Yup. I've resorted to checking for new videos on Invidious and then actually watching them in MPV
A good start would be to check the website and go from there. I don't know of a good, singular guide unfortunately—there are a couple different ways of going about torrenting on I2P.
I can confirm that torrenting on I2P works quite well! You may have to set aside a couple weeks per movie, though. Still, the torrent selection is decent, if not quite as good as what you would get on the clearnet. You'll want to check the postman tracker (tracker2.postman.i2p) once you have everything set up.
Stormy is an understatement. Last I checked, I was sitting at 4% - though it bears noting that I'm running my I2P router on a Pi, so I2PD is a bit out of date for me
Copious amount of ebooks or web novel downloads, as well as my lofi folder for background music. All preloaded on a boot drive with a Linux distro capable of both running on the hardware and viewing everything I brought, if I can figure out how to do that. Plus however many snacks I can sneak in.
Really cool, particularly the inbuilt sponsorblock and dislikes. Those are something I've been missing in my own Invidious. I'll still stick with the original interface, but keep up the good work!
Going through Anna's Archive also works, they usually have zlib links
Correct on all counts. I'll try some other DNS servers later. Right now I'm using the Mullvad DNS servers, any suggestions for ones that support DNS over TLS?
Some further tests make it look like dig is influenced by some caching stuff going on on my PC. I figured that out while playing around with a TXT record for testing purposes, and noticing that host and dig return different results for the same input.
Running the commands again on my phone using Termux reveals that the AAAA record is in place and functioning, but I still can't reach the website from my browser by using the domain name.

Thanks for the answer! Unfortunately, the response from dig AAAA is rather lackluster:

I'm starting to suspect Namecheap just hates IPv6. Their dynamic DNS service only covers v4, too
Correct! Single AAAA record pointing to the IP of my server, which I verified beforehand.
My host records consist of a single AAAA record that points to the IP address of my server, which I verified beforehand. I've tried dig, but I'm not sure how to interpret it's output, which looks as follows:

The DNS issue persists. The part that my friend helped me with was determining if I configured my router firewall correctly, which I did. Currently I can reach my server from the internet only directly via its IPv6 address, with no progress on binding it to my domain name.
The firewall port on my router is open, and as far as I can tell, my server isn't running a firewall at the moment. ICMP might be a problem; ipv6-test tells me that those are filtered out. After checking my router settings, I've determined that ICMP is enabled for the device in question.
Tried my mobile connection already, doesn't have IPv6. Also tried a nearby hotspot, same issue.
I've been wanting to set up a small game server on my home network for myself and a few friends lately. Nothing I haven't done before - except the part where I open it up to the internet for people outside of my home network to play on.
So I tried setting up a small web server to test out the port forwarding functionality of my router. Darkhttpd, running on a spare Raspberry Pi, works fine on the local network. After digging through the web interface, I find out that using IPv4 isn't an option because of how my ISP tunnels network traffic (sth sth Dual-Stack Lite)—fine by me, in 2024 we should be using IPv6 anyway. So I go and open up port 80 in my router's web interface.
This is where the problem begins. Everything looks fine, but I don't have ready access to a network outside of my own to check if the port is actually accessible from the internet. An online IPv6 open port checker I found tells me the ports are visible and that my ISP isn't blocking anything. Trying to bind a domain that I had lying around to my IP address, however, has resulted in failure.
I have no idea how to debug this. I'm pretty sure there's some issue on the DNS Server end, but I can't even tell if the rest of what I'm trying to do is working. And if it is, I have no idea of how to go about fixing the DNS thing.
Update: I got a friend to test it, and the web page is accessible from the internet. Problem lies with the DNS server
Update 2: After contacting my friend again for a sanity check, it seems that the DNS server works fine and my test website can indeed be reached through my domain—it's just that I can't reach it.
Update 3: After poking at various DNS servers, it appears that the Mullvad DNS servers which I use don't regularly update their records. I've now switched to Cloudflare. My router similarly implements some caching solution that, after much tinkering, I was unable to flush. For the time being I've just decided to fuck doing this properly and directly edit my /etc/resolv.conf with the Cloudflare DNS servers. If I ever manage to get this working properly, I will add a final update, but for the time being, I will consider it solved.
YouTube is already a sedated, anaemic whale of a website. Adblock probably makes it run faster, given it usually removes stuff rather than add it. If you want speed, I recommend a frontend such as Invidious or Piped, it's what I use on my weaker laptops where YouTube takes half a minute to load.
I enjoy experimenting with different builds and classes, and thus always have a need for new equipment of different stat varieties. For armor, I like to utilize the Bladed armor set, which has selectable stats, exotic rarity and is available in all weight classes. It's also comparatively fairly easy to farm for, since most pieces can be bought with a combination of local currency and gold, while the chestpiece can be obtained through an event that regularly gets organized runs.
Unfortunately, armor is only part of what one needs to fully equip a character. So far I've been getting by with crafting, but there are prefixes that I don't have the recipes for, and no way to obtain them.
So, are there any reasonably simple ways to farm for weapons, trinkets and back items of exotic rarity and with selectable stats? I only own the Heart of Thorns and Path of Fire expansions atm, so anything within those limitations would be cool.
