Those fucks would unplug the entire damn internet in their crusade if they had the ability to

Postman has a quite active community, you can find a lot of stuff there already. It’s not quite on the level of clearnet torrenting yet, of course, but it can very much stand on its own

It functions without port forwarding, but it’s much better with. While I can’t speak for the Java client, i2pd has support for UPnP, which might make things easier in some environments. You also don’t need a VPN for I2P, since the network takes care of the anonymising

Augh

Following Empress’ bullshit via Telegram screenshots is a fun experience. I like to think of it as the B-plot of digital piracy.

Yup. I’ve resorted to checking for new videos on Invidious and then actually watching them in MPV

Well, that’s shit news

Looks like you weren’t the only person to believe the 1994 version to be the better one

A good start would be to check the website and go from there. I don’t know of a good, singular guide unfortunately—there are a couple different ways of going about torrenting on I2P.

I can confirm that torrenting on I2P works quite well! You may have to set aside a couple weeks per movie, though. Still, the torrent selection is decent, if not quite as good as what you would get on the clearnet. You’ll want to check the postman tracker (tracker2.postman.i2p) once you have everything set up.

Copious amount of ebooks or web novel downloads, as well as my lofi folder for background music. All preloaded on a boot drive with a Linux distro capable of both running on the hardware and viewing everything I brought, if I can figure out how to do that. Plus however many snacks I can sneak in.

Really cool, particularly the inbuilt sponsorblock and dislikes. Those are something I’ve been missing in my own Invidious. I’ll still stick with the original interface, but keep up the good work!

Going through Anna’s Archive also works, they usually have zlib links

More I2P torrenting support

Just as the founding fathers intended.

YouTube is already a sedated, anaemic whale of a website. Adblock probably makes it run faster, given it usually removes stuff rather than add it. If you want speed, I recommend a frontend such as Invidious or Piped, it’s what I use on my weaker laptops where YouTube takes half a minute to load.

RIP Tachiyomi, time to try out Kotatsu

What is this, a callout post?

Sounds like Firefox text mode with extra steps. Granted, it might be good for other browsers, but I personally am doing fine so far with a reader plugin on Palemoon.

Also, as other users have mentioned already, it’s sus as heck.

After trying both, I’ve settled on Invidious. I prefer the UI, it feels more snappy than Piped. Plus, with Piped I had this problem with longer videos where it’d just stop playing somewhere in the middle. Might be fixed by now though.

Make all of them run a bogosort on a list of 10-100 items. Whichever one finishes last gets shot. Repeat until you no longer have idle servers

I don’t use the main YouTube website at all anymore. A big reason for this is that I spend a lot of time using a really weak laptop that tends to struggle with the JavaScript-laden abomination that is modern corporate web design. Firefox itself struggles as well, so I primarily use Luakit with Invidious, which runs peachy. I also put together a local html page for my bookmarks that is generated from Yaml using a small C application (which is not optimal, I know, but I’ve been learning C and this was a good opportunity). Whenever something doesn’t work in Luakit, I evade to Palemoon. I also tried watching YouTube via mpv earlier, and it’s great! It runs infinitely better than any web player at max resolution and buffers the whole video. Never going back.

Ooh, I should try that! I already use mpv, so that’d streamline things a bit

Good question. I’d hope not

Figma balls

I’ve started to just download videos with yt-dlp after grabbing links via Invidious. Using Invidious itself has become somewhat unreliable lately, and this way I don’t have to put up with buffering and can watch in good quality. Cut out the middle men

Sure there is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sponsorblock/

Huh. Neat

Mmh. Don’t like that
