dr|z3d A response: cake.i2p/file/PYbAXkVD2Z_dgC9XjvxGB1VOJCEKKKTlWn6k4Puw4_7uzaJ6OHaL/TrumpIsADick.webp

dr|z3d If anyone has a twitter account and wants to post that and tag trump, be my guest. no attribution necessary.

snex trump doesnt use twitter

dr|z3d yeah he does. he does since elon interviewed him. expect him to use it more.

snex funny how the guardian has no articles about kamala posting AI generated crowds to make her rallies look full

dr|z3d funny that.

Irc2PGuest77359 ai has great potential to make the internet useless again, at least for people who dont know how to use it, 90% of ppl

dr|z3d except it does, as a rebuttal.

snex if the article is a "debunking" then thats not what im talking about. im talking about the ones kamala posted to her own insta

dr|z3d guardian tends to stick to the facts, not Trump fantasies presented as alternative facts.

Irc2PGuest77359 <dr|z3d> "guardian tends to stick to the facts" <<<<< oh god (see also: julian assange)

snex i suspect these msm retards make their own fake AI images, pass them along to trump fans who then tweet them out, only to then say "AHA SEE THESE ARE FAKE!"

dr|z3d behave, throstle.

Irc2PGuest77359 o i am

snex anybody who supports democrats is not sticking to facts

snex the guardian fired glen greenwald for sticking to facts

Irc2PGuest77359 snex> the guardian fired glen greenwald for sticking to facts <<<<< he left theintercept also, shame he's not started an i2p page

snex im trying to get sane people to come to i2p with my podcast

snex so far every single "news" site is flaming comies

snex commies*

Irc2PGuest77359 corpo commies.... i call them crommies

snex thats all commies tho

Irc2PGuest77359 or cronnies

snex they will swear up and down that theyre for worker owned blahblah but every single time we see what they do

Irc2PGuest77359 its closer to fascist than communist

Irc2PGuest77359 just say fascist

Irc2PGuest77359 when i think of communist i think of people coming together as a community to do things that benefit the common person, thats the opposite of what happens with these cronnies

snex thats what communists want you to think

snex thats why you give them power

Irc2PGuest77359 no i dont

snex read marx. he tells you that communism is violence

Irc2PGuest77359 cronnism and fascism is violence

snex communism is violence

Irc2PGuest77359 cronyism and fascism is violence that the person being attacked doesn't even know why, that's wat we have

Irc2PGuest77359 why or how

Irc2PGuest77359 cronyists is more precise

Irc2PGuest77359 fascist if you want to boil it down

Irc2PGuest77359 all things said, i dont have time for the uniparty, a third party or candidate is needed

snex Move to Las Vegas and vote for me for congress

Irc2PGuest77359 mayb im already there :P

Irc2PGuest77359 <snex> im trying to get sane people to come to i2p with my podcast <<<< keep up the great work!!!

snex Don’t

snex Doubt*

RN bleeb

RN the fq I just type? I thought auto-incrorrect was only on my mobile

RN *** steals an early mail in ballot and writes in the candidate name "Snex" ***

snex You have to use my real name… also what is that ban lol

Irc2PGuest77359 do folks here know that there is a discrepancy between what firefox does when you "copy" an image to base64 format and what a command like base64 offers?

dr|z3d there are 2 base64 image variants.

Irc2PGuest77359 ok well that interesting they give different variants

dr|z3d 2 slightly different encodings, to be more specific.

snex I will make a 3rd one

RN cake.i2p/file/9s1kGPAhvJ_ZpLPa04BVkxnCYOXJso8Vwtlpwdbuz_woV8sglvf4/snex%20for%20pres.png

Irc2PGuest77359 yes, i just thought it was interesting that between those 2 they have chosen differently, snex will nedd to check that out when it connects

Irc2PGuest77359 the type of b64 ff-ish browsers spit out looks to be 20% larger

Irc2PGuest77359 or thereabouts

Irc2PGuest77359 seems to fluctuate a bit in terms of how much bigger it is which is odd

Irc2PGuest77359 importantly both work in ff-ish browsers, in windows systems which variant is the default?

dr|z3d nfi

Irc2PGuest77359 ie. if someone uses the powershell in windows i wonder if they get the ff-ish version, i'd hope not because then the shorter version becomes a linux trait/fingerprint

Irc2PGuest77359 whats nfi

dr|z3d no f'ing idea.

