y2kboy23: hi
y2kboy23
dr|z3d hellp
y2kboy23
hello
dr|z3d
ok, re your questions..
dr|z3d
re irc issue, occasionally postman's irc server misbehaves. you can remedy that issue by adding irc.echelon.i2p to your list of servers in the tunnel manager for the i2p client tunnel.
dr|z3d
servers are comma separated.
y2kboy23
Both are in my list of servers
dr|z3d
ok, then you should be good. the default i2p+ config only ships with postman iirc.
y2kboy23
fyi im not on i2p+
dr|z3d
re pulling from upstream, you create a new local branch for upstream, pull to that, then push to your upstream branch.
dr|z3d
checkout the main branch, then cherry-pick the commits you want from the upstream branch.
dr|z3d
I wouldn't say i2p+ is unstable, in any event, but if you bumped into the occasional postman irc issue it can feel that way.
y2kboy23
For a clean profile, I shouldn't be having the bizarre issues that I am experiencing.
y2kboy23
I did just reboot my host so maybe that could have been affecting it
dr|z3d
aside from postman irc issue, what else?
y2kboy23
Sites not loading
dr|z3d
there appear to be a bunch of sites offline right now.
dr|z3d
use something like zzz.i2p or tracker2.postman.i2p to test.
y2kboy23
I use both actually lol
dr|z3d
if either of those is up, then it's probably an issue with whatever other site you're attempting to visit.
y2kboy23
I sent you a PR to hopefully fix an error I saw with i2p+
dr|z3d
ah, thanks.
y2kboy23
Also, to have Gitlab build containers on their infrastructure, they need a cc "just" to validate the account.
dr|z3d
oh, cute.
y2kboy23
I might reach out to their support to see if something else can be done
y2kboy23
its to prevent abuse, I get that, but there must be something else.
y2kboy23
maybe a long repo history of commits?
dr|z3d
you'd have to talk to them, but they're receptive to open source projects. you can apply to them for an acct upgrade for free.
dr|z3d
so it's entirely possible you can work something out.
y2kboy23
The other option would be to run their builder program by ourselves.
dr|z3d
sure, also possible.
y2kboy23
Just have to play around with it and see how to hook it up.

dr|z3d After running i2p+ with i2psnark for a few hours, webpages and IRC just stopped connecting. One thing I saw in the logs under INFO was "message delivery failed". I had to restart the docker image to get things working again.
dr|z3d
if you can paste logs (sanitized where required) to cake.i2p/pastebin/ that would help, y2kboy23
dr|z3d
I'd put the issues down to teething problems, or maybe some minor issues with the docker config.
dr|z3d
Info level logs can mostly be ignored, in any event. usually ERROR or CRITICAL are indicative of actual issues.
y2kboy23
It was a Warn message
y2kboy23
But it seems like my messages are not leaving the router.
y2kboy23
I just lowered my logs to warn just to see if I might find something to help identify
dr|z3d
would need to see logs.
dr|z3d
can't speculate. often warn is noisy and isn't an indication of an actual issue.
y2kboy23
Looks like its currently happening.
y2kboy23
Refreshing zzz.i2p just tries to load
dr|z3d
2022/12/23 06:22:05.923 | WARN [...nark #14751] ...ionDemultiplexer: No listener found for proto: 17 port: 61007 msg id: 36962344 from pool of 1 listeners
dr|z3d
that seems like it might be the root cause.
dr|z3d
smells like a docker config issue.
y2kboy23
There's these files in the docker rootfs folder. gitlab.com/y2kboy23/I2P.Plus/-/tree/master/docker/rootfs/i2p
y2kboy23
That's my fork but still. Those are most likely what I have with my setup right now.
dr|z3d
let's see what you got there
dr|z3d
not entirely sure router.updateDisabled=true is required in router.config
dr|z3d
that said, I don't know how a docker image would behave if the router attempted to update.
y2kboy23
It would update the image, not that big of a deal.
dr|z3d
probably worth enabling then.
dr|z3d
flu's got me floored. will be back later.
y2kboy23
the clients and i2ptunnels files match upstream i2p
y2kboy23
Feel better!

shit, parabo
dr|z3d
but slightly less shit than yesterday.
parabo
that's good

Everyone at my work is sick
parabo
like I was sick at work last night, but I didn't go home. Half our crew called in sick
NarratorZ
hi dr|z3d
dr|z3d
all good over there, NarratorZ?
dr|z3d
did you notice the recent updates to the sidebar, NarratorZ?
NarratorZ
already updated
dr|z3d
yeah, I'm asking if you noticed the sidebar changes? :)
NarratorZ
Collapsible sidebar?
dr|z3d
that's the one :)
NarratorZ
Ah, the last time I was online - about a week ago we talked about this
NarratorZ
Wow, more information
dr|z3d
ah, don't mind me then :)
NarratorZ
Sooner or later, the collapsed sidebar will become the default sidebar;-)
NarratorZ
This looks much better than the default text message
dr|z3d
you might be right :)
dr|z3d
more information density, less need to scroll to see everything. that's the basic idea.
Reinhilde
*** dies ***
dr|z3d
you may also be noticed much lower Job lag in the latest builds, less than a millisecond.
dr|z3d
*noticing
NarratorZ
Indeed, the performance improvement is obvious!
NarratorZ
I also noticed that the number of medium and high speed nodes in the network is steadily increasing
NarratorZ
It's a good sign
dr|z3d
those will increase relative to your known routers, and there's a huge influx of known routers at various points.
NarratorZ
The i2p-metrics data I looked
NarratorZ
Not my own router
dr|z3d
i2p-metrics?
dr|z3d
oh, the site you mean.
XANA
Umm so MuWire is dead?
dr|z3d
what up XANA
dr|z3d
muwire isn't being actively developed but someone may yet step up.
XANA
I seen some dev drama happened
dr|z3d
well, yeah, zlatinb has departed.
XANA
will need prebuild MuWire then
XANA
or find alternative
NarratorZ
postman's tracker(
NarratorZ
or freenet over i2p :(
XANA
dr|z3d, anything new happened when I was off?
XANA
wow 366 kb's speed of torrent :D
parabo
dr|z3d: eggs

