when you setup an original nintendo ds/ ds lite, the final thing it asks you for is your birthday. it has a wifi chip, but it would never sell your data to 3rd parties or even disclose it to nintendo. it doesn’t want to know your brith year and wouldn’t dream of age-restricting games. it asks for your birthday for the same reason a friend might. it asks because it cares.

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

if you are a parent, or may become one, or you are otherwise likely to arrive in the situation of caring for a child while they eat, promise me this: if a child doesn't like a certain food or food group, you will ask them WHY. and specifically, you will pay attention to either confirming or ruling out "it makes my mouth itch" or "it makes my stomach hurt," both of which are medically important info that children may not provide unprompted. which i know because this PSA has been brought to you by "i spent my entire childhood and much of my early teens eating peas and lentils while wondering why everyone else liked the Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation so much, like were they a bunch of legume masochists or something, before i finally realized that Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation was in fact a sinister demon appearing only to me, and her true demonic name was: Legume Allergy"

I would die for Tessa. I would find her 200 toothbrushes.

So it looks like Tessa has been using these veggietales toothbrushes for ages, but has misplaced the stash.

Man this store has a weird playlist, it's all Weird Al songs but with the lyrics switched out for ones that aren't funny.

Today's wasp of the day is the yellow ichneumon (Xanthopimpla punctata)!

Agent Lemondrop reporting for duty to save your cereal! As a parasitoid of various stem destroying caterpillars that target big time commercial crops like sugarcane and grains, this wasp is happy to help out at any farm. In fact, a 2025 study has discovered that they've recently been branching out to parasitizing pests of banana plants as well.
