imagine you’re a man ALONE in SPACE and your best friend is an ALIEN and you look like RYAN GOSLING and suddenly your ALIEN BUDDY who looks like a ROCK so you called him ROCKY tells you there is a HUMAN covered in BLOOD and you break into his SUBMARINE that he was WELDED INTO and you find that the ONLY OTHER HUMAN FOR THOUSANDS OF LIGHT YEARS is the youtuber MARKIPLIER
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
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.
I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.
Stratt: It is pride month, Dr. Grace. You know what that means.
Grace: What? You want us to breed gay astrophage?
Stratt:No. Don't be ridiculous, astrophage reproduce asexually. I only meant it is a good time to acknowledge those on the project who exist under the queer umbrella, including yourself because of your aroace identity.
Grace: My what?
