12:01 < jrandom> 0) hi 12:01 < jrandom> 1) 0.6.0.3 status 12:01 < jrandom> 2) IRC status 12:01 < jrandom> 3) susibt 12:01 < jrandom> 4) Syndie 12:01 < jrandom> 5) ??? 12:01 < jrandom> 0) hi 12:01 * jrandom waves 12:01 < lucky> hi 12:02 < jrandom> weekly status notes up @ http://dev.i2p.net/pipermail/i2p/2005-August/000857.html 12:02 < lucky> hihihihi 12:02 < jrandom> hi lucky 12:02 < jrandom> ok, jumping into 1) 0.6.0.3 status 12:02 < jrandom> i think the biggest things worth mentioning wrt 0.6.0.3 are in the status notes, but beyond that, anyone have anything to bring up? 12:04 < gott> What's the deal with 'Unknown' ? 12:04 < jrandom> i'm not sure whether the ssu cwin improvements will come in 0.6.0.4 or will wait until 0.6.1 when we have better peer / configuration 12:04 < jrandom> gott: there are two paragraphs in the email related to that - do you have any specific questions beyond those? 12:05 < jrandom> or is there some point i could clarify? 12:05 < gott> No, I just haven't read the bloody email. 12:05 < jrandom> heh 12:05 < jrandom> well, scroll up five lines and read the bloody email ;) 12:06 < jrandom> ok, anyone else have any questions on 0.6.0.3? 12:07 < jrandom> if not, moving on to 2) IRC status 12:07 < modulus> sorry guys, but need to leave. later all. 12:08 < jrandom> beyond whats in the mail, postman/cervantes/arcturus: y'all have anything you want to bring up? 12:08 < jrandom> l8r modulus 12:08 <+arcturus> on 1)? 12:08 <+arcturus> oh sorry 12:08 < gott> Hmm. 12:08 <+arcturus> 2) it is now 12:09 < gott> How much upstream bandwidth does IRC over i2p usually take at the moment ? 12:09 <+arcturus> netsplits are history 12:09 <+arcturus> gott: i coudln't say that without compromising my router's anonymity 12:09 < gott> No, no, no. 12:10 < jrandom> not sure, my router with squid.i2p/dev.i2p/cvs.i2p/www.cvs/syndiemedia.i2p plus my irc and eepproxy uses on average 10-20KBps 12:10 < gott> Does it require a commercial line ? 12:10 < jrandom> nice1 arcturus 12:10 < gott> jrandom: I mean to say, to host. 12:10 < jrandom> gott: to operate a server or a client? 12:10 < jrandom> ah 12:10 <+arcturus> gott: i couldn't say that without compromising my router's anonymity 12:10 < gott> server. 12:10 * jrandom knows not. probably less when you have just one ircd 12:10 < gott> So are you running a modified unrealircd ? 12:11 < jrandom> say, add a factor of 1.3 to the client usage for a single server 12:11 <+arcturus> i'd like to also add that inter-server lag is steady and very very low 12:11 < gott> I assume you are, since there doesn't seem to be a VERSION command 12:11 <+arcturus> i disabled version 12:12 < gott> Are your modifications open-source ? 12:12 <+arcturus> maybe we're running unreal, maybe we aren't :) 12:12 < gott> You should put them up so others can start their own private networks. 12:12 <+arcturus> i can't tell you without compromising security 12:12 < gott> security through obscurity, sweet. 12:12 < jrandom> word arcturus. i'm seeing something like 0-2s lag on average (at the moment, less than irssi's lag detector) 12:12 <+arcturus> no, it's only one layer of security 12:13 <+arcturus> and it only serves as a deterrent, no substitute for technical security measures 12:15 < jrandom> arcturus: how goes with vanguard? 12:15 <+arcturus> i haven't coded on it lately, other projects have been occupying me, but there's a constant, steady pressure i feel to get around to finishing it :) 12:16 < jrandom> heh coo' 12:16 <+arcturus> vanguard will be most effective against bots, the hashcash measure is a separate deal 12:16 <+arcturus> i'm concerned about hashcash now though 12:17 <+arcturus> with the latest attacks against sha-1 12:17 <+arcturus> it won't be long before there are tools available to the masses 12:17 <+arcturus> unfortunately the standard hashcash implementation is based entirely on sha-1 12:17 < susi23_> Unable to find a javac compiler; // com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath. // Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK 12:18 <@cervantes> ah made it 12:18 < susi23_> any ideas about this? JAVA_HOME points definitely to the right dir, javac is in PATH and callable 12:18 <+arcturus> susi23_: we're in a meeting atm :) 12:18 < jrandom> susi23_: OOM? 12:18 < susi23_> meeting? though its 8pm? 12:18 < jrandom> (precompile your jsps rather than letting jetty/tomcat do it, its faster ;) 12:19 < jrandom> yeah we moved it susi23_ :) 12:19 < susi23_> didn't know, sorry 12:19 < jrandom> hehe np, glad you made it for the meeting, your agenda item is up next ;) 12:20 * susi23_ sits down and listens 12:20 <+arcturus> so while i don't expect immediate problems with hashcash, i think it's feasible sha-1 could be seriously compromised soon 12:21 < jrandom> arcturus: hashcash with md5 would probably be fine 