     @charliebrownau @Paultron I already explained in this blog post that I'm planning on setting up my own XMPP, IRC, and email servers on I2P only once I finally get OpenSMTPd to function, and once I get i2pd itself to function:
     http://asc7ewkcvat2wsoi5yuwkej5ukyrqqnpnzpj4u34r2jxnoxhnbx6yqad.onion/blog/are-you-a-tech-jew/
     
     I have no hopes left for the clearnet, and Tor seems to get subverted bit by bit, which is why I chose for I2P.

     It is true that the ilita.i2p userbase is mostly Russian but anyone that uses I2P needs to understand a bit of russian anyways.
     What I2P needs is a Matrix instance, I remember someone hosting it a few months before but it's not up anymore.
     If you're having connectivity issues with i2pd you can set the connection length to 1 or 2.

     Is it really that big in Roshan?
     Makes sense considering the worldwide Russophobia going on in current year, though I didn't know this little detail.
     But my Roshan knowledge doesn't get anywhere beyond "suka" and "blyat", but learning the language is pretty high on my todo list right now, considering we might be getting a massive influx of Russians over the next few years, seeing how the whole Ukraina vs Roshan psyop is here to stay for the time being.

     @ryo @charliebrownau @Paultron I literally have no idea what you're talking about, since there are incredibly old routers on I2P that don't even support NTCP2(althought they did get deprecated as SSU is obsolete now). Maybe you're using i2pd in your distro's repos-compile it yourself or download it from github. https://github.com/purplei2p/i2pd

     @kleeneks @charliebrownau @Paultron I got a self compiled version, but it was on 2.41.
     I installed 2.44 now, and now it works again.
     The i2pd documentation (which had to be accessed using an archive because it's Cuckflared) has instructions on how to set up XMPP and IRC servers over I2P, which is very convenient.
     
     Next question: how do I make browsers see .i2p links as websites instead of search queries?

     @ryo @charliebrownau @Paultron First of all, don't you feel like browsing I2P over a normal browser will make you stand out? Unpack this in a new tor browser profile and launch it. As for your question, .i2p is not a proper TLD, so you should write reg.i2p/ instead of reg.i2p to force the browser to access the site. The above-mentioned tor browser profile also solves this issue by treating everything you type in the URL bar as a link. Make sure you erase the new tor browser profile before unpacking.

     @charliebrownau @kleeneks @Paultron Tor the protocol is separate from Tor Browser the browser though.
     You don't have to use the Tor Browser in order to use the Tor network, it basically only exists to get normies more comfortable.
     
     All you need to do is disable JS by default, and your choice of browser should no longer matter.

     There's actually more about the metatdata thing, about what useragent you choose. For example, after Firefox 92 it seems to be using HTTP2 by default and accept headers are also different. There's also TLS fingerprinting, etc.

     No, I don't think they are purposefully changed for fingerprinting. Fingerprinting is just collecting and comparing what features you have (or not), so there's no such "new ways" or not - everything you send (or not) can be profiled. If you are interested you can read my site. Although it's a bit incomplete but you can get the idea. I will probably add more details 2 weeks later (written in my "future plans" page).

     CDNs must fucking die, the only reason it still doesn't die is because all browsers still keep allowing it.
     Just host all your stuff on your own domain or subdomain, anything not in your control can be linked to using "a href" tags.

     @ryo Funny thing about Nvidia is that from what I heard, their hardware doesn't require proprietary firmware like AMD does, so on Librebooted systems, you actually can use their GPUs. So AMD is better for systems with proprietary firmware, but without it, you basically have no choice, though I think really old AMD GPUs may work. Even only with Nouveau, at least it's something other than integrated graphics. I haven't tested that yet because I'm in no position to buy more hardware, but eventually I want to get a GA-G41M-ES2L motherboard and Libreboot it, and get a GPU and see if it works. They were pretty cheap last time I checked, and they should stay that way as long as some YouTuber doesn't meme Librebooted desktops. If it works (and of course, I don't know from experience that it actually does), you maybe can build a reasonably affordable fully free system with better graphics than a ThinkPad. That's a big maybe, though, that's if it actually works well enough, and the only way to know is to give it a shot. Of course, OpenBSD would not work on that system. But FreeBSD could. And of course, GuixSD and Hyperbola and others.

