Yes. When you setup I2P, if you are on a home router with NAT, you setup port forwarding for I2P to get through. I believe it supports UPnP as well, which would circumvent this need.

You don't need to configure anything else for being connectable from the wider network. The torrent clients remain connectable allowing you to easily seed.

I2P is a darknet similar to Tor in some ways, but it is perfectly legal and safe to use depending on what you're doing on it, of course.

It is used for regular browsing and running services on. People setup hidden services like websites or mail servers or anything on it really. Lemmy could theoretically be hosted over I2P as well, it just wouldn't federate properly with these ones on the clearnet.

Any other info you would want included? I2P can get pretty in depth but that's my basic understanding of what I use it for.

Mullvad disabled port forwarding due to bad people abusing it. It would happen to anyone honestly.

So there are 2 main implementations of i2p. First is the main dev's Java client here https://geti2p.net/en/download

The other is i2pd, which is C++.

I use the Java one personally but both would work. Someone posted back on reddit a guide on /r/i2p for qbittorrent, which is what I use now for this too. The guide was shared as a public torrent you can download with this info hash: 3f1d51095f9b116739172c1bced149acf2b10692

Use that hash with any of the various public trackers and you should be able to download that guide.

But if you just want a basic setup, that Java client comes with i2psnark, which is a bittorrent client already setup.

The only other thing you want to do is go and search the biggest tracker for stuff, which is called PaTracker, Postman's tracker. http://tracker2.postman.i2p, only accessible from i2p itself, which you'll need to have setup and running first to view.

So I've decided to stop paying for VPNs or Seedboxes recently after the mullvad news. I setup i2p and now just do torrenting exclusively through there. It is private and self-hosted, so no dealing with dmca notices. I believe i2p is the future of torrenting.

Same but on a Pixel 6a. It's good for the most part. I don't use this phone for calls/sms so I wish I could just disable that while retaining mobile data, but I haven't figured that out yet really.

That's the cutest little ironing board I've seen. Oh yeah and cute cat too, I suppose

I just started a small instance called wizanons.dev if anyone is interested in joining. We're focused on magic and mysticism, especially psychonautics.

Also super friendly and we've yet to ban any instances since we're still small and haven't needed to. We run the "magic" community, which is mostly general for anything magical - fantasy or otherwise anyone wants to post about.

Ebikes are definitely the answer. Much easier to ride up hills and very accessible for regular people to start riding. Plus they are significantly cheaper than cars when you account for insurance and registration and maintenance, etc.

I figured this would be his last one honestly. He's already made it, so to speak.

This is awesome! I love seeing the whole community here like this!

I use btrfs snapshots and btrbk

btrfs is a great filesystem and btrbk complements it easily. Switching between snapshots is also really easy if something goes wrong and you need to restore.

Archwiki docs for btrfs: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Btrfs#Incremental_backup_to_external_drive

Of course you'd still want a remote location to backup to. You can use an encrypted volume with cloud storage. So google drive, etc all work.
