``` Benefits of I2P over Tor ... Java, not C (ewww) ``` Excuse me?

I feel like “written in a memory-safe language” is a fair selling point, especially when we are talking about a tool designed to accept completely untrusted data from the network and keep you safe from attackers with significant resources.

Unfortunately, Java encryption libraries are far from boring.

I think its worth mentioning that DDOS protection has become a tool to control online discourse. Once you get kicked off Cloudfare, thats mostly it for you if you have a determined attacker. Thats quite a beneficial situation for governments.
Have you actually run any sort of web service/website without Cloudflare? This sounds like something straight out of a sales reps mouth, obviously there is more solutions than just Cloudflare out there...
Still thank you for the response, gives the ability to clarify that this is by no means an advertisement. You have of course endless options for ddos mitigation right now. But once cloudflare no longer wants you, your other options have a tendency to evaporate as well.

I wish people stopped using discourse. Sending pictures of pieces of hand written paper over email would be a more user friendly and usable interface than this javascript mess.
Discourse is one of the nicest to use forum platforms. Works on phones, has normal notifications, proper markdown, nice mention-subscription-quote system, nice plugins (such as abbreviation explainer) and it's not an eyesore.

All of the "boring crypto" has been written in C. https://cr.yp.to/talks/2015.10.05/slides-djb-20151005-a4.pdf Unfortunately, Java encryption libraries are far from boring. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/bouncy-castle... https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-7637...

Who got kicked off of Cloudflare? Because both the cases I can think of weren't because of governments and were the sorts of schmucks that you really don't want hanging around.
Its totalitarian rot, it doesnt stop, its like a moldy fruit.

Absolutely not. Most mailing lists are run horribly. With horrible deliverability, security ("don't use an important password here"-clownery plus no SRS, ARC or DKIM) and a plethora of MUA idiocy sprinkled on top. Not to mention way obsolete opinions such as "no HTML at all" or "40kB maximum". Discourse is one of the nicest to use forum platforms.

Source: Was on the team (but not the decision-maker) to replace a very large legacy forum with Discourse.
I’ve heard passing mention of people switching to i2p because they feel the design choices of the Tor project are questionable - suggesting compromise. But these were vague assertions, is there more reading or ability to substantiate this?
So far using i2p has been very nice to use and the tools are well developed. I run a node myself. The way i2p works is very interesting. Some services like Dread which provide i2p access have only been accessible via i2p in recent times due to the load on tor.
We'll have to see how i2p holds up when it inevitably takes over Tor and becomes a target of ddos itself.