     @TerminalAutism AMD's Ryzen GPU's are open source drivers, not libre, but still OSS, so libre drivers can be made out of it.
     Nvidia outright refuses to open source their drivers even though they keep using open source code all the time, so Nouveau will never get at the level the proprietary Nvidia drivers are, and if it does then the card is already long outdated.
     
     Don't forget that your average Nvidia user tends to be a PC gamer, so to them by the time Nouveau finally supports the graphics card these gamers use, the gamers have long replaced it for a newer one.

     @ryo More about that motherboard later, but first, the point about Nvidia:
     
     I know about the drivers. I'm saying that you can't run AMD GPUs on Librebooted hardware, because they require proprietary firmware, which is where they get you. That's why you can't use the AMD GPUs in Librebooted ThinkPads. But apparently, you can use Nvidia, presumably with Nouveau. So if you want to go 100% free but still have a more recent GPU, you have to use Nvidia. Unless I'm getting this wrong, this is all from random things I read (I think in threads about people trying to get GPUs working on the ThinkPad Advanced Dock's PCIe port.
     
     I want to test this myself eventually, on one of those cheap motherboards, but haven't yet. But if it's true, Nvidia is more free software-friendly than AMD, despite trying their hardest to be worse. So, AMD is known as the supposedly free software-friendly corporation (which they're not, again, they require proprietary firmware, and they repeatedly refused to open source the PSP, because they are hiding a bunch of spyware in there and they don't want you to know, they are no better than Intel, they are like the Donald Trump of CPUs), but the free x86 systems almost all have Intel CPUs (there are those AMD server boards, but I don't remember anything else), and the only GPUs that work are Nvidia's.
     
     So, AMD will pretend to be your friend if you want to go 99% free, but if you want to go 100%, you have to go Nvidia, and deal with the free drivers, but at least it's possible.
     
     Anyway, the actual motherboard is this:
     https://libreboot.org/docs/hardware/ga-g41m-es2l.html
     
     I think it MIGHT work. Seems like you don't have video initialization on the more recent version of Libreboot, but you don't need it if you use a GPU. On the other hand, video initialization works with an older version, but then PCIe doesn't work. Worth a try, maybe. Maybe there's more information out there. It's cheap, though. Just don't tell JewToobers about it or the price will go up by 10 times.

     @TerminalAutism Yes, except I was talking specifically about my gaming desktop when I mentioned having a Ryzen card, and gaming desktops can't be librebooted anyway, not even corebooted.
     But even then, I only ever use my gaming PC when playing ga(y)mes, for all else I'm using one of the ThinkPads.

     I ran into a recent crashing issue with both integrated and discrete amdgpus on my Linux box:
     
     https://battlepenguin.com/technology/i-try-sway-wayland-about-once-a-year/
     
     ..and in switching things around I can confirm some things. Yes, `amdgpu` has a bunch of binary blob firmware (usually in `/lib/firmware/amdgpu`) for each generation of card. Also, AMD use to have closed source drivers for Linux as well. I remember around 2014 I switched from the closed source to the open source drivers on Linux and was shocked at how bad the closed source drivers were! Like the open source drivers were light and day better ... AMD eventually abandoned their own drivers and started contributing to the open source project, only after they had gotten a bunch working on their own.
     
     I'm not sure if nVidia is just more complex or not enough people care, but the noveanu drivers still kinda suck. They crashed all the time on a 970 I tried recently and they didn't work at all on my work laptop. If noveanu got to the point where amdgpu was a few years back, nvidia might have taken the same course with Linux.

     From my understanding of the matter, AMD has always had some transparency that allowed the community to build the open source drivers, even if AMD didn't contribute actual man hours.

     Meanwhile, Nvidia has always been completely locked down. Nouveau is just the result of reverse engineering and nothing more. Which always meant it was limited in what it could achieve.