parabo
what happened to itsjustme?
itsjustme
Hey parabo
parabol
itsjustme:
parabol
i missed you
dr|z3d
new is SSU2, XANA. new is new stuff in I2P+.
parabol
itsjustme: what you doing?
itsjustme
Hey parabo
itsjustme
How are you parabol?
itsjustme
You missed me? I didn't go anywhere:)
itsjustme
I missed you <3
itsjustme
Not to much. Just working. You?
parabo
Just enjoying holiday time off work
XANA
dr|z3d, how do I know if I use SSU2?
y2kboy23
dr|z3d I think found a way to re-create the issue. When running the router with a share ratio of 10%, then webpages/IRC2P stop communicating. Increasing this to say, 20%, improves this.
y2kboy23
With a well integrated router, participating traffic seems to starve out bandwidth for client traffic.
dr|z3d
interesting, y2kboy23
dr|z3d
better to leave share at 90% and either set bandwidth to whatever's available and then limit part tunnels, or just set upstream b/w lower and leave at 90%. the former I'd recommend.
dr|z3d
router.maxParticipatingTunnels=2000 for example.
parabo
dr|z3d
dr|z3d
parabo: sort your ports you douche.
y2kboy23
I have a data cap so I'm reducing to have a bit more control over usage
parabo
dr|z3d: I can't
parabo
ISP blocks all P2P traffic
parabo
it's not the ports, I actually tried seperate ports for TCP/UDP like you suggested
dr|z3d
y2kboy23: ok, whatever works.
dr|z3d
parabo: what about running wireguard and punting all your i2p traffic out to your vps?
y2kboy23
dr|z3d I reduced my upstream and increased my share ratio. Let's see if that improves things.
dr|z3d
10 4, y2kboy23
dr|z3d
you probably want to ensure you can update if you haven't done that already. SSU2 fixes coming thick and fast lately.
parabo
dr|z3d: I don't feel like messing with that
parabo
sounds like a lot of trouble, I'm struggling to learn and become pro at Mac
dr|z3d
it's what you've got a vps for, parabo.
dr|z3d
why would it be a lot of trouble?
parabo
To learn WireGuard, to configure VPS and maintain it more actively
parabo
etc
dr|z3d
wireguard on both ends, you'll get a virtual nic you can then pipe traffic through. there are some simple UIs to configure it these days.
parabo
dr|z3d: I bought a Asus VivoBook 14 Flip, with i7 11th gen quad core 4.6ghz and 8Gb 4766mhz RAM, Iris Xe graphics, 512Gb SSD, 14" touch screen. converts to tablet
parabo
For $210
parabo
from a friend
dr|z3d
good price.
parabo
the $210 is 3 months of his cell phone bill which comes on my bill, because he has no credit
parabo
so he's giving me the laptop and I pay $68 per month for 3 months
parabo
it's worth $700 new

I need a gaming laptop
y2kboy23
dr|z3d So far so good. Even turned snark back on. pages are still loading and IRC is still connected. One downstream issue is snark setups its limits based on the router bandwidth. I had to manually adjust to account for the switch.
dr|z3d
y2kboy23: snark has a default fairly conservative upload speed, but the max download speed should be as fast as you've configured the router's down b/w
y2kboy23
snark is even connecting to most peers too. So that's the issue, in that low share ratio, things just act like the pipe is congested
dr|z3d
you'll notice there's no explict config option for download speed in snark.
dr|z3d
(only upload speed)
y2kboy23
I did see that. I did ask, but was wondering why it wasn't there
y2kboy23
didnt*
dr|z3d
it just assumes you want to download as fast as you've configured your max d/l speeds to be.
y2kboy23
That's a very good assumption
dr|z3d
:)
dr|z3d
not everything needs an explicit config button or checkbox :)
y2kboy23
very true statement
dr|z3d
you can now access the debug feature in i2psnark by hovering under the start/stop button in the table footer.
dr|z3d
(a green bug should appear)
y2kboy23
Ohhh!!!
y2kboy23
That's awesome!!
dr|z3d
:)
y2kboy23
So, I think that's a bug that I found out. Especially since a first install of i2p will do a bandwidth test, so I'm sure I'm not the only one who limits data but reducing the share ratio
y2kboy23
Just not sure if its here or upstream i2p
dr|z3d
i2p+ doesn't force the new install wizard on users, you have to select that from the homepage.
dr|z3d
it's like a problem both with upstream and i2p+ if indeed it's a bug.
dr|z3d
*likely
y2kboy23
I had 5% on vanilla i2p. I think that's what I was experiencing back when I first switched to -6 too.
y2kboy23
It just acts congested when the share ratio is very low
y2kboy23
Things are so much better right now.
dr|z3d
that's good to hear.
dr|z3d
hopefully you'll now have a chance to poke around i2p+ and enjoy it, rather than battling with it :)
parabo
dr|z3d: I am getting a PC
y2kboy23
dude, I literally felt like I was in a fight trying to get the dang thing to work
y2kboy23
and then I was trying to narrow down why, when I'm not very familiar with the inner workings
parabo
dr|z3d: how you recovering from that flu?
