hi
GalaxyNova
anyone alive
mesh
no
GalaxyNova
that's too bad :(
GalaxyNova
it's pretty quiet around here
mesh
it will wake up soon when Europe wakes up
mesh
if you have questions about I2P+ just ask them and hope somebody notices
GalaxyNova
nah I'm just here to chill
mesh
when I go to /peers and look in the 'Up' column, I see connections that have been up for 60+ hours
mesh
is that normal?
dr|z3d
sure.. your router's been up at least that long, no?
mesh
dr|z3d: yes. I was just under the impression that i2p connections... tunnels? were not supposed to last more than 10 minutexsz
mesh
seeing such long-lived connections is a bit strange. I guess the router likes to reuse such connections for tunnels?

cpu freq in my rpi is 600 mhz which is lowest possible freq
genka
weird
genka
with performance governor
genka
a couple of days ago everything was fine
genka
was 1500 mhz
dr|z3d
mesh: you're not necessarily building tunnels with those peers, more than likely you're not, for the most part.
dr|z3d
you're just talking to them.
mesh
dr|z3d: about what?
mesh
dr|z3d: can you point to me a link that explains these long lived connections? is this a floodfill thing?
mesh
(I'm not so much concerned as just very curious)
dr|z3d
the quality of your coffee, how your day was.
dr|z3d
are you a floodfill?
mesh
yes
dr|z3d
you're a floodfill.. you'll be getting regular connections from other routers querying for leasesets.
mesh
I would expect as much. But why are some connections lasting for multiple days?
dr|z3d
there's a lot of backchat, anyways. your router's regularly testing routers to see if they're alive etc.
mesh
Are these long-lived connections a way for flood fills to accelerate queries between themselves?
dr|z3d
up in this context means "how long since my first communication" I think.
dr|z3d
so it doesn't inidcate a persistent connection so much as a regular communication.
mesh
oh really
dr|z3d
well, that's my understanding of that metric, anyways.
mesh
I wonder if I should comment that the "Soft Restart" the i2p router does isn't really realiable
dr|z3d
in what sense?
mesh
I experienced this problem quite often until I simply stopped Windows from going to sleep while plugged in: Windows wake up after ~6 hours of sleep, the I2P router detects a large skew jump and does a "soft restart"
mesh
sometimes, probably 50+% of the time, connectivity would be restored but the router would be in a kind of a wacky state. Going to /graphs would show broken image links.
mesh
frankly I think the idea of a soft restart is a bad one and the router should just shutdown completely and reboot. That's often what I ended up doing anyways and it didn't take that long to recover.
dr|z3d
well, zzz's looking into issues relating to recovery from sleep, so you might want to comment on zzz.i2p or in -dev.
mesh
Not sure it's such a useful comment without any logs or even proof.