Irc2PGuest77359 np, i'll research and report back

Irc2PGuest77359 otherwise if i2p has in its arsenal the same encoder that linux uses then it MIGHT be nice to have a form that spits out the base64, if its more than 300kb it might spit it out to a file rather than display in the browser..

Irc2PGuest77359 i cant research now mus go, if anyone is interested and learns which format the m$ shell uses, drop the result here

RN ok, dr|z3d is not here... party time!!!

RN anyone know where he keeps the key to the liquor cabinet?

RN snex, are you holding?

snex holding what

RN when someone asks if "you are holding" that means "you got any weed?"

RN running for office and you don't even know that?

RN how are you going to manage your bribes if you don't even speak the people's language?

snex i dont use drugs

snex i will end corruption

RN *** winks ***

RN yeah, I see you have interesting crowds as your political rallies

RN cake.i2p/file/eTfD5KLmav_ctPcgL1USO8c0X5qiB6fV3IpcPfKx5_vOFkSsB9Ft/SNEX-MAGA.png

dr|z3d now that one I like, RN. good work.

RN Σ:Đ

snex you should make a campaign site for me

snex i cant provide any input or it will count as a political in-kind donation

cumlord lmao, the background is also on point

snex register a PAC

RN thanks cumlord, I tried to take a good photo with my mobile, I did crop it a little

T3s|4 dr|z3d: ^agreed - wonderful to see our latest artiste AI contributor, RN, pay a rainbow visit to LostWages/SinCity :D

RN thanks T3ss :)

RN it was hot

T3s|4 :D

T3s|4 and yep, August (days and nights) in both LV and Phoenix can be excruciating :)

RN isn't that a song? ♫ ♪ hot august night ♪ ♫

T3s|4 iirc, when 122 F was achieved, all flights were grounded (and diverted) at PHX, because Boeing had never tested take offs or landings at or above 122 F - and just as surely, no company is going to pay to build a new a runway in Death Valley, CA, (even hotter) capable of accommodating the world's largest aircraft :)

T3s|4 build a new *runway

RN Death Valley does not sound like I place I would like. My blood prefers colder to hotter.

T3s|4 lols - hence the name ;p

RN yarr

T3s|4 RN - had no clue this even existed: looks huge and great duckduckgo.com/?q=hot+august+nights&iax=videos&ia=videos&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dpa3iGhuac9Q

RN oh, neat

RN I'm lately dissapoint with ddg. goog results are notably more relevant for many searches. damn google@!!#@$%

snex use brave

RN yeah, I sometimes use brave, but that doesn't change the search results

RN ddg still gives wildly wrong results in the to 5 or so compared to goog for many searches I've done lately

T3s|4 RN: I run DDG 90+% of the time, and only use GOOG when I'm out of other ideas. If you're seeing noticeably better GOOG results, I assume that is because GOOG's far more massive AI search result investments, solely due to GOOG's ONLY customers (i.e. their advertisers) remain currently willing to pay for those higher AI costs, in return for better, more targeted, end-consumer, likely

T3s|4 buyer, search results! I detest sharing my data with and being GOOG's end product! :D

T3s|4 and indeed, an uncompensated GOOG, end product...

T3s|4 RN: I typically run (torified) FF and TBB, but if your OS supports it, ungoogled-chromium seems to work well on my end

T3s|4 through Privoxy, ofc

RN yeah, I use Tor for goog

RN when I don't end up in catchpa hell

T3s|4 right!

RN in that proxied browser ddg is the default search

T3s|4 ofc

RN if you had a google speaker, would you trust the microphone cut of switch?

T3s|4 GOOG detests Tor users because it make YOU and YOUR DATA far less valuable to their advertisers / ONLY customers :)

T3s|4 because *Tor makes YOU...

RN :)

T3s|4 RN: wire cutters are often useful :)

RN hehe

RN wirecutters are usefull for a few cuts, according to a youtube I recently watched

RN they don't harden the metal enough, and the cut the blades at the wrong angle

RN even expensive ones

RN I must have bought my tools before companies got so cheap on their products

T3s|4 RN: precisely why I support off-shoring of all the few remaining US manufacturing plants to China, permanently ;p

RN a lot of the wire cutters are already made in China

RN especially the more inferior ones

T3s|4 my point, exactly

RN I'd pay extra post fees if craftsman was still high quality

RN my 30 year old Klein cutters will outperform and outlast what you can get at harbert freight today

RN did I spell that right?

