I live an ad-free life since about 2010. But I do wonder what it’s like to see targeted ads.

Porn torrents on i2p work. But i2p is too slow for streaming.

Living somewhere that makes 90+% of its electricity from hydro, I am slightly confused.

Just perform a safety squint.

Why not make it be for bicycle repairs instead?

I2P is for whatever people put on it. It’s all the Internet services that already can exist, specifically behind a piece of software such as i2pd for example. It’s free, just setup i2p software on a computer. Then you can make some local services visible to it, for example a web server.

You can do whatever you want on i2p. Nobody knows who you are.

It feels like Microsoft doesn’t remember how Cortana was received. Why don’t you fix Windows’ file search instead?

Am I the only one that would never change a car? Like you buy one, shouldn’t you keep it for 60 years? Why should anyone want to change a car? I had to change my car once because I’m Canadian so it rusted. It was awful.

I built my PC in 2003. I upgraded it 3 times. I still use the same case.

How times have changed. If you have used Windows 98, you were always the administrator. Your five years old brother could actually go around deleting random system files.

To bring some nuance here: many times “antifa” labels anything that’s different as fascist without doing proper research. For example, people doing viking/medieval cosplay for fun. Not to say that antifa are terrorists, just to say usually they are oppressing people by false accusations in my experience.

Every british tech-literate person should participate in I2P. The Internet should be freedom.

For a short moment, I thought it was a legit teletype…

You are confusing unique local adresses and link local addresses. Unique local adresses can only be configured manually or, in theory, with DHCPv6. On Debian, I edit the file “/etc/network/interfaces.d/<interface name>”:

• auto <interface name>
• iface <interface name> inet dhcp
• iface <interface name> inet6 static

•     address <unique local adress of your choice within the official range>
  

•     autoconf 1
  

•     accept_ra 2
  

•     privext
  

This gives you: autoconfigured IPv4 address, autoconfigured (slaac) IPv6 address, an IPv6 unique local address, temporary IPv6 adresses (privacy extensions) and your IPv6 link local address.

Yes, your ISP provides you a large quantity of adresses. Not really, the adresses has several parts. Your ISP provides you with the prefix. Your devices complete the rest of the address automatically. You can also use a DHCPv6 server, but I don’t and some devices don’t support it anyway. Yes, all those adresses are globally routable, they are “Internet” adresses. You can still use locally routable adresses too if you want, called Unique local address (look it up on Wikipedia), but that requires manual configuration.

If you don’t use IPv6, you are behind. For me the transition was so hard, it’s a big step behind me, wouldn’t want to do it again.

I’m fully transitioned. The first step was getting an Internet provider that featured it. I had to change providers for that. Then I had to find equipment that worked. Some of the things that have an early implementation of IPv6 don’t actually work. It’s like they never actually tested it. Then I had to integrate IPv6 in the way everything worked. I’m a big user of unique local adresses, which I feel isn’t a really well known feature.

I’m surprised by the comments here. I use 90% IPv6. For me v4 is only present for retro compatibility. The transition was hard however.

What if we all started using I2P for most stuff? The governments couldn’t do anything about it.
