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
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

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.
