movie-web was just taken down with all its repos, Yuzu was taken down, then suyu forked it on github, was taken down, then moved to gitlab and was taken down again, countless clones of nintendo games, platform emulators, and a bunch of other things are taken down because they are hosted on the clear web.

If you’re a dev and planning to write software for piracy, host it on I2P!

    I hate C as much as most programmers, but there are very few low-level networking tools that make me think “I wish this was written in Java”. At least Tor is being rewritten into Rust, so the point will be moot soon enough.

    The Java 8 + ant instructions on Github also make me suspect that they’re not using a particularly recent version of Java either. There are even components that seem to be written for Java 6, and Java 7 runtimes seem to be the default target for most operating systems.

    I was sort of hoping to see I2P be an early adopter of Project Loom for high performance, but I guess they’re focused more on keeping old and outdated computers compatible.
