Sure, closed darknets are feasible. But open darknets are much more 
interesting. One of the HA group is also a member of a different darknet group, 
so the darknet grows; more generally, your friends and your friends' friends 
are generally not the same, so it is possible to have a large network in 
relatively few hops, this is the "small world effect". One key requirement is 
that there be many "short" links and a few "long" links, but what short and 
long mean in the real world is unclear; in routing terms, large differences in 
location, in real-world terms, probably a long link corresponds to a friend in 
a different geographical location, or a different occupation, or mostly 
different social circles, etc.

Yes but the Total Output is a little disappointing. Are you getting heavy CPU 
usage?

What do you mean by that? Do you have any suggestions for how to improve 
getting connections to your real-world or online friends?

With builds of the past month or two, ram usage is way down.  If your
entire system only has 256 mb of ram, you could reduce Freenet's max
ram to a lower number, perhaps 192 or 160.  I don't usually see mine
climb over 128 mb here unless I am doing some heavy usage.

I had power failure to day 23 june 2009, and my fit-pc mini freenet server was
shut down.

Half an hour later it was up again by itself running without me touching it.

Here is some statistic from when it again was up running:

Ubuntu 8.04 - 256 mb ram - Freenet ver. 0.7.5 - store size 20 GB

Java ver. 1.6.0_07

JVM ver. 10.0-b23

Used Java memory 27.4 MiB

Allocated Java memory 59.6 MiB

Max Java memory 254 MiB

Running threads 94/500

Connected 19

Busy 1

Input rate 25.5 KiB/s (of 200 KiB/s)

Output rate 26.8 KiB/s (of 50.0 KiB/s)

Total input 21.9 MiB (9.25 KiB/s average)

Total output 32.9 MiB (13.9 KiB/s average)

Payload output 21.8 MiB (9.23 KiB/sec) (66 %)

# 1222  build 01222
# 26r23771

So for the last some couple of months my mini freenet server has updated 
everything automatic by itself without any interference from me, and kept 
running and running

I dont know how to measure that, it has been working constantly for  some 
months - just now 15 connections and 4 busy strangers is up - can se a 
completely new interface, nice.

I just check that the broadband connection is blinking all the time.

Sorry, I am working on a very enduser level.

I am still waiting for a system to come up. so I can work on a friends level 
(means invincible) - meaning to exchange nodes with "friends" anonymously in a 
proper way, probably > ver 0,8.

[freenet-support] New model fit-pc2 out

2009-06-22 Thread user1
I have been testing a fit-pc older model  as a mini freenet server with 
success.

Just quite slow for administration.

I have noticed that a newer model is out (7 w power consumption):

Here are the specifications:

http://fit-pc2.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

Please note that you plug the harddisk into a miniSD socket, and thus it is 
easy to switch harddisks - any 2.5" sata harddisk will do - one for possibly 
private -or one for non private stuff.

Here is a minitest:
