That has nothing to do with "mining". It's like saying that monks saying vespers are "mining cryptocurrency" if you offer to give the Pope a bitcoin.

It does have everything to do with setting up a rival religion to eclipse the Pope, one which actually MEASURES its worshippers' devotion. And every moment of doubt WILL be counted against them FOREVER.

I don't use the company presets for politics, so I'm as out of place in any forum as any other. But blocking Tor is pretty good evidence of villainy.

they shall pay for all their crimes, no matter how much they plead and appease

it's not funny

Basically a useless list of controlled opposition

a brain wave or body heat emitted from the user when the user performs the task provided by an information service provider, such as viewing an advertisement or using certain internet services, can be used in the mining process

Couple this with the wrist controller designed by Facebook. This way corporations will be able generate wealth in a more direct way than selling ad space or personal data. Funny that when they talk about an "information service provider" they refer to an ad company.

Raddle isn't pro privacy. They ban Tor exits, still using a v2 onion URL that you have to hunt to find and seems to try to discourage Tor use.

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, we're not going to talk about Raddle while saying it's good. (okay, you didn't really say it's good, but you're suggesting to me a bit) Not only Raddle is heavily leftist, it's also of the bad type, which is the “social justice warrior” type. So please, don't use it. Although, maybe I could add Ramble to the list if I write a comment or an e-mail. (I would complain about them using ProtonMail, but uhh, I use it too… that would make me a hypocrite)

Okay, here's an anomaly: I followed that link, got to the list of alternate forums ( https://cheapskatesguide.org/articles/forum-list.html ), checked to see if Ramble was on it ... got to a site that looks like this one, active forum, called Raddle. No listing for Ramble. There's probably a whole bunch of alt-universes through Tor ... is there a Razzle, Raggle, Raddle... ? Seems like there should be more crossovers.

And of course, LibreSSL is dead in Linux, so were all screwed, I guess.

(also, yes, LibreSSL also has security vulnerabilities, but way less than OpenSSL.)

no updates in arch linux yet but somehow it's already been patched in debian stable ... :^)

Yeah, right.. "mistake".

In so many ways btrfs isn't ready for prime time. If was stable, its benefits would be pretty strong. However, its code base is changing too rapidly and its ability to recover from problems is pretty poor. It tragic that several distributions changed to using btrfs by default.

I want to live in a world where a web browser has a permanently fixed timer in the corner of the screen. After that timer reaches zero, you need to either buy some vbucks to keep using the site or move on.

I have not been all that reliable at keeping abreast on the subject, but last time I checked, your ISP will not know you are using TOR if you go in via a VPN, as the trail deadends there. As for Musk, he's too busy playing Star Trek, and imagining himself Zefram Cochrane, than focus on anything more practical:

I don't think Reddit is broken by design, something which is apparent from the existence of [RAMBLE] (which uses basically the same general structure). I think the main issue is the general commercialization of the internet and the existence of the attention economy. Good article.

Good writeup. Reddit is and has been cancerous for a while.

OVH is very popular for cheap servers, hosting a lot of game servers and Tor nodes. Huge fire.

Leftist-libtards of a feather all flock together. FBI ain't gonna target their BFFs, especially now that commies and socialists control the government. Like the Stasi and KGB before them, their focus is squarely on the dissidents.

I see that as a good thing for the Aussies. Make them go 'cold turkey', break Zucky Zoidberg's addictive grip, and prune 25,499,884 from his ad-targeting base.

This is not the first time Cloudflare has done this stuff. I forget who was targeted previously (8chan? voat? Someone else?). The point being, who but a 'tard would trust them not to do the same crap again? If someone sucker punches you, are you really that stupid to let him move behind you ever again? Apparently yes.

Btw, I just found the part of the docs that explains how their cancel culture type views have influenced the protocol. You can publicly block someone, and that is announced to your peers. So for example, if a popular leftist scuttlebutt user publicly blocks someone saying it is because "he is a racist/sexist/homophobe/whatever", there would probably be peer pressure for others to publicly block the same person.

If someone is bothering you or saying things you don’t want to hear, you can block or ignore them from their profile page (in the Options button). This will hide their messages and comments from you. You can loudly block someone, or quietly ignore them. A block is public and everyone can see it. Blocking is a way to demonstrate community norms and alert your friends to someone they may also want to block. Sometimes it starts useful conversations. Ignoring quietly is a secret action that only you will know about. It hides the person from your view.

It could be pretty useful feature for the right as well though. If some user was posting child porn and a peer publicly blocked them for that reason, I would appreciate getting a heads up so I could block them as well. Same if leftists attempted a raid on right wing "pubs" and users. They could be blocked.

True, I was aware of the leftist leanings of the developers and much of the community.

Still, it appears that if conservatives and free speech supporters decided to connect to each other, there isn't much that the rest of the network could do. They could make sure they're not connected to us, so we would have less visibility from their part of the network, but they wouldn't be able to break up the existing connections between right wing users. One of the worst things about de-platforming for the right has been that people end up losing connections to each other when a platform gets taken down.

They are partially just relying on deterrence right now, as that PDF mentioned.

SSB has never advertised itself as a free-speech platform though it does have many of those qualities at a technical level. Additionally designers have Rebellious Data LLC & Emmi Bevensee ​| 15 purported that they pursue a range of aesthetic choices aimed at attracting or repelling certaintypes of users. For instance, clients and the official webpage often use pastel colors, on the homepage​ there is a cartoon about an inter-racial queer love story that explains how scuttlebutt works, and many clients have implemented content warnings. Interviews stated this was all intentional to turn-away hateful users.

All that said, privacy is generally more important for the right than the left because the left is allowed to get away with more. So a different project that is not so leftist and more focused on privacy may be a better choice for conservatives to migrate to.

From the pdf:

Those guided more by right-wing ideologies in the P2P space tend to focus more on things like crypto-currencies and extremely privacy focused free-speech tools, which are more ​likely​ to be abused by hate-groups whether that is the intention of the developers or not. There are powerful positive implications in both P2P privacy tools and crypto-currencies, however it is important to acknowledge this potential alongside their built-in affordances.Those focused more on social-justice influenced liberatory tech tend to focus more on P2P tech geared towards connecting people and try to build in more protections to protect abuse.
