  • From my understanding, i2p is an anonymity focused way to access the Internet. It cant access normal websites, but it can access I2P websites. The main difference between i2p and tor routing is that i2p uses what's called "garlic routing" and tor uses "onion routing". Without getting into specifics, unlike Tor, on i2p in order to join the network you also have to let other people's traffic go through your computer. This is called being a relay. I2p initially started as a way to obfuscate your IP address to access IRC channels, but has been expanded to be its own dark web.

    i2pd is just the program that would allow you to connect to the i2p network. Usually when a program has the letter d at the end, it's what's called a daemon, which is just a program that sits in the background waiting for you to ask it to handle something. In this case i2pd is waiting to handle your i2p traffic.

  • I'm curious about your point of view bc ur comment sounds like you don't believe in religion but your username sounds like something religious(I'm not a native Arabic speaker). It roughly translates to "witness of worship", right?

  • The only thing I build from source on a normal basis is LMMS because there's some features on main you just can't get anywhere else. For example, the slicer that comes with LMMS nightly isn't in the builds, and particularly recently someone pushed a commit that allows for resizing of the slicer, so I just had to pull that and build it.

  • Reading the rust book is a great use of your time. Rawdogging is a good method if you're just concerned with things you're working on. You can also read documentation on different things that you may not be working on, but know is a gap in knowledge. For me that was the async and tokio books as async rust is a bitch.

    A lot of rust libraries use the same approach by having some type of "book" for documentation. I treat them like normal reading, so I'll be out and about or just sitting and I'll pull one out and read it leisurely. It's another way I've found to learn by osmosis. Doesn't even have to be something I'm working on, just something interesting. It sounds like you're doing what interests you, and that's what's important.

  • I'm not an expert but I'm guessing unencrypted DNS requests and potentially monitoring IPs of different torrents. DNS requests would show what websites a user is going to, and then you can always see peer IPs when connected to a torrent.
