I been trying to understand the difference between i2p to things like Tor and VPNs.

To my understanding, i2p is its own closed off network, meaning you cannot use i2p to access stuff outside of i2p like the clear net, onion domains, etc?

When using i2p, all traffic is relayed through other users in the i2p network like Tor but there is really no such thing as an exit node since you cannot access content outside of i2p?

Therefore i2p is good for hosting .i2p domains that can only be accessed in the i2p network and is good for P2P applications like Bittorrent?

Is this correct? Or am I still misunderstanding i2p?

And therefore could you and other users on i2p run a bitcoin nodes which will only be federated with bitcoin nodes with the i2p network and never federate with the rest of the bitcoin network, essentially making a fork of bitcoin blockchain on i2p?

And is there any other good use cases to i2p besides dark net websites and torrenting?

Keep in mind not all "privacy coins" are private. Some claim to be private because they have a privacy mode or just simply use IP obfuscation.

All monero transactions are private. The sender, reciever and amount are hidden. This is a true privacy coin because of these three features.

ZCash privacy is opt in

Dash I do not consider to be a privacy coin but is called a privacy coin since it has a privacy send mode.

There is Firo which I have not used much but I believe its privacy is opt in

Zano is a privacy coin that looks promising.

 

Simply place a note or card which would be a Monero meme inside any book for someone else to later find when opening the book.

Are all files on OwnCloud E2EE weather one has a personal cloud storage account or has an account on a team were files are E2EE for all users that are apart of the same team? E2EE were the server admins cannot see anyones filea, folders, file names, folder names and other metadata?

 

I want to know if there is a way to essentially hook up two AUX ports from 2 phones and merge them into one. Allowing me to listen to the audio output from both devices at the same time and use any set of AUX headphones to listen to these 2 phones.

 

Is it possible to send messages between lemmy users and kbin users. Not using Matrix, but the "fediverse" messanger?

 

How do you find the admins for a kbin instance? When I go to a kbin instance website, I cannot find anywhere the admin usernames.

I hope IVPN and others starts using RAM only servers in the future.

I wish Mullvad and IVPN kept port forwarding or find a way to bring it back without having too much legal trouble.

 

What is your email used for when signing up to Lemmy? Is it just for password reset?

fmhy.ml domain was seized due to the mali government taking back control of their TLD. Then they reappeared under lemmy.fmhy.net and then disappeared again but I do not know why.

Just annoying seeing this large dead instance still federated with lemmy.world and many other large instances.

 

Since lemmy.fmhy.ml and lemmy.fmhy.net is no longer online. I would like to suggest lemmy.world and other instances to delete any communities and posts from these two instances that are cached.

The reason is that new lemmy users may join these communities as they find them in using the search on lemmy not knowing that they do not exist anymore since their domain name or hosting is forever gone.

 

I had some questions regarding the reboot of FMHY lemmy.

  • In this post it states that the data from lemmy.fmhy.ml is still available? Is it now gone, has it been deleted? This reboot of lemmy.fmhy.net seems to be brand new instance without its original data?

  • Will the other instances that federated with lemmy.fmhy.ml delete the posts, comments, and communites from lemmy.fmhy.ml?

How do proxies work with port forwarding? Are proxies an option? No matter what I will use a VPN at all times but by using a proxy in your bittorrent client, could you get "port forwarding" functionality?