RN they woudld even outlast and outperform the same model bought from Klein today

T3s|4 so would many, if such choices were even available, but in many specific tool (and other product) markets, their are zero non-Chinese alternatives available

RN 'made in usa' doesn't mean what it used to... they are all skimping on quality control

snex im sure it has nothing to do with labor regulations making it impossible to run a profitable business

orignal why tracker2.postman.i2p throws "Too many requests"?

T3s|4 RN: this way: harborfreight.com

snex because you made too many requests

T3s|4 been buying there for decades; something like 80+% built in China, and that was years ago ;p

RN ahh.. I got it totally wrong. lol. been a while since I visted my USA friend and went there

orignal yes, too many requests

orignal but dr|z3d said it could be changed

RN orignal, tracker2 uses standard java-i2p rate limits

orignal how about multihoming?

orignal let me formulate the question differently

RN you're probably going to hit the same server unless you reset tunnel and get lucky, doesn't it pick the "closest"

orignal where I can go for torrents?

orignal I didn't try to connect

RN btdigg.i2p gives you magnets, but they are for outernet torents,, they SOMETIMES have I2P seeders

orignal "too many requests" was for the first connection

RN sumo wrestler?

orignal it seems it's juts overloaded

RN if you saw him just click the button

orignal and people at kislista compain too

RN I know he has been actively working on it lasst couple weeks

RN if YOU have other routers in different locations, maybe try through one of those

orignal no, there was no sumo

RN in a pinch, you could get a torrent from skank.i2p

orignal just "too many requeust" error

orignal where?

T3s|4 RN: the vast majority of the very few remaining US manufacturing companies lie about their 'made in America' claim(s). What the truth is: we buy 80-90% of our sub-components/assemblies from China, then perform final assembly in the US. That, alone, explains the final horrific product quality ;p

RN but that'd just be one, and no idea of peers, and not a big file.

RN I believe dr|z3d has a torrent link for I2P+ updater on his site, skank

RN also if you get on tracker2 there is a "magnet dump" file you can get, but again probably no info about live peers

orignal if I need a torrent in clearnet I go to rutracker.org

orignal and find one

orignal but what one if supposed to do in I2P?

RN tracker2, or take chance on outernet magnet.

RN since your comrades decided to end rutracker.i2p

orignal no tracker.i2p was not an I2P turrents tracker

orignal is there a way to fix tracker2 to handle current load?

cumlord new session usually works when tracker2 gets angry

orignal it didn't work

not_bob Shit, no tracker2? Not fun.

not_bob Oh, there it works. I got the error the frist time, but not the second.

orignal I couldn't get in

not_bob I am able to get in on a second router.

not_bob But, not without some trouble.

orignal something needs to be done

not_bob I've sent him a private message.

not_bob Nothing else I can do.

not_bob We really need more than one tracker.

orignal in general

orignal I'm trying to understand what's a problem

not_bob Likely someone is hammering it to do a DDoS.

not_bob t-ru.i2p is the only other "tracker" that really has anything. But, it's not a tracker at all. It's just a forum.

orignal it's clearnet torrents

T3s|4 I am also failing with tracker2.postman.i2p/index.php?view=Main&reset=1&start=0&limit=20 with '429 Too Many Requests'

orignal basically rutracker.org

cumlord been wanting to work on a federated tracker. have some bones in place but it would take a lot of work

snex instead of a tracker, why not a thing like btdig that just scans DHT stuff and logs it and provides a search form

snex please dont break any laws tho

not_bob snex: You can search with btdig.

snex right

snex just mirror that functionality instead of having a full tracker

snex i will help build it as long as whoever hosts it gives me a written promise that they will do their best to remove illegal files

not_bob You mean, pretty much all of them? :)

snex im running for congress i cant afford a scandal

not_bob Right, right.

not_bob You would get my vote. If I did that sort of thiong.

snex an elastic (or similar) database would be great for this

not_bob I could build a database that can be searched. But, I don't know enough about torrrents to pull the data from the dht.

cumlord i'd like some sort of content organization, that and every time i've tried to understand i2p's dht it scares me

not_bob cumlord: It's a mess, I've tried.

cumlord same

not_bob At one point I wanted to write a scaper to just scrap the DHT for torrents.

snex I found some scripts on stackoverflow that allegedly parse through a torrent file from the hash via DHT. I didn’t test them out

