What are you using default i2p?
You should be able to put the address in and then it should redirect you to a jump service and then you should have the address in your address book.

A wiki is collaborative with a lot of links and version control, that's what defines it. Without the collaboration part it's not longer a wiki, it's just a blog with version control. It's not even clear you have version control either.

I'm assuming they are using off-the-shelf radio equipment.

Is it easy to jam their signal with portable equipment?

How hard/expensive is it to build a DIY radio jammer?

Would it be more effective to have a directional antenna to avoid jamming everything in the area and concentrate on one area, or it doesn't work that way?

Hello people. I'm looking for an instant messenger which satisfies most of those needs:

Anonymous, private & secure [decentralised, encrypted & safe] (Hard necessary)

Audio & video calls [configure volume, deafen, mute, select camera/screen/window & support for group chats] (If there is an app which satisfies most other needs but does not have audio/video, I might do fine just using Jitsi instead, so it's mid-necessary.)

Clean, fast, professional, responsive & smooth design (Can also go with terminal)

Cross-platform [android, linux & windows] (Hard necessary)

File transfer [no limits] (Hard necessary)

Free & open source (Hard necessary)

Group chats [customisation & moderation] (Hard necessary)

Bumping for interest as I'm looking at getting off of Signal.
Signal, on paper, seems to be the best, but it has this retarded bug on some Android forks where, on data, the app checks for push notifications too often or just inefficiently and that leads to a noticeable battery drain.

WhatsApp, Messenger and Telegram glow, and I'm not paying for Threema. You're a chat app, know your place, lmao.

Thanks to this thread I looked into Tox, it seems interesting and they addressed the issue mentioned by >>12820
but they admit it's still very experimental and hasn't been audited, so for now I'll pass.

I'm back. Trying SimpleX made clear that the battery drain I was seeing was an Android issue, not a Signal issue.

At some point my dumbass disabled microG cloud messaging registration, so apps weren't using it. That's the fix for that and, as such, I'm staying on Signal.

I guess I still recommend SimpleX as well. I did like it.

I found this abandoned repository https://gitgud.io/parley/Haruko.
It's imageboard software that's not that old but still works. This is what it looked like: https://archive.is/qiLyz.
and I would like your help in updating it. It would be a project for “new” imageboard software made with PHP because, from what I've seen, there aren't many like this left, so I created this repository: https://github.com/bigdustycheese/AobaIB which I will update and you will also help me with.

>>Why should we help you with this? What do I get in return, OP?

It's simply a collaborative fork. If you want to help me, that's fine. No one is forcing you.

(If you see this on other imageboards, it's not spam.)

So apparently Palemoon became the first browser to officially implemented JPEG XL a week ago. At the same time, Google just dropped it from Chromium despite supporting it behind a flag for months. What the hell is going on here? Is Google that desperate to push their video-codecs-as-image-formats that they're willing to sabotage a massive step forward for the web? JPEG XL is capable of replacing both original JPEG, PNG, and animated GIF/PNG all at once with a single file type that produces superior file sizes for all three categories of use cases. Neither WebP, HEIC, nor AVIF were ever able to make such a broad, sweeping improvement because they are geared more towards features important to video encoding than still images or lossless animation.

It seems like every few weeks these days I find something new to get mad about in the world of web development.

[citation needed]

On the contrary, they recommend Webbrowser aka WereFox.
And the Palemoon website blocks Tor users so fuck them.

FYI you can use Tor Browser without tor:
network.proxy.type 0
network.proxy.socks_remote_dns false
extensions.torlauncher.start_tor false
TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH=1 TOR_TRANSPROXY=1 ./start-tor...

You're welcome.

For some reason those settings change back to default when I restart the browser, it's seriously about fucking time that someone who isn't evil or an idiot creates a web browser.
Or to ditch the concept entirely and create usable P2P software for content and thought sharing.

