I figure if its running all the time, it will use battery and data in the background, since it will be doing encryption and routing traffic. The last time I used an i2p router on my phone was over a year ago, I was using it to access my Invidious instance, I was using i2pd and had the bandwidth set to unlimited, it was running on public wifi, so it wasnt port forwarded or accessible outside of the LAN, I dont remember exactly what it said it used in bandwidth before I shut it down, but it was less than 100mb, idk what the battery was at before I turned it off, but it ran for about 2 hours that day.

Idk if im allowed to link it here, but for anyone having trouble accessing TG, they offer an onion service on tor, which is gonna be a whole lot harder to block, you can find the link on their official proxy list

You should crosspost this to !i2p@lemmy.world

Sure, the steps are different depending on which i2p router you are using, for i2pd, you just have to add a file in your tunnels.d directory, or add an entry in your tunnels.conf and then reload the tunnel configuration. In Java i2p, you will have to do it through the gui.

Here is the link to the tunnel config for i2pd: http://i2pcraft.i2p/example/i2pdtunnel.html And here is a link to a screenshot of Java i2p: http://i2pcraft.i2p/img/config.png

The tunnel length can be reduced to 1 for better performance, but you will sacrifice some anonymity.

But once the tunnel is setup and running, you can use Minecraft 1.19.2, or a newer version with ViaFabricPlus and connect to 127.0.0.1:25565. Its an anarchy server, but its pretty chill, I heard there is an iron farm and trained villagers for anyone to use near spawn, but I havent seen them. It is a cracked server, so you will have to use /register and save your password somewhere.

The other server is at mc.r4sas.i2p, I couldnt copy any links from there, I think its down rn, but the instructions for i2pcraft should be pretty much the same, just a different address. But I think its a russian speaking server, all of the players ive seen on i2pcraft speak english.

I dont use the outproxies for ssh, but it should be possible to connect to my server using its clearnet address using one of the outproxies. I have i2pd running on my server 24/7, and an entry in the tunnels.conf file that points to 127.0.0.1:22 on the server. When I want to connect to it, Ill run another i2p router on whatever device im connecting to, and Ill put the ".b32.i2p" address into ssh while using the SOCKS proxy for it. It is possible to make a client entry in the tunnels.conf on whatever device you are connecting from, and you can even turn the hops down to 1, which will increase performance, but lower anonymity. I think by default the SOCKS proxy uses 3 hops, but it can be changed.

But it should totally be possible to run your own private VPN over i2p, but Ive never done it myself, I just use ssh to port forward all of my self hosted stuff.

There are exit nodes in i2p, but they are called outproxies. The most popular ones are exit.stormycloud.i2p, purokishi.i2p, and outproxy.acetone.i2p. To setup an outproxy, you will have to setup software external to i2p, i2p routers by themselves will never exit. It is possible to visit onion domains inside of i2p, StormyClouds's outproxy has support for this, but from what ive heard, its recommended to use none of these, and to just use the tor browser if you need to access onion sites or the clearnet anonymously.

There are many use cases for i2p besides eepsites and torrenting, pretty much anything that runs on TCP can prolly be ran on i2p. For example, I run my servers ssh over i2p, so if my ip address were to change for whatever reason, the i2p address will remain the same. There are also IRC services, internet radio stations, there are even 2 public Minecraft servers.

Nheko is my favourite client, it uses QT and is written in C++, its lightweight and works well on my machines with low resources, it also respects my system theme

I made this userscript to put the vote count in comments back beside the vote button because the new one is kind of hard to see, its not the prettiest script (idk much about javascript), but I've tested it in Librewolf with Violentmonkey and it does work, hope it helps someone else!

I think it kinda looks like a lollipop

What a bunch of cringe edgy antinatalist nonsense. Think about the future, if you don't have kids, who are we gonna feed to the machine a few decades from now?

I figure that the administrators of your homeserver could see your IP address, I doubt that it would be sent to anyone you are just chatting with.

Ive only had to setup a nvidia system once, so I might be missing some packages, but I think pacman -Rns nvidia nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils should get rid of all of it.

WARNING: doing this will absolutely DESTROY YOUR SYSTEM, PERMANENTLY!!!

But if you wish to continue, you can erase all the EFI variables using the rm utility, I dont think you will be able to completely zero out the chip on the system from inside of Linux as its read-only.

But to delete all the EFI variables, cd into /sys/firmware/efi/efivars, if this directory is not availiable, either the efivarfs is not mounted, or you are booted in legacy BIOS mode. But once you are in this directory, run chattr -i ./* as root or sudo to remove the immutable bit on all the files, then run rm ./* as root. This WILL break your system. Only do this if you know how to restore your system using like a chip programmer.

This happened to me too. I had to grab the box that comes up and resize it like I would with a normal window, mine glitched a lot when I tried it, try resizing it as far as you can, it will try and glitch back, but just keep fighting it until it becomes a usable size, then log out of Plasma and log back in, and then you can size it back down to a normal size. Hopefully there will be an official fix for this soon

What about something like this:

for i in /media/johann/5461-000B/DCIM/100MEDIA/*.AVI; do newpath="$HOME/Public/240321/$(basename "$i" | sed 's/^IMAG/240321_/g')"; ffmpeg -i "$i" -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:00:20 "$newpath" && rm "$i"; done

If its just / owned by the mint user, you should just able to run chown root:root / as root/sudo, dont use -R. This should make root become the owner of /. Now if all files and directories in the partition are owned by the mint user, this might be a bigger problem

Alright, could you see what the root variable is in the grub console before manually setting it by running echo $root, and if it prints anything, could you run ls / in the grub console and see if you see like home dev etc, or the directories you would expect to see in / inside linux, and if you do see anything, could you run ls /boot/grub/ and see if you see grub.cfg. But if you are already inside linux, go ahead and install grub with --removable, it wont overwrite your current installation. I dont want you to format the efi partition, incase something goes wrong and you wont be able to boot into linux at all

I think anything that can be done with a fresh format can be done with the current one, when you ran grub-install after the issue with not running it as root, did you only do it with --removable? If so, the old grub is might be getting picked over the new grub installed at the removable fallback path, because it has a proper entry in the boot order. I dont know what key it is on your system, but if you can get into the boot order menu where it shows all the different boot devices, like where you can pick where you want to boot from, id look for one that just says something like "UEFI boot " or something like along those lines, it wont say like grub or your distro name, if there is such an option available, could you try booting from that option?