     @djsumdog @ryo AMD's drivers are better, but that's not really my point, the point is what I heard about the firmware requirements. As far as Nouveau goes, I haven't had a GPU in years other than on my 2008 ThinkPad. I think it worked pretty well with the last Nvidia GPU I had. And I say think because the system itself was an absolute disaster, but that's because the motherboard itself was defective. Everything I installed on it broke for no reason, it was ridiculous. My favorite computer ever was full AMD, though. Had a Phenom II X6 and 8 GB of RAM. It was the first computer that I ever owned that made me feel "okay, this is so fast that I will never have to upgrade, and it has practically infinite RAM". And I think it may have been one of the last CPUs that AMD made that didn't have the PSP (I think that started around 2012, while Intel started in 2008, and I a lot of Core 2 Duos already had it, but could be disabled on Librebootable machines).
     
     I still ran Windows at the time, but the computer was so good that it ran a single Windows 7 install from beginning to end, and it never got slow (which is a big deal, because it's fucking Windows). Unfortunately, it got completely destroyed during a storm, in 2017. I also lost over 3 TB of files because my storage drive was damaged, and it was encrypted, and I couldn't decrypt it to recover anything, and at the time, I had never had a drive failure in my entire life (because I kept getting bigger ones every few years), so I didn't have backups. I was a fucking retard for that, of course, and I went from that to being paranoid about bit rot and about cosmic rays potentially damaging my files, and wanting to build a Faraday cage to try to protect a tape archive from the next Carrington event.
     
     Anyway, what a great computer. I have no negative memories of it, other than losing it. And then the computer that I got after it was an absolute nightmare. I took way too long to realize and accept that the motherboard itself was fucked up. Also, I think it may have been damaging things that were connected to it as well, because holy shit, the amount of stuff that while I used that thing was unbelievable. I felt like I had a status ailment that reduced my luck stat to a negative value. Multiple drive failures during just a couple of years, and two dead GPUs, and everything that I installed on it would implode sooner or later (Windows was more stable, some distributions didn't fully work at all, they couldn't even run X, and Arch worked for a few days and then just broke completely even though I didn't change a single thing and didn't even update). Ridiculous. And then since then, I have been using nothing but integrated graphics. And then two of my three monitors died too, and my entire life was fucked up by the world government, and I didn't even get a lot of my escapism in return because my systems can't run it. Luck: -99.

     @ryo Well, for gaming, I would just use a normal desktop running Windows 7 (or older for older games), if I had one. The PC games themselves are proprietary and nowadays probably spyware as well. At that point, the drivers matter even less. Anyway, I don't have that. Though even if I did, I only have one monitor, and I do have a VGA switch, but it makes everything blurry, so I can't use it. If it wasn't for that, I would use another computer to at least play 2000s games on integrated graphics.

     @djsumdog @charliebrownau @Paultron The problems:
     ・Python is bloated, slow, and breaks whenever a dependency of a dependency of a dependency of a dependency of a dependency of a dependency of a dependency gets updated somewhere.
     ・Java is owned by Oracle, bloated, slow, forced OOPs and forced IDE, retarded syntax.
     ・C# is owned and made by Microshaft, forced OOPs, used to be WinDOS only for a very long time, pseudo-dependence on the .NET Framework (possible to replace with Mono, but even Novell needs to cowtow to Microshaft because 99% of its devs use .NET), though it's at least the lesser evil of the 3.

     You just threw out like several major languages .. with the exception of systemd, there's nothing wrong with any of those. Python is my primary language and I use to write a ton of small things in Gtk#/Mono. I'm not a fan of Java itself, but the JVM is powerful and I worked as a Scala developers for several years (although Scala is getting so complicated I'd recommend Kotlin today over it).

     @ryo Well, it doesn't have to be AAA to not run on Linux, it just has to be pretty much any PC game ever made. Of course, Wine exists, but it's a meme. It's overcomplicated and unreliable. Emulation also sucks on Linux in a lot of cases. Some emulators aren't available, some don't work, a few crash just from clicking on menus, some don't work properly no matter what you do, some break on an update and then you have to get a fucking appimage (just happened an hour ago).
     
     Also, in some cases, I may want to run an older version of an emulator, but there is no appimage, so I have to make one (and really, it should be done anyway, otherwise you have all the same problems that you have with downloading exe files from the internet on Windows). May be simple, but in some cases it requires finding some old version of a distribution, to build the emulator on, if by some miracle you manage to make that work, and then package it.
     
