the KIDS act may or may not pass the US senate, the EU is planning a social media ban, chat control might pass, etc… what exactly do i have to do to prep for all this?

I2P
I2P!
I2PPPPPPPPP!!!
We can build another internet here, if we want to.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2P
Imagine p2p torrents, but crazy encrypted, and you build an internet out of that. That’s basically I2P.
Everyone is a dns/routing server for everyone else, and no one actually knows whose traffic is going where.
If you stay inside of I2P, its basically impossible to be de anonymized, unlike with TOR, where a government LE or Intel agency can just operate nodes and de anonymize people.
I wish someone would figure out how to combine Hyphanet (original Freenet) and I2P. Basically the network based storage rather than having to have each services server online all the time to work.
This only works until governments start blocking it. Right?
I mean, no 100% guarantees here, but I don’t know how they would block it…
I guess they could just block an entire massive port range or something, but I think that would break a good chunk of the internet.
I think the more realistic fear in this case would be your own at home router or pc itself having backdoors and rootkits you don’t know about, that then ‘phone home’, or perhaps store some kind of local log you don’t know exists, that they grab physically.
Yeah I think they’d have to basically say ‘its illegal to use anything other than a US gov approved router and browser and OS, brought to you by megagcorp,’ full on cyberpunk fascist overdrive.
Now would even that totally block it? Technically, no, effectively, probably?
Honestly, do you own research on this… I’m not an expert, I could be wrong, but my understanding of it so far is that… yeah, it would take ‘unthinkable’ measures to effectively block this.
Yes! I totally agree. I do host a public yacy instance over I2P already (search engine)
I have been experimenting with Lemmy and stoat over I2P. I did get them working but it is still a big Hassel. Also for anyone wanting to try hosting stoat. You can’t use i2pd because it doesnt implement full socks which breaks some of the http headers you need with stoat.
If you can actually figure out some more shit there, document it, that would be extremely useful information, imo.
Theoretically, at least a modified version of lemmy should be constructible within I2P land… but trying to make it accessible via clearnet would… almost certainly be basically not worth it, and arguably defeat the entire point?
It is possible to use I2P as effectively an extremely complex VPN sort of thing for clearnet, via outproxies, but you then just have to trust the outproxy, basically.
I would not make it accessible on the clearnet. Kinda defaults the purpose. I rather have things be usable like normal but over I2P.
Written in … Java!
Whyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Jokes aside; very cool.
There’s a version written in C++: https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd
Also a rather new rust implementation https://github.com/eepnet/emissary