T3s|4 hmmh, first 429, reload, then Sumo, reload, then text only, reload, then tracker2

orignal one tracker in i2p is unacceptable

snex Another cool thing you could do is, if a torrent has a nfo file, download it and add it to your searchable database

not_bob Yeah, I can get in sometimes.

cumlord i tried converting one of the dht cralwers to i2p but that was the roadblock for me so it was a non started

snex It can’t be that hard

not_bob Changing my http proxy b32 doesn't seem to matter.

snex Just read the snark code and see what it’s doing

cumlord yeah tbf i didn't read the code when i tried that and decided it would take too long to understand it and just did the other thing

snex Even a DHT indexer will be hit with DDoS even from regular users. You need somebody who can donate the hardware and bandwidth

snex I wonder if this is something that can just be built right into snark…

snex Just have clients offer a search DHT option and it just queues it up and takes as long as it takes

snex Give option to download nfo files and search them too

cumlord i remember idk stating he didn't want that but i could be mistaken

not_bob There are reasons to not want that.

cumlord but as a app if it could be done why not i guess

cumlord it will grab .torrent file and just download the .nfo?

snex yeah. not sure why you wouldnt want this. like each client would maintain its own little elastic db of files it serves

snex then another client says "hey do you have 'manjaro 69.420'?"

snex all DHT peers reply with an info hash or a 404

snex then your client gets the file list and possible NFO files of those hashes and you decide if that torrent is what you want or not

snex or the client response can just give the full file list and NFO content with highlighted search terms

cumlord iirc he said didn't want abuse material type stuff easily searchable within snark

not_bob cumlord: spot on

snex i mean you are witnessing the alternative - centralized points of failure

cumlord ah i see

snex if somebody did fork snark and made these changes and released it as a standalone, then i suspect users would simply shift towards that fork regardless of what anybody else wants

cumlord discuss.i2p/viewtopic.php?t=148 is the roundabout thing i was thinking, so ideally other people would chose to run their own

cumlord snex yeah that is a good point if it's out there people will use it

cumlord it would be the best way to do that

snex you could also offer a "ban infohash" feature for users who find a no-no hash so they can just add this hash to their ban list

snex or ban keywords so any torrent that responds to those keywords never gets returned

snex and then that hash automatically gets added to their ban list

snex eg i add the phrase "clown porn" to my ban list and any search result with > 0.75 (adjustable) confidence doesnt show up and my client adds its hash to my banned hashes list

snex also have a whitelist feature and an extensive blacklist view feature so you can find false positives and whitelist them

snex perhaps yet another option for users to "donate" disk space to index torrents they have witnessed but dont themselves serve

RN snex, maybe you should revive sponge's ddb implementation "seedless"

zzz there's plenty of _trackers_. what you really want is more places or ways to do _torrent discovery_.

RN if it was set up right as an I2P plugin, maybe there'd be a case for hooking it into snark

RN I think most people are saying tracker when they mean torrent index site

snex right thats what im talking about - have snark (or whatever) maintain an elaticserch db that other clients can query over DHT

snex like have no centralized site at all, just p2p communication

cumlord yes rn

RN yeah snex seedless was just the distributed dht implemented for I2P. had potential, but sponge was not always easy to work with on technical stuff.

zzz there's some threads on zzz.i2p about it from years ago, DHT search is pretty messy and nonstandard and hard

RN I still get requests to my eepsite asking for Seedless

zzz you're venturing into imule/muwire territory

RN after all these years

zzz and yes seedless

cumlord in theory it sounds great but i'm worried about an avalanche of cp getting mixed in with my clown porn searches

snex i mean whats hard? client A sends a search phrase. client B runs that phrase through their elasticdb. either gets results or not

snex youre more likely to get flooded with porn from india as those people think adding more search terms is always better even when those search terms dont apply

snex (pls dont cancel me not racist)

RN (side note - it makes it easier for us to mix up tracker/index when postman's site is called tracker2 so people think the index part is always part of a tracker)

RN LOL metadata stuffing

zzz what you want is a service like piratebay/torrentgalaxy/eztv/etc. scrape those, take anything with > 1000 seed+leech, query dht or opentrackers to find out how many in i2p, add RSS or scrape from postman, put it all on a eepsite

zzz add a RSS and a search box. and _maybe_ snark learns how to suck in RSS

snex but why do we want that? thats just another target for DDoS or LE

orignal we need more eesites with torrents

zzz b/c dht search is hard. look on my forum for old discussions

cumlord yeah, i don't think that's a bad idea, could even add in tracker2 torrents from magnet dump

snex adding elastic to snark would be easy - although its quite large

zzz there are ppl scraping or rss'ing postman, b/c every torrent no matter how obscure rapidly gets a few leeches

snex i still dont see whats hard about client A sending out a search phrase and its peers checking locally and responding

