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

For my two cents on the "Movie Rocky doesn't wear clothes" thing, I think it actually makes more sense that way. Why would a species that has a full x-ray view of each others internal organs at all times need to wear clothing for modesty? It's possible some of it might muffle sound a bit, but that would still only do so much with how insane Eridian hearing is. So the only uses I can see for clothing are utility, (which movie rocky does with the tool belt) ceremony, (celebration clothes) and possibly temperature regulation. I headcannon that book rocky is wearing the clothes specifically because he's interacting with Grace, who's environment is much colder. The Zenonite is keeping them somewhat insulated from each other, but it's still warmer than is comfortable on Grace's side, and it would make sense for Rocky to bee keeping things uncomfortably chilly on his to minimize the temperature difference. The movie really doesn't make as big of a fuss about the temperature thing as the book does. Movie Rocky isn't a freak he's just warm enough he doesn't need a sweater.

It's fascinating (and infuriating) to live in an age where almost everyone I know is languishing in Dickensian poverty but social media is slap full of professional-managerial computer-touchers who've never known hunger insisting that the economy is fine because their metrics say rich people are still rich.

What do you think they'll call this economic era? Trumpflation? The Trumpression?

Congrats fandom, you took one of the greatest pieces of media to ever come out of the internet and made the creator regret having anything to do with it by being shitty entitled bitch babies.

And you’ll all be even shittier, more entitled bitch babies when the ending isn’t exactly what you wanted, or didn’t focus on your preferred characters, or give you enough shipping fuel, or answer your theories, or whatever, you parasitic single-minded shitheads.

[hollowboobtheory]

blocking tip: you don't have to wait to have a negative interaction with someone to block them. you can block them without ever interacting with them. I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone being rude to someone else and preemptively blocked them

Putting the term "male gaze" on top of the fridge until everyone remembers that it refers to a cinematographic trend and not the act of looking at things while being a man

If you haven’t heard, today PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome has been renamed to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. This change reflects that this is not a reproductive “problem” but a whole body disease.

[leahstuff]

For reference, from the WHO website:

(Text: PCOS affects an estimated 10-13% of reproductive-aged women. It is estimated that up to 70% of women with PCOS worldwide do not know they have this condition.)

The Lancet link about shift to PMOS. Spread this to everyone who works in health care now. People with uteruses and ovaries are in agony - yes, the whole body suffers a crisis every fkn month - and health care should help
