eyedeekay dr|zed re: the reddit post I can take it down on the basis of concern trolling but I don't know if it will do any good or make it worse

eyedeekay old.reddit.com/r/i2p/comments/13z5y9n/is_i2p_dev_chinese/jmsqm8i

dr|z3d eyedeekay: thanks, but I'm not sure it's necessary.

dr|z3d if the poster had a rudimentary grasp of gitlab, they'd probably notice that the person they're referencing isn't the same person that owns the repo.

dr|z3d but you're right, there is a certain amount of trolling going on it seems, or fear mongering, or whatever you want to call it.

dr|z3d I may respond in time to the post, though for now I'm letting it play out.

dr|z3d Thanks for adding your comment.

RN "The front page of the internet" Really? LOL

dr|z3d aspirational :)

RN hubris

RN :þ

dr|z3d that too :)

eyedeekay Well if they updated it it would have to be "the least-bad social media community you knew about in 2013"

eyedeekay which doesn't really roll off the tongue

dr|z3d :)

dr|z3d or just "we're not facebook" :)

eyedeekay yet

dr|z3d no, but they're heading that way. something about absurd charges for use of their api?

eyedeekay Yeah I'm really pissed about it

dr|z3d it's all greed. :|

dr|z3d aka satisfying the shareholders and enriching the founders.

eyedeekay It's going to bite them, everybody's on mobile now and everybody on mobile hates the official app

dr|z3d I'm not a fan of their desktop website. Bloated shit if you ask me.

eyedeekay old.reddit.com is better, it's what it looked like when reddit was a slightly better place for general discussion

dr|z3d *nods and smiles*

dr|z3d happy enough with teddit.i2p for the most part, except when I have to login.

eyedeekay it used to be that you could access the really-old-school version on i.redd.it but that doesn't work anymore

xeiaso at least old.reddit.com works... for now

eyedeekay Yeah for now, future is looking worse than ever though

eyedeekay I have almost exclusively used RedReader for almost the entire time I've been participating on r/i2p and it's a big part of the reason I'm able to be responsive

Hikari the old internet is dying

eyedeekay sad but true

eyedeekay There are some parts of the new internet that don't totally suck all the time though, would be nice if there were more people interested in connecting them to I2P though

not_bob i2p is the future of the free internet.

xeiaso hey hey hey not_bob, hows it going

not_bob Mostly good. BUsy as well.

not_bob But, had time to pop in here and read through scrollbacks.

not_bob You?

RN so, not_bob, are you proposing I2P new be called FFI?

RN *now

not_bob Well, no.

not_bob I2P is still a good name.

xeiaso Future Free vs Invisible

not_bob Though, we really do need a proper TLD.

RN LOL

RN actuallly, yes

not_bob RN: How have you been?

xeiaso Blinded message

not_bob Blinded message

not_bob Yeah, that was a *great* idea! лол

xeiaso Blinded message

not_bob lol

not_bob Or, win.zip

RN doing ok

not_bob Good to hear.

RN just hanging around watching paint dry

not_bob I've been keeping far more busy than I want.

not_bob Not a bad thing, but a bit crazy.

xeiaso busy in what sense? the grind?

RN busy is good until you get too close to overload

not_bob Nah, I do random jobs when they come.

not_bob And, lately they don't stop coming.

xeiaso at least you don't have nothing to do

dr|z3d not_bob, aka darknet assassin for hire. obviously. :)

not_bob There is that.

not_bob dr|z3d: It's impossible to rule out.

not_bob Greetings dr|z3d!

RN doxing: not_bob's realname is John not_Wick

not_bob lol

dr|z3d salutations, not_bob!

xeiaso not_bob, how many tunnels would you recommend a destination have?

not_bob xeiaso: Depends on the need?

RN I say 2.7

not_bob For a high traffic site, you want more out than in.

