Especially with the Easy Install Bundle for Windows. Sets everything up for you.

If you’re using it to browse webpages on the clearnet then yes, it’s slower, because that’s not the use-case for i2p. I’ve seen speeds around 1MBit/s which isn’t lightning fast, but also not terrible for an anonymous network.

Get StreetComplete while you’re at it and help improve the maps in a Pokemon-Go style mobile game.

That’s because you’re using it for a purpose it wasn’t intended. I2P isn’t designed to be used to browse the regular internet, for that it’s better to use TOR. However for anonymous torrenting or accessing i2p-sites, it’s quite fast imho.

Is it much slower though? I know it was, but is it still true? I get decent speeds on my torrents.

That’s a shame, I still remember mine. Weird how you can remember 7 random digits from 30 years ago…

Depends on your definition of very slow. I’m currently getting 1MBps which is alright.

Currently testing it. 20 peers. 1.5GB. Takes about 20 min.

I’m using StreetComplete to contribute to OpenStreetmap almost daily.

Does that count?

As far as I know i2p doesn’t have a distributed file system. I think you can run Tahoe-LAFS over it, but it looks complex. Never tried it.

But if netflix is just a nice gui over S3, then a nice gui over freenet should be simple. Right? Not that I could do it, but I like the idea.

Freenet is a distributed file system. Imagine a useful front end to that where you could upload your content and also subscribe to other people or content. Could be awesome. Too bad I can’t code for shit.

With some filters so that you can specify file type, quality, etc…

Then I could share my aquarium videos with the world, anonymously and easily.

Same.

There’s no working windows version of iMule is there? I haven’t found it if there is.

That’s… not great.

Still, zlatinb doesn’t seem to be involved anymore, and the software is still interesting.

Also included in the zip file I think. I took it all from the torrent.

Edit: Apparently not in the zip, just checked, but @kivullallo provided the link to the source.

Most people have shit dads? Really?

I have doubts, but I’m sorry you feel that way.

Agreed. I mean COBOL is still a thing, and that’s a language that’s been dead for 30+ years.

Brexit

To be fair to the French, they do try to stop the boats. For example: https://www.thelocal.fr/20230902/tighter-french-coast-patrols-in-place-to-stop-channel-migrants

However what went missing after Brexit was the Dublin convention where migrants could be turned back to the first EU country they entered, in this case France.

I think the government tried to negotiate a returns agreement with the french who basically just said “Non!” and that was it. There is a deal where the UK pays France to patrol their coastline and stop migrants however. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong about this last part.
