I have Rust experience and will consider helping out. I've been wanting to help out Lemmy recently anyway.

There are a few sites still supporting it. I'm glad Patreon still supports creators creating porn, for example. Also porn games are becoming more accessible on places like Steam now.

Overall I agree with you though that most sites are banning or degrading in quality.

My favorite part of Rust is that if it compiles and passes the borrow checker. Like you said, it's almost guaranteed to work like you expect it to. Exceptions being potential panics and logic errors.

I've got a 'NAS' setup on my desktop computer/server. I use it for almost everything. It runs VMs and games and self-hosted servers, etc, etc. It is Arch Linux but does it all. Plex/Sonarr/Radarr/QBittorrent.

24 TB of HDD in raid 10.

I haven't found a good reason to keep a separate computer/server. It pretty much just always complicates the setup. If I need more separation, a VM is usually a better answer in most cases as far as I can see.

Thanks for working through these issues and improving performance of the website! Very appreciated. I've been tempted recently to create my own Lemmy instance, was this a problem with an nginx configuration option? How much does Beehaw deviate from a standard Lemmy deployment?

Feel free to answer vaguely if you don't feel comfortable with giving away the details : )

Question for you. How do you search for torrents on I2P? I know postman has their web interface but do you use any other tools for finding hash IDs, etc?

Qbittorrent has a search function but no python add-on exists for searching I2P as far as I know.

Yup, I'm going to guess Pegasus and Celestia combined.

Rimworld. The game has an end, but it really isn't worth getting to. The journey is the best part.

Turn off mixed mode and also fiddle with DHT. I'm not sure if DHT will bypass i2p in some cases but it's worth a shot.

I'm personally very skeptical of all these rarbg clones.

I didn't want to connect to clearnet folks. I2P only mode in qbittorrent. I just prefer qbittorrent as opposed to i2psnark. Obviously the issue is adoption and availability of torrents on i2p. I'll continue to seed new stuff on there very often though. Maybe even see if I can get RSS setup on qbittorrent for i2p as well for automatic downloading/seeding.

You gotta look at the peer lists in qbittorrent. You'll know if its i2p because you won't see regular IPs but instead i2p addresses which are much longer.

Yes it is! I did manage to figure it out. There is a guide that was posted on reddit. /r/i2p look for the recent qbittorrent thread there. The download for the guide is a torrent too.

I wish I could. It is impossible to live car free in my state though. I'd have to move somewhere that would better support it like Philly or Chicago.

Is there really nothing to do in downtown Denver? I find that hard to believe but I haven't been there myself before. I feel like it would be fun to just have all these people and bikes on the regular streets for a few hours once a month. Almost surreal to not be surrounded by cars in the middle of the city like that.

I got an ebike recently to try and enjoy riding and not be stuck in a car as much. To be honest with you guys riding around with cars on the road in my US town is terrifying even still.

Eagerly awaiting when we get more interconnected bike paths that have less interactions with cars.

I used to run OSMC and had Kodi and everything on there but honestly it was more trouble than it was worth. Kodi and it's piracy addons are pretty buggy in most cases and fail to work reliably for very long. Since then I've switched back to using Plex but soon I may have to switch again to Jellyfin.

Just as an FYI I started used Jerboa yesterday and it is working well now but it was very hard to find where to login at first. Most of the UI is disabled without logging in but I couldn't find out where to do that for like 10 minutes of searching the UI. I can see that being a pain point for new users.

People definitely need Lemmy now more than ever. Reddit is going public. It's only matter of time before they ban porn outright and stifle more communities and discussion. I'm very much looking forward to more Lemmy instances and communities.

Me over here trying to figure out how to get i2p running in qbittorrent so I don't need a VPN anymore.
