Very interesting! Thanks for running the survey and sharing the results.

See this is actually the crazy part to me. Not making more than one game at a time. Why didn't they just give these IPs to another team, or have some employees switch gears onto this project, or anything else they could have done to get some parallelism going on here.

Typically it is just unnecessary. And believe it or not VPNs will slow you down too.

Glad to hear it! I just felt an opportunity to share knowledge of what I was working with recently since qBittorrent added support for it.

Yeh I had tried torrenting on Tor a LONG time ago but people made it clear to not do that on Tor for one reason or another. But on i2p, the devs made a torrent client directly into the software. It was one of their features and something they want people to use.

That is correct. For geoblocked content only available in certain regions, a VPN is still useful. However, much of that content can be obtained through other methods. You could download it and use Plex/Jellyfin to stream it to Roku or Firestick.

Honestly that is fine. Just consider this to be one of the times you hear about I2P. I also don't typically start paying much attention to something unless I've heard it like 3 or more times.

So it looks like setup on ubuntu should be pretty straightforward. Follow these steps to install the java client as a package: https://geti2p.net/en/download/debian

Then under their Post-install work on the bottom of that page follow this:

as a service that automatically runs when your system boots, even before logging in. The service can be enabled with "dpkg-reconfigure i2p" as root or using sudo. This is the recommended means of operation.

That will cause i2p to automatically run at startup. You can use the other methods there if you don't want that behavior. Lastly, you'll need to configure a browser to use i2p. https://geti2p.net/en/about/browser-config

Firefox is a good one to use for it but you can use librewolf or another one.

And I think that's it as far as setup for ubuntu. Let me know if you have more questions : )

I was interested in trying NixOS before after many years of Linux experience but I couldn't understand what advantages it had over my current setup. It just mostly seemed more complicated than it needed to be for little to no gain.

The reproducibility aspect of it can be achieved on other Linux platforms or in other environments so it wasn't a big draw for me. I already have backups too. Making it easily deployable seems like the same use case as for instance, docker, which is available everywhere already.

I love projects like this though so I fully support it!

That's fair. I like proton : )

It just works

This sounds like a great idea but I'm wondering if this is best to go into the UI of an app, for instance. Making the lists of multi-subreddits easily sharable would be a big plus, that way it isn't just one person who controls who is allowed into the multi-subreddit.
