Kimwolf Botnet Swamps Anonymity Network I2P #63863 (github)

LOL. Looks like someone had their entire botnet connect to the network, though it wasnt malicious.

As for this idea, it sounds alot like that monero development program which has progress trackers and rewards, which does seem to work somewhat well for getting stuff done, atleast in the monero community.

Would you rather have a big community, or a few people who actually are competent? The problem with having a big community is that it becomes diluted with irrelevant people and eventually enshittified, as seen with your previous chat. It would make more sense to focus on building connections to actual competent and like minded people, instead of having a big place for discord privacy refugees and the like.

Found this: https://git.sr.ht/~shrub900/neuswc “a fork of swc with many more features and fixes implemented, including wallpapers, screenshots, and better cursor handling”

Pretty sure its from the derive linux guys… they seem to be doing alot of good work at making wayland “suck less”.

Shut up and post 2hu.

“easy” is a stretch. Another user already posted about this:

"My understanding of i2p is that it’s extremely difficult to have any impact with DDOS on the i2p network. It’s basically impossible if you cycle your Id and eepsite. Who ever is doing the attack on the network has to have a huge margin of the bandwidth to control/ throttle data. It’s how the network protects itself from these types of things specifically, and why many tor users switched, including myself a few years ago when tor was on a month long ddos site hostage situations constantly and most services couldn’t be accessed.

This literally shouldn’t be possible unless someone is hosting an absurd amount of the network. Like a letter agency or some entity similar.

This kinda of is a validation to me that invisible internet is a optimistic dream rather then a reality we can strive for away from abusive surveillance."

r*****n spotted

yeah, what the other guy said, didnt reddit already exist?

freer

i just told you how its not, unless you mean “free software”

private

debatable

Matrix

sucks

people, even in so-called hackers/nerds/privacy communities, tend to use whatever’s popular and convenient at the moment, not what’s “good”

fair point, but odd of you to assume that XMPP is whats popular at the moment, when its probably the most least used thing. i mean, just join a few chats, youre bound to see mostly the same names in every roster. maybe its convenient, especially for phone users, but thats neither here nor there. XMPP clients themselves have alot of issues, that is no secret. also, if youre relying on a “smart” phone for communications, how much do you really care about privacy? i bring this question up because you said “user-friendly clients (including mobile ones)”. as for “hacker/nerd” communities, ive managed to find much more productive ones on IRC, and barely any active ones on XMPP, especially if you have more niche interests.

Not that I’m defending those blacklists, but it doesn’t change the fact that server operators aren’t forced to implement them, right?

yes, youre correct. but its still a problem when a large portion of the federated network implements it, because even if you dont use it, your server or JID can be added to it, and youre still blocked from a large portion of the network.

Edit: a solution might be to try and convince other server operators to stop using it, but good luck with that.

In which ways did you find it limited?

A friend recommended ministral 3b. On your own hardware. Runs on “lower end” equipment.

So it might also be that these people are so greedy they can’t stand paying anyone to make their own stuff.

Cloudflare also offers paid services, i know many people who use them.