     It's a nightmare. And especially for PC games, it's a huge fucking meme, because you're running proprietary software anyway. Even more of a meme if you use Steam. Yeah, great idea, using an OS that is bad for gaming, for freedom and/or privacy or whatever else, and then running that level of proprietary garbage and spyware on it. And it doesn't even work. I have done it before, and it took literal hours to open a game, it's a fucking disaster. Also, this is all assuming that you even use Linux, on the BSDs it's more limited, though the emulation may be more stable. Linux is gradually becoming Windows anyway, and once it does, people are going to be stuck using another OS, with no games again.
     
     Anyway, I think people should just have a computer (or more) that they use exclusively as a console. Linux for gaming is a bad meme. I only do it because I have no choice, but it does feel like trying to use a hammer as a screwdriver. If it's a nightmare to make one machine do everything, then don't, just have more than one.
     
     That's what I don't get about people that don't use Linux or BSD because they need Windows for work, or whatever. Like, just have two or more computers. Though I guess it's kinda hard for those people to imagine that, considering that they buy the most expensive crap that they can buy and then throw it away ever year or two, right when they're done paying for it, because of course they get in debt to get it. Hell, they don't even know what specs they actually need, they have no sense of that.

     I just pirate all my games, and then directly donate to or buy from the developer himself if I legit liked it, and if they even take donations or sell a game directly at all (by which I mean no Steam, no Amazon, no other middleman, I'm more willing to go to their physical residence and give them cash directly than to go through middlemen who have already told me right in my face they hate me).

     @TerminalAutism @djsumdog yup.
     Anything with JS, and CSS is slowly becoming the next problem with lots of bloat.
     Just visit any random WordPress soyte even with JS disabled, notice how not only there's a massive amount of CSS files being loaded, but also how massive each one of those are, even after "minification", which really needs to become a punishable crime.
     
     Let's not forget how images nowadays are made up of even more pixels than this whole earth is together in square meters.

     @ryo Yes, it's just an example of the worst thing to possibly do. Like, why not use a separate Windows computer as a console at that point? And even pirated games, you are still potentially running malware that just might fuck shit up even through Wine. So, I would use a separate computer even for that.
     
     I only don't mind emulators, because the ROMs are not going to fuck anything up through the emulator, of course. Also wouldn't mind a VM with GPU passthrough, I guess, but I don't have the hardware for that, and I don't know if any fully free hardware can possibly do that. And I can also give a pass to stuff like OpenMW, that is free but uses assets from the original Morrowind (a pirated GOG copy, it actually has some extra stuff that the Steam version doesn't).

     @ryo @djsumdog Unless the actual Libreboot devs are wrong, no, it is on Core 2 Duos. Here is this page that I linked to earlier:
     https://libreboot.org/docs/hardware/ga-g41m-es2l.html
     
     "CPU: Intel Core 2 Extreme/Quad/Duo,
     Pentium Extreme/D/4 Extreme/4/Celeron"
     "Intel ME/AMD PSP: Present. Can be disabled"
     
     Same here:

     @ryo @djsumdog Image sizes really are nuts. Now it's normal for images to be 5 ~ 20 MB. Absurd. I don't remember the exactly size, but I downloaded an image that was in the triple digits. I think it was 300 ~ 500 MB. Fucking insane. Meanwhile, I look at them on my 900p monitor.
     
     Though I don't think it's all resolution, I think people just don't believe in compression anymore, and are too lazy to do it. And artists in particular, I think to them it's more marketable for their images to be gigantic, even if it's completely unnecessary and doesn't contain enough detail to actually need that. I see a lot of flat images with no texture that are still gigantic. Why? What is the point?
     
     Also, for a website's UI, I think everything should be done with images. But the images should be small. If you use images that are the size that they were back in the 2000s, it's not a problem at all. You can even use plenty of small GIFs and it's fine now.

     @ryo @djsumdog Libreboot disables it completely. That's why 2008 ThinkPads are special, they are the most powerful laptops that you can get, that you can fully disable the IME on. It doesn't do anything, it's like it's not even there. You also get faster boot times. Goodbye GPU, though, if it has one. Integrated graphics only (some of them only have that anyway, like the X200).

