  • Yes, I have read the wiki.

    As I said, flatpak no worky because you don’t have a system level install option.

    Flatseal might help, but I do not know what I’d have to custom configure.

    Ujust has no helper commands for i2p.

    Homebrew might help for setting up the daemon, but i wouldn’t know how to connect it properly to a firefox or librewolf container tab, within bazzite.

    … Quadlet.

    Ok. This didn’t exist the last time I looked at the wiki a couple months ago, goddamnit.

    I2P does have a docker set up guide… this might actually work, if it can direcrtly fuck with bazzite’s systemctl.

    That being said: I have never use cli docker before so… wheee!

    Uh other than that:

    Distrobox is basically a very fancy docker container… maybe if I set up a whole distro, with I2P, and its own version of ffox, lwolf… that would work?

    …afaik there is no official i2p appimage, and even if there was, its containerized, same problem as a flatpak.

    … and finally, rpm ostree, the big no no… yeah, there is no official .rpm for i2p.

    … I… guess… i could set up vanilla fedora… in distrobox… and try to compile it from source… and then… either install that rpm in the fedora-distrobox… or… bazzite itself?

    … its mid night, im going to bed rofl.






  • So I realize this is a meme community but why not, its on topic:

    … How is one supposed to install say, I2P, I2PD … on Bazzite?

    I have tried the flatpak but it doesn’t work properly because it only installs at the user level via the app store/flatpak… not the system level.

    I have tried to figure out how to set it up in a distro box and am apparently too stupid to figure this out.

    I am also apparently too stupid to figure out which of the like 8 different kinds of ports I2P uses for one thing or another… I actually need to forward in my router.

    help plz


  • They do specifically, multiple times, in multiple places in the wiki… tell you that you really, really shouldn’t use rpm-ostree unless you absolutely know exactly what you are doing… because you can run into dependency conflict hell, and then the tree build will fuck up.

    Bazzite updates to a newer version of a shared dependency, but something you manually added… has not?

    Or visa versa, your custom thing requires a newer version, or some dependency that is for whatever reason just a conflicting fork of an existing dependency?

    Something is gonna break, potentially lots of somethings.





  • It does resemble a terrorist attack…

    But if you watched the press conference with the chief of police (or the equivalent title)…

    They have the suspect in custody, there were no specific threats to the event before hand, the suspect has a long history of mental illness, and the suspect has had many previous run ins with the police, ‘suspect is well known to the department’… gives me the impression this is a person who is having one kind of mental breakdown or another … every month or other week.

    At one point a reporter asked if it was terrorism and the CoP basically says… that would require a political or ideological motivation.

    The CoP … you could tell he was doing his best to divulge information he could without divulging information he couldn’t. He paused and tried to rephrase things a few times, openly struggled with … seemingly genuinely being unclear about what he was legally allowed to say.

    If the person truly is seriously mentally ill, there may be additional laws in place protecting some extra level of their privacy, at least before charges are actually brought.

    Put all that together, and it seems like this person has been just… very very seriously mentally ill for a long time, as in, too mentally ill to be capable of forming a coherent or describable ideology.

    Or, at the very least, that seems to me to be what the police are saying.

    … I am a guy, and apparently I have significantly … thicker, fuller, natural eyelashes than most.

    Or at least this is what several (now ex) gfs have told me, over the course of my roughly two decades of dating… that they are actually jealous of them. One joked about me being an eyelash donor to her, ala being a kidney donor or something like that.

    Also, several of them, independently, as in… different cities, they aren’t in the same social group, come from significantly different backgrounds…

    They would ask me to do what they called ‘butterfly kisses’ which is basically just fluttering your eyelashes together, at not quite as close as this range, but basically just 1 cm further back.

    … Can anyone tell me if this is a thing that happens to other people, or has my life (and love life) just been very weird?


  • … Fucking obviously duh, yes, if abled bodied people generally got around via actually safe, seperated bike lanes, or busses, or light rail, or trolleys, or trains, then of course this would generally reduce traffic and generally improve other transit options within an urban area.

    But the inciting incident of this whole discussion is:

    People should just bicycle tens or hundreds of miles to get to national parks far away from urban areas.

    This is still an absurd suggestion, even generally, for most people of average health/fitness/ability.

    Ebikes are still not even a sensible solution to this in a practical, affordability sense: Entry level motorcycles have greater ranges, speeds, more comfortable rides at the same price point as an Ebike that has roughly half the range and speed.

