You already use #I2P? Great! But did you ever wished to have a separate gateway VM such as in #Whonix?
Works on #Qubes and #KVM:

Easy sys-i2p

There have been several attempts made to create an i2p-gateway, none of which I liked. Of course you still can run any i2p router without a gateway, but for further hardening I propose: 1. Clone or install a Fedora-XX Template with i2p Beginners should clone a Fedora-44 template, if you are an advanced user, use a minimal template. We will name it i2pd-gateway-f44. Then install an i2p router. In this tutorial we will use i2pd because it’s the quickest. sudo dnf copr enable supervillain/i2pd ...

Wyng Backup 🐦 v0.8.1 is out and available for download! https://codeberg.org/tasket/wyng-backup

Changes from v0.8.0 include bug fixes, faster data seeking over unallocated space, expanded archive repair capabilities and improved error handling.

Development is also progressing toward v0.9, with alpha2 now available for testing. Alpha versions are now named 'wyng09a' so they aren't accidentally run instead of stable releases. These versions also require '--test-write-v3' option before writing to archives created by Wyng stable.

I love #Qubes, it is my desktop of choice. It's just #whonix updates never work. Now I'm trying to update dom0, the whonix updates just hang.

I was buying lunch today wearing my embroided #debian t-shirt[1] and some chap came up to me and said "I use Arch btw".

Funny little interaction from a stranger, although I think I out-nerded him when I said I use #debian at home and #qubes at work.
