dfr22 I did reset i2p+
dfr22 0.9.0-3+
Mustafabo dr|z3d, wyd
dr|z3d dfr22: nicely done.
dr|z3d Mustafabo: you know, all sorts. :)
Mustafabo are you selling CBD weed on the street corner to old people?
Mustafabo old people like CBD
Mustafabo I was in an elevator talking to a dude, and we talked about CBD weed, and this 90 year old man jumped into the conversation saying how he loved CBD
Mustafabo dr|z3d, CoCo is the best parrot ever
RN aloha Mustafabo, dr|z3d et al
dr|z3d hi RN
dr|z3d Mustafabo: nice. friendly? no bites?
RN hey hey
RN how are you doin' doc? and also, how's my favorite beard-guy Musty?
RN how are you doin' doc? and also, Musty, how's my favorite beard-guy?
Mustafabo dr|z3d, he doesn't bite me
dr|z3d very good, Mustafabo
Mustafabo He like beaks cause he's a baby
dr|z3d sounds like a sweet bird
Mustafabo So like he squeezes everything with his beak
Mustafabo to feel it
Mustafabo Yeah, he's sweet
RN awww, you got a baby bird again?
parrot hey dr|z3d
parrot how are you?
parrot hey RN & T3s|4_ & albat
parrot long time no see
parrot hello
parrot i'm here
dr|z3d hi parrot
dr|z3d all good?
parrot yea i'm all good
parrot morning or evening for you dr|z3d?
parrot i'm back
parrot so dr|z3d, i don't think that SSU2 was enabled
dr|z3d 1 in 4 chance, parrot, when you restart your i2p+ router. you can check on /info
dr|z3d if it says v: 2 in the SSU section, you're on SSU2.
shiver dr|z3d, was about to be sad when i looked at the log and saw a spike but then saw the scale and it was 50ms. And the lag was only because of the 24h reset of my isp.
shiver So it looks like it's fixed
dr|z3d oh, fantastic, shiver. 50ms now and again is fine, shouldn't impact anything. no drop in tunnels?
shiver no drops
dr|z3d brilliant
dr|z3d the upside of zzz's patch which replaces obscuratus' patch which apparently was causing issues in i2p+ is that b32 resolves should now be instant. no more fail the first time.
shiver i don't get 50ms spikes in normal use, the highest is 6ms over 9h
dr|z3d 6ms! great. that's better than 1.8 no?
shiver great to hear!
shiver yea, avg. was 12ms in 1.8 now 1ms
dr|z3d perfect :)
shiver looked again, in 1.8 avg was 13.3ms and max 18
shiver over 9h
shiver dr|z3d, thank you and everyone else for the fast help!
dr|z3d thanks for bringing the issue to my attention. :)
dr|z3d the fix probably merits pushing out an update on the release url, may do so later.
shiver also, i had a strange issue where i set ulimit to 65535 after restart but checking after a while it was back to 1024 again
dr|z3d had? did you manage to fix it?
dr|z3d did you fallback to using crontab instead?
shiver wrong wording, maybe have that issue again. idk what caused it
shiver no cron
shiver that didn't work after restart and had to do something else yesterday
shiver but i search around, will get it to work
dr|z3d I've got some other recommendations for performance on ubuntu. first off is the xanmod kernel which will in turn make the bbr2 congestion control algorithm available. and I'll paste an /etc/sysctl.conf file that's been optimized for i2p routers.
dr|z3d wget dl.xanmod.org/xanmod-repository.deb && dpkg -i ./xanmod-repository.deb && apt update && apt install linux-xanmod
dr|z3d that's a stable kernel with a chunk of performance optimizations.
dr|z3d run it on a variety of systems, no issues.
shiver restart neede?
dr|z3d for a kernel? hell yeah.. but wait a moment, you'll want the /etc/sysctl.conf file first..
shiver before restart i try to fix the cron stuff
dr|z3d did you add a crontab line '* * * * * ulimit -n 65535' to both root and i2p accounts?
shiver i did now
dr|z3d that'll fix it.
shiver something didn't work yesterday doing that
shiver but dont remember the error
dr|z3d could have been failed syntax, maybe I left an asterisk off that line. dunno.
shiver "/tmp/crontab.2YRVgu/crontab":26: bad day-of-week
shiver errors in crontab file, can't install.
shiver that was the error
shiver no, you gave me the same amount yesterday
shiver oh wait
shiver you also wrote is should add a second line: @reboot ulimit -n 65535
shiver *i should
shiver how much did you see before dc
dr|z3d shiver> something didn't work yesterday doing that
dr|z3d <shiver> but dont remember the error
shiver "/tmp/crontab.BfLkIC/crontab":25: bad day-of-week
shiver errors in crontab file, can't install.
shiver that was the error
shiver you also wrote i should add a second line: @reboot ulimit -n 65535
shiver probably that was the issue
dr|z3d no, that should be fine, that just sets the paramater when the system boots up. but it's not necessary if you're setting it every minute.
shiver strange, i added @reboot ulimit -n 65535 now and no error
dr|z3d yeah, was probably the other line.
shiver if you wrote something after my last comment i didn't see it
dr|z3d <dr|z3d> yeah, was probably the other line.
dr|z3d now on xanmod with the new systcl.conf file operational?
shiver lmao ulimit is still 1024
shiver yes systcl.conf is set
shiver and the mod installed
dr|z3d did you add the crontab line to both root and your i2p acct?
dr|z3d well that's bizarre. try a 'watch ulimit -n' and see if the value changes
shiver the fuck, i changed it 5min ago and its at 1024 again
shiver whatever, ill search around, wont take your time because of this
dr|z3d ok. there's a line in ~/i2p/i2prouter that attempts to configure limits, too, not sure it'll help, but still.
dr|z3d # Raise the soft open files soft ulimit to this value, if able
dr|z3d OPEN_FILES_ULIMIT=2048
shiver its at 2048
shiver i did cat /proc/PID/limits and looks like the router uses 65535
dr|z3d ok, good.
shiver about the xanmod, should i notice something special or look for in the logs?
dr|z3d you can uname -a to verify it's running.
dr|z3d otherwise, the performance issues you won't notice, but your router should. maybe over time you'll see differences in the router graphs.
shiver i see it in the uname output
dr|z3d review the info on xanmod.org to see what you're getting vs vanilla kernels.
dr|z3d if you're doing other things on the box, you know, GUI stuff, it should feel more responsive. but a lot of stuff is low level, not blatantly obvious differences.
dr|z3d ok, if you're running a release build of I2P+ with updates on the release path, you'll see a new release available. if you're on the /dev/ update url, business as usual.
dr|z3d for some users this may fix intermittent job lag spikes.
Mustafabo itsjustme
albat hey :3
Mustafabo How are you albat?
Mustafabo Somebody once told me, the world was gonna roll me. I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed. She was looking kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Mustafabo albat, you know Bismarck by Sabaton?
Mustafabo it's one of their best songs
albat yes i know them
Mustafabo very good band
