mesh
and today i2p is very fast
dr|z3d
what version of i2p+ you on, mesh?
dr|z3d
testing, testing, is this thing on...? :)
mesh
dr|z3d: same version as always
mesh
dr|z3d: is there a new version that is faster?
dr|z3d
release, mesh? -0+ ?
mesh
dr|z3d: 1.7.0-13+
dr|z3d
oh, 13+
dr|z3d
I think we're up to 19+ now. could potentially be faster.
mesh
hmm
mesh
nothing in the blog about these point releases
dr|z3d
blog?
mesh
dr|z3d: geti2p.net/en/blog
dr|z3d
the -{number} indicates a development build, you won't see anything in the blog about those.
mesh
dr|z3d: yeah, I sort of see that, but it makes me nervous
dr|z3d
but given how you're all over the codebase, you could be ahead of the curve with development builds and provide some feedback on the various patches :)
dr|z3d
it shouldn't make you nervous at all.. you've got a good eye for detail, you can help with the dev process as a user :)
dr|z3d
ask T3s|4_.. he's about as regular a dev updater as it is, sometimes several times an hour/day. :)
dr|z3d
I soon hear if there are issues. It all helps.
mesh
yeah it's a form of development I'm well aware of heh
dr|z3d
be a part of the improvements you'd like to see :)
dr|z3d
or not.
dr|z3d
besides, -19+ is an RC candidate, very little likely to change between now and release next week.
dr|z3d
*RC build
mesh
I don't have time to update to several times a week. I might be willing to update once a week if these alpha and beta releases and rc builds were clearly labeled and had decent changelogs associated with them
mesh
and, most importantly, there was an easy way to downgrade back to the previous release.
dr|z3d
changelogs the gitlab commit logs. you can see every change there. and you don't need to update daily, whenever suits.
dr|z3d
you can downgrade to any version you like, assuming you have the installer or update file handy.
dr|z3d
or you can just backup your i2p dir and then update, and restore it if you want to downgrade. easy enough.
dr|z3d
application dir, that is.
mesh
dr|z3d: I'd be curious to know how that's supposed to work. though I tend to disable the i2p autoupdate mechanism. I think for me I'd probably have to hack up an automated process that would download a zip, expand it, shutdown the existing router, make a copy of the i2p workspace directory, and then start the new router with the given workspace
mesh
even then it'd be risky because if my router did go down or something wacky went wrong it would affect more than just me
dr|z3d
you could just script downloading the zip, making a backup of i2p/ app dir, copying the update to existing i2p/ app dir, then restarting.
dr|z3d
or just automate backups of the i2p app dir on a schedule and timestamp them, and then roll with the in-console update mechanism and update manually as you see fit, with the update policy set to notify only and the skank unsigned dev update path configured.
dr|z3d
it doesn't need to be hard :)
dr|z3d
and it's super unlikely the updates will screw you over, they're tested before they're rolled out, or the changes that occur don't require testing (theme updates etc).
mesh
famous last words hehe
dr|z3d
well, I could use your feedback at the development end of things, but it's entirely up to you.
mesh
I'll think about it. I would prefer to have a separate router used for shenanigans and leave the "production" router that hosts services like git and chat etc alone
mesh
I've been thinking of spinning up another server in the USA that would act as a geographically distributed backup. an i2p router would run there too and could be used for testing
mesh
ovh has 8gb servers in the US for just $20/mo according to us.ovhcloud.com/public-cloud/prices/#388
dr|z3d
talk to rambler, maybe he has a package that's suitable, perhaps.
mesh
does rambler sell servers?
dr|z3d
sorry, webhosting.i2p/kvm-vps
rambler
D'oh!]
dr|z3d
:P
dr|z3d
dev site isn't registered :)
rambler
No US stock right now, and out of IPs in NL unfortunately. Most things are on hold, I do apologize.
rambler
Oh yeah, that's right. It remains a mystery to all, then. :)
rambler
Hoping ARIN will toss me a /21. We're sort of in the middle of restructuring some things though.
dr|z3d
have you got a timeframe for mesh, rambler? :)
dr|z3d
I don't think his need is super urgent?
rambler
4-8 weeks, unfortunately.
rambler
"Good things come to those who wait." or something
rambler
Hardware hasn't even been procured in full yet. I placed my order and deposit like two days ago, so things still need shipped, built and racked.

parabo
hey albat:D
dr|z3d
no, parabo.
parabo
no?
parabo

dr|z3d
when you put someone in the ground after death, what do you to to them?
parabo
nothing
dr|z3d
I mean the process, what's it called again?
parabo
funeral?
dr|z3d
no, the act of putting someone in the ground and then adding earth.
parabo
burial
dr|z3d
oh, so you can spell it :)
parabo

dr|z3d
that thing you pastebinned the other day, you were berrying muhammed. which variant? raspberries?
parabo
blue raspberry
dr|z3d
dingleberry.
dr|z3d
you good?
parabo
Oh yeah
parabo
you?
dr|z3d
not bad, thanks.
parabo
You coding?
dr|z3d
not right this second, in between jobs so to speak.
parabo
oh
dr|z3d
release is next week, so not pushing the boat out with any more changes.
parabo
ahh
parabo
you should play Civilization VI
dr|z3d
I have better things to do with my time, but thanks for the recommendation. :)
parabo
unciv?
dr|z3d
games are a very rare indulgence for me.
parabo
I used to be like that before I found Civ
parabo
dr|z3d, how long is your beard?
T3s|4_
o/ dr|z3d : got lucky; after not seeing an update for 2 days, was only 30 mins behind you today :D
dr|z3d
hey hey T3s|4 o/
dr|z3d
yeah, slow lately, not necessarily a bad thing, things are pretty stable lately.
T3s|4_
even crazier, on the 17th update, I was only ~6 mins behind you :)
dr|z3d
haha, tell that to mesh! :)
dr|z3d
he seems to think he'll bork his install running dev builds...
T3s|4_
yep, read the drama - why doesn't mesh just test his borked 'theories' in various VMs?
dr|z3d
Blinded message
T3s|4_
dr|z3d: snark continues impressing. Grabbed a fair size file yesterday from a large swarm; after watching it for ~5 mins, it rarely fell below 600+ K/s
dr|z3d
very nice, T3s|4
