in my understanding offset is technically the "relative index", or how much you have to go further

you aren't. to me this is just PR

I'll try this, thanks. but to fill in some missing context from my part, this is what I have been experiencing for the little more than a year I'm running an I2P router.

the catch is that you don't own that camera, only the manufacturer does. besides requiring an account and a connection to china to be able to use it, they have access to both your network, and to the camera feed. they'll use the network info to gather info about you, and the camera feed to train their face and gait recognition AIs, possibly also for intelligence

oh that was it, the account requirement was what I wanted to remember but couldn't! was sure it was something even worse, thanks for the help.

yeah if I would buy such a TV by accident, I would bring it back within the return period and tell that it was faulty, because it is.

the available outproxies were very much overwhelmed

honestly that's still my experience. it's not rare that websites like a DDG results page does not even load, I think from time to time I even have unable to connect errors, even though as I have stormycloud as my outproxy. probably something on my end, though, it seems then

there is 0% risk until your country makes a law that prohibits any and all P2P communication. That would not only break torrents, but would thwart signal/telegram/whatsapp calls too, Jitsi meetings, probably google meet and zoom too, as all those use P2P traffic for performance.

So far there are only such laws in far east countries, and the official java I2P router is smart enough to not participate in routing when you are in such a place.
Also, I think for routing to work you need to open a port, without it that won't be done.

as a node

• you are unable to see the contents of traffic you route thanks to layered encryption
• you wont be routing traffic to the internet (unless you specifically set it up), but only to other I2P routers

I know nothing about seedboxes, but on a computer you can point multiple torrents to the same directory. If you make it read-only, by permission or mount options or whatever, the torrent client can't even fuck it up

I can guess too! With my guess, AI is already using 420 TWh annually!

What if we wouldn't guess anything like this? This is not just not meaningful, but straight out misleading.

I remember that roku TVs refuse working until you connect it to the internet. their values/intentions are clear, I wouldn't give money to them

edit: they also require registering a roku account

and that even is just circus
