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

"But why would it mainly be affecting young people?"

Young people were more likely to survive with permanent damage rather than die from Covid, and because they were less likely to die and everyone was pretending long Covid didn't exist young people were also told Covid was "not a big deal" so they were less likely to protect themselves.

after inputting some complex algorithms into my super computer i’ve determined what tumblr will look like in the year 2020

My Good Creatures!

Tumblr's Staff just made a post about their AI shit But do not worry! You can prevent AI form using your Art as subject of study for the bots

I am making this post becouse personally it's easier for me to learn something by looking at images, so here's a tutorial on how to make sure that AI will not use your Art!

Go to your Account

Scroll down to the "Visibility" Category

And make sure that this setting is turned ON! That is all you need to do!

Plz reblog this post so more poeple can see it!

I hope you guys will have a good day and that your Art and you will be safe <3