RN implement it and you'll uncover the challenging parts

cumlord yup, i've been noticing that

zzz you're not going to win the discussion by convincing me it's easy; I won't win by convincing you it's not. Do your own research

snex well i mean 1 layer should be easy. the hard part would be peers asking other peers

RN I have forgotten the details but spend many hours testing with that ol guy

snex but we dont need the search to be "exhaustive" - it can be something that periodically pings out looking for responses. if the user finds what they want, they turn the search off. if not, they keep it active

RN and how to find the other peers, and what kind of reccords can be pushed into it. don't make it torrents only and it can be used for many other fun things

RN I'd disagree, leave it on, just close the 'search function' webui, or you won't have enough of them running long enough to support each other

zzz the biggest thing we're lacking is finding out what clearnet torrents are available in i2p. a postman clone won't help; neither will dht search, unless bigly supports it

zzz you want a piratebay/torrentgalaxy/eztv scraper/clone

orignal checsums?

snex well the problem that spurred this discussion was tracker2 being unresponsive and rate limiting people after 1 request. piratebay clone wont solve that issue. we have no billionaire benefactor willing to host these sites for us

orignal if you know torrents checksum it's esay

dr|z3d bitmagnet.io

RN maybe instead of scraping all those, just present it with a magnet and let it test presence in I2P and have an api so it could be integrated into snark, bbt, or other purposes like i2pchat app

RN (checksum ≈ hash ≈ magnet)

snex i ran across bitmagnet last week when researching this stuff. seems interesting but also seems sus to run over clearnet

orignal prorbably rutracker.org is the biggest torrent service now

not_bob rutracker has a lot of good stuff.

snex btdig.com

cumlord yeah bitmagnet is the one i tried to hack for i2p and gave up pretty quickly

zzz I don't mean a literal clone. Something that does what they do. grab a list of infohashes/titles, find out how many seeds/leeches inside our net, put it on a eepsite

orignal then if margnet is just hash of content

orignal it's easy

RN someone is still running a piratebay onion

snex right but if its on an eepsite, its a central point of failure

orignal I think Russia is the pirate capital now ))

orignal most of torrent services are Russian

not_bob *** nods at orignal. ***

dr|z3d bitmagnet is "A self-hosted BitTorrent indexer, DHT crawler, content classifier and torrent search engine with web UI, GraphQL API and Servarr stack integration."

orignal and remeber yandex don't filter them out

orignal juts type <name> torrent in search

orignal and you will find a lot

zzz if we only have one of something, sometimes the best answer is to get one or two more. "full distributed" isn't always the next thing after "one"

cumlord orignal yup, it's why not willing to host my own magnets atm, need to find a russian with hardware

RN also the person(s) running a site like zzz is describing have to consider the risk of making so many requests to tracker sites to do the scraping... though I am not aware of anyone getting in trouble for looking what is there, just actual uploading/sharing

orignal I'm a Russian with hardware. Then?

cumlord zzz i was hoping for federated

snex users dont want the experience of "oh tracker2 doesnt have it now let me try tracker3" they just want to search and go. dunno if anybody remembers popcorn-time but that was hugely popular

orignal that's what you do when find something rare

orignal for example you can patched Windows there nnmclub.to

zzz and if we had 3 sites all with RSS and we integrated a feed reader/aggregator into snark?

snex then youre hating life when they go down

snex and having to constantly make code changes to adjust for new ones, ones going offline

snex bisq recently lost a seed node. they had to force users to upgrade because seed nodes are hard coded

cumlord if i make, willing to host it original?

orignal host what?

snex it just seems to me that if i can type in a straight infohash and DHT can find it, then it ought to be able to find human readable search terms too

cumlord simple torrent site with metadata/magnets original

dr|z3d bitmagnet could be made to work over i2p, though it's won't be just tweaking a couple of lines of code I suspect.

