http://waycuw2c27ruakfblkf5tcegwmt3ot445dlfoypil6bzmm4yxg7a.b32.i2p/ The idea is that it will work as specified on the above site. You have the info there and maybe it does work. A Wikipedia page would be ideal. I wonder what school did the poster attend... it is too late for me.

Some explanations/screen-shots would be nice. If I somehow I spent days on it and I found it less desirable than expected, you would might bite your tongue. There is a great oportunity to create the Wikipedia page for BitChan if you have that much time on your hands. To many questions to ask...

Always a good day seeing a new I2P+ update <3

Good work!

Considering the goggles, I would say you were watching the eclipse or picked up welding. I'm going to look into the Snark thing next month. Until than it makes a great reseed along with the official (waiting for a brain transplant list) update. To understand that you cut your vacation short because the network is running great... don't worry is not your fault.

Thanks. I was wondering if I could use my i2p email as a burner address on clearnet or if the email is somehow connected to other i2p identities like torrenting. Like they all using the same public router address or something. Now I know that's not the case

Your i2pmail address isn't directly linkable to your torrents unless you happen to post torrents to trackers with your i2pmail e-mail address embedded in the tracker information. If your i2pmail address uses the same name as your postman account, then people may be able to guess your e-mail address from your postman account name.

Generally, as long as you keep your I2P identity separate from your clearnet identities, you should be fine. If you don't want to be identifiable as the same person on various services, use a separate identity for each service that requires a login.

Regarding seeding torrents, if you're the only person seeding a torrent, then a restart of your router will give you a new I2PSnark destination but may still reveal to the observant that your old destination and new destination correlate. On the other hand, if you're one of many seeds, it's difficult to correlate your previous I2PSnark destination with your new destination.

For extra peace of mind, you can configure I2PSnark to delay starting torrents for a longer period post-startup to make correlation even more difficult.

Ok where to put this

I used to file complains... now I get even.

thanks

Just posting a link to a site without any accompanying text is, more often than not, likely to get your post deleted. Please provide some context to your posts in future. (This thread will self-delete in 24 hours)

No questions really besides why it was deleted, It's a cool page!

Yes what question do you have about the graphs?

Trying to make a difference with one step at a time adds up over the years.

In the near future I plan to be writing more little toys like this. Then plan is to have a toys.notbob.i2p site with a list of useful things.

Here is code what what I have running. You can see an example of it running here http://5gn3ca4z4occksx2cnwbcrun2mum2eg2c7zgfi7k7fetruwzmdiq.b32.i2p/count.html

To use it, you need include code like the following.

<img src="http://5gn3ca4z4occksx2cnwbcrun2mum2eg2c7zgfi7k7fetruwzmdiq.b32.i2p/conter.cgi?page=123456789k&color=green" height=40>

Pick a number. That will be your site number. Or, you can use a new number for each html page. But, any page with the same number will increment that number's count.

As for the color. Use normal color names. They should work. No hex colors. If you do not specify a color then it will default to black text. The background will be transparent.

Anyone is welcome to use this freely. Enjoy!

#!/usr/bin/perl

# code by notbob.i2p

use warnings;
use Fcntl ':flock'; # Import LOCK_* constants
use Time::HiRes qw(usleep); # For sub-second sleeping
use CGI qw/:standard/;

$site = param("site");
$site =~ s/\D//g;

$color = param("color");

$color = lc($color);
$color =~ s/[^a-z]//g;

if ( $color eq "" ) { $color = "black"; }

print("Content-type: image/svg+xml\n\n");

# File to store the page counter
my $counterFile = "/comhtml/5gn3ca4z4occksx2cnwbcrun2mum2eg2c7zgfi7k7fetruwzmdiq.b32.i2p/counter/$site.txt";

# Function to read the current counter value
sub read_counter {
 my ($filename) = @_;
 open(my $fh, '<', $filename) or die "Cannot open file $filename: $!";
 flock($fh, LOCK_SH); # Shared lock for reading
 my $counter = <$fh>;
 chomp($counter);
 close($fh);
 return $counter;
}

# Function to increment and save the counter
sub save_counter {
 my ($filename, $counter) = @_;
 open(my $fh, '>', $filename) or die "Cannot open file $filename: $!";
 while (!flock($fh, LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB)) {
 # If the file is locked, wait a short time and try again
 usleep(100000); # 100 milliseconds
 }
 print $fh $counter;
 close($fh);
}

