Yet another entry on the list of reasons not to live in the Soviet Union on the west coast: https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/athena-thorne/2023/10/03/san-francisco-area-crime-portfolio-expands-to-include-pirates-n1731922
At least they are real pirates and not the FUD labeling of IP infringers..
With the SFCA police basically being non-existent, the crime expanding into piracy was bound to happen eventually.
dafuq did they think was gonna happen?
From what im hearing most major international shipping companies AND oil companies have stopped all activities in the red sea over the last couple of days, due to out of control piracy ( the real kind ) i think from Yeman, and their 'commitment to Palestine' or some such nonsense/excuse.
Going to cause shortages and even more rising prices.
Regarding the incorrect use of the term piracy...
Seems the bit torrent people ( at least i think its them... ) have a new project. A self-hosted DHT scraper/search engine. Finally one that is usable. Sure they existed before now, but most were fly by night, unstable, abandoned, a real pain the neck to get to work.. etc. ( and tried writing my own at one point but never did seem to work right )

Thanks for the info. I will check it out. This is so much needed, since typical torrent sites suck cocks, or are managed by small groups of volunteers who can barey keep the service running at all.
It makes me wonder how does the DHT keep unwanted content out. Imagine somebody uploads, say, "misinformation" about Biden's cognitive abilities. How would the powers that be took it down?
It doesn't.

Not real surprised, but sort of funny.
Been running that DHT scraper off and on for a while ( i dont NEED it.. so its more of a toy ). its got a few hundred thousand entries now. ( i know, there are millions of magnets out there on the network.. millions.. ) The % of porn to the rest, is just ludicrous..
Lol. I wouldn't know. Not my 'thing'.

You never understand how fucked up the Internet is until you search for Snow White and The Seven Dwarves or The Black Stallion.
slsknet might be dead.. panic ensues.. millions cry out in terror.. then silence.
Really hope this is temporary. this could be bad. really bad.
Crisis averted. End of world event cancelled. This time. But the infrastructure design of this thing is a major risk.
Yay.
Just dont kill the login server :)
