Your juvenile and race-slur language and profanity are unacceptable, dumb savage behavior. You might think you are being 'edgy'. You're just a spectacle of stupidity. [blocked]
One thought I have: filesharing using rsync. Just scriptomatically create rsync commands to pull the chosen files in a list. Use rsync with hashing to prevent pulling duplicate data. With a little veneer and an interface, it would actually be quite handy. Then users can connect to any public repository and pull the files they want to read with a few mouse clicks, instead of meandering back and forth inside a web browser.
DarkMX is old-school and very retro:
https://darkmx.app/
It also has a debian package downloadable from the site. One can run it in a container and forget about it.
I'm looking for different P2P networks to share my papers and essays. It is mostly postscript, pdf, and txt files. Since a lot has changed in the p2p landscape I figured I should ask around before downloading and testing a hundred apps that don't work.
This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "f*** around and find out." Brutal.
What is it with these perps carrying machetes? A machete is for toting around in the woods and brush, not downtown. And threatening police with a machete is a real stupid move and removes all sympathy for the suspect. Just dumb.
On the same site a Canadian suspect fled across the border into USA and was captured by the Washington State Patrol. This genius also had a machete. What gives?
I was thinking of setting up a dedicated box to serve my files on all the P2P networks I could find. I don't even know if some of them are active any more.
I do know that edonkey still has some peers. WinMX became DarkMX and has a few dedicated peers. Other than that, IDK. What about Limewire, Phex, or gnutella in general? Does anyone still use these old nets?
Last week I used transmission-GTK to download a Linux ISO. I occasionally use LibreTorrent on Android, but only when I need to grab something away from the Desktop machine.
Thanks for letting us know you have access. A friendly mercenary may be black-bagging you for a Cadillac ride shortly.

Do you remember Network News, AKA Usenet? At over 40 years old, Usenet is the original 'social network'. Usenet is the oldest bastion of digital free speech networks.
Usenet is highly resistant to censorship. For decades Usenet has served as a free speech haven. It has also served as a platform for secure and anonymous messaging.
I suspect that many of GenY and GenZ have never heard of Usenet. We can change that. We can alert them to this censorship-resistant network as an alternative to highly censored social media.
## Ways to access Usenet ##
There are multiple ways to access Usenet:
- web front ends
- dedicated graphical clients
- dedicated terminal clients
## Links to Usenet hosts and software ##
Users can access Usenet to read and post by installing free client software or by visiting a host that provides web browser access.

## Rough traffic count ##
A few days ago when I counted, more than 16 thousand articles were posted in Usenet threads in a 24-hour period. I checked today as of a few minutes past midnight GMT, and almost 12 thousand articles were posted in the past 24-hour period. At this rate about 4.4 million articles would be posted in a single year.
Share this information with your friends!

Gun control laws work for people of low intelligence or low moral character. A criminal of middling intelligence can get guns anywhere in the world. These criminals clearly were not very smart. They were impulsive and short-sighted, which is why they would not be able to get guns.
The proper word for disarmed people is : SLAVE.
If you are not allowed to be armed, you are a slave. You are not free. You can mealy-mouth it all you want with nonsensical and false political rhetoric, or try to massage the lie with statistics, or whatever. But the fact remains that a man who is disarmed is slave to the man who is armed. The armed man is allowed to easily kill you if you don't submit to his commands, and that is slavery. Just because the masters put a cute tin star and hat on the slavers, doesn't change the nature of what they are: SLAVERS.
"Those who beat their swords into plowshares plow for those who didn't."
Someone has declared themself your master, and told their slave, 'thou shalt not resist by force, the force we force upon you; thou shalt call this, freedom, safety, and law.'
Many slaves love their slavery. They have a word for it : FREEDOM. These 'freedom' loving slaves desire to force their 'freedom' on others, using officers with guns to do it. How do they do this? Why, they beg their master government to use guns, to impose this unarmed state of 'freedom' on everyone else. So those arguing for gun control aren't arguing for gun control. They are arguing for men with guns to control other people without guns and keep them that way. There is a word for this: HYPOCRISY.
Advocates of gun control are against violence, unless it is state thugs doing the violence to people they don't like. Then they are pro-violence all day, every day, praising the violence their police do to others in the name of their slavery racket.