RN you need to enable advanced advanced config to set partial tunnels

xeiaso for a low traffic website. would lowering it to 1 or 2 be viable?

not_bob But, 3 should be more than enough for pretty much anything.

not_bob No less than 2.

not_bob My logic is if one fails, or can't be built, then there is a "backup"

xeiaso makes sense

not_bob But, it depends. i2p java has "backup tunnels" i2pd does not.

not_bob I use both I2P+ and i2pd.

xeiaso why?

xeiaso I could see one or the other, but why both?

not_bob It depends on the task, or need of the machine.

not_bob Both are very stable.

not_bob Here shortly I'm going to post the next blog post on my site.

not_bob i2pd uses a lot less ram/cpu.

not_bob Good for low memory machines.

not_bob Also, great for headless servers.

not_bob I2P is like an ecosystem.

not_bob There are a number of I2P packages that all work together.

not_bob Each one is a complete router.

not_bob It's not just I2P java, I2P+, and i2pd. There are also various bittorrent clients that have i2pd features.

not_bob Which means each person running one of those torrent clients is also running a fully fledged router (as far as the network cares).

not_bob The benifit of this is that it's deverse.

not_bob Monocultures are a very bad thing.

not_bob They allow bugs to exist unchecked.

not_bob With the diverse software we have, it allows issues to be found that would otherwise go unnoticed for a very long time.

xeiaso unfortunately they mostly fix the incompatibility bugs. the other bugs still exist.

not_bob It also allows for more creative solutions.

not_bob Yes, sadly bugs will exist in any software.

not_bob If you find a bug, report it.

not_bob Though, we do not have a unified bug reporting system.

xeiaso it's more of a "bug them" till it's fixed reporting system

not_bob That does work.

not_bob You hang here, you know who the devs are.

xeiaso I know who they are, that's why I report the bugs

not_bob *nod*

xeiaso do you think i2pd is stable? I heard it performed badly when the network is bad.

Hikari it's been stable enough for me

not_bob It's been fine.

Hikari it's not perfect but that's life in late-stage capitalism yo

Hikari it could be worse, but this sentence makes you breathe manually

xeiaso Hikari: the game

Hikari happy tongue awareness day

Hikari citeth not my own brand of magick at me, I will drag you down to my level and beat you with experience

Hikari :P

not_bob Time for me to take leave. Later!

xeiaso cya

Hikari xeiaso: i noticed you linked to the friendship castle, how is Twi doing lately?

xeiaso eyedeekay: The merge looks good. Now on to the next anonymity vulnerability. Consider the following scenario: A lease set sent to a destination's inbound tunnel.

xeiaso InboundMessageDistributor::distribute line 152 sets received by. This is good but not enough for the next message.

xeiaso InboundMessageDistributor::distribute line 220

xeiaso InNetMessagePool::add line 232 enques job created by FloodfillDatabaseStoreMessageHandler

xeiaso HandleFloodfillDatabaseStoreMessageJob::runJob line 116 stores lease set in netdb

xeiaso KademliaNetworkDatabaseFacade::store line 1045 puts it in the data store

xeiaso Then an almost identical lease set (different gateway hash) is sent directly to the router.

xeiaso InNetMessagePool::add line 232 enques job created by FloodfillDatabaseStoreMessageHandler

xeiaso HandleFloodfillDatabaseStoreMessageJob::runJob line 111 does setReceivedAsPublished(true) because getReceivedAsReply() is false because the message was sent directly.

xeiaso HandleFloodfillDatabaseStoreMessageJob::runJob line 116

xeiaso KademliaNetworkDatabaseFacade::store line 981 recognizes the lease set and updates the old one with the new one's flags. This includes setReceivedAsPublished(true).

xeiaso Finally a lease set lookup is sent directly to the router.

xeiaso InNetMessagePool::add line 250

xeiaso HandleDatabaseLookupMessageJob::runJob line 134 the if statement condition passes because the second database store message ran setReceivedAsPublished(true).

xeiaso HandleDatabaseLookupMessageJob::runJob line 144 sends the lease set that was originally sent to the destination. We now know the router is hosting that destination.
