15:02 < jrandom> 1) Net status
15:02 < jrandom> 2) Syndie dev status
15:02 < jrandom> 3) ???
15:02 < jrandom> 0) hi
15:02 * jrandom waves
15:02 < jrandom> weekly status notes posted up at http://dev.i2p.net/pipermail/i2p/2006-November/001319.html
15:03 < jrandom> since that one is pretty short, lets jump on in to 1) net status
15:04 < jrandom> things are looking pretty good atm, network seems pretty steady
15:04 <+zzz> I invented a "peer capacity index"
15:04 <+zzz> on the dashboard...
15:04 <+zzz> so far not sure it is helpful though
15:04 < jrandom> ah yeah, sorry, metioned that one last week - looks quite useful, thanks!
15:05 < jrandom> interesting to see the disparity out there so clarly
15:05 <+zzz> the idea is the ratio of high-cap routers to low-cap routers, which is obviously important to tunnel build %
15:06 <+zzz> I'm removing routers from stats that I don't get a netdb update for in 1.5 hours but that seems too quick, I think it is skewing the stats
15:07 < jrandom> ah, ok, that would explain it. are you still harvesting?
15:07 < jrandom> (or wget'ing from dev.i2p.net?)
15:08 <+zzz> yes
15:08 < jrandom> cool
15:08 <+zzz> netDb.harvestDirectly=false
15:08 <+zzz> netDb.shouldHarvest=true, right?
15:09 < jrandom> so the stats we've had before were largely based on routers that were so bad the user shut them down & disapeared then?
15:09 < jrandom> right
15:10 <+zzz> it's always been 1.5 hours, but plotting the M/N/O routers, they seem to come and go when intuitively they should stay pretty constant
15:10 < jrandom> ah ok
15:10 <+zzz> you can see spikes/dips in all the data that last 1.5 hours :)
15:11 < spaetz> net seems pretty stable. Yep
15:12 <+zzz> thats all I have for that topic
15:12 < spaetz> I'd like to know if jrandom completely focuses on syndie nowadays or if he still looks at i2p dev.
15:12 < spaetz> or if this is just a bit on hte backburner temporarily
15:13 * jrandom completely focuses on syndie nowadays, but will work on i2p both when there are problems and once syndie is established
15:13 * spaetz thanks for the information
15:14 * spaetz is fine with this
15:15 < jrandom> w3wt. yeah, steadystate means syndie dev can continue, but if there are problems, of course i reprioritize
15:15 < jrandom> ok, anyone have anything else on 1) net status?
15:15 < Walter> I have a random question.
15:15 < jrandom> hit me Walter
15:17 < Walter> Assume you have 100Mb/s BW, what kind of server would you need to saturate it as an I2P node?
15:17 < jrandom> doesnt matter
15:17 < jrandom> i2p does not and will not saturate 100Mbps
15:18 < Walter> Assume one wanted to make use of available BW.
15:18 < jrandom> you would not.
15:19 < spaetz> I've got 150kbs up and down and it uses like 25% of a vserver (Dell shared with a dozen others)
15:19 < jrandom> that exceeds the capacity of the entire network
15:19 < spaetz> 25%CPU that is
15:19 * spaetz admits that's not really a precise answer and shuts up
15:20 < jrandom> the routers themselves have a mem v. throughput tradeoff, making it less likely that a router can even push > 3-350KBps
15:20 < jrandom> (of course, that tradeoff can be tweake to allow higher rates, but thats not an issue)
15:21 < jrandom> using bandwidth is *BAD* unless that bandwidth is being used only when necessary
15:22 <+zzz> the network is averaging about 1.5 MBps (=12 Mbps) total traffic over the last 3 months
15:23 < Walter> I see.
15:24 <+fox> <LeerokKitchen> Field trip!
15:26 < jrandom> ok, if there's nothing else for 1) net status, lets jump on over to 2) syndie dev status
15:26 < jrandom> progress here continues, and i've been doing testing both on windows and linux
15:28 < jrandom> current battle is on the forum management interface, though since the text interface is already embedded, all functionality is already in place
15:29 < jrandom> not much more news to discuss on that front though
15:30 < jrandom> anyone have any questions/comments/concerns on 2) syndie dev status?
