I have Rust experience and will consider helping out. I’ve been wanting to help out Lemmy recently anyway.

My favorite part of Rust is that if it compiles and passes the borrow checker. Like you said, it’s almost guaranteed to work like you expect it to. Exceptions being potential panics and logic errors.

I’ve got a ‘NAS’ setup on my desktop computer/server. I use it for almost everything. It runs VMs and games and self-hosted servers, etc, etc. It is Arch Linux but does it all. Plex/Sonarr/Radarr/QBittorrent.

24 TB of HDD in raid 10.

I haven’t found a good reason to keep a separate computer/server. It pretty much just always complicates the setup. If I need more separation, a VM is usually a better answer in most cases as far as I can see.

Question for you. How do you search for torrents on I2P? I know postman has their web interface but do you use any other tools for finding hash IDs, etc?

Qbittorrent has a search function but no python add-on exists for searching I2P as far as I know.

Yup, I’m going to guess Pegasus and Celestia combined.

Turn off mixed mode and also fiddle with DHT. I’m not sure if DHT will bypass i2p in some cases but it’s worth a shot.

I’m personally very skeptical of all these rarbg clones.

I didn’t want to connect to clearnet folks. I2P only mode in qbittorrent. I just prefer qbittorrent as opposed to i2psnark. Obviously the issue is adoption and availability of torrents on i2p. I’ll continue to seed new stuff on there very often though. Maybe even see if I can get RSS setup on qbittorrent for i2p as well for automatic downloading/seeding.

You gotta look at the peer lists in qbittorrent. You’ll know if its i2p because you won’t see regular IPs but instead i2p addresses which are much longer.

I worry about that every day lol

Yes it is! I did manage to figure it out. There is a guide that was posted on reddit. /r/i2p look for the recent qbittorrent thread there. The download for the guide is a torrent too.

• Rust and Python. Python for work
• Rust is by far the best language I’ve ever used and I’ve used a lot of them. It really can do everything and is reliable and safe as well.
• I want to convert all of our projects at work to Rust as well if I had it my way entirely. Only thing to do is train my team on using it.

I used to run OSMC and had Kodi and everything on there but honestly it was more trouble than it was worth. Kodi and it’s piracy addons are pretty buggy in most cases and fail to work reliably for very long. Since then I’ve switched back to using Plex but soon I may have to switch again to Jellyfin.

Me over here trying to figure out how to get i2p running in qbittorrent so I don’t need a VPN anymore.

On Apollo as well. It’s the best way to interact with Reddit hands down. I’ve been seeing reddit’s decline for a long time now though so I’m ready to move away from it as much as I can for the most part. Apollo had no ads so it was supreme.

So I like the idea of going back to the decentralized net but honestly how could that ever gain enough popularity? We need faaaar better UX/UIs to interact with these platforms that exist. I would love a decentralized reddit where regular people can find and search, etc.
