MuWire resurrected - instructions how to connect
--Stolen and reposted here, sorry zab, but I hope you're fine with some extra promotion--
Hi,
[...]
After about a year off MuWire is back to the land of the living and the network has ~50 active users at any given time. Here is how to set it up and connect:
-
Go to the GitHub release page
-
Download the connections.txt file and save it somewhere
-
Depending on your operating system:
On Windows, download the MuWire-0.8.14-beta2.exe installer and run it. It will install everything you need to run MuWire. Skip to step 5.
On Linux, you need to install Java 17 or newer. This will be different on each distribution
On Mac, you need to install Java from [here] (https://jdk.java.net/22/) (available for both Intel and Apple Silicon).
-
Download the [MuWire-0.8.14-beta2.zip] (http://muwire-0.8.14-beta2.zip/) file and unzip it. Run the bin/MuWire script to launch MuWire.
-
Go through the MuWire setup wizard. When the main window appears, select Connections (top-left menu) -> Import connections and select the connections.txt file you saved in step 1.
Watch the bottom right of the main window - there is an icon like a molecule with the number of active connections to the MuWire network. As soon as MuWire connects, you can use it to search, share, download, message other users and more.
Enjoy!

That's because you're using it for a purpose it wasn't intended. I2P isn't designed to be used to browse the regular internet, for that it's better to use TOR. However for anonymous torrenting or accessing i2p-sites, it's quite fast imho.
Here’s everything you need to know about compensation and insurance coverage following the global IT outage.
Is it much slower though? I know it was, but is it still true? I get decent speeds on my torrents.

There was an attack not too long ago. I think there's something about it here on lemmy too. But start with this link.

This release, I2P 2.6.0, continues our work by fixing bugs, adding features, and improving the network's reliability.
Newer routers will be favored when selecting floodfill routers. I2PSnark received features which improve the performance of PeX(Peer Exchange), in addition to bug fixes. Legacy transport protocols are being removed, simplifying the code in the UDP transports. Locally-hosted destination will be reachable by local clients without requesting their LeaseSet, improving performance and testability. Additional tweaks were made to peer selection strategies.
I2P no longer allows I2P-over-Tor, connections from Tor exit IP addresses are now blocked. We discourage this because it degrades the performance of I2P and uses up the resources of Tor exits for no benefit. If you are a helpful person running both a Tor Exit and I2P we encourage you to continue to do so, using different IP addresses for each. Non-exit relays and Tor clients are unaffected by this and do not need to change anything.
As usual, we recommend that you update to this release. The best way to maintain security and help the network is to run the latest release.
RELEASE DETAILS Changes

Router: Increase minimum version for floodfill routers

UK's Starmer and Macron hail bilateral ‘reset’, reaffirm support for Ukraine
Britain's new Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday hailed an opportunity to strengthern relations between the UK and France on key issues such as defence, security and cross-Channel migration. Meeting at a summit for the European Political Community at Blenheim Palace near Oxford in the UK, the two leaders also reaffirmed their support for Ukraine.

If you're one of the ~25 snap users, you can finally upgrade again!
From the maintainer "alreadyburnt" on reddit.
Before we begin: Snap(and AppImages) are still not official packages. This still an experimental package and just a side-project of mine.
A few years ago, I got way too interested in these semi-novel packaging systems that the various distributions came out with. I went on a rampage of experimental package creation, often without necessarily knowing the future of the packages themselves. Many versions ago, the most popular of those packages broke in a particu`larly annoying way, and I did not have time to fix it. Until a few weeks ago, that is, and now, it's actually a lot easier for me to be sure that what I'm packaging is going to actually work because I can generate and test the packages continuously.
TL:DR the Snap, which I created, then broke, is now fixed, and it's likely to stay that way. If you are a snap user stuck on an old version, update as soon as possible.
It is generated using jpackage combined with the Easy-Install source. As a package, it functions like the Easy-Install bundle and not like the .deb or .jar installers.
https://snapcraft.io/i2pi2p
What's the real point? Nobody really cares about Snapcraft that much, except maybe Canonical. A lot of people don't even like them. That's not why there's a Snap of I2P now. The reason there's a Snap of I2P now, and that this experiment was not discontinued outright, is because it demonstrates the power of jpackage, the technology underlying the Easy-Install Bundles for Windows, to generate self-contained images that can easily be adapted to Linux package formats. Once you can stick a jpackage inside a Snap, you can just as easily stick it inside of an AppImage. A slightly different manifest format will leave you with a working Flatpak. The same applies to docker-compose and probably many other tools. Or, you can just stick it all into a .zip file and treat it like an I2P portable installation. The files your packaging are always the same, and are simply generated by jpackageing a custom I2P router launcher.

Shunned UK markets emerge as haven from global storms
LONDON, July 15 (Reuters) - Investors are looking at UK markets as a potential haven as political uncertainty rises in the U.S. and elsewhere in Europe, in what could mark a stunning turnaround for a country that appeared to have lost its traditional appeal to global capital.
The European Commission accused social media platform X of breaching the Digital Services Act (DSA) over its verified accounts policy and lapses in transparency, in preliminary findings released on Friday (12 July).
In a series of posts on X, the billionaire owner of the platform threatened legal action "so that the people of Europe can know the truth"

Germany says it won't be cowed by Russia after reported plot to kill Rheinmetall CEO
DUESSELDORF/WASHINGTON, July 12 (Reuters) - Berlin is taking reports of a plot to assassinate the chief executive of arms manufacturer Rheinmetall, very seriously and will not be cowed by Russian intimidation, the German government said on Friday.

Especially since the populists thrive on it which gives them exactly zero incentive to improve things.
I heard that they have to switch driver at the border. Imagine if planes had the same requirement. Half the plane would be pilots. 🤣
Not really, no.
Already happened. A real photo won in an ai art contest.
Thanks for the answer. So, not wealthy at all then. Good to know.
Fun fact, whenever my blood gets used to help someone, I get a text message telling me, and a thanks. Enormously satisfying.
Yeah. The motivation was never money. I was just curious since I heard that you got paid in the US. Apparently I was misinformed.
Still an interesting read for those who bothered to read it. There is also an interesting discussion to be had, because migration is very much needed into all western countries, but a growing part of the public seems to dislike it, hence the rise of the far right in both the US and the EU.
I think the flag is fine personally. It's very clear what the community is about.
Yeah, all EFTA members have veto rights towards new members, and you're pretty much correct but it's even worse. The UK economy is bigger than all other EFTA countries combined. There's no way they'd let the UK in.
