  • You want a truly multinational organization responsible for it, nothing that can be controlled by a single nation, even one as (ex)influential as the us.
    Something based on the UN perhaps.

    Combine that with making internet access a human right, to stop denying connectivity outright.

    Ideally then you could’t enforce meaningful censorship, but more realistically you would route regions to their respective governments servers so they could censor as before on their territory.
    That would not guarantee free access to the internet to everyone, but should be an acceptable compromise to basically all nations.

    After that, other doubting nations could still pull their own constellation, nothing is stopping that.

    I would love if the internet program was uncensored, but that probably needs personal circumvention same as now, if such a program wants any degree of success.


  • Starlink should not just be nationalized but internationalized.
    It is internet for everyone on earth, not everyone in the USA.

    Every larger nation deploying their own constellation would be a pointless waste of resources, and every smaller nation having to find reliable partner-nations to tap into for that internet access would inevitably lead to people ending up without access due to political games.

    Low orbit satellite constellations are the perfect candidate for sharing, they would literally sit unused over most of their orbits otherwise.





  • Was about to say this.

    I saw a small-time project using hashed phone numbers and emails a while ago, where assume stupidity instead of malice was a viable explanation.

    In this case however, Plex is large enough and has to care about securiry enough that they either
    did this on purpose to make it sound better, as a marketing move,
    did not show this to their security experts,
    or chose to ignore concerns by those experts and likely others (turning it into the first option basically)

    There is no option where someone did not either knowingly do or provoke this.





  • I have that exact setup working. qbittorrent (and -nox) are a lot more involved to set up with I2P, but there is some material on how and once you get it running it works quite well at this point.

    I don’t use docker for it, but that should work too. For browsing I use a maintained fork of proxy switchy omega, which allows to choose a proxy profile based on the url, making it easy to pipe i2p pages into the i2pd socks port (I use I2Pd not I2P, don’t think it matters much). qbittorrent can be configured in the same way to statically use the the local (4447 on i2pd) port as a proxy to prevent any clearnet communication. In addition it needs the dedicated I2P host 127.0.0.1 and port 7656 (the sam bridge, giving deeper access to I2P).

    Don’t expect to do anything on the clearnet over I2P, the exits are not good and it’s not what I2P is meant for. For that reason don’t set I2P up as something like a system proxy/vpn, instead pipe the specific programs you want using I2P into the proxy ports using their proxy settings.

    To get rid of the firewalled status in the I2P daemon, you will need to forward ports. Maybe you have seen advice for servers that are not behind a firewall and nat, so that effectively have all ports “forwarded” already. The mythical dedicated IPv4 address.
    In your case you need to pick the port your I2P daemon uses for host to host communication randomly, then forward both TCP and UDP for it on IPv4. Also make sure you even can forward ports, depending on region ISPs no longer hand out dedicated IPv4 even per router, so you might have to specifically ask your ISP for one (I had to). But that is all generic hosting, if you can set up a minecraft server you can make I2P have full connectivity.




  • Same.
    I like it because it solves my kleptomania hoarding disorder urge to collect everything in case I need it later.

    Thinking back to the old equivalent exchange mod for Minecraft, maybe the solution is to allow conversion of all items to some currency, and then locking the conversion from that currency back to items in the same way as journey mode. Converting would be done in the same place as researching, maybe researching could even give diminished currency.

    The lore explanation is that you need to take apart items to understand them, after which you can assemble them and disassemble them efficiently.
    Magic cannot be assembled, which is why enchanted weapons revert to their normal variants. Any item causing problems when convertible can be blocked for being “too magical” to assemble.

    I really whish this was a thing now.
