This is what the type of people who left Twitter want, though. They want a circle-jerk where everyone says the same things and no one deviates from the talking points that they've deemed acceptable.

I don't agree with it, but it's what these people wanted.

Cloud storage tends to kill this :(

Wordpress should not be used by anyone.

(as someone admittedly not familiar with Russian politics) I agree his days are likely numbered.

To save face, if nothing else.

No doubt. They want to monetize everything everyone does.

This is really a problem.

More so, this is why we need to continue to support networks like I2P that enable a person to do things with privacy.

An attack on Nitter..

We are seeing the same form of attack: Reddit API limits, Twitter rate limits - breaking Nitter & now Inividious also has legal letter from YT.

An attack on private searching (to enhance tracking?)

With most of the soldiers in the war zone, around 10,000 reservists protecting the capital, and very little resistance to the Wagner convoy en route to Moscow, Prigozhin could have made things very ugly for Putin, though it's unlikely he would have captured Moscow for very long, and more than likely that his forces would ultimately have been annihilated.

The more interesting question is why Putin decided to grant him and his forces amnesty. Some suggest Prigozhin retains significant kompromat on Putin and the ruling elite, others suggest that the hero status of Wagner, portrayed in the Russian media until recently, kept him safe.

Whatever the reason for the stay of execution, Prigozhin's days are likely numbered. When he's been totally erased from the collective consciousness of mother Russia, he may just receive a visit from Mr. Novichok or Dr. Polonium.

"new transparency and oversight constraints, together with the growth of encrypted technology, have tilted the balance towards privacy."

Sounds a bit idealistic.

We all should have the basic dignity that is the right to privacy in our homes and personally owned devices (at a minimum).

I 2nd that. I really dig mail.i2p (as a recent set up).

No issues here with delays (proton - plays fine with it).

Upgrading right now!

Human autonomy / privacy isn't a threat to anyone... unless that person / power has a thing for totalitarianism. 🙄

Personal belief: strategic false flag. I feel it highly unlikely they truly ever planned to "take over Russia". That is most laughable to hear some people believe this - if I'm wrong, howso? I'd like to know what others think.

IMO Putin likely wanted to move his chess pieces into position, while creating confusion.

Absolutely vital to stand up for publishers of journalism: precedents like this only put dedicated journalists in fear.

An honest media would stand up for whistleblowers, publishers.

Which part of "it should be considered defunct, there are no active developers" don't you understand? It's dead, Jim!

i2pbote should be considered defunct. No active developers and a huge chunk of less than ideal legacy code.

The fact that there is a problem with the site is quite obvious. I have seen some recent changes from the team in their forks. It looks like the project has some kind of support. Why don't they merge them into the main repository? Perhaps this activity will revive the community.

So what about this point?

In my (limited) experience using i2pmail.org as a clearnet relay, I find that an expected email may not hit my @mail.i2p inbox until some hours later. I'm not certain if this delay is caused from the clearnet to I2P path or within the I2P network itself.

Still a very suitable and beneficial service, of course. But something to consider for time sensitive emails, as using that email address for something you may need a password reset on or email based auth-code that expires after XX minutes, you may find yourself in between a rock and a hard place.

EDIT: Disregard the above about it not being suitable for time-senstive emails. I just did a test, and received my clearnet email to my I2P inbox in about 5 minutes. In the past, it had taken hours, but in hindsight, the webmail inbox may have been cached or it could have just been a one-off fluke. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯?

Note that some mail servers or services may not play nice with i2pmail.org.

Can you tell me more about this point? Or where I can read about it?

It's really hit and miss, no golden rule. For the most part, things work fine, though if a service or remote mail server has i2pmail.org in their blacklist, then you might experience issues. Some services appear to treat i2pmail.org as they would a throwaway e-mail host.

It did not work last time I tried it. Maybe next one or in the next life.

You have the correct idea. Previously I used XFS. Shure for torrent storage I use loop with btrfs. For USB fat32... for old hardware and OS'es. I forgot what Hammer (Dragon Fly bsd) is used for or if I ever use it (I gave up on DragonFly because of ransom crap attention). Just make sure you have hardware disk encryption (all motherboard manufacturers have it but don't give it with default BIOS) to prevent watermarking.

I knew it! Digital masochists are embedded in this network. I was Fed-up for a decade and when the typewriter shills took over, I knew they will backdoor the crap out of Red Hat. Silver Blue rawhide was my last use around 2018 before I considered Red Hat used toilet paper.

mail.i2p works very well. I've used it for years to communicate with people in and out of the network.

Note that some mail servers or services may not play nice with i2pmail.org.

Yes, it's alive and apparently in active development.

I'll take note. I was just confused by the emptiness on the forum.

Do not quite understand.

Is federation with other email servers inside I2P via SMTP is possible?
Or is it just a gateway to clearnet with clearnet federation?

In any case, this does not cancel the fact - monopoly of the service without alternative.

UPD: This is not a stone in your direction, rather a regret that there are no other similar services.

mail.i2p - it seems that the project does not respond to other servers via SMTP.

Internally, @mail.i2p is used, externally, @i2pmail.org. So when supplying an e-mail address for a clearnet service, use you@i2pmail.org as the reply address. Note that some mail servers or services may not play nice with i2pmail.org.

bote.i2p looks like it hasn't been updated for long time.

i2pbote should be considered defunct. No active developers and a huge chunk of less than ideal legacy code.

Is purplebote.i2p alive?

Yes, it's alive and apparently in active development. See: https://github.com/PurpleBote/pboted and/or jump on the I2P IRC network and have a chat with polistern, the lead developer.

mail.i2p relays mail TO and FROM the internet as well. Check hq.postman.i2p for more information on this feature.
