Reply to What service would you like to see on I2P network? by XANA

Something that would make me hop onto i2p every day

  • news aggregator
  • a weather site with forecasts etc.
  • something similar to archive.org (there's eanlib i guess, but it's still nowwhere near that)
  • online cookbook (maybe a mirror of based.cooking?) etc.

Just some ordinary sites, but with no ads, granted anonymity and a nice web 2.0 design that is prevalent around here, i would choose it over the clearnet alternatives in a heartbeat

Also thanks to whoever made query.i2p, if that didn't happen it would also end up on this list

No, it’s an argument he stole from white men the 1860s who found Ceres, called it a new planet, but then subsequently found Vesta, Pallas, and the rest of the asteroid belt and then had to come up with a new designation for them because no one wanted fifty thousand planets.

If we find a Mars-sized object outside the Kuiper Cliff (or actually find Planet Nine finally), that will be a planet. Still, the IAU’s definition is bullshit.

That's the argument the nigger who cosplayed Sagan used to promote his planetarium. He was also shilling climate change hoax, so I wouldn't be surprised if Pluto become planet again some time in the future.

The reason it's not a planet anymore is because if it was, uncountable other rocks would be planets, too and instead of eight planets in our system, we'd have hundreds.

That being said, I would find it pleasing if we did just that and then had hundreds of planets.

We're back up, again. Similar thing. Planned maintenance followed by me needing to be around to unlock the disks so that site is reachable. Full Disk Encryption is a blessing and a curse.

Reply to ramble.i2p seems a way slower than other sites in i2p by tranquility

Let me know if the issue persists. The I2P site should be near clearnet speeds. It's a 0-hop tunnel since it's using the same clearnet server for the I2P site. I don't need to additional tunnel lengths to keep the site's origin anonymous since there is a public, clearnet version already available. So your I2P traffic to the site shouldn't be routed all over the network before being able to access the site. Should be pretty direct / fast.

Reply to comment by ngmm in People give the Japanese a hard time for pronouncing 'l' like 'r', but they never reflect on the pronunciation of "Colonel" (spoiler, it's Cornel) by Wahaha

All languages have some shenanigans like that, but I think English is one of the few that can't decide how letters are supposed to be pronounced. Alternative meaning of the same word, like the bank to sit and the bank to put money in are one thing, but this is way worse: https://ramble.pw/f/funny/2809/the-worst-alphabet-book-ever

For Asian characters it is the norm to have many ways to read them and even different meanings depending on context, but then this happens in English, too. A whole lot, it seems: http://www.english-for-students.com/Heteronyms.html

Heh, good point. But to be fair, the Japanese writing system also has its fair share of weirdness with the seemingly random readings of Kanji based on context, so things like this are possible... honestly, both languages have awful writing systems that often hardly reflect the actual pronunciation of words.
