This is much cleaner, thanks!

Hi. I2P rulez, ya.

Can anybody tell my what's wrong with exit.stormycloud.i2p outproxy last week? Can not open many sites, unsable connection...

it's good to hear newcumers experience bc it exposes these sorts of weaknesses. i have some guides available that need to be reworked/organized anyway, would appreciate input or like topics you think important that's lacking http://simp.i2p/i2p-guide. didn't have one on eepsites since there's more than a few floating around. the "chat" tab will also let you ask questions on #i2p, which is the support channel for i2p (links to IRC2P) without JS or a proper IRC client setup.

little late but glad you got it figured out, i've made that same mistake lol

I'm also pretty new to this I2P and invisible network thing but this place seems a lot more fun than tor. Every time I think of tor I think CP rings and drugs, but this place just makes me think of pre-2010 and IRC and shit. I even tried making my own eepsite with Blazor and tried making it look like it came straight out of 2000. Seems a lot more straightforward and simple on the frontend for setting up invisible services (just set up a tunnel and a port and now you have a unique link to use) but it takes a lot of dedication to keep maintained because the router also acts like a tor node.

I bet you'll see similar laws in other nations before the decade is over. How long till using a VPN or having tor/i2p/freenet type tools is criminal?

Thank you kindly :)

Welcome. :)

sorry about that. It's not hosted 24/7.

Can starlink be used to track (specific) users? I think users in the empty oceans will stick out. The position of the satellite around the globe is known to them, and the data streams can be observed as well, can't they?

Linus Torwalds is the projects "Benevolent Dictator for Live" BDfL. In the end he makes the final call I guess.

Here's an idea. Use an LLM, provide some general (fictional) details for the type of character you'd like to name, see what it churns out, and then pick one.

Here's an example response for the prompt "Please provide 20 imaginary aliases (nicknames) for a character that is interested in cryptography, anonymity and Mongolian culture."

 Cipher Khan
 Silent Steppe
 The Nomad Cipher
 Ghost of Genghis
 Code Rider
 Veiled Steppes
 Mongrel (Mongolia + Cipher)
 Shadow Hoard
 The Enigma Nomad
 White Horse Code
 Masked Mara
 Sky Whisperer
 Crypto Eagle
 Stealth Kurgan
 The Hidden Horde
 Tengri Key
 Cloak and Steppe
 GenghiCrypt
 Nomad Lock
 Windborne Cipher

That sounds about right.

I also use PAC Proxy method with this config. I deleted all of my whitelisted domains from the config.

function isYggdrasilIPv6(host) {
 host = host.replace(/^\[|\]$/g, "");
 var parts = host.split(":");
 if (parts.length < 2) return false;
 var first16 = parseInt(parts[0], 16);
 return first16 >= 0x200 && first16 <= 0x3FF;
}

function FindProxyForURL(url, host) {
 if (isYggdrasilIPv6(host)) {
 return "DIRECT";
 }

 if (dnsDomainIs(host, ".i2p")) {
 return "SOCKS5 192.168.1.X:4447";
 }

 if (dnsDomainIs(host, ".onion")) {
 return "SOCKS5 192.168.1.X:9050";
 }

 var whitelist = [
 ""
 ];

 for (var i = 0; i < whitelist.length; i++) {
 var domain = whitelist[i];
 if (host === domain || host.endsWith("." + domain)) {
 return "DIRECT";
 }
 }

 return "SOCKS5 192.168.1.X:9050";
}

It seems it's still maintained as the last commit was only 2 months ago

I haven't tried IPFS over I2P, but it seems doable?

Most people still just use BitTorrent I think

I personally use a PAC proxy with regular Firefox to automatically switch between I2P for .i2p domains and Tor for everything else (including .onions)

function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
 if(host.match(/^(localhost|127[.]0[.]0[.]1|192[.]168[.]1[.]1)$/))
 return 'DIRECT';
 
 if (host.match(/[.]i2p$/))
 return 'HTTP 127.0.0.1:4444';

 return 'SOCKS5 127.0.0.1:9050';
}

is already available.

6.16 might not have been made available for Arch Linux yet, but it will definitely have been made available in the Arch Linux-based CachyOS.

i believe similar laws are introduced only because the current parents are unable to limit their kids computer access. similar laws weren't needed in 90s because everyone's parent taken good care of their kids and limited how much screen time they had. Of Course there are some people who didn't have such parents but everywhere are exceptions. Just since parents don't have time to take care of their kids they just given up on actually parenting then politicians use similar laws as trojan horse to more censorship

heres the circle: corporations want more money so they raise the cost of their products(houses etc...) -> people want to buy such products but dont have enough money for it -> start working in multiple jobs -> not enough time to parent&raise kids -> politicians make laws that censor internet so kids stay safe(in theory) -> leads to censorship, abuse of power, then banning critics -> less regulation for companies passes because people dont know actual the truth -> more money for corporations -> time for another circle?

One thing that I would like to note is that the government(s) is largely content to watch unlawful behavior and do nothing. The law enforcement in one place I used to live used (likely and/or certainly) stingrays (probably) and radars (certainly) to watch people inside their homes. There were plenty of people they could have gone after for various offenses ranging from speeding to drug manufacture, but they rarely used their surveillance capabilities to do anything about those crimes.

In the US, the federal agencies have required the serialization of firearms, the registration of certain firearms, and also keep track of people's credit card purchase history of create a de-facto registry based on what bullets people buy. They would be hard pressed to do anything about firearm ownership in general in that part of the world, but they are keen on tracking what people have to make selective confiscation easier. They may not "come for your guns" unless you give them a reason, such as using medical marijuana or having PTSD. This would allow easing toward a Europe-style government control of all firearms and the death of any guarantee of freedom.

The age verification law in the UK is likely for the purpose of identifying opposition and using zersetzung-style tactics to cracking down on those who oppose them. http://wikiless.i2p/wiki/zersetzung?lang=en In the past they have been content to simply imprison those who organize the opposition.

These laws have nothing to do with protecting children.

It is 100% only about censorship and controlling what every person in a country can say online.

These laws need to be repealed and fought against by every human on earth, or there will be no country worth living in.

Just keep trying to get friends and family to leave an I2p router running on their computer.

Then as long as people have a router running you can have them open the browser you set up for them for i2p, and use things like this forum, or making some websites for each other, or using the messengers here.

the online forum is very small and no one will probably read it

It's a shame, I'm new to i2p but it seems to me that this is the ideal internet with top-level anonymity lol.

Do they bother you that much lol?

if anything, excuse my English, I'm not a native speaker
