I feel like lately I’ve been doing more piracy than actually using the content I’ve been pirating. Curating a library has been so enjoyable lately, I’m not the only one right?

I think subconsciously we are all prepping for the end of the world as we know it lol

I do always think about a scenario where the internet goes down for one reason or another. I've got houuuuuurs of content to keep me busy.

I can only think of one scenario where the internet would be shut down and that would be during a blackout sadly.

Bet it happens for political reasons. First rule of suppressing revolutions is to cut communications.

Ham radio enthusiasts will start feeling very pleased with themselves then. Until jammers are brought in anyway.

That's when we hit em with the mesh networks.

It's going to be difficult to jam outside of the cities. I imagine people are going to set up private wired networks in their neighborhoods, or use Wi-Fi mesh. The good news is that at that point, laws against piracy will be totally moot.

lol, have you got all your batteries and inverters setup lol. In all seriousness, I used to hoard, but it's too much hassle, I've got too big a backlog of stuff to organise, and yeah I'll just redownload stuff I know is popular enough to remain available. I do like watching my ratios though, making sure I'm doing my bit to keep the water flowing. Data in transit as storage. Treating torrents as a form of ephemeral storage, where it can come back to me if I wish for it again. Perhaps I'm describing something more like IPFS though.
