dr|z3d if we run out of valid peers to explore, why not just stop until we learn about some more?

zzz if you're low on peers you need to do something

zzz the expl. system just got really janky over the years, trying and failing to fix hidden mode, a bunch of injected bugs, it's not a good story

dr|z3d that's where I think the in-network reseed starts to look useful. less onerous on the network and the router. just ask another router, "hey, toss me over 30 peers would ya?"

zzz been working on hidden mode for a month trying to get to the bottom of it

dr|z3d let's face it, if you're low on peers, searching for random keys that may or may not exist probably isn't going to save you.

zzz you'll have to explain why in-net reseed is any better than (properly implemented) exploration where you chase the DSRM hashes

dr|z3d explore the good hashes all you like, but if you just want some fresh peers because you're low, just ask another router to toss you over some. original used to do that, not sure if he does anymore.

zzz thats what exploration is. gimme some hashes. then ask him for the RIs. now you have as many RIs as you want

orignal if you think it's better to reply with RI I will do this way

dr|z3d sure, I'm just saying we're also exploring for random hashes. we can probably not bother with that.

dr|z3d and if we can just snag as many RIs as we need in bundles without having to expend any initial effort, all the better. we can toss them on the explore queue for later.

orignal respond with 16 like i2pd does

orignal please tell me how i2pd never has an issue with low number or routers

orignal even without transit

zzz easy. because you don't implement hidden mode.

dr|z3d LOL

zzz I'm trying to fix problems, you think it's time to brag about how you're better?

dr|z3d orignal: do something useful, get a haircut.

orignal but I have "stan" mode

orignal well I'm asking what's a problem

orignal because expolratory is a easy as mooing

orignal please explain what I'm missing

zzz nothing.

orignal then what's with hidden mode?

orignal becuse I have hidden mode implicitly

zzz it tends to run out of peers, because exploration has issues, and I'm fixing that

T3s|4 welcome Sh0ck :D

T3s|4 now you've got a voice, here, Sh0ck

T3s|4 Sh0ck: also because you have many Tb of content to potentially share on snark, it's important your i2p+ and snark settings are optimized. dr|z3d is right man to ask :D

T3s|4 *the right man

orignal optimized in what sense?

T3s|4 orignal: the number of snark tunnels in/out and the number of hops for each path, plus any desired in.out leengthVariance

T3s|4 *lengthVariance

dr|z3d we go up to a max of 32 outbound tunnels now in the snark + UI.. if you're hosting a ton of torrents, bumping your outbound tunnel count won't hurt.

wew i'm a little confused. spec here geti2p.net/en/docs/applications/bittorrent says that non-compact announces is deprecated and all clients should use compact mode. but compact mode does sha256(dest) and then how do clients connect to each other knowing only sha256 of destination?

zzz cumlord, typo in your changelog Qauntum

zzz wew, b32 lookup

Sh0ck t

Sh0ck Its working T3s|4 !

Sh0ck Thanks <3

dr|z3d welcome to #saltr, Sh0ck

T3s|4 glad you're persistent, Sh0ck :D

wew does i2p have some non-standard base64 for destinations? stuck with decoding it using encoding/base64 in golang. sometimes it decodes, sometimes not lol

wew nvm, found at github.com/go-i2p/common

zzz yup

zzz fun fact, we do -~ and freenet does ~-

orignal i2p's base64 is different

cumlord thanks ;) one of these days i'll learn to use spellcheck

wew =)

Sh0ck Hey guys, why is my i2psnark not uploading?

