Waze is google these days. They bought it some time ago.

Friendly reminder that i2p exists and that you can torrent your cat videos without exposing yourself to your dog loving isp.

Especially with the Easy Install Bundle for Windows. Sets everything up for you.

If you’re using it to browse webpages on the clearnet then yes, it’s slower, because that’s not the use-case for i2p. I’ve seen speeds around 1MBit/s which isn’t lightning fast, but also not terrible for an anonymous network.

That’s because you’re using it for a purpose it wasn’t intended. I2P isn’t designed to be used to browse the regular internet, for that it’s better to use TOR. However for anonymous torrenting or accessing i2p-sites, it’s quite fast imho.

Is it much slower though? I know it was, but is it still true? I get decent speeds on my torrents.

That’s a shame, I still remember mine. Weird how you can remember 7 random digits from 30 years ago…

Isn’t this what the new Freenet aims for? A truly decentralized, but not necessarily anonymous, network?

Take StreetComplete with you when you’re out and do pokemon-style quests while at the same time improve the map of the area you’re in.
It’s very fun and quite addictive, and the data you’re providing is open source so it’s not free labour for some huge company.

OpenStreetmap as an alternative to the closed source maps.

OrganicMaps or OsmAnd to navigate and StreetComplete or EveryDoor to improve it.

Depends on your definition of very slow. I’m currently getting 1MBps which is alright.

Currently testing it. 20 peers. 1.5GB. Takes about 20 min.

I’m using StreetComplete to contribute to OpenStreetmap almost daily.

Does that count?

As far as I know i2p doesn’t have a distributed file system. I think you can run Tahoe-LAFS over it, but it looks complex. Never tried it.

But if netflix is just a nice gui over S3, then a nice gui over freenet should be simple. Right? Not that I could do it, but I like the idea.

Freenet is a distributed file system. Imagine a useful front end to that where you could upload your content and also subscribe to other people or content. Could be awesome. Too bad I can’t code for shit.

With some filters so that you can specify file type, quality, etc…

Then I could share my aquarium videos with the world, anonymously and easily.

Same.

There’s no working windows version of iMule is there? I haven’t found it if there is.

That’s… not great.

Still, zlatinb doesn’t seem to be involved anymore, and the software is still interesting.
