To add to this, back that local hardrive up on a REMOVABLE drive, and keep it physically detached. We are all one lightning strike away from near total loss.

or unplug the pc/nas/whatever everytime it's shut down
Would a surge protector be enough? I've never owned one, but I've considered putting my PC, router and (in the future) NAS behind both a surge protector and a UPS.
I'm honestly kind of surprised there aren't "torrent torrents." Just distributing a collection of torrents that might be of interest within a given category, say "top 100 movies of 2024." Once you have the list of torrents locally you are less reliant upon some website hosting them for you.
This is one advantage Gnutella had/has over torrents. Kind of like a federated content library. Too bad low quality content and malware were such a huge problem.
Great idea. I was very happy to find a top 100 science fiction audiobook collection torrent many years ago
I feel like this whole hobby has always existed on the verge of being deleted for whatever reason, and I am forever grateful that there are people who put this stuff up in the first place.
Still need to work out a way for me to help out.
Can someone explain to me why these services were on the clearnet to begin with?
i2p and Tor are really slow + the amount of people who use them are small compared to the clearnet and also a lot of those websites have ads on their website which would not work on i2p or Tor , so it does not make any sense to host it there.
I guess z-library needs to make a template on how to get a setup like theirs working. Unlimited subdomains lmao
Thanks for reminding me. Yeah I need to backup my ROM library of old games. Got most of them from Vimm's lair earlier this year. They had to take down a lot of the games shortly after cause threats of law suit from Nintendo, Sega among others. It's just absurd many of the games on there are not even available legally anymore.