RN woulnt that require the dht to be storing that info? otherwise, parsing it and requesting details like file names is already talking to a peer, you're like a half step from downloading it already

cumlord that's what i think

snex it would require every client to store that info in a searchable db yes

dr|z3d one of the entries on the "pipe dream features" list is vaguely in sync with i2p, perhaps someone wants to context the developer:

dr|z3d > Something that looks like a decentralized private tracker; by this I probably mean something that’s based partly on personal trust and manually weeding out any bad actors; I’d be wary of creating something that looks a bit like Tribler, which while an interesting project seems to have demonstrated that implementing trust, reputation and privacy at the protocol level carries too much overhead to b

dr|z3d e a compelling alternative to plain old BitTorrent, for all its imperfections

snex you are definitely increasing your client footprint - but the bennies are massive

orignal how much resources does it need?

orignal memory, disk space, bandwidth

dr|z3d are you asking about bitmagnet, orignal?

cumlord let me check

orignal <cumlord> simple torrent site with metadata/magnets original

orignal about this

RN hahaha... flux thinks "massive benies" look like WonderWoman

dr|z3d there are currently 2 available tracker site platforms that run over i2p _by default_ that I know of.

snex RN: wat?

cumlord as it is now, about 100mb of space, 50mb memory for the app itself plus nginx

Irc2PGuest83887 dr|z3d: decentralized private tracker++

snex github.com/bitmagnet-io/bitmagnet/issues/303

RN this with the correct spelling: cake.i2p/file/DyQguR22fj_X2WEvoLclG20SmTrX7CTS7Rl7dBptw_WovIrd216d/massive%20bennies.png

RN but spelled benies it is making pics of wonder woman

RN LOL

cumlord it doesn't have images and is mostly text only, if images were added that'd probably be most of the disk usage

Irc2PGuest83887 would be great to be able to distribute big files over i2p using bittorent without publishing to public trackers

Irc2PGuest83887 I think there's a tracker plugin for the router but could never get it to work

orignal it's nothing

dr|z3d github.com/vituperative/flyte is one (the original bytemonsoon which postman forked)

dr|z3d and github.com/majestrate/torrent.ano

dr|z3d both of those have fairly reasonable server requirements. if your vps can run nginx and serve 10s of users concurrently, it can probably run either without issue.

dr|z3d distributing files via bitorrent over i2p is just a question of creating a torrent, starting said torrent, and sharing the hash.

dr|z3d well done, snex, that's a start.

RN rss getting hashes "out there" is a good feature

orignal sharing wwhere?

Irc2PGuest83887 dr|z3d: you can give that people and have them paste it into their i2psnark?

snex yes

dr|z3d you can, mesh.

snex put in a random sha1 see what pops up lol

dr|z3d because snark enables open trackers and dht by default.

cumlord Yeah I tried to make it minimal, but easy to add mass amounts of torrents

dr|z3d so any time you create a new torrent in snark, it'll automatically get propagated to the open trackers and dht.

cumlord Just rss might even be easier though

Irc2PGuest83887 I guess that makes sense. you don't really need a tracker. you just need a "secret hash distribution" mechanism. It's not very secure though....

snex here is a hash that you might like: FAD6CA0EDBE7AC0B63365B512988620B9C45DB1B

orignal can I just insert it into snark?

cumlord Yeap so the issue is finding the hash

dr|z3d sure you can, orignal

cumlord Yeap

orignal lemme try

dr|z3d paste that in the add torrent input. hashes work.

orignal into URL?

dr|z3d yup

not_bob snex: :)~

snex hello 8cbE

orignal SAWP.avi

Irc2PGuest83887 I think what I really want is unison over i2p. It should be fairly easy to setup because unison can sync over direct sockets.

RN spoiler, that hash is probably snax's podcast

dr|z3d we KNOW it's snex's podcast.

dr|z3d without even downloading it..

dr|z3d *** chuckles. ***

RN ;)

orignal I don't care

orignal I'm testing my I2CP implemntation )))

snex and wof2

orignal so it doesn't matter what's inside

snex you probably dont want to watch this video

snex its not illegal or anything

snex but... dont watch it

snex its not my podcast lol

Irc2PGuest83887 distributing hashes is easy... setup a rss feed haha. zzz's right, that's a solved problem. it would be cool if there was an integrated solution though

not_bob snex: That file is fake. I can tell from the pixels.

dr|z3d subscribe/download torrents via RSS has been suggested previously.

snex users dont search for hashes. users search for human readable search terms

orignal based on fule name I guess it's porn

Irc2PGuest83887 but I guess I don't like that just anybody can grab my sekrits if they know the hash.

snex how dare you suggest i would host a fake SWAP.avi

snex why? thats why you are seeding it lol

not_bob I'll be upset if it's not the real thing.

orignal ha ha

dr|z3d if you want private torrents over i2p, encrypt the data before you seed it.

snex if you want to host secret files, encrypt them first

orignal upload speed is higher than download ))

snex JUNX

snex JINX

RN equal number of peers and seeds?

