Had gentoo as my daily driver for years, then it turned out that I was worse at optimizing my system than the debian guys who create distros professionally, so I just… stopped.

Spent too much time fiddling with gentoo because it was fun, now I’m on fedora because it just works and is modern enough.

(The amount of time spent fixing my system once I discovered “breakmygentoo” we probably shouldn’t talk about)

Alright, just an idea. Will check it out when I get back to my computer.

Any idea of integrating it into I2P? Being able to torrent files anonymously would be nice maybe?

Does that have live traffic data and people reporting obstacles and traffic and such?

Since magic earth went freemium and started charging for the useful bit of it I’m waiting for an alternative. ME was closed source, but I was willing to overlook that since it at least wasn’t google.

Basically I want a libre version of Waze not owned by Google. Extra sweet if they could save the traffic data in an open format on a platform where volunteers could pool resources, like IPFS or Hyphanet or something like that.

There’s the I2P network too. Not a VPN as such, but there are exit nodes and you can run one yourself if you want.

It’s not me making the claim, I just posted the link.

Piefed.europe.pub disappeared without a trace. Not even a notice I think.

Apparenly DDOSing a blog iirc. You’re not allowed to use it over at the Europe community because of it.

Let me assure you that in the large companies I’ve worked with, GDPR is taken very seriously.

I don’t think it’s an IRA original quote, but apparently they made it famous.

Not a matrix user but from what I understand you just need to be on a matrix server, not the kde one. So just sign up to one and go talk to the kde guys.

Alright, I’ll have to give it a go then. Thanks.

But you connect it to a torrent client, right?

Can this be used with i2p and anonymous torrenting?

The problem is lack of content and difficulty to find it. It’s a chicken or egg problem. Put content there, right now there’s virtually nothing worth watching. Wish there was but I can’t find anything. Not even simple instruction videos, which is a shame.

You can stream on peertube. Never tried it though.

I think the UI has improved with the latest release, but then you need to pay to use it on your car screen.

It’s where the name comes from, yes. Ian and his then girlfriend Deborah.

I knew neither.

There’s magic earth. I used it until they locked Android auto behind a subscription. A shame since it was quite good and I was happy to provide data.

Not open source though.