    Nobody even legally can drive an Ebike on a highway with a minimum speed limit of 50 mph.

    Please learn how to read the entire context of a discussion before jumping into it.


  • Yes! Of course!

    In my ideal world, there would be general, semi-individualized, semi on demand, or at least ‘request a ride in advance’, electric or hydrogen or hybrid (or perhaps even locally sourced bio diesel powered, if electric or hydrogen is too cost prohibitive) mini busses or vans that would help people with mobility difficulties get to and from daily tasks within a city or multi city region.

    This would be like ambulances, like fire trucks, like … other busses.

    Some important services just cannot be practically un-car-ified, and still function at all effectively.

    This is why most busses in Seattle, and much of the US broadly, have deployable disability ramps and internal wheelchair attachment point zones, so that wheelchair bound folks can get around.

    It would probably be more generally time effiecient to have just a seperate fleet dedicated to them/us in particular, given that a single wheel chair pickup/deboard for a city bus can throw off its entire planned timetable by a good amount, in high density, high traffic, peak ridership hours.

    … but thats getting a bit into the precise technicalities.

    For long distance disabled travel? Yeah, this is a legitimately more difficult logistics problem to solve in a general way that isn’t wildly costly to either the rider, or the ride provider… but bicycles are probably the least sensible solution to this problem I’ve ever heard.



  • … Do you not understand the context that arose to the comment I made?

    Person 1: Its dumb that you need a parking pass, for a car, to use isolated national parks in WA, most of which are very far away from civilization.

    Person 2: Just bicycle to national parks.

    Me: Disabled people cannot bicycle tens or hundreds of miles to a national park, nor is that really reasonable for non disabled people generally, that is a ludicrous suggestion.

    You: sp3ctr4l is obviously using disingenuous anti bkcycling, pro car strawmen arguments.

    … Please learn to read before you wildly throw out nonsensical accusations.

    The entire discussion here … it inherits the details and context of its parent comments.

    The discussion is particular to a specific set of circumstances in Washington state, USA.

    Proposing bicycling as a universal transit solution, or long distance solution, or a solution to get to remote areas, in a highly mountainous region… is wildly impractical.

    I don’t know for 100% certain, but you have a .nl user account, which to me implies a decent chance you live in the Netherlands.

    … A place that is about 1/4 the size of WA, and is extremely flat.

    This would be like proposing bicycling as a reasonable long distance travel solution for… basically the southern half of Norway if you bisected its area at the appropriate latitude line.

    That is about the same size and has comparable elevation extremes, although the climate varies much more in WA, from temperate, to temperate rainforest, to a literal desert on the east side of the Cascades.

    (Indeed, this is why WA has a very sizeable population of Norweigian ancenstry, because much of the state reminded them of much of Norway.)

    … Finally: Many, many people who live in WA fairly regularly do indeed go on 3hr trips to visit a distant national park for either one day, or a weekend. Mt St Helens, the Hoh Rainforest, vist the Grand Coulee Dam, etc.

    I have actually known a decent number of people in my life, living in WA, who have a, 2+ hour daily commute to work, 2+ hr commute back, either by car, or involving a ferry ride, or via public transit.

    I myself had such a commute via bus routes at one point.

    I agree with you that truly set aside for civilization, natural parks… should indeed be difficult and remote and hard to access.

    … Which is why I mocked the idea of bicycling being proposed specifically as a way to get to them.


  • I was there for 4 Seattle subreddits, lol.

    …there were FOUR?! jfc…

    They were trolls, I’m pretty sure Rainier was a legit Russian troll.

    Wow, that just activated a bunch of unpleasant memories.

    Yeah, I concur, that guy was a legitimate Russian troll, and yeah Doug I remeber being the most ludicrous infuriating asshat.

    As for the bicyclists, I think they might be doing this type of shit (same as in this thread). I’m not 100% that they’re legit bicyclists.

    Every actual avid bicyclist I ever knew irl is basically the exact opposite of a person who would… you know, spend all their time on an internet forum?

    Granted, this was about a decade ago now, but… I remember actually having to explain the concept of an internet forum to a few of them… ‘wait, its like a blog, but … its like… everyone’s blog?’.

    As for the troll tactic, yep that defines it perfectly.

    Manipulate social dynamics by identifying and trolling influential thought leaders, as opposed to just bullying randos. Make group cohesion impossible with constant petty drama bullshit to defame people.

    … pretty sure the internet was basically a mistske at this point rofl.