Looks like Google could no longer resist the pressure and has been forced to bring JXL back to Chrome:

So it seems that after decades of neglect and sabotage by the cuclear weapons industry, China has successfully built a fully functional molten salt thorium reactor and is preparing to revolutionize global shipping by sticking it in cargo ships.

They've even appl the supercritical CO2 generator idea that was a nascent engineering concept by Western thorium power advocates. This could have applications even beyond nuclear power generation.

Google wants to put DRM into the web, and lock everything into their chrome browser and make privacy violations even worse.

I think this is part of bigG's war on addblocking and of course they're a monopoly that wants to be the entire web. But there is more, web-advertising has been sort of dying a slow death for some time now. Not because of addblock but for other reasons. Neo-liberalism/capitalism is making people poor and that's shrinking the economic pie in general. If people see adds they ignore them more often. And there is of course the scheme for generating fake views for add-farming.

The drm googl wants to insert into the web is super terrible, if they can push this through it will destroy the web. There is no hyperbole here, the web will become like one of those locked down alternate versions of the internet from the 80s that failed so hard that barely anybody remembers that they even existed. It's possible that EU regulations against anti-competitive behavior, and monopoly-busting in the US could cock-block google, but it would be better to fight tooth and nail to kill this one in the crib, before it gets anywhere near that point. And then outlaw DRM for violating personal property (if you can't fully control your gadgets you've been expropriated)

If this monstrosity were to happen, it would probably take over 10 years to polish one of those decentralized peer to peer alternative web-protocols to the point where we get something like an open web back.

Hardware Restrictions Management? Physical Restrictions Management?

We should really get out ahead of the IP lawyers and come up with a good name that sticks and describes the injustice unambiguously, before they try to invent their own twisted Orwellian terminology to make the practice seem innocuous. Perhaps something that references rent, since these techniques are used to control what someone can do with their own property.

Hm, this is kinda difficult to name:
Hardware based property infringement
Hostile hardware environment
Imprisoned hardware
Tainted hardware

>Perhaps something that references rent
This is even harder, perhaps:
Tollbooth hardware

Technically this would stop it from being a full Von-Neumann machine. So maybe it could be called
compute-incomplete hardware

It's interesting how the leftist brain works. You associate thing with "bad" people and that somehow makes the thing bad. Hitler was a big fan of consuming water and oxygen by the way, might want to stop consuming those bad things yourself comrade.

>>12464
>Does not exist. You mean "hardware-based restrictions", "locks", "copy protection", etc.
He obviously means hardware that prevents you breaking DRM like secure enclaves and efuses. Taking the most uncharitable interpretation of somebody's words and pretending that's what they really meant is such a slimy tactic.

That's a decent video. I think he oversells it abit though, if the firmware is burned into ROM or cryptographically verified before execution then power glitching will not open up a permanent solution to anything.

The other thing to consider is that some middle class NPC who takes out a $100,000 loan to buy a Tesla is not going to risk his warranty to save $1000 on a DRM locked feature. And if the globalist billionaire class get their way then all cars will be $100,000 EVs that few people can afford to drive and even fewer people can afford to monkey with.

Not really, i think DRM is shit because on a technical level it's basically the same as malware, that fucks up your system. I know that it's intellectual dishonest and pure opportunism to link DRM to Scientology's cringe, but this is how DRM shills argue, and this presents an opportunity to throw some crazy shit back at them.

>if the firmware is burned into ROM or cryptographically verified before execution then power glitching will not open up a permanent solution to anything.
A special chip that works like a walled castle, which will definitely keep out the undesirables is a really old sales pitch, including all the invulnerability claims of this time we build the wall high enough. Don't count on it. In the long run people will probably move towards re-chipping with open chips that aren't locked down.

>And if the globalist billionaire class get their way then all cars will be $100,000 EVs that few people can afford to drive
Well if most people can't afford cars, we'll only need bus-lanes and bicycle lanes.
