would imagine they use a different username/password combination for each website, it's not a bad idea, and good OpSec practices are beneficial to everyone. :)

But you asked how things are stored and protected. Information (posts, comments, username/pass) are stored in a PostgreSQL database. Passwords are hashed using the bcrypt algorithm. IP logs are minimal and temporary, not that they'd offer much in terms of identification of users due to the options allowed (and encouraged) of connecting and interacting with the website. Since most people are using anonymity networks to access this website I think, there address of origin is ever changing.

Saying hello from I2P network :)

It's running the open sourced Postmill application, which is written in php and on the Symfony framework. The open sourced code can be found here: https://gitlab.com/postmill/Postmill

I'm using clearnet because I CBA to use tor most of the time. With that said, I think OPSEC should be taken more seriously in general. Somewhat related but irrelevant story time. Last night me and my GF were watching true crime documentaries on youtube. Specifically one from That Chapter (great channel, highly suggest it) Jodi Arias was the subject. Now I knew a little about the story going in, but I was still watching. The video had crime scene photos that were blurred. Naturally out of morbid curiousity I had to look. First I tried liveleak, I couldnt' find anything, seems they removed all such content. tried google, haha yeah right. duckduckgo, nothing. I eventually found them but I had to go through blogspot. The point I'm tryng to get to here is that the internet is so very different from the late 90s when I started using it. You simply are not allowed to see certain things, I mean, obviously CP should be no bueno, and in some ways the morality of crime scene photos is debatable but irregressibile the internet is effectively ruined. There was a time that you could access information regardless of whether it was popular, the status quo, the story, or sadly even legal. IMHO we really need to convince our peers to get off of social media. It is a toxic, depressive environment that is overused, a time waster and makes the human expect a warped vision of reality, one that is full of glamour and happiness, a place that further rejects the reality of our collective mental state. Does it matter to anyone that China is using Uyghur Muslims as slaves for the manufacture of your new iPhone? I can't tell because soon enough that information will too be illegal. We're headed down an even darker path and most of it is because of our perverted view of what is taboo and what isn't, what can be talked about and what is simply inappropriate.

TLDR: i use clearnet, and i hate that basic privacy is not afforded online.

Need music forums

As someone who has music going almost every waking moment... I encourage you to make a music forum. :)

https://ramble.pw/create_forum I'll be your first subscriber.

The private messaging between users is not encrypted. As for anything serious, I would suggest XMPP/Jabber OTR or messaging using PGP with the keys supplied by both parties. I would love to have that feature built in but it's not a stock feature.

I agree you can directly contact mods about it if you look in the wiki.