Irc2PGuest83887 dr|z3d: yeah I thought about that, but then anybody who has a public key can decrypt it. Unless you do the reverse: create a seed for each recipient and encrypt it using their public key

orignal probably

dr|z3d you can encrypt however you like, password protect, pub/priv key, whatever suits.

snex thats not how encrypting works. you encrypt your file using the public key of the recipent

snex then only the recipient can decrypt it

Irc2PGuest83887 I just want to be sure an "authorized user" is downloading the data. The easiest way to do this is just to setup an ftp server with authorized users which is what I've done. But you don't get the torrenting goodness that way.

dr|z3d that's one way, snex. not the only way.

RN sure, unless you plan to release the key to select persons at a later time

snex if you encrypt it with the recipent's public key and other people download it, theyre basically just helping you host it for free

orignal share encrypted zip file

orignal old method

snex using asym keys means you dont have to worry about sending them a password

Irc2PGuest83887 but users can easily use a program like WinScp to sync the ftp server down which adds a bit of resiliency

RN winscp is "oaky" but it is not very efficient compared to using ssh/sftp etc on a real OS

RN or, to rephrase that like the good doctor would, winSCP is not performant

orignal and sftp exists on windows 10

orignal built in

RN ah, power shell stuff? or separate?

cumlord here's another one for you if you're testing, snarks are on i2pd now bcdfa625d67342e8442df19e1a79775857522751

Irc2PGuest83887 is there a way to mirror tracker2? I would love to be able to have my own tracker2 that contains all the info and is fully searchable even if the prime tracker2 is too overloaded or is even unavailable

RN considering postman is currently battling bots... scraping tracker2 is probably not something he would welcome...

Irc2PGuest83887 my god is there is anything worse than functional programmers

orignal cmd, powershell, whatever

orignal just system command

orignal ssh and sftp

zzz postman has RSS, no need to scrape

orignal cumlord I2CP is not good in i2pd 2.53.1

orignal only trunk is good

Irc2PGuest83887 RN: not scraping. A place where I can go each day and download a dump of postman's db. It's backed by a real db, right? Could this be dumped into a SQLite file?

RN he does offer a magnet dump, not sure the inclusion criterion for that

snex functional programming = write-only programming

orignal yes, guys from kislitsa like to do it

RN otherwise, you'd have to ask him directly

orignal how about shoomgle's crawler ?

orignal shmoogle's

zzz I believe there's per-category RSS or maybe even custom RSS you can configure also

RN yes the rss features are good

RN mesh@j6.i2p if you just want a daily quick look at what is new and don't want to rss for it, planet.i2p gives such a summary

RN not the most modern looking site, but it does do its job

zzz I believe there's a bigly RSS plugin, somebody go try it and report back

RN oh?

RN hmmmm....

RN I think that auto downloads what is in the rss feed... been a while since I looked

j6 likely

j6 there's rss feature in most torrent clients, makes sense that it'd auto-download, e.g. you might have a feed for downloading new releases of your favourite thing (linux iso, totally legal movie serial, whatever)

RN *** nods ***

RN I'd like to see the entries scroll across like an old school rss ticker

RN and choose them myself

cumlord it seems better than it was, might split java/i2pd again

RN I used to do that in my browser

orignal why?

RN me? because I had news feeds, and new torrents scroll across in my browser to quickly see what was new without opening several sites

Irc2PGuest83887 my point was that if there's too much load on tracker2 I could host a mirror but I suppose nobody would trust my mirror of tracker2, I certainly wouldn't, but then people do download actual executable software from postman because they're insane

orignal why split?

snex problem is its not a mirror (unless you make it read only)

zzz you could also try Sonarr + snark-rpc-plugin + snark; sonarr does rss

Irc2PGuest83887 the mirror would download a dump once a day at most

cumlord Test how to get most amount of throughput I get, I can see all the snarks on my multiplexer script

