Interesting.

It looks I was close on my understanding, but not quite there. Lol, guess I’ll need to bust this back open.

So, if I recall correctly, I had to set up a device as an i2p server (seems like they were super light weight and you could configure your phone to do it) and then you could use your browser of choice with the “i2p server” as a proxy.

Its my understanding that each of the “i2p servers” acted as both an entry point and an exit point. That is to say, while my traffic entered the network there, there were other people’s traffic that could be routed through and/or exit via my server.

Am I wrong on that assessment?

Yeah, I don’t think it was confirmed to be suicide, but it sure looks a lot like suicide.

I guess what I mean to say is that I wonder what he’d be up to if he hadn’t done that.

Completely agree.

Kinda get the vibe that guy I’m replying to is asking for the times when its actually needed. If I’ve got the wrong mark there and they’re looking for daily driving, then Mullvad VPN (or comparable) is probably the better way to go.

Yeah, I remember reading about it a few years ago. Guy seems really talented, if kinda crazy and pretty racist. Curious to see where he’d be today if he hadn’t lost his marbles.

Side note, isn’t TempleOS not Linux based?

Seems like the creator (forget his name) had some beef with Linus Torvalds and was originally trying to build something to get away from his software, no?

Edit: yeah, based on the Wikipedia Page, it looks like its not based on the Linux Kernel. Also dev’s name was Terry Davis.

And most likely Beibian too!

Probably TOR.

I hear I2P had a lot of potential, but also a lot of issues. Haven’t checked up on that project in a bit. I know it was a BITCH to set up when I tried plinking with it some years ago.

So TOR (despite the latency/speed issues and its own security concerns) is still probably about as good as it gets.

The near symmetry, ah, I see weve found the true Vorin solution.

Yeah fam, “fam” is hella lit.

Naw fam, gotta get that GPS in braille form

I really like your way of explaining that.

It still feels dirty, but when is war and geopolitics ever actually clean? I feel a lot more heartened that this was the right choice after reading your response.

I understand the sanctions part and wanting to head off any potential state interference with projects like this, but “infosec reasons” feels very hand wavy.

I think I’d be a lot more comfortable if we had seen malicious/bad faith actions/communications or maybe some more specific and tangible reasons to suspect them being compromised on the part of the Russian maintainers before they were just removed.

I don’t think I get what you mean when you say “Walled Garden” in this context. Can you elaborate?

Interesting. Ugh, I feel the need to go peek at it now, but I also expect to really not like it. Oh well, here goes.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of the microblog format, but I’m pretty sure everyone here is going to agree that Mastodon is the superior Twitter replacement.

Oh no, now we have to ban them all?? What a shame!

Sorry, was definitely reading this 90% asleep as I rolled out of bed. Thanks for the extra link anyway.

Can you pass a link?

Haven’t played Origins, but I’ve spent a lot of time with Odyssey which has my highest recommendation.

From a friend who’s opinion I trust, I’ve been told Origins is the less fleshed out version of Odyssey. He says that Origins started Assassin’s Creed on a new RPG focused track that really just worked for Origins and Odyssey (he claims they biffed Valhalla).
