Imagine you're so small and cold and scared but there's smaller ones that are smaller and colder and more scared. I'm going to cry

A fluffy black kitten named Binx was found attempting to care for three younger kittens "as best he could."

Binx did his job well and all 4 of them got fostered together!

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

estro-boi

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent

Some of you may not want to hear this, but sometimes autism accommodation means giving that socially awkward person who said something that came off as passive aggressive or uncomfortable the benefit of the doubt. Not everyone is capable of reading social rules and cues effectively, I thought this was autism 101.

you can always ask for clarification or (NICELY) explain how it came off to you, remember!

I have an autistic coworker who used to say really uncomfortable things to museum guests while making small talk. like bringing up active, controversial revolutions in their countries if they were international, and such. finally, after a group of Hawaiian guys got visibly angry when he asked if they were "in the military or just rich" to be able to live there- meant to be a cost of living joke -I said, "hey, personally, I try not to talk politics with guests. sometimes it may upset them and we don't get paid enough to deal with that"

he looked thoughtful and said, "oh, I never considered it that way." turns out he was just a geopolitics nerd and didn't realize people might react emotionally to what he saw as a purely intellectual discussion

he hasn't done it since

It IS important to tell people how they come off when it's actively causing problems in their personal and professional life. On multiple occasions, I've seen people online who are doing and saying very off-putting things surrounded by people cheering them on, because said audience sees them as a bold iconoclast. But it was also very obvious the person in question was severely stressed, frustrated, and did not understand why they kept getting negative reactions from most people (in some cases, reactions with serious consequences, affecting personal and professional relationships). Their ostensible supporters and friends had zero interest in helping them navigate this, because they saw them as a hero or martyr rather than a real person who needed help, regardless of whether they were technically correct or at least making good points. If you actually care about someone, you do need to take them aside when you see this happening. They're not obligated to follow your advice, of course, but at least they'll know why they get those reactions.

thinking about diatoms again

crabussy

microscopic living stars made of glass that eat the sun. and they're all around us. in every body of water. glass sun-eating stars.

I like them a lot. they produce up to half of all earth's oxygen. the air you breathe is thanks to sun-eating stars made of glass. and that's pretty cool.

crabussy

and you know. like oblongs and triangles and some other bullshit
