    You’ve gone from stating i2pd on Android would use 4TB of data to a mobile-computer would last only 4 hours if an i2p-router was running. Just state clearly: you’re making up shit. You haven’t used the software and you have no interest in it. The above is a screenshot of i2pd running on a Pixel 6 Pro under GrapheneOS. In 6 hours i2pd has used 94.31Mb. In a month with 31 days that would extrapolate to 11.69444Gb. How much data you’re willing to ‘donate’ is entirely up to you as it’s configurable. My internal-battery is full at 80% (charging optimization enabled which halts charging at 80%) whilst the external battery is at 66%. Bluetooth has been on the whole time sending audio to a headset. This mobile-computer also runs Briar non-stop.

    I stick an external-battery to the back using hook and loop tape. It will last more than 24 hours. I honestly don’t know what you’re trying to say. People doomscroll on Tiktok all day and I’m pretty sure that’s just video content, probably hi-res too. No one’s pretending data is precious or limited except for you. (Australian retailers sell unlimited mobile-data plans.) You don’t want to use i2p on a mobile-computer? Ok. Other people do and I’m one of them. As I already stated in the previous post: if you actually want to do things with your mobile-computer pack batteries. Your imagination’s the limit.

    I administer a cluster of irc-nodes that talk to each other over i2p. Some nodes live on mobile-computers whilst others are on laptops or desktops. Decentralised chat hosted on your own hardware using your own connections. No need to pay perpetual rents for whitelisted IP addresses or a domain. You get encrypted communications with anonymization built-in that supports both TCP and UDP. It’s great.

      in eastern Europe unlimited mobile data plans are pricy, it’s not too common to have them.

        This is something that doesn’t make sense in the Australian market. Consumers are lazy here. Felix sells an unlimited plan for $40.00 AUD a month. Other retailers are selling 30Gb a month for $44.00 AUD. I think the cheapest seller here is Aldi who resells Tesltra-capacity for $28.00 AUD a month with 12Gb of data. The price isn’t exceptional, often being cheaper than the dominant sellers.

      surely not in 6 hours you dummy! over a month, which network providers use as a billing cycle! my i2p router on my server is up almost a month, and in that time it has had 4 TB traffic, in both directions. so my example 4 TB was not even correct.

      I have been running this i2p router for the past 3 or 4 years, yes I do know it! it always has this much traffic. would likely have even more if I had a better upload bandwidth and a higher limit set.
      but I have to admit I forgot about the bandwidth limit setting.

      how many mAh is the capacity of the external battery?

        The ones I use for mobile-computers are 10,000mAh batteries. At these sizes they fit nicely on the back and the mobile-computer can still easily fit into pockets.
