Reply to comment by Wahaha in Creating Your Own Digital Fortress of Solitude by HMTg927
It's very much about being comfortable offline. But the last two sections, "Surfing the Entire Internet with Your Digital Fortress" and "Using Your Digital Fortress to Communicate with Others", are about using alternative networks, and are short, easy reads (although they link to the author's other pages on the topics).

He's a good guy. He's just pro free speech and pro making money. He doesn't even know or particularly care what QAnon is. He supports all kinds of websites that have dealt with censorship issues. 8kun, 8chan, The Daily Stormer

I tried but didn't make much progress reading this article. Possibly because the background color hurts my eyes. Or maybe because of the poor structure that suspiciously looks like a few walls of text glued together.
What I gathered was that the grand name is just describing a computer that isn't plugged into the Internet? But then I didn't figure out the why's and how's. Maybe someone can fill me in.

“we are one foot away from 1984.” After a moment, though, he offers a sizable qualifier: “I never actually read the book, so I don’t know all the themes of the book."
What a dumb fuck. If you read you'll see that murrica stepped over it in the mid 70, and now is way beyond. At least for party it was all about power, not about raping children, mass murdering people and burning down villages on the other end of the globe or worshiping satan.

Did you expect corporate cocksuckers to be moral? This is what I meant by blood money - butchering people for organs only possible with the technology they created and given to the butchers. https://tube.incognet.io/watch?v=bvYvIK7bBV8

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.

Reply to Humanetech Community: Basically a giant list of helpful apps and websites, many of them privacy or freedom related by onion
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)
Wingless wrote
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.)

Reply to Btrfs Will Finally "Strongly Discourage" You When Creating RAID5 / RAID6 Arrays - Phoronix by Rambler
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.

Yet another impressive M1 statistic, LPDDR4x-4267 ram and low power too. 1 thousand gigaflops in a browser. This new Apple chip technology cheats by eliminating all discrete parts, including ram control, support chips, etc by smartypants
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.

Reply to comment by Rambler in I want a Computer that I Own by HMTg927
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:

Reply to This is Why I no Longer Frequent Reddit by HMTg927
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.
