Y'know what? I've been waiting to try it, but I shall wait no more. Thanks for the little push <3

Happy to be an annoying yet hopefully ultimately positive influence, lol.

Is it okay if I DM you any questions that come up while I explore this magical new world called I2P?

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Hah uh yeah, sure!

Though, As I've said elsewhere... in terms of actual implementation of this, I'm really a novice at best, maybe up to 'intermediate' at a few things.

From the rest of this thread, it seems kyliann0087 is more well versed in this, has their own bit of an ongoing service set up in i2p land...

I am happy to try to help, but you might ask them what you've just asked of me, I suspect if they agreed, they'd be more useful than I would be.

I'm uh... more of an I2P fanboy/evangelist, lol.


EDIT

ok here are some of the resources i mentioned earlier/elswhere in the thread, but was too lazy to link earlier:

Mental Outlaw:

Intro to I2P (5 yo youtube video)

Make Linux Ungovernable with I2P (much more recent youtube video)

How I run Darknets From My Home Internet (5 yo odysee video, because some of this content/info is apparently too spicy for YouTube)

An 'Awesome-I2P' list, basically a curated list of many different I2P projects/software:

Ooooooo I know what I’m doing after a heady nap! Thank you!

[–] strawberry_enjoyer42@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Lol no problem! I'm a fangirl/evangelist for Linux, and I'm only intermediate at it.

Thanks for the resouces; I love awesome-* lists! Also the videos look rather interesting (I see that Linux-Libre penguin...)

I'll get started today, methinks. It's my day off :3

I think MO sells his own merch shirts, with linux inspired/related designs.

Like the penguin with showering equipment... that he almost certainly designed to be worn to conventions, with linux people, to politely remind them to bathe, lol.

[–] strawberry_enjoyer42@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Oh no, the showering penguin is official. He's the mascot for Linux-Libre, a fork which cleans up the kernel by removing non-free, proprietary blobs.

...sonuvabitch.

Welp, there I go, projecting again, hahahah!

... did not know that.

[–] strawberry_enjoyer42@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

dw, i need to shower more too!

probably most fediverse users do

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

... I can't shower or draw a bath until it gets below at least 80F ... or ... my entire apartment will become a sauna and basically give me heat stroke.

Yay super el nino.... ughhhhh....

[–] strawberry_enjoyer42@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I take cold showers in the Summer. Otherwise, I literally sweat. Like, in the shower.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Same, on all counts.

Problem is that we're above the temp where the AC can really do anything, where I am... it is simply too hot outside.

So, if I turn on the steam machine, im just wet bulbing myself in the next hour or two, even if the shower itself is cooling.

It'd turn into a sauna, one that I can't really meaningfully air out, because it is also humid outside.

... Still 86F. Might be 80F in 2 or 3 hours... uggggh i am a bog monster lol.
