#Sciop hit a Petabyte (actually a Pebibyte but nobody knows that word) of total proven capacity a week or two ago. That's all the seeders * the size of the things they are seeding. All volunteers, zero dollars in funding, piggybacking off existing resources wherever we can, run on a donated VPS. This is before we even get into federating archives and are still nailing down the basics of the site.

Peer to peer archives are real and they work, period. 216TiB of threatened cultural, climate, queer, and historical information held in common. That's a people powered archive, and you're welcome in it - to take from, to add to, and help sustain if you can.

Hell yeah baby. We need to get public chat happening to bring the seeders in convo with each other, because there have been some issues with disappearing torrents in qbt clients (distressing, like any v2 torrent larger than a few hundred GB will just poof with default settings) and lots of guide work to do helping ppl set up seedboxes. We're going to write a client bc it turns out the state of libtorrent and clients is basically stasis, and we want to make something that's still living and experimenting - actually implement mutable torrents, use new holepunching methods, and so on.
