One thing that is cool and normal is how you could only buy #rickandmorty season 8 on #Amazon Prime Video in Germany.
And how they always give you the episodes which you paid for roughly 48 hours too late.
But they stopped that and haven't uploaded anything for the last 15 days. I don't think trying to reach customer "support" would be useful. So they just don't deliver the goods and services I paid for.
Quite literally, #bittorrent and not paying would have been the better user experience.
Just launched an experimental #RSS feed for the #Yggdrasil only peers #BitTorrent tracker, based on the #Aquatic + aquatic-crawler toolkit:
http://[302:68d0:f0d5:b88d::fdb]/rss.xml
http://tracker.ygg/rss.xml
Aggregation feed for the Mycelium network will be available a bit later, as I want to test the crawler on the more popular tracker first.
- this project is intended to be a replacement for the manually operated #YGGtracker catalog, which is currently offline.
...and that worked, because if we've to ask who won: HD-DVD, blu-ray or HD-VMD [lol], you'd say #Netflix or #BitTorrent or god forbid #YouTube, but I digress...
@StarkRG @jay @vildis personally I'd rather still compress stuff for speed reasons, as bandwith is the limiting factor, not computational power or storage.

I don't host, seed, download or distribute anything copyrighted, but like with @vxunderground and @VXShare do for #Antivirus I've seen enough groups also do some basic #encryption as to avoid any #ContentID-style matching and thus automated #DMCA takedowns...
@jonny this entire thread is amazing, top-notch tool development for a noble cause.
@ #academia : if you feel desperate about the wholesale breakdown of science under the current US administration, consider helping out with #SciOp: Decentralized backups of datasets under threat, in a torrent swarm.
Have a disused laptop or Raspi? Make it part of the swarm and take the data outside the US (or any) administration's grasp!
@iamada people #BitTorrent|ing #fansubs is "the revolution"!
@vildis +9001%
Why they don't go with tar or pax or plain bzip2 / xz is beyond me.

Erst scheitern Lizenzverhandlungen, dann werden 80 Terabyte Bücher per #BitTorrent beschafft: #Meta muss sich nun vor Gericht für die Beschaffung von Trainingsdaten für seine KI-Modelle verantworten. https://winfuture.de/news,151860.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia

if anyone is bored or wants to contribute to gray archive tech, i've done all the hard parts around this, but here is a set of things you could do to make "practical repack mutability for torrents" happen: https://codeberg.org/Safeguarding/-/projects/19508
so we have an indexer and a cli tool that can interact with clients. if we added one link table that allowed people to declare relationships between torrents - like e.g. if one replaces another, or is an updated version of, successor to, and so on, then one could plug in the pieces so the cli periodically checks for updated versions of torrents and swaps them out in the local client.
this could be your name in the credits: "what if bittorrent trackers weren't just static repositories of torrent files and generic peer connection machines but could facilitate socio-technological resolutions to basic problems in the protocol."
I just closed da loop on the first example of the distributed, bittorrent backed, "archiveteam-warrior except anyone can do it and not necessarily have uploading to archive org being the only means of sharing". .. thing. And it's pretty good. In a couple months we've slowly spread our octopus tentacles over the whole bittorrent/scraping stack and it's cool to start seeing the pieces connect.
We have a basic problem: someone recognizes a dataset will disappear, then we would have to have a whole convoluted forum process where we post what we're taking, blah blah heroism, volunteerism, solving hard problems on the fly, love this group. Except that sometimes only half the data would show up, or it would end up with one person needing to seed 20TB from their home connection. So uneven labor distribution
Anyway once we get the frontend and docs writ we'll have a sketch of an idea: what if not just distributing the data, we also distributed the scraping. making it possible for deduplicated, distributed crawl tasks that feed automatically back into feeds of torrents. Once we convince arvindn to make webtorrent enabled by default, we've got some cool news with the replayweb.page folks to share. Along with being able to share the work and mutually validating snapshots of the web, that's your distributed wayback machine.
Then it's time to start the federation part where it gets really interesting - making AP groups that can mutually coordinate archival work and publish it in private, overlapping torrent bubbles
Edit: here is the thing in code form, docs are the cherry on top: https://codeberg.org/Safeguarding/-/projects/18027

GitHub - Dahrkael/ExTracker: 以 Elixir 驅動的 BitTorrent Tracker
➤ Elixir 語言打造的高效能 BitTorrent Tracker
✤ https://github.com/Dahrkael/ExTracker
ExTracker 是一個以 Elixir 語言編寫的 BitTorrent Tracker，目前處於開發階段，但已具備基本功能。它擁有高效能、低記憶體佔用和無需設定即可運行的優點。專案支援多種 BitTorrent 增強提案 (BEP)，包括 UDP 追蹤協定、壓縮 Peer 清單等，並提供 HTTPS 支援、磁碟備份等功能。使用者可以透過直接從原始碼、發布版本或 Docker 容器等方式執行。
+ 這個專案看起來很有潛力，Elixir 的效能應該會讓它成為一個優秀的 Tracker。
+ 能夠直接透過 Docker 運行非常方便，省去了很多配置的麻煩。
