Freenet Icon

Freenet is easy to setup, provides excellent friend To Friend Sharing vs I2P, and is great for publishing content anonymously. It's quite large in size, and very slow so not the best choice for casual browsing.

  • David ‘Bombe’ Roden (02 Sept 24)

    🐛 Build JAR file correctly The default “jar” task a pre-defined input with compileJava’s output, which includes the original, non-replaced Version.class. I have not found a way to disable the pre-defined input, or modify it in a way that would still allow me to add a Version.class from a different task’s output. What’s happening now is that there is a new task, “buildJar.” It is an almost verbatim copy of what the “jar” task previously contained with an added input (compileVersion’s output). This jar task does not have a pre-defined input and as such only includes what is being specified. The original jar task has been disabled and has been given the buildJar task as dependency. That way the jar task can still be run from the command line where it doesn’t do anything (because it’s disabled) but it will require the buildJar task to be run which then does the actual work.

    🐛 Run Git from the project directory When using the gradle-daemon to build a project, the working directory the script is executed in is the local directory of the gradle-daemon running the script. By explicitely specifying the directory to execute Git in, this will now work with and without gradle-daemon.

More Mix Networks

  • Tor provides robust anonymity, allowing you to defend against surveillance, circumvent censorship and reduce tracking. It blocks trackers, resists fingerprinting and implements multi-layered encryption by default, meaning you can browse freely. Tor also allows access to OnionLand: hidden services.

  • I2P offers great generic transports, it is well geared towards accessing hidden services, and has a couple of technical benefits over Tor: P2P friendly with unidirectional short-lived tunnels, it is packet-switched (instead of circuit-switched) with TCP and UDP, and continuously profiles peers, in order to select the best performing ones. I2P is less mature, but fully-distributed and self-organising, its smaller size means that it hasn't yet been blocked or DOSed much.
