Is this the "Find out" stage then?

Actions have consequences. Sad people had to figure it out this way.

Been posting to "Europe" since forever. Still only a fraction of users compared to that other site. About 3000 monthly I believe. Driving engagement is harder than it seems.

I have a mastodon account, but using it feels like shouting into the void so I don't post much.

Clear and concise. Thanks.

The charger is made for the battery, it's just that the newer batteries have somewhat more capacity. Thanks for all the extra details.

Very easy to understand analogy. Thanks for that. Makes it very clear on how it works. Doesn't sound like a too small hose should cause problems then?

It's a power-tools charger that came with the tools. The earlier batteries were 1.5Ah, the newer are 2Ah.

Hi. I should probably already know this, but I don't, so I thought I'd ask here.

If I have a charger marked as 1,5A and then try to charge a battery with 2Ah, what will happen?

  • Is the battery going to be charged, but slower?
  • Charged but not fully?
  • Not charged at all?

If you're using it to browse webpages on the clearnet then yes, it's slower, because that's not the use-case for i2p. I've seen speeds around 1MBit/s which isn't lightning fast, but also not terrible for an anonymous network.