     @ryo Oh, there's one thing worth mentioning that I forgot. Some Windows games run better on Linux. One example is TES4 Oblivion. I ran it many years ago, and felt faster and crashed a lot less than on Windows. Also, last year, I used Lutris, that horrible abomination, and ran Postal 2. It was also more stable than on Windows (that's another game that crashes a good amount). That playthrough ended with me being stuck because an NPC that was essential for the story didn't spawn. Not sure if it had anything to do with it running on Linux, though. That game is very broken. But also fun. You can blow people's heads up with sledgehammers, you can piss on them, you can set them on fire and cut their limbs off, or cut them in half with a scythe. It's also a quote goldmine. You can, of course, kill people of all races.

     @TerminalAutism I'm actually tempted to make a game that's only available for Linux and BSD.
     I wanted to make an MMORPG as there's not a single FOSS one out there, and Maid Dragon (specifically Takiya and Fafuniru) inspired me into making one for a very long time now, but might be rather unrealistic as a single developer project.
     
     Well, theoretically it can be made by just myself, but will probably take at least another 200 great resets to get it released.

     @charliebrownau @djsumdog @Paultron Sounds not bad at all.
     One big problem I'm having with VPS's in general is that they all are either big tech, or use Goolag's reCAPTCHA, or are Cuckflared, but those who provide an API are more fine because it allows you to make your own UI for them, and you won't have to deal with the latter 2 problems.
     
     ConoHa (https://www.conoha.jp/conoha/) doesn't use Cuckflare, but they're part of GMO, which is one of Japanese big tech corpoes, and they shill for SDGs very hard.
     
     Some others that don't use Cuckflare and also isn't Jewed is Sakura Cloud (https://vps.sakura.ad.jp/).
     Or get yourself a cheapo static IP address and host your physical server from home, so you have unlimited bandwidth and easily upgradable storage at no additional cost.
     Or put it into a datacenter if you have the money.

     Yeah Wine lacks (readable) documentation on what to do when things aren't working well. I think the existence of Steam Deck could imply Wine could be made to work, it's just we don't know how to configure them. Indeed I ended up having a separate hard drive for gaming, one on normie Linux and one on Windows AME (with internet disabled and installed simplewall just in case).

     @kleeneks @charliebrownau @Paultron You know how to get the shorter I2P domains to work at all?
     I registered 24 hours ago, they still don't work.
     
     http://reg.i2p/search (type in "ryocafe", because these niggers use POST requests instead of GET).
     B32 works, AH and the domain itself don't.
     
     Am I missing something?
     I even configured nginx to accept both already.
     And the guide doesn't get any further than "Register short and memorable .i2p domain on inr.i2p.".

     @mint @kleeneks @charliebrownau @Paultron lolwut?
     It still doesn't on mine.
     
     On IceCat:
     Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.
     
     We can’t connect to the server at ryocafe.i2p.
     
     If that address is correct, here are three other things you can try:
     
     Try again later.
     Check your network connection.
     If you are connected but behind a firewall, check that IceCat has permission to access the Web.
     
     On Otter:

     Here's your problem, addresshelper only works with HTTP proxy. Either use it instead of SOCKS, or wait until the daemon grabs the latest subscription list.

     @udon @ryo Yeah, I think that's what makes the most sense, unless you go the VM route, but that probably involves buying more hardware anyway. It's no different from a console, really. Consoles are also proprietary, and you also shouldn't trust browsing the web or storing data on them. But for playing games, they're fine, especially if you (soft)mod them to play pirated games. Though of course, older consoles are better, new consoles are redundant when you can just get a PC. Actually, I just installed media players on my PS2 and Wii, the other day, so I can watch old stuff on my CRT TV. Unfortunately the PS2 is a little more limited, basically only does AVI, and also, there is something wrong with my cable, so there is a lot of noise in the audio. The Wii works fine, but I have to use the Wiimote for everything, which is horrible. But hey, it works. Better than nothing, when my monitor has a cracked solder joint. And definitely better colors than my LCD, it's not even close.

     @ryo I think maybe there isn't one because MMOs are dead. In my mind, MMOs are a very 2000s thing. Today's equivalent of shitty Korean pay-to-win MMOs is shitty P2W mobile games.
     
