T3s|4_ o/ dr|z3d - I have grabbed several in-console updates and restarted over the past 2 days. I also within the past minutes pulled the latest from skank. However, under Router Info it seems I have been stuck at: 0ba28831 (Build date: 2023-02-24 17:50:48 UTC) for the past 2 days. Any insights?

T3s|4 dr|z3d: and my other laptop is also showing the ^same (0ba28831 (Build date: 2023-02-24 17:50:48 UTC) despite re-staring into the 26 Feb 01:52 update...

T3s|4 *re-starting

dr|z3d T3s|4: check logs.

dr|z3d joefoe_: register your nick for +v

dr|z3d see also /msg nickserv help group

shiver moin, dr|z3d looks like i got some issues. my ff role is "Active (unpublished)". i also got almost no active peers and transit tunnels.

dr|z3d hey shiver, that's unfortunate.

dr|z3d the stealth role for your firewall is expected, I'm about to push an update that reverts that to normal behavior.

shiver the peers and tunnels dropped over a week or so

shiver only my ipv6 i firewalled

shiver *is

dr|z3d ok, could be something to do with the router thinking it's a floodfill, but the network not having the same view because it's hidden.

shiver wait

dr|z3d hmm?

shiver was looking if i'm in hidden mode or something

shiver but no

dr|z3d no, it's a config tweak I made probably a week or so ago to hide floodfill participation by default while I figured out the best way to publish stats.

dr|z3d it's one of those old, crufty config settings buried deep in the source that, tbh, shouldn't be there, doesn't really serve any useful purpose.

dr|z3d except it allows me to effectively turn off floodfill status while I'm working through an issue :)

dr|z3d give me a few minutes, I'll build an update.

shiver take your time, still don't understand why even without ff my peers/tunnels are so low.

dr|z3d it may be because when you're a ff, you don't explore the netdb.

RN should really use fake@mail.i2p instead of just a fake email.

shiver i should enable logging for changes like ff status etc.

dr|z3d you can do, if it's automatic. but you don't need to.

dr|z3d new build coming up...

dr|z3d ok, built and uploaded.

shiver maybe i should update more often when on the dev build because of things like this :D

dr|z3d in normal times, changes like this don't happen very often, but with the network under attack, things have been a bit irregular lately.

shiver trying to connect...

dr|z3d running i2p/eephead skank.i2p can help.

dr|z3d if you get a header back, you know you have the leaseset.

dr|z3d if you don't, you know there's an issue retrieving said leaseset.

dr|z3d which, in the current climate, could indicate shitty ffs handling the lookup.

T3s|4 dr|z3d: from my logs, and I've seen multiple instances:

T3s|4 File location: /home/user/.i2p/wrapper.log

dr|z3d standard behavior.

dr|z3d not that, what about the update indicator..

dr|z3d d8cff726 is current now.

shiver i'm doing eepget

dr|z3d eepget is ok as a last resort, but it won't update the console info to the latest version, so when a new version is indicated, it may well be the version you're downloading :)

T3s|4 dr|z3d: the last thing I can see in my logs matching 'update' is":4

dr|z3d occasionally I may build an update with new stuff that hasn't made it to git, so the rev will stay the same.

shiver eephead: No response from: skank.i2p

dr|z3d yeah, I think you're fine, T3s|4

dr|z3d shiver: keep doing that until you get a response.

T3s|4 noted dr|z3d - and, ofc, np - thanks

dr|z3d no worries

shiver will do

dr|z3d I see that here more often than I'd like, too, shiver.. shitty ffs, probably.

dr|z3d if you want to increase the chance of having the skank leaseset available, and quicker updates as a result, you can always set a 10m crontab for eephead.

dr|z3d shouldn't normally be necessary.

shiver checking for update normally works but when you need it the most it doesn't :D

dr|z3d yeah, I might have to tweak the ls requests so they consult more ffs concurrently.

T3s|4 shiver: fwiw, I just surfed to skank.i2p moments ago - and it loaded almost instantly :D

shiver the -n option of eephead doesn't work for me

shiver got the update.

Afkaid Hello

Afkaid Something interesting in that new update ?

shiver moin Afkaid

Afkaid moin ?

shiver i don't know apart from the fix i needed

Afkaid ok

shiver moin just means hello

Afkaid ok ^^

shiver or good morning

Afkaid Ok ! I understand

dr|z3d new in the latest update is a reinstatement of floodfill mode, Afkaid

Afkaid ok

dr|z3d gitlab.com/i2pplus/I2P.Plus/-/commits/master?ref_type=heads

dr|z3d normally anything between the green circled ticks there indicates what's new.

Afkaid ok

shiver ff role is published now, will report back about peers/tunnels

dr|z3d not always, I don't always push everything to master at the same time as I build locally, but often.

dr|z3d excellent, shiver!

shiver thank you again dr|z3d!

dr|z3d always welcome, shiver, thanks for reporting.

dr|z3d I was in the process of making the mods you needed anyways, but it never hurts to ping me if something seems off :)

shiver maybe a dumb idea to set ff to forced i guess?

dr|z3d not dumb at all. up to you.

dr|z3d I mean, assuming you have the resources to throw at it.

dr|z3d just don't be firewalled and floodfill, or floodfill with NTCP disabled :)

Afkaid I keep the ff as automatic, but I never seen it participate

dr|z3d either of those 2 configs will get your router banned by other I2P+ routers. we don't want that :)

dr|z3d depends on a bunch of things, Afkaid, number of reported ffs in the netdb, the amount of b/w you're sharing.

Afkaid ok

dr|z3d you need to be at least N tier iirc. not firewalled, either.

shiver but you said "may be because when you're a ff, you don't explore the netdb" when i said that my peers/tunnels are low

dr|z3d shiver: yeah, because your router was a "stealth" floodfill, it wasn't advertising that fact to the netdb, but it was still configured as a FF so various things wouldn't be running, like peer exploration job.

shiver would it jump out of ff if i set it to automatic?

dr|z3d not immediately.

shiver that is what i mean, because i set it to forced it didn't change to non ff and start it's normal jobs.

dr|z3d forced is fine ordinarily.

dr|z3d and it's fine now I've reverted the behavior of ff publication.

dr|z3d (or should be)

shiver :D

dr|z3d the more good ffs there are on the network, the less effective any attacks involving shit ffs will be.

shiver active peers go up a bit

dr|z3d yeah, will take a while for your ff status to propagate, but it'll pick up in time.
