From what I remember, it's very slow and has little activity, except maybe among Russians.

The protocol itself is nice, and the community isn't half bad from what I've seen, but... yeah, if you're want to join some forums or imageboards or whatever there, you pretty much have two choices: speak Russian or suffer. I do attest to the Russian I2P imageboards being great though. :>

I heard that there are some IRC servers on I2P as well, but I haven't joined any of those, so I can't speak for how active or interesting they are.

The ability to torrent with it is neat and the fact that qbittorrent supports I2P now even more so. I feel like it finds more adoption among hobbyists and regular people who want to be anonymous rather than criminals which is a good thing (although this seems to change in recent years as more criminal and criminal-adjacent websites like dread move to it).

The biggest problem for me is that there is no real browser for I2P and all the projects offers is merely a Firefox with changed proxy settings. Either they do it like Tor and actually change the browser substantially in order to make it suitable for browsing I2P or they leave it to the users. Unfortunately leaving it to the users opens doors to plenty of OPSEC mistakes. Even Tor has a huge security problem where the browser isn't even half as secure as it would need to be due to pandering to normalfags needs who don't care about security. I see the same problem in I2Ps case where they want to use a full-blown Firefox without any security considerations.

jesus christ anon, you can do function defines inside of classes why the fuck is it a named lambda????
also it wouldn't work. every member of the dataclass must be serializable otherwise the code will crash trying to dump it to json.

>why the fuck is it a named lambda
Brevity. But yeah, it's ugly. If I could, I'd write it like this

alive: self.max_hunger > self.hunger
...
...
data.alive

>every member of the dataclass must be serializable otherwise the code will crash trying to dump it to json
You can omit the alive member from the json and it will work.

#!./chanogachi.py
{
  "hunger_speed": 0.18333333333333332,
  "max_hunger": 25,
  "hunger": 7.794536099999998,
  "last_interaction": 1709928440.36794
}

I tried this and I was amazed it actually worked. I would've assumed that dataclass would've interpreted it as an argument with a callable type and a default value instead of being a class member.
The downside to your golf is, if the chanogachi is dead, every time you run the code it will add more hunger forever.
it's simple to fix though, just check if it's alive before doing anything.

by the recommendation of some anons on lainchan IRC I'm thinking about re-writing it in smalltalk so that it's an image-based program.
Or figure out how to make python image-based (dear god forgive me for even thinking about this)

If you want a mind-bender, you could try writing it in Red. It's a very odd, esoteric language.

this only works for 32bit systems and right now Debian is in the middle of a time64 transition, so the i386 arch repositories are going to abandoned soon in favor of the new i686 arch, which provides 64 bit time_t.
It won't impact my ability to use it right now, but I hope this project doesn't go kaput in 2038 when time_t rolls over, or goes kaput trying to make it compile on i686.
Will still give it a look like everything else, thanks!