Sh0ck All my other stuff on i2pplus is working fine and network test is good too

orignal wrong torrent

orignal take one with many leeches

Sh0ck Im hosting

Sh0ck Seeding*

Sh0ck Its my GBA collection

Sh0ck I want to share with postman, i already have 5 leechers

Sh0ck But i cannot seed to them apparently

orignal give me a magnet

Sh0ck Sure moment

orignal I will join

orignal my snark upload like 250 Kbs right now

Sh0ck magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ed7b27576b6f9c0b8ac2f1b5a98b165b925391a5&tr=http://tracker2.postman.i2p/announce.php&dn=GBA

orignal can't find peers

Sh0ck Torrent file? tracker2.postman.i2p/index.php?view=TorrentDetail&id=90068&start=0&limit=20

Sh0ck does i2psnark use a different port than the i2p ones?

orignal 3 peers no seeds

Sh0ck Thats wierd cuss im definetly seeding

orignal let's wait

Sh0ck Its been online for 7 hours

orignal maybe that's the reason

orignal other peers can't find you

Sh0ck Its been online too long?

orignal idk

orignal why I can't find you

orignal probably others too

Sh0ck WAIT

Sh0ck Its happening

Sh0ck I think

Sh0ck Its 1/6 now

orignal pwhe

orignal you?

Sh0ck Seeding to one peer

Sh0ck :D

Sh0ck Lets goooooooo

orignal I'm connected to 1 peers right now

Sh0ck It probably was because i started the torrent before i registered it

Sh0ck Restarting fixed it i think

Sh0ck Because i did not touch anything else besides that for the last 7 hours

Sh0ck Sweet

Sh0ck Enjoy the roms lol, thanks!

orignal 270 b/s ))

Sh0ck Seeding to 2 now :D

Sh0ck I set my limits to 99999

Sh0ck Have 1 GB fiber up and down

Sh0ck So what are these pools and how do i join them to help more

Sh0ck There like collections of ok

cumlord you just make them so things are grouped

cumlord also in #torrents you can do $infohash ED7B27576B6F9C0B8AC2F1B5A98B165B925391A5 and should scrape trackers to see if it's showing up

Sh0ck Im about to upload all of .hack

Sh0ck 5/6 torrents

Sh0ck I want to group them like that before i register them

Sh0ck Im browsing the traker right now

Sh0ck But cannot find the option

cumlord easier to upload them first then create the pool

Sh0ck Aight im done uploading the 7 had to lookup the codecs in the exif data and all to make sure i got all the info and of course add synopses

Sh0ck descriptions

Sh0ck Where can i add them to a pool?

Sh0ck They are all seeding and registered :)

cumlord on your profile page there’s a pools icon, go there and add pool, then you can select them all when you make it

dr|z3d Sh0ck: In order for them to be downloadable quicker, create torrent, edit torrent if you want to add metadata info, make sure you have postman's tracker selected, uploaded torrent, *then* start torrent.

dr|z3d *upload

Sh0ck Can i2pplus do that?

Sh0ck Inject that metadata?

dr|z3d sure.. with the torrent stopped, view the torrent info page and then edit torrent.

dr|z3d you can modify the available trackers, and add a comment. those are your options. I usually add a comment.

dr|z3d you want to do that *before* you upload the torrent to postman.

Sh0ck I am adding the watch order of the anime too in the pool description c:

dr|z3d Also, make sure you've enabled "Update with unsigned development builds" on /configui .. if you want the latest builds, configure the /dev update path for the url..

dr|z3d either way, you want to make sure you have unsigned updates enabled. if you're running -0+ then there are various bug fixes available in the latest builds.

Sh0ck Thanks!

dr|z3d (specifically bug fixes for snark)

Sh0ck This is the pool i just made, im still adding .hack roots tracker2.postman.i2p/index.php?view=TPoolDetail&id=1778

Sh0ck What format do i use for those comments dr|z3d

Sh0ck Is it documented somewhere?

Sh0ck I have like 50TB of data i would love to share with i2p

dr|z3d Standard text, no syntax support.

dr|z3d Don't make the comments too long, otherwise they may get truncated.

Sh0ck Oh i meant more like what i put in there, i assume i need to do some key:value stuff

dr|z3d No, it's a comment field, you just add a summary of the torrent or whatever.

dr|z3d entirely optional.

