Thank you so much! I really appreciate you going above and beyond to provide me with some literature! :)

Thanks for clarifying!

My understanding is very basic, but from what I understand (please anyone feel free to correct me if you know more), it uses newsgroups, which is, historically speaking, an extremely old computer network communication system (conceived in '79) that was used for sharing news and files (it used to have forums and stuff on it too), and it works by transferring files in parts, then unpacking/assembling them at their end point.

Because they are in pieces during transfer, it’s very difficult for ISPs to know what you are downloading, therefore no VPN is necessary.

There is also no seeding because it’s a server-client model, not P2P.

I’ll have to talk to my brother because he’s the one that set it up, but i think we use dognzb and it seems to work quite well.

I’m working towards a better understanding of it so if that doesn’t answer your question please let me know and I’ll get you a proper answer :)

Or, hear me out for a sec: Usenet?

I made the distinction purely because it was mentioned in the meme. Don’t look too deeply here.

Your comment taught me a lot that I didn’t previously know so thank you!

Literally a modern serfdom

See, it’s not the working that’s the issue. It’s the lack of control over our surplus value. It’s the lack of control over the means of production.

Okay commenting again to tell you I just looked this up and was reading the info for the artist and learned the term “filk” (science fiction folk) so I’m soooo in.

Don’t have to pay for bots if your product is good enough people actually want to share it 🤷

Ya can’t say I disagree with you there

Thanks so much! I’m building a playlist so I’m always happy to take suggestions :)

They’ve definitely been one of my faves as well since I was a kid and found them while watching Malcom in the Middle
