  • Bodhi Linux. I have an old hp desktop and it only has 2 gb of ram and 2 cores. I wanted a real lightweight distro and settled on arch linux but one day i tripped and knocked the tower over. When i booted it back up i had the infamous blinking underscore. I tried reinstalling arch multiple times and it kept failing, so i tried a lightweight arch based distro called archbang, same issue. I tried manjaro same issue.

    At this point i wanted to try something not arch based but wanted something that came with minimal preinstalled programs like arch. Research led me to bodhi which is a light weight distro based on ubuntu. Installed with no issues and been using it ever since, about 3 years now.

    Don’t know what i damaged on the motherboard but it must have been something integral to arch based distros, but i’m kind of glad it happened because i love bodhi now

    It has allowed an ancient computer to do so much. I’ve run matrix servers and web servers, written my own webapps to run on it and so much more

    Thats not exactly how that works. You can only connect to people seeding on i2p network. You can’t just connect to clearnet seeders from i2p

    Its good that qbitt added support for it but torrenting over i2p is not new, i2psnark is built into java version and biglybt has supported i2p for years. The issue is that most seeders dont cross-seed.

    Also if the guide on reddit is still going to need a vpn. Look at step 26, you are uploading to clearnet.

    In order to not use a vpn you need to only connect via i2p and you are then severely limited in your use.

    I would suggest just grabbing the info hash of a clearnet torrent and pasting it into i2psnark to see if it exists on i2p. If it does great! And seed that shit (you won’t need a vpn to do that) but i2p will definitely not completely replace clearnet torrenting
