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.

I watched that as a kid with my brother!

Idk man, I’m past 30 and I care less that I have money and more that everyone I love has what they need.

What’s most important right now is to remember we are not alone. Do not let him rule your life with fear.

Spend time and effort building community, skillsharing, playing music, there is strength in numbers, and we cannot organize without community. The community always comes first.

We don’t fight fascism because we think we’ll win. We fight fascism because it’s fascism. We fight fascism because we have no other choice.

Let’s learn from those that paved the way. Joe Hill, Pete Seeger, Phil Ochs, Barbara Dane, etc.

There are good people, and trump, his cronies and sycophants want us to forget that. There are so many good people. Let’s find them with community.

She has given so many people hope by standing up to him.

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

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.

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 :)

Hell yeah I am so excited :)
