movie-web was just taken down with all its repos, Yuzu was taken down, then suyu forked it on gitlab and was taken down, countless clones of nintendo games, platform emulators, and a bunch of other things are taken down because they are hosted on the clear web.

If you're a dev and planning to write software for piracy, host it on I2P!

I'm stupid, can someone please quickly tell me what I2P is?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If you know TOR, I2P is TOR but with P2P support.

But in general terms, it's anonymization network. Data is sent over multiple hops/nodes and the original source is not included. The nodes are hosted by random people. The downside is that the slowest node in the chain of nodes between the source and the target means that's how slow the entire chain is (at least). So, the more nodes, the better for anonymity, and the faster the nodes are, the better for speed.

Interesting.

A side question : I'm making a similar protocol, anyone knows some space where you discuss stuff like I2P, IPFS etc?

They all have their pros and cons, and I'd like to see if my protocol and its possibilities would interest.

Cheers

That's a good question. Unfortunately, I don't know. IPFS does have a matrix channel where you could ask questions though.

Thanks!

I actually went there maybe 6 months ago, but they were (which is totally okay) not interested in my protocol or how it works. I'm probably not very good in selling it either 😞😊.

I2PD is an implementation is I2P, a way to anonymously share Disney's IP without showing anyone IP to the ISP.

Also check out Radicle, it's basically decentralized Git. @[email protected] is also working on a federation solution: @[email protected] (https://forgefed.org/)

Radicle can still suffer under a DMCA if it's on the clear web. They just have to take down the node(s) hosting the repos, same as github, gitlab, et al. However if radicle works on I2P, that would be... rad 🤑

Wow, that's great! once they have stable support for TOR and I2P, it could become amazing for hosting such projects.

just skimmed through that link and it seems like it's for self hosting gitlab ? is there an instance on i2p so I don't have to self host (I don't want to) ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

There is one, but it's also on the clearweb. Dunno if somebody hosts one purely on the darkweb
