Was the 'PALMOFF' idea workable?
tennis2
When someone deletes a torrent in snark, it is a 'rm' type operation isn't it, not a 'gio trash' job. I'd test myself but I'm busy testing other stuff atm. I think that if the default is 'gio trash-like' operations but you tell the user that the torrent was sent to the trash, then you have the best of all worlds. A person can go empty the trash if they want to be extra careful. By law, trashed content is not
tennis2
generally admissible anyway, right?

I did the 16x16 eyeeyepeer icon, dr|z3d you might be interested in how I did the eyes so they are more clear :) Got it down to 1.1kb.

The upcoming massive improvement of SnarkDisk-0.9-beta will have the icon included. It also shaves a couple hundred bytes (losslessly) from the 32 and 48 versions. I accidentally left some shapes in the files that are behind others and therefore not visible.

orignal, diva.exchange (Konrad) asked me to ping you about this i2pd crash bug that's still a problem: github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd/issues/1940
tennis2
Is there a reason why Oracle and akamai are flooding my connections
tennis2
my i2p connections
snex
u wot
tennis2
Do akamai or oracle provide any kind of valueable function to i2p
tennis2
?
tennis2
I'm thinking of blocking them tbh
not_bob
tennis2: Are they just froma range that they control?
tennis2
Let's just say I was connected to 5 IP addresses of ONE of those at one time very recently. I'm willing to bet it part of how they are doign the traffic analysis.
not_bob
Sounds likely.
not_bob
Same range as well?
snex
how are you determining this
snex
tennis2:
snex
oracle has free VPS boxes so im sure a lot of those are used to run i2p
snex
seems like akamai also offers VPS
tennis2
Couldn't access sites > looks at peers > was shocked by flood.
tennis2
If you are using IP2 via big tech then you are doing it wrong, very wrong. Yep. I'm blocking
tennis2
F* them
tennis2
One more thing to add to the list of s* todo
snex
not everyone has the bandwidth to be able to run it locally bruh
snex
we dont all have gigabit fiber yaknow
tennis2
lol its doesn't use that much
not_bob
I have many routers, many of them are VPS, or a RPI sitting quietly in someone's office.
tennis2
The latter is glorious but I'll be blocking any of the former (or the latter) if they are using big tech, i think. I don't know if it will have a big outcome because they will still exist in the network, and also depending on how much physical infrastructure they own etc. Isn't it interesting how these corporations are the new "state" offering "free" stuff. gotta wonder what product they are selling.
StormyCloud
Just seems silly to block a router/service because its not self hosted
snex
theyre giving you a free sample just like the grocery store does
snex
im using a free oracle vps host for a website
snex
heroku was free for a very long time and they were amazing
tennis2
Not self-hosted =/= bigtech stawmanning
tennis2
s/bigtech/bigtech./
snex
the fuck u talkin bout
tennis2
I didn't say all must be self hosted, StormyCloud was strawmanning my argument, and you'd have noticed if your bias wasn't playing out
StormyCloud
:/
snex
why are you opposed to using bigtech resources against them
snex
especially when they hand it out for free
snex
like do you think running an i2p router on one of their free VPSs gives them info they dont already have?
snex
especially if its just pure relay
tennis2
You can't use their tools to stop them. Especially when they design those tools to extract from you. Its non-sensical. The only way to use their tools against them is to know when you are using their tools. If you state on your website that you are hosting it on oracle servers as a failsafe, then yes good. But if you are doing it as your primary thing you are just helping them to dominate. You are feeding them.
tennis2
Relay? The point of a relay it to not give your data to an actor to do traffic analysis. Why don't you just send all you connection data to oracle. lol
snex
they dont have any data from an i2p router running on their machines
snex
that is, any data that isnt already public anyway
snex
you just have no idea what youre talking about
tennis2
If everyone did what you did and ran a relay, we would end up with oracle knowing EVERYTHING EVERYONE IS DOING ALL THE TIME.
snex
no we wouldnt
snex
thats not how i2p works
tennis2
That's how traffic analysis works.
snex
you cant analyze encrypted data. it is indistinguishable from random junk
tennis2
If evryone ran oracle relays then oracle would be in a great position to dial up and down the throughput and see where everything is really going.
tennis2
don't delude
tennis2
Then we are just back at square one with metadata retention, censorship, etc etc
snex
you dont know what you are talking about
snex
and its doubly absurd to think that oracle is doing this to spy on i2p when i bet that i2p nodes make up less than 1% of these free VPSes
snex
its nothing but a loss leader
snex
and if you hate bigtech youd maximize those losses for them
tennis2
i don't go around in circles, ive said what i need.
snex
i might spin up an i2p router on my 2nd free oracle box just to annoy you
snex
i might even host a service on it just so oracle can spy on it
snex
however i think they dont allow persistent services such as i2p to run on free tier
StormyCloud
snex no point in arguing with him
dr|z3d
I see we've taken a turn down conspiracy lane.
StormyCloud
I might throw some I2P routers on azure too
dr|z3d
tennis2: don't overthink things, you'll hurt yourself.
snex
i want to start loading i2p onto le-potato sbpcs and hiding them in airbnbs where i stay
dr|z3d
you use i2p to provide your ssh tunnel, then you're away.
dr|z3d
for a backup plan, tor hidden service for ssh.
