Those fucks would unplug the entire damn internet in their crusade if they had the ability to

Postman has a quite active community, you can find a lot of stuff there already. It’s not quite on the level of clearnet torrenting yet, of course, but it can very much stand on its own

It functions without port forwarding, but it’s much better with. While I can’t speak for the Java client, i2pd has support for UPnP, which might make things easier in some environments. You also don’t need a VPN for I2P, since the network takes care of the anonymising

Augh

Following Empress’ bullshit via Telegram screenshots is a fun experience. I like to think of it as the B-plot of digital piracy.

Yup. I’ve resorted to checking for new videos on Invidious and then actually watching them in MPV

Well, that’s shit news

Looks like you weren’t the only person to believe the 1994 version to be the better one

A good start would be to check the website and go from there. I don’t know of a good, singular guide unfortunately—there are a couple different ways of going about torrenting on I2P.

I can confirm that torrenting on I2P works quite well! You may have to set aside a couple weeks per movie, though. Still, the torrent selection is decent, if not quite as good as what you would get on the clearnet. You’ll want to check the postman tracker (tracker2.postman.i2p) once you have everything set up.

Copious amount of ebooks or web novel downloads, as well as my lofi folder for background music. All preloaded on a boot drive with a Linux distro capable of both running on the hardware and viewing everything I brought, if I can figure out how to do that. Plus however many snacks I can sneak in.

Really cool, particularly the inbuilt sponsorblock and dislikes. Those are something I’ve been missing in my own Invidious. I’ll still stick with the original interface, but keep up the good work!

Going through Anna’s Archive also works, they usually have zlib links

Correct on all counts. I’ll try some other DNS servers later. Right now I’m using the Mullvad DNS servers, any suggestions for ones that support DNS over TLS?

Some further tests make it look like dig is influenced by some caching stuff going on on my PC. I figured that out while playing around with a TXT record for testing purposes, and noticing that host and dig return different results for the same input.

Running the commands again on my phone using Termux reveals that the AAAA record is in place and functioning, but I still can’t reach the website from my browser by using the domain name.

Thanks for the answer! Unfortunately, the response from dig AAAA is rather lackluster:

I’m starting to suspect Namecheap just hates IPv6. Their dynamic DNS service only covers v4, too

Correct! Single AAAA record pointing to the IP of my server, which I verified beforehand.

My host records consist of a single AAAA record that points to the IP address of my server, which I verified beforehand. I’ve tried dig, but I’m not sure how to interpret it’s output, which looks as follows:

The DNS issue persists. The part that my friend helped me with was determining if I configured my router firewall correctly, which I did. Currently I can reach my server from the internet only directly via its IPv6 address, with no progress on binding it to my domain name.

The firewall port on my router is open, and as far as I can tell, my server isn’t running a firewall at the moment. ICMP might be a problem; ipv6-test tells me that those are filtered out. After checking my router settings, I’ve determined that ICMP is enabled for the device in question.

Tried my mobile connection already, doesn’t have IPv6. Also tried a nearby hotspot, same issue.
