From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i2p. It's sorta like Tor, but the way that every user is a node provides some advantages over Tor.
A few years ago there was a Lemmy instance on I2P
was? so it's not anymore?
Yea I think it shut down due to lack of users/interest. This was before Lemmy even had federation working, so much smaller community
Oh damn, I didn't even know lemmy didn't have federation at first