Irc2PGuest83887 but it could work with rss. this would make the mirror into a stateful service that would incrementally accumulate all the new releases on postman and store them into its own db

snex unless postman is storing attachments as blobs in the db, youd have to get all that junk too

snex also .torrent files can be fairly large sometimes

snex i suspect his db is huge

RN if you really want to support tracker2, and postman decides he needs more multi homes, I'm sure he'd work with you, then it wouldnt be a clone, but hosting a node for him

cumlord Throughput is a bottleneck for me so I tinker

RN but you gotta ask him that directly. and I doubt he feels more nodes multihoming is what is needecdx

Irc2PGuest83887 snex: yeah that's a good point. I don't want all the comments and users and craps. just the hashes and filenames, maybe the descs

cumlord zzz yes bigly's rss plugin works in i2p

cumlord last time i tried anyway

dr|z3d you have to be logged in to tracker2 to grab the dump file.

dr|z3d then the dump file should be available on you profile page. it's rate limited, don't try downloading it ever hour.

dr|z3d *every

Irc2PGuest83887 dr|z3d: you're right. there is a dump file. and its only 3mb

Irc2PGuest83887 haha this is exactly what I need. I can open this in vim and search it super fast

Irc2PGuest83887 this solves the problem. I won't be using tracker2's search functionality any more and load should be reduced by 50%

RN mesh I mentioned the tracker2 magnet dump file like 3-4 hours ago.

Irc2PGuest83887 RN: I obviously thought you were lying. You're hardly trustworthy.

RN wow. okaaay.

dr|z3d RN is +O, behave yourself mesh.

Irc2PGuest83887 though it would be cool if the dump included some more info about activity,size,and language. I guess this is a good start though.

dr|z3d *** chuckles. ***

cumlord forgot i was going to share this but here's the class of the multisnark thing cake.i2p/view/2HcYeHfLr5_2f1YJgQF6QuFHAPpc8jgGoJtf8gPXx_xGNatPKUjh/snarks

dr|z3d post it on ramble if you want it to be more widely available. backtick[your code]backtick

dr|z3d where backtick is that single open quote character.

cumlord I guess I could do that, planned to share it altogether when the cli part is less buggy, that’s just the class for parsing and sensing start/stop commands

cumlord I’ll share it later on there and discuss as is

dr|z3d whatever suits. remember you can edit an existing post once it's up so it always has the latest revision.

j6 ` != ' ;)

dr|z3d that was my point. I specified backtick, not single quote.

j6 yet also said "where backtick is that single open quote character" to confuse things

RN apostrophe vs single quote

dr|z3d it's not an apostrophe either. :)

j6 no, those two are the same

RN not on my keyboard

RN hmmm

zzz Klein fangirls ++

j6 ' is both apostrophe and single quote, just like - is both minus sign and hyphen

RN " and ' are on same key. ` is under ~

dr|z3d that's bit leftfield, zzz. wha?

j6 " and ' are on the opposite sides of the keyboard, diagonally, ` and ~ are on the opposite sides on the same row >;P

zzz you may safely ignore drz ))

RN *** snips a wire ***

j6 most unambiguous way to call ` is just "grave [accent]" ;P

snex backtick is backtick. usually on the tilde key

j6 "usually" is highly dependent on keyboard layout, but yeah

j6 anyway, when's ramble gonna get a signup (and make the password reset not give a 500 error, lol)

RN yeah, and careful j6 we are probably leaking what countries we got our keyboards from

RN LOL

j6 I have an altgr, my keyboard is superior to you double-alters

j6 æłŧŋ¶ →š ŧħ€ “€šŧ ĸ€← š→”¢€ ŧħ€ →”„€”ŧ→ø” øđ ŧħ€ µ€”↓ ĸ€←¡

j6 tbh that's prolly enough to figure out what keyboard layout I use, lol

j6 it's ALMOST readable even!

dr|z3d *** pokes zzz hard in the ribs. ***

RN :) almost

j6 mmm, ribs

RN ♫ ♪ baby back - baby back - baby back - ♪ ♫

snex thats just APL

snex i think its an APL program to solve reimann zeroes

RN ubikey?

RN that's what an LLM would say snex, clearly not aware of the conversation

snex an LLM would definitely not recognize j6's gibberish as standard characters from an APL keyboard

j6 because they aren't APL characters

j6 ←↓→↑ MIGHT be, the rest are definitely not

j6 lol

snex im pretty sure they are

RN I'm only unsure of the next to last word