15:33 < jrandom> ok, lets jump on to 3) ???
15:33 < jrandom> y'all have anything else for the meeting?
15:34 <+fox> <blx> when will gpl java be usable with i2p=
15:34 <+fox> <blx> ?
15:35 < Complication3> I guess it depends on when gpl java will be usable on various distros
15:35 < Complication3> Or available for download from Sun
15:36 < Complication3> But it feels like a moot point, since it's the same Java which is usable already now
15:36 < Complication3> GPL would only let it be packaged more conveniently, and improved upon
15:37 < jrandom> (and i2p already works with gcj/kaffe, though not all of the client apps)
15:37 * Complication3 quickly reads backlog
15:37 < jrandom> ((and syndie works with gcj/kaffe completely))
15:38 <+fox> <blx> Compilation, thats what they want you to think ;)
15:38 <+fox> <blx> but ok, i got my question answered.
15:38 <+fox> <blx> Complication even. misread
15:39 < Complication3> blx: well, the sources are available already now, it's just that few read and compile them
15:39 < jrandom> (and you can even modify and use those modifications, you just can't distribute your mods)
15:40 < koff> when will i2p have the logging functionality suggested by the proposed laws i heard about?
15:41 < jrandom> never
15:41 <+zzz> hahahaha
15:41 * Complication3 suspects never :)
15:41 <+fox> <blx> what laws?
15:41 * jrandom assumes you refer to .de/.eu data retention issues
15:41 < Complication3> Someone in the forum talked of a (proposed) law in Germany
15:42 < jrandom> (and then the .us ones in a few years)
15:42 < Complication3> They could have spelled it out better though
15:42 < jrandom> aye, 'tis just proposed, but not a big suprise
15:43 < Complication3> I personally think: it's not like data retention laws aren't being broken left and right already
15:43 < Complication3> Breaking a dozen more of them? I personally wouldn't care much...
15:44 < Complication3> In short, I want to see how they're going to enforce it
15:44 < tea> like they did with napster : arrest everyone
15:45 < Complication3> If they manage to make a good try, something will need to be found to thwart that ("not in my country" peering principle for countries where insanity prevails)
15:45 <+fox> <LeerokLacerta> That reminds me of a song.
15:45 <+fox> <LeerokLacerta> http://2ch.ru/mu/src/1163070550597.mp3
15:46 < tea> turning all data traffic over to anonymous networks might help ...
15:47 < Complication3> Just ignoring them en masse has worked for plain ordinary pirates...
15:47 < Complication3> You can arrest one person ignoring you. Can't do that with several hundred thousand.
15:47 < tea> that's no argument for a german :)
15:47 <+fox> <modulus> you can
15:47 <+fox> <modulus> hitler did
15:48 < Complication3> That's only because nobody bothered removing him
15:48 < jrandom> *cough*
15:48 < Complication3> Had they taken up arms, it wouldn't have worked
15:48 < Complication3> (sorry, far off topic, yes)
15:48 < tea> still, one does feel important in being paranoid
15:48 <+fox> <modulus> that said i think i2p could comply with data retention laws without damaging anonimity, but there's no reason to do that.
15:48 < jrandom> ok, well, i think we've addressed the i2p-related issue there ;)
15:48 < tea> sry
15:49 < jrandom> aye modulus
15:49 < jrandom> (we already assume individual users are logging everything anyway, as are the isps)
15:49 <+fox> <modulus> right, so a DR-enabled i2p wouldn't be the end of the world
15:51 < Complication3> Someone would have to bother forking that, though... :P
15:52 * jrandom keeps my mouth shut ;)
15:52 < jrandom> ok, anyone have anything else for the meeting?
15:53 < jrandom> if not
15:53 * jrandom winds up
15:53 * jrandom *baf*s the meeting closed
