It is smaller than I expected, but ofcourse it is too big to get it through Wetransfer Free, except with multipacking to 2 GB parts with Rar or Arj. Anyway it should multipacking, if put to ftp, because some times comes download error.

But It would be nice that somebody can share that file to anothers too, Has somebody server that can share multipacks of total size 18 GB?

I am going to try to get access to a machine I can put a torrent seed on. I can't seed form home as I am on mobile right now.
If I can make this work I will post it the Evopediathread, anyone with real seeding ability please seed and upload to wherever you can as this seed, assuming I can convince a home user to host a r-pi on their network will be a short term situation at best.

17.53gb tar.gz, here is the magnet to load into your torrent app:
aa30216ac624d51d66ee443df1557c117a8b64ab
Please seed, a precarious situation for this torrent, hosted on a rasberry pi zero on someone else's personal internet connection, I only have reluctant permission.
Please coment if you are having difficulties, first time for me making a torrent.
This is a tar.gz of a .torrent file serving up a .tar.gz so a loopy name in the end....
Attached Files
File Type: gz wiki en1.tar.gz.torrent.tar.gz (163.9 KB, 95 views)

Corona days Sneakernet is slowing down:

In 90s CAB Browser had ability make CD-ROMs from web and if you transfer those CD-ROMs to offline Atari with CAB, you could browse that web from CD-ROMs..ofcourse that time web-pages was well designed for offline browsing.

You just need to get creative and use bow and arrows or something to get high band wireless data through to your neignbors, without accidently killing their cat.

I hate web 2.0 it is what made older devices so damn slow or like our N900s almost completely useless for wb browsing. I was able to surf websites with my old Palm III over IR and Handspring Visor with an Intel wifi pod(it had its own internal battery) damnit!

Well understood the lack of usability but the damn slow is also your advantage:
One wrong click slip of the mouse can still be corrected before the evil script is executed.
Web 2.0 will not last.
Please don't hesitate or stop complaining to help-desks about their monthly changing layouts.

-why your website is hosted on a server on the other side of the ocean can't you find & support local hosting services?
-why you changed the layout to less efficient and childish last week, I waste my time trying to find my way over and over
-why a professional service website has to depend on Google Analytics / other metrics?
-how much money is leaking monthly to a web development team implements changes "improvements & optimizations" only to prove their money's worth?
-Please decide on what works, then hands off the interface, minimize scripts & 3rd party links and focus on optimizing security.

Cost saving is in knowing when to stop your "web development" before it turns in non nonsensical scripting and bloating ...

Sorry for web developers around here, but this is my opinion as a frustrated user of online shops, bank, shipping, trading web sites from non-Chrome browser with a couple of the common security filters enabled.

Yes you are right. Initially the code has been in this repo: https://github.com/Code-and-Response...rDuck-Protocol and the repo https://github.com/Project-Owl was empty, when I checked it too. In the meantime they seem to pulled the code to the https://github.com/Project-Owl repo.

It depends on how 'down' we're talking about, but you may be interested in i2p, Freenet and other distributed/mesh networking software.

Down can have many definitions, all pose fun and interesting engineering and/or social hacks to get the data through.
There is the Iran/China blockaded behind a wall, other places where the bandwidth is super low or unreliable, and of course natural disasters or social disorder which break physical data transmission infrastructure. I like to play with all of them because it is way more interesting to try to say compute an overpass and shoot the space station and leave a message on the BBS than it is to click a 'Download Now' link.
Like expensive mechanical watches I suppose it is complication for complications own sake.
