One can find little quips like this in Usenet archives:

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:

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.

@CanaryWhiskey@lemmy.world

The link looks fishy. ‘ytmnd.com’ looks like a spammy domain.

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.
