    It's a great kind of project to try! I did something similar and I was humbled when looking at other people's bencode encoders/decoders. It's also a great way to check out language…

    Very practical for IT work or if you just want to put all of your useful ISOs somewhere like a large USB stick. You can have your Win/AV/Rescue/Linux/Memory testing and other tools…

    Funnily, few Athenians know about this, but if you ask them if they know about an "Indian Tomb", they will most probably know the nickname of Panathinaikos basketball indoor arena:…
