I’ve picked up running an i2p node again for the last few weeks since I feel it’s a safer thing to use considering my governments recent shitbaggery, and while it’s hard to find a fair amount of niche shit the clearnet/recent stuff actually downloads at a decent rate.

The more people start firing up nodes now, the better it’ll become down the line hopefully.

Download Wikipedia, seed Anna’s archive for a ratio of 2.1+ and then turn it off.

Turn it on again in 2 years time and observe.

Call it astroturfing, call it naivety, call it coercive behaviour or whatever.

But you bought your phone which has the latest upstream release of updates from the OEM. People then coming in and telling you that Google is bad is fucking ironic to me.

I get it; I self host a fair amount of things locally these days but not solely because of politics and more, frugality? But chiding others for sharing what is a simple post of “hey guys, I got this shit early” is bollocks and I’ll call each and every time.

Shakes head.

Wow.

So you can sleep well knowing that soon your data is going to be used for training AI that Mills children in Gaza?

You really are that puddled in the head you need to bring in external politics to someone sharing that their device that they bought, without someone telling them to use third party software instead, getting an update early?

It’s called projection and it smells worse than your mum’s knickers.

I’ve kinda been struggling with Qbit and Ubuntu in this regard (+time at work is killing me).

Default repo gives up Qbit v4.6.3 but doesn’t have libtorrent-raster-v2 and has only v1 but then, Qbit v5.0.4 (I think it’s that version but on my phone) doesn’t give up the i2p connection?

Anyone help out a noobie.ish wanting to give bandwidth out yet again (since the UK gov is being silly again) or, is there development for i2psnark at last?

Looks like a Rover 820 to me

I don’t think I’d feel “attacked” but more impressed that I came to light if they sent me them very much like a naughty “copyright warning” and would send it back with a brick in it.

Cheers!

I regularly get letters from the power company about how I’m using like 3x the power of the average person in my type of unit.

I’m also using a lot of self hosted things but have never received any of those.

Where do you reside generally where they’re sending them because it ain’t a thing here in the UK?

Really appreciated, and you use either of these?

I am finding it difficult to find a reliable Cloud service

I’ll tell ya what I have issue with.

Tailscale allows me and others to access our own locally hosted storage but requires a SSO provider. Currently using Google and Github I ain’t too confident with that and would love others thoughts on how to self host it?

Like I say over in the comments on that post I had to literally switch bank accounts because of (ineptitude|poor pay) the customer service agents not being able to reset my password outside of using their “app” on an Android phone.

Curious if others have had similar issues.

I literally had to switch bank accounts because I couldn’t reset my password “on the web” and required me to use Virgin Money’s app.

Customer service agent(s) on the phone after prolonged discussions why their app wouldn’t work on three Android phones right in front of me surfaced, and I shit you not

Well sir, I have my iPhone here and can login just fine maybe you should buy one of those instead

That day I found out about this

Aye!

I think one of the most concerning things for me thou recently is Google Play just chucking off dev’s apps from the Store because they don’t update them at a rate of knots / some arbitrary thing that hasn’t been disclosed to devs or left in a puddle of legalese in the TOS :/

I’ve too noticed the very same thing even over in the piracy community where they’re complaining about the use of AI art for banner / post images.

It’s kinda one of those irrational hates when like you guys say it’s an insta downvote for the content.

So yeah, upvoted (after reading the fucking article content)

I think your concerns about lack of updates is something while it worries some, I find it nice when updates are released only when it’s stable.

If you check the devs history they reviewed a pull on KISS launcher itself back in Nov

https://github.com/Neamar/KISS/pull/2345#issuecomment-2496214318

and I like slow burner builds and especially when the devs make the app for themselves to use like this one ;)

We could certainly have mods for this default community too, that’s not crucial to the idea.

It is thou, and why /r/reddit.com got archived eventually since the reddit admins (mods) couldn’t keep up.

Where do you pool them from?

This research aims to examine whether a preference for popular music of a specific era still exists and whether it still follows a non-monotonic non monolithic relationship with age.

I went with a typo at first :/

So furthering on this would shunting things to a !bucket@instance.com (maybe a somewhat better named community since I’m terribad at these things might work better…) within Instances but still viewable and crosspost-able by other, Instance users?

This would negate the need for a global admin since the Instance could have mods of that particular /c/, allowing the other Instance admins to review it for suitably if and when they drop in?

Because you’re trusting and paying two third parties instead of one? Like I say - my provider I imagine is dumping the copyright violations directly in the bin these days and if I wanted to really get off the clearnet and things went to shit I would simply spin up an I2P node/moar bandwidth if I was really concerned.

But I’m not currently, and find it weird how many want us to use things hosted in a different country which might be at any time under obligation to release all my details to a foreign entity. Each to their own and all.
