Is it okay if I DM you any questions that come up while I explore this magical new world called I2P?

    Hah uh yeah, sure!

    Though, As I've said elsewhere... in terms of actual implementation of this, I'm really a novice at best, maybe up to 'intermediate' at a few things.

    From the rest of this thread, it seems kyliann0087 is more well versed in this, has their own bit of an ongoing service set up in i2p land...

    I am happy to try to help, but you might ask them what you've just asked of me, I suspect if they agreed, they'd be more useful than I would be.

    I'm uh... more of an I2P fanboy/evangelist, lol.

    EDIT

    ok here are some of the resources i mentioned earlier/elswhere in the thread, but was too lazy to link earlier:

    Mental Outlaw:

    Intro to I2P (5 yo youtube video)

    Make Linux Ungovernable with I2P (much more recent youtube video)

    How I run Darknets From My Home Internet (5 yo odysee video, because some of this content/info is apparently too spicy for YouTube)

    An 'Awesome-I2P' list, basically a curated list of many different I2P projects/software:

    Lol no problem! I'm a fangirl/evangelist for Linux, and I'm only intermediate at it.

    Thanks for the resouces; I love awesome-* lists! Also the videos look rather interesting (I see that Linux-Libre penguin...)

    I'll get started today, methinks. It's my day off :3

    I think MO sells his own merch shirts, with linux inspired/related designs.

    Like the penguin with showering equipment... that he almost certainly designed to be worn to conventions, with linux people, to politely remind them to bathe, lol.

    Oh no, the showering penguin is official. He's the mascot for Linux-Libre, a fork which cleans up the kernel by removing non-free, proprietary blobs.

    ... I can't shower or draw a bath until it gets below at least 80F ... or ... my entire apartment will become a sauna and basically give me heat stroke.

    Yay super el nino.... ughhhhh....

    I take cold showers in the Summer. Otherwise, I literally sweat. Like, in the shower.

    Same, on all counts.

    Problem is that we're above the temp where the AC can really do anything, where I am... it is simply too hot outside.

    So, if I turn on the steam machine, im just wet bulbing myself in the next hour or two, even if the shower itself is cooling.

    It'd turn into a sauna, one that I can't really meaningfully air out, because it is also humid outside.

    ... Still 86F. Might be 80F in 2 or 3 hours... uggggh i am a bog monster lol.