12:21 < jrandom> its just a PoW 12:21 <+arcturus> if anyone knows of any hashcash implementations based on sha256 or higher please met me know 12:21 <+arcturus> well PoW is pointless if there's little P in it :) 12:21 < jrandom> the size of the hash only matters when your hashcash reaches the size of the hash 12:23 < jrandom> (but, yeah, running against a truncated sha256 or 512 or whirlpool or whatever would be neat) 12:23 <+arcturus> i guess we could go ahead with the current implementation, perhaps we can design it so that we can swap it out easily later when we need to 12:24 < jrandom> (DTSTTCPW) 12:25 <+arcturus> because we will eventually need to drop sha-1, i'm sure of it :) and if we can't be reasonably certain a token was generated properly there's no reason to even be using hashcash 12:25 < jrandom> (its only for a PoW to get a nym on irc, not to get access to fort knox ;) 12:26 <@cervantes> there's some talk on the hashcash mailing list about implementing sha256 12:26 <+arcturus> it's not for a nym, it's for entry to the server 12:26 <+arcturus> cervantes: cool i'll check that 12:27 <+arcturus> jrandom: and it's not just PoW, the hashcash is what gives us a method to uniquely identify clients on the network, akin to being able to identify by IP, so that we can ban with precision 12:28 < jrandom> certainly those are renewed over time though, right? 12:28 < jrandom> e.g. a new PoW cert every 6 months (or 6h, or whatever) 12:28 <+arcturus> if a user doen't have to do any work to get their ID, that nullifies our ability to ban them 12:29 <+arcturus> i don't know of any reason to expire them automatically, only expire them manually if they violate terms of service 12:29 <+arcturus> no need to make people do unnecessary work for new IDs 12:29 < jrandom> eh, its just a passive PoW, they can run one cycle every 6 hours to regenerate a new one 12:29 < jrandom> but perhaps DTSTTCPW 12:30 <+arcturus> any hashcash genereated must be used within 24 hours or it is invalid 12:32 <@cervantes> just to reiterate the new server irc.freshcoffee.i2p needs to be added into your i2ptunnel console 12:32 < jrandom> coo'. ok, anything else for 2) irc2p? 12:33 <@cervantes> (http://forum.i2p/viewtopic.php?t=911 12:33 <@cervantes> ) 12:33 <@cervantes> <-- done 12:34 <+arcturus> i don't have anything else to bore you all with :) 12:34 < jrandom> hehe 12:34 < jrandom> ok, 3) susibt 12:34 < ardvark> um, when I add the new server to my tunnel, do I have to restart i2p? 12:34 < jrandom> susi23_: p1ng 12:35 <@cervantes> ardvark: just the tunnel 12:35 <@cervantes> (ircproxy tunnel) 12:35 < ardvark> oh ok, I just added and saved, so that is not enuff then 12:36 < jrandom> right, unfortunately you need to stop and start that proxy 12:36 < susi23_> well 12:36 < ardvark> but i'll miss the meeting then ;) 12:37 < susi23_> susibt is a webapp (like susimail) to drop into your routers VM 12:37 < susi23_> it acts as a web frontend for i2p-bt 12:38 < susi23_> so you can manage your seeds, up- and download files etc. 12:38 < jrandom> w00t 12:39 < susi23_> the prob is, you need to start a btdownloadheadless.py for each seed... so you get lot of python processes to your many java threads :) 12:39 <+arcturus> that will be addressed in ducktorrent *cough* 12:39 < jrandom> heh 12:39 * jrandom holds breath 12:40 < susi23_> it even supports restart of seeds after router restart 12:40 <@cervantes> nice 12:40 < jrandom> wikked 12:40 < susi23_> future plans are automatic build of torrents and ui improvement 12:41 < susi23_> if you want to try it out, I recommend a separate jetty instance 12:41 < susi23_> so you don't have to fiddle with your router :) 12:41 < susi23_> download and installation instructions on http://susi.i2p 12:42 < susi23_> thats all *ping back to jr* 12:42 < jrandom> w3wt, gracias susi 12:42 < jrandom> ok, anyone have any questions & comments on that, or shall we jump on over to 4) syndie? 12:44 < jrandom> ok regarding syndi, i've posted a bunch to the list about it over the last day or two, and there'll be lots more activity 12:45 < jrandom> the main demo site for syndie is http://syndiemedia.i2p / http://66.111.51.110:8000/, but of course people are encouraged to download it and install it locally 12:45 < jrandom> i dont have too much to add at the moment on that frnt. unless anyone has any questions? 12:46 < gott> Why is it called syndie ? 12:46 < gott> is it a reference to 'syndicate' ? 12:47 < jrandom> yeah, its a generic syndication frontend (+ security, authentication, and anonymity awareness) 12:48 < jrandom> ok, if there's nothing else on 4), lets jump on over to 5) ??? 12:48 < jrandom> anyone have anythin i2p related to bring up for the meeting? 12:51 < jrandom> ok, if there's nothing else 12:51 * jrandom winds up 12:52 * jrandom *baf*s the meeting closed
