Is the I2P network growing? (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Murks@discuss.tchncs.de to c/i2p@lemmy.world

Hi, I'm new to I2P and wondering, if the network is growing or shrinking.

I have a small VPS that had little to do, so I run a router there. My router knows of 8,700 other routers (that's pretty constant).

  • Would this be a good measure to estimate on how big the network is?
  • Do you have a similar number of known routers?
  • And is the network growing or shrinking?

Thank you.

I had this issue with sponsored websites. It took me a while to figure it out, but this resolved it for me:

When you just disable showing sponsors, Firefox will still autocomplete them.

  • You have to let FF show those sponsors on the homescreen.
  • Then remove them one by one from the homescreen.
  • After all are removed, you can again disable the sponsors in the settings.

If this guide is too vague, I can be more explicit.

Of course posts older than a day are still useful. But how useful is an experience report on an OS that is over 2 years old? I have no idea about Void Linux, but whenever I seek a tutorial on something, I limit the search to 1 year, because stuff changes. Take the discussions on VPNs recently for example. For many people a lot changed due to policy changes from some VPNs. All threads regarding those VPNs that are older than 3 months should be viewed as archived.

One could argue that a post from programming humor is still as funny as it was 2 years ago. But I don't want to see the same post over and over again, just because someone wrote a comment in it. And old posts aren't gone and can be found if one wants to. But I don't want posts to stay on my front page for years.

This makes lemmy almost not usable for me. If I sort posts by active or hot, I get 80% posts that are older than 2 years. Always with new comments.

I belive that fixing the sorting algorithms is extremely important for lemmys success.

Well, there is a simple solution to stop contributing to unnecessary animal suffering. Becoming vegan will not prevent this from happening tomorrow. But at least you (if you are not yet vegan) are no longer responsible for it.

I use posteo.net for 10 years now, and I am super happy with them. I don't get spam, and I have never missed an email.

They choose not to use a spam folder system, and I understand their reasoning, and agree with them.

They sometimes get criticized for some other decision (something to do with certificates, if I remember correctly), but after reading their reasoning, I agree with them.

In my experience, they have now real downside, and I recommend them to everyone I know when they come to me with email problems.

That is what I do for most German movies. It only takes half a minute so get the audio-video delay right at the beginning.

And maybe 1/30 movies will not work, because the sources have different pacing.
