If you run #Windows and want a safe haven to coordinate when bad comes to worse, you may want to install a #Freenet / #Hyphanet node ASAP. Just run the installer:

https://www.draketo.de/dateien/freenet/build01500/FreenetInstaller-1500.exe

For more information, see https://www.hyphanet.org/pages/download.html#windows

If you run #Linux and want a safe haven to coordinate when bad comes to worse, you may want to install a #Freenet / #Hyphanet node ASAP:

Install Java and wget (e.g. sudo apt-get install openjdk-17-jdk wget)

wget 'https://www.draketo.de/dateien/freenet/build01500/new_installer_offline_1500.jar' -O new_installer_offline.jar;
java -jar new_installer_offline.jar -console

Leave out -console to use a graphical installer.

Connect to your friends with #Hyphanet to have a safe haven to coordinate when bad comes to worse.

The most useful help you can provide — especially for the coming storm — is to get Friends to run #Hyphanet and connect to you in friend-to-friend mode, so you can send friend-to-friend messages to them.

Those are one of the few ways of communications for which is is very hard to detect whether you communicated at all (protects metadata). They provide a confidential channel between you and your friends.

They can get installers from

Hyphanet, the original #Freenet 1500 released:
https://www.hyphanet.org/freenet-hyphanet-build-1500-hotfixes-and-polish.html

This release fixes regressions that slipped into release 1499:

- an endless loop on hostname resolution on friend-to-friend nodes
- typo in text-decoration filter
- NullPointerException when disabling and reenabling SSL

Also it adds two small improvements

- In the first time wizard the save button is now named "Finish" to make it clear that the node starts after clicking it
- update Japanese translation — thanks to qupo1

The #Windows installer for 1499 had a regression that caused it to lack
dependencies. The reason was a mistake in updating the Gradle build
file of the installer so the dependencies were not properly read from
the main project.

This only affects new installs: auto-update should cause no problems.
Installing on #Linux/macOS/*nix is unaffected.

The Windows installer has been re-released and the downloads are
fixed.

The Windows installer will only be signed for the real release (it verifies that what’s on the auto-updater actually matches what’s built from scratch in its pipeline, so we need a real release).

1499 status:

All plugin and infrastructure pull-requests merged. Will need to create a new release for Freemail — thanks to Bombe for the settings page!

Besides Freemail:

- java_installer: arm64bit thanks to Juiceman
- scripts: BusyBox compatible realpath—thanks to gresskar
- wintray: Move to .NET Framework 4.8 and set to high DPI aware (can’t release that yet—Windows signing hurts)
- pyFreenet: mimetype handling option, thanks to debbiedub

Also all merge ready PRs to fred are merged.

Updated pyFreenet3 to 0.6.2: https://pypi.org/project/pyFreenet3/

Add --mime-type-match option docs

Glad to see that they want 2FA authorization and that mine is actually supported. Still annoying to setup …

Update with pip install -U pyFreenet3

Added a fallback for infocalypse push: if a repository has fallen out, hg fn-push will automatically re-create it (if you have the private key):