# Read current counter value from file
my $counter = -e $counterFile ? read_counter($counterFile) : 0;

# Increment the counter
$counter++;

# Save updated counter value to file
save_counter($counterFile, $counter);

# Generate HTML page counter span
#print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
#print "<span id=\"counter\">$counter</span>\n";

print "<svg width=\"100\" height=\"50\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg\">
 <text x=\"10\" y=\"40\" font-family=\"Arial\" font-size=\"40\" fill=\"$color\">$counter</text>
</svg>";

To use this, you will also need to create a counter directory on the webserver and give it read-write permission for whatever webserver you are running.

I have added a way to change the color. just add &color=color to the end of the url and it will change the text color. The background will be transparent.

You can use any normal color name, red, green, blue, purple, orange, plum, and so on. If you don't like these colors, try others.

if you do not specify a color it will default to black. If you try an invalid color, it will default to black.

It should show a transparent box with a black number in it. If your site is set to dark mode that will not work.

So long as your browser has access to I2P it should work.

Thank you very much /u/not_bob/, I appreciate. However, as of now this feature is not working on my side. There is blank space in place of the counter rectangle. What can be the possible issue? How do you think?

I have written a counter you can use in a static site.

To use the counter just include the following code in your html.

<img src="http://5gn3ca4z4occksx2cnwbcrun2mum2eg2c7zgfi7k7fetruwzmdiq.b32.i2p/counter.cgi?site=123842384" height=30>

Change the site number to a random number, and that will be your site number. Feel free to adjust the height to anything you want, the output is a svg file, so it will scale.

You could even use a different site number for each page on your site. Each site has it's own unique count.

As for logging. That server logs access just as any other normal webserver does. I do not share the data with anyone, and the only identifying information that is collected by the server is the b32 of the client who hits the site and the time/date.

We already have mirrors of quite a few useful sites and working outproxies.

Also, you are welcome. I work hard to be a useful member of the community.

Very good, but it should really use flock for file locking to prevent possible race conditions.

But, so long as the site isn't getting a really large number of hits, this is unlikely to be a problem even if you don't use it.

With the default I2P webserver (Jetty), assuming you have perl installed, you can run perl scripts from eepsite/cgi-bin. Something like the following will provide a basic pagecounter when embedded in a iframe:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

# File to store the page counter
my $counterFile = "counter.txt";

# Read current counter value from file
my $counter = 0;
if (-e $counterFile) {
open(my $fh, '<', $counterFile);
$counter = <$fh>;
chomp($counter);
close($fh);
}

# Increment the counter
$counter++;

# Save updated counter value to file
open(my $fh, '>', $counterFile);
print $fh $counter;
close($fh);

# Generate HTML page counter span
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";
print "<span id=\"counter\">$counter</span>\n";

Looks like I2P usage and content is growing. I hope we will have most of the internet available on I2P in a few years.

Thanks for hosting your valuable service for all this time, you are a trooper.

The only other one I use is irc.ilita.i2p.

Though, there are quite a few that are active.

http://notbob.i2p/cgi-bin/defcon.cgi?search=irc

I can't vouch for how active or useful they are though.

If you have a static site, you are limited to using someone else's counter. There is no way to run PHP code from a static site. Also, even if you were to use JavaScript, there is no way for your static site to store that data. So, still not an option.

The only real solution with such a site is to use someone else's counter as you mention in #2.

Not all I2P users have a clearnet outproxy configured. So, using a clearnet service is not the best option. Possible privacy issues aside.

I have a counter on the front of my notbob page. If you mouse over the van on the upper left side you will see a little box with a green graph. While it does not currently show the count, it still counts.

It would not be hard to write a multi-user count. I could likely code one up that would work for anyone pretty quickly. Something basic that just displays a number.

You would embed it into the html code with <img src="http://countersite.i2p/cgi-bin/counter.cgi?site=324832483">

Note the random number. There would be no need for me to even know what site it's counting for.

And, that would all you would have to do on your end. That is if you just want a count. If you want graphs and more complex breakdowns, that's another story.

But, a simple one would be easy. And, as for privacy, so long as you trust the person who's counter you are using, then you are good.

Feel free to hit me up on IRC if you want to discuss this further.

As for discussion, this is a good place to do it.
