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

First of all, NO movie spoilers in the comments ❌ even if I already saw it, I will be deleting spoiler comments until the final ep is out on YouTube!

Anyways, I made this piece to celebrate the finale of this amazing series that has done irreversible damage in my head, and nothing makes me happier than enjoying the journey until the very end (please don't let it flop, lineart took forever 😭)

I follow this lady on instagram who rescues cats, and i have been thinking about this video for literal months. behold the transformation of this wretched little beast

[whatsallthisnow]

I could not have anticipated that transformation if you had told me ahead of time

[drtanner]

This was nearly two years ago! I wonder how this little dude is doing now.

[ratstuckinamarble]

No spoilers so don't worry!

I haven't seen anyone post about it, so I wanted to provide the merch QR-Code that popped up at the end of the movie (the merch you're seeing here has nothing to do with what happens in the finale)

This isn't available without the code, which I think is kinda unfair, even if it makes sense to only show it to people who have seen the episode.

I find that it doesn't particularly spoil things but I may have missed something so look at the merch at your own risk. It does include a bundle however that won't be available anymore once the episode airs on YouTube, which is kinda sad imo, and the main reason I'm sharing this. Maybe it'll be of use to someone :)

this sewing pattern just touched me while i was in the middle of reading it

[mlembug]

Anna's Archive managed to get their hands on "86 million music files" from Spotify, "representing around 99.6% of listens" and metadata for "256 million tracks", that represents "estimated 99.9% of tracks"

this is not an aesthetic blog this is my bedroom

[ao3-anonymous]

I just saw an anon come into a gif-maker’s ask box and start with the phrase: “I’m trying not to spam your inbox with reblogs, but” and then go on to say how much they love the gifs.

But I’m still stuck on that opening phrase because…what? I am so confused by how people view interactions on tumblr & AO3 these days. Let me make it very clear for anyone who is unsure:

CREATORS WANT YOU TO INTERACT WITH THEIR WORK.

The limit does not exist on how many of their works you can interact with in a certain period.

If you like every fic they’ve ever written? Then feel free to give them all kudos and even leave a comment on every single one if you feel inclined! If you’re going through someone’s blog and you vibe with every post, like/reblog to your heart’s content!

As long as you’re not expecting something back from them or adding a ton of irrelevant comments, it’s not spam! It’s what this is all about!! I’m not even much of a creator and I still feel a huge sense of pride when I see a ton of notifications in a row from a person, as it clearly shows they thought my blog was worth spending time on.

And if for some reason a creator is annoyed by this (unlikely), they can manage their own experience (turn off notifs, not look at their notes, delete the fic, etc) -- so don’t deprive the majority of creators because of some imagined annoyed person. Fandom is a collaborative effort and we all must participate!

i've been obsessed with this video so i downloaded the video file off of youtube so even if the internet goes down i can always watch frogtimelapse.mp4

[what-even-is-thiss]

I love this new trend of people pointing out inconsistencies and weird logic in video games out of love and interest instead of smart guy snark.

Like look at this waterfall. It’s flowing the wrong way. Isn’t that fascinating? Someone put that there. I like looking at it.
