That’s sliding pretty close to Fahrenheit 451 or 1984!

There is no evil under the Sun that has not been committed by man.

As a species we are 100,000 years old but we are only just barely out of the dark ages.

firstly, 300,000 years

secondly, just because someone has struck the flint does not mean the kindling has caught. Do not mistake intelligence for wisdom.

Is there a banned book torrent that folks can seed?

[–] Furball@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Books are small files which aren’t big enough for torrents to be useful. Go ahead and look on z-lib, which has whatever book you could possibly want available for direct download

I was thinking of a large curated torrent, every time the a book gets banned it gets added to the torrent, one stop shop to fight modern book burning

Torrents can’t be modified once they are made. Making 1 torrent and adding things to it wouldn’t be possible to do

BitTorrent v2 supports modifying torrents as well as deduping matching files from multiple sources (great for varying collections of books)