Sh0ck Oooooh but i might as well use the web form i think because i add the language and codecs and subtitle group info too as well as the description from imdb/anidb

Sh0ck So it displays nicely on the postman tracker

dr|z3d sure, definitely do that. I normally add a summary as well.

dr|z3d but up to you.

Sh0ck For stuff like that rom archive it could be usefull

Sh0ck Since those dont have all that extra metadata

dr|z3d It's something snark users will see when (if) they view the info page for the torrent. So bear that in mind.. you want a summary, not an essay.

Sh0ck I keep them real short

Sh0ck Literally what you would see before you select a show on plex or jellyfin

cumlord you can grab mediainfo and search tmdb/imdb for the info so not have to do manually, if not doing that

Sh0ck Yeah a simple script could do that, even a bash alias if im feeling cheeky

Sh0ck Good idea :)

cumlord mine takes the containing dir name to search tmdb>run media info>create nfo>rename files>hash with time offset>remove metadata from images and resize>copies seeders>symlink>start torrent

Sh0ck Yeah i should automate it considering i have my whole torrent operation already automated outside of i2p

Sh0ck And soulseek just goes mental with lidarr

Sh0ck Well that its untill they fix the metadata cache server because now now searches are resovling

cumlord keeps things sane if feel like doing a lot :)

Sh0ck Man im getting so much limewire nostalgia from i2psnark

RN limewire... LOL

Sh0ck Im from that generation c:

Sh0ck good stuff

uop23ip Sh0ck, there is something like limewire for i2p. muwire, but its dev abandoned it or is not reachable any more.

Sh0ck duck: thats too bad that sounded awesome

Sh0ck Did not mean to tag you sorry

uop23ip but it is still working

Sh0ck Thanks i will look into it :o

Sh0ck Anyone knows any good sites for mirroring normal clear net sites like with vidiuous

uop23ip muwire: github.com/zlatinb/muwire

dr|z3d yeah, but no.

dr|z3d torrenting is the way to go right now. muwire is abandonware.

dr|z3d Sh0ck: notbob.i2p .. have a browse.

onon_ i2pd+qbittorrent best way now

dr|z3d shut up, onon_

dr|z3d *** laughs. ***

onon_ xD

dr|z3d do something useful, port that patch. :)

Sh0ck Aight then is there a system frontend for i2psnark since i run my router on a server, i wonder if there is a better frontend or server you can use for i2p torrenting that helps with your router

dr|z3d there's i2psnark-rpc plugin available from stats.i2p/i2p/plugins

dr|z3d zzz will tell you about it.

onon_ Sh0ck, qbittorrent...

onon_ And i2pd...

dr|z3d that's not a front end for snark.

onon_ qbittorrent have front end

dr|z3d also, seriously, onon_, stop banging the same drum. please.

onon_ Ok

Sh0ck Can i hook tixati uo

dr|z3d "what pizza should I order" "spaghetti"

Sh0ck Because i like tixati

dr|z3d if it supports i2p, yes, if it doesn't, no.

dr|z3d support.tixati.com/i2p

dr|z3d that should run fine with I2P+

Sh0ck :D

Sh0ck Yeeee

onon_ On the settings page in i2Psnark there is an i2CP parameters field. What list of parameters does it accept and what syntax?

onon_ i2p-projekt.i2p/en/docs/protocol/i2cp

dr|z3d welcome to #saltr, xHarr

xHarr Hello

dr|z3d two new voiced users in one day, things are getting busy :)

dr|z3d onon_: are you asking about i2cp?

onon_ Rather about i2psnark

onon_ Can I increase the number of tags generated or the size of the window there?

dr|z3d I don't think those parameters are exposed.

dr|z3d orignal: seen snowflakes lately?

onon_ Snark works very slowly, it may have so it would be possible to "boost" it a little

dr|z3d feel free to suggest tweaks to the source if you find them and think mods will speed things up.

onon_ I could make it fast, but I don't know java

onon_ Yes, and I have no time
