  • Resilio wouldn’t work well for distribution…

    But archive.org seems to handle torrents pretty well. When they have a bundle they add a torrent with the same content, and set up themselves as webseed… Then everyone can download either directly or through torrent, and choose to seed what they want. If the content changes, post a new torrent… Of course that means that any old seeders get invalidated… But if they care about seeding they could update the torrent and point it at the old download to avoid redownloading everything. But also, how often does this content actually change? If a game iso/rom is ripped/dumped correctly isn’t that data kind of final? Why would the bit-perfect data need to change?


  • Over the past month, I built an old 5th gen Intel NUC into an emulation station with Batocera, it now plays everything up to and including N64, dream cast and PSX games.

    Then I bought a used Wii, threw homebrew and nintendont on it, so it now that handles game cube and wii games.

    So many good old games I never had the chance to play growing up (never had any consoles)…

    Gaming in the past is pretty damn awesome, especially when you can get just about any game you would want.








  • I’m expecting Trump to loudly announce that he negotiated so hard, and really got Greenland/Denmark to bow to his mighty nogotiating talents, only to then reveal that what he negotiated is that the US is allowed to build several military bases (which they already could), and that they have gotten rights to extract a chunk of minerals (which they already could).

    Then the whole MAGA base will be thrilled with how big and strong their dear leader is…

    As this point everything is exactly as it were before he started threatening Greenland and Denmark, except for having lost a large chunk of trust around the world, and MAGA feeling emboldened.

    Then a few weeks/months down the line Trump will start threatening with an invasion again…