     Anyway, you can just steal my ideas that I'm never going to use. How about an Evangelion kart racing game? Like, the Evas could be shaped like karts. You could play as Shinji, Asuka and Rei, Toji, Kensuke (piloting Eva-04). I never watched Rebuild because my expectations are as low as they could possibly be, but there's probably an Eva for Kaworu there too. Maybe add Mari, just make sure that she's the worst.
     
     You could also play as the angels, shaped like cars and various other vehicles, and maybe an mass-produced Eva. Also Kaji driving a tractor-like kart, because gardening is small farming. Also Misato in her car, of course. Maybe horse mode Eva-02, and berserk Eva-01 (the horn could be this https://yewtu.be/watch?v=7HtdfhJVLJU HIGH VOLUME WARNING). Maybe giant Lilith Rei. Not sure what Gendo could pilot, but he should do it while maintaining his Gendo pose. Maybe just a table and chair with wheels, I don't know.
     
     There, free game idea. There's also the tranny game that I came up with, but I don't remember all the details. But basically, it's like that Who's Your Daddy (I think that's the name) YouTube bait game from many years back. It's a multiplayer game, and you play in an insane asylum, and you can be a tard wrangler or a tranny, and as the tranny, your goal is to find objects to commit suicide with, and the tard wrangler's goal is to take those objects away and prevent that until the time limit, when they are put back in the straitjacket.
     
     There, another idea. Free controversy money. Or Super Eva Kart. Quadrillions of (Zimbabwe) dollars either way.

     @djsumdog some people tend to go really overboard with the crap they bolt onto python projects (poetry included - not sure why people insist on implementing bad ideas from node in other languages) - a few months ago I contributed some code to a guy's library / server for talking with texas instruments DSPs (I had an ADAU1701, the library originally only supported something newer) and it was an exhausting exercise which put me off contributing any code to such things ever again: I had to run the thing on a first generation raspberry pi because that was what I had available and connected to the DSP, so poetry install took about 12h due to some google communications library he included (completely unrelated to the core functionality), adding the i2c dependencies also took ages, and then the commit checks ran 13 fucking tools, so a commit would take 15 minutes assuming none of the linters or mypy complained, and then he changed his mind or had some nit to pick about a class name or something similar... took about a month, for coding work that would normally take a few hours, 80% of which would have been understanding the information flow because that was some horrible dataclass-ridden spaghetti too.

     Python is bloated, slow, and breaks whenever a dependency

     Python has OOP/classes, which you left out in your blog post. It’s also not bloated at the core. Back in the day, I wrote embedded stuff in Python. Rust/Go didn’t exist back then, and python-mini for OpenWRT was under 1MB, had all the standard python libraries and fit, with the OS, on a 4MB flash chip. That was critical back in my startup days, long before Raspberry Pis existed and embedded boards were expensive. It can seem bigger once you start pulling libraries, but it’s hardly node or Java.

     Python is slow due to green threads and that is a problem. With both Python and Ruby, you just tend to scale up a bunch of full processes rather than threads (both celery and sidekiq work this way). For dependencies, poetry is an amazing build tool for Python (or you can use plain old virtualenvs .. same with rbenv/Ruby). pip can also install dependencies in .local if you use pip install --user if you don’t want to use virtualenvs or poetry and don’t want to muck up your operating system.

     And I happen to really like the lack of braces and clean, whitespace based syntax; which you saw as a disadvantage. That’s common .. people either love it or hate it.

     Java is owned by Oracle and that is a problem. It has a high startup cost and high memory footprint, but the trade off is that once JVM code is hot, it’s unbelievably fast. When I worked at a stock photo company, we had Scala services that could scale to process over 1,000 photos per minute during big events like the Olympics.

     I haven’t really touched C# in years. I do like the syntax in general. At that same stock photo company, some of the web stuff was written in C# and ported to .NET Core (Mono is kinda dead) and we could run it in Linux. I don’t develop on Windows at all anymore, so I can’t say much other than that.

     Reading your post, I think there’s a considerable difference when evaluating programming languages by just playing around with them on your own, and using them in the corporate world with large projects that have to scale up. I’ve used all of these in the wild (even C#) at a couple of different companies and see the advantages/disadvantages of each as a whole.
