zlatinb I guess I should include an absolute URL so that it works from RSS readers,,,
eyedeekay That's arguably a little tricky for us isn't it? I guess if we always assume that people are reading the news from the same client they're using to browse I2P sites then an absolute URL to the blog post *within* I2P makes the most sense
zlatinb I checked a few other posts and they contain absolute clearnet urls
eyedeekay Absolute clearnet it is then
eyedeekay The case for it is that it's going to work by default everywhere
eyedeekay Or nearly
zlatinb the release posts contain some liquid tag that translates .i2p -> .i2p.xyz
zlatinb but other than that it's absolute clearnet
eyedeekay I guess it make sense because people won't always be browsing sites in the same client they're using the console in
zlatinb oh I'm talking about links in blog articles from the site
zlatinb the console news should have a single in-I2P link imho
eyedeekay Oh sorry I had it backward
eyedeekay Let me see... we have a thing in the site code which maps I2P sites to clearnet sites, if you look for one of the sites included in the list you should find all the tables/functions you need to change to add a new one
eyedeekay IIRC it's like 3-4 places you might need to make changes if you want to make your site part of that, I believe you referred to as a liquid tag... I refer to it as that table that gets referenced by that function when the template gets executed
zlatinb all I want is a link from the blog post to the mac download page
zlatinb the post is live btw
eyedeekay Oh same-site then.
eyedeekay Something like {% trans downloadsmac={{ downloads_mac }} %} if there's a translation section or <a href="{{ downloads_mac }}"></a> if it's just a link
eyedeekay That will output the localized download page, i.e. /en/download/mac, /ru/download/mac
zlatinb will it work from an RSS reader?
eyedeekay I don't actually know for sure, I think it probably will but I guess the best way is to just try it and see, just a sec
zlatinb lol actually we only have an atom feed, no rss that I can find
zlatinb abd firefox doesn't like it
eyedeekay I don't see any HTML content in the feed, there's a content type=html but the actual stuff in it is plain-text
eyedeekay if I configure Thunderbird to follow the link that seems to work
eyedeekay zlatinb where does the Mac bundle keep it's router.config file?
eyedeekay /Library/Application Support/?
zlatinb eyedeekay: yes, then lowercase i2p
zlatinb actually not /Library but ~/Library
mesh zlatinb: where is your groovy source code?
zlatinb mesh: for which project?
mesh zlatinb: ... I don't know. You pasted a github link that showed how to start the i2p router I think? It was groovy code.
mesh I bookmarked it, then lost the bookmark
mesh zlatinb: danke

zzz dr|z3d, what problem is your proposal solving?
dr|z3d zzz: re outproxy proposal, it addresses a couple of potential issues. firstly, it gives the user better control over which outproxy is used when redundancy mode is active. that's arguably the most useful mode. elsewise, random and round robin modes would defend against profiling.
zzz I don't know how we could usefully present all that to the user, and with only one default as we have now, seems very niche
dr|z3d presentation isn't so difficult, it's just radios with tooltips.
dr|z3d Section title: "Outproxy mode" or somesuch.
dr|z3d and with 1 default outproxy, sure, it's a bit irrelevant. but with 2 or more configured, options become useful.
zzz lets see how things go in the coming months as people start using the new outproxy, then we can react to problems or needs
