I'm being downed for reporting on the information that I have about this? Fine. Downvote me a thousands times I will not hold my tongue. ADD: I pointed out the info was from Andy Ngo so that people could take that into account according to their own view of him. EDIT2: Ok, I got the order of events backwards.

This is my final comment. This account has been abandoned. Mike Dilger has lost faith in the Hacker News community. Mike Dilger would rather engage with retorts and argumentation than downvotes which just amount to an anonymous slap in the face, convey large amounts of emotion but zero information, and are frequently used punitively. BAD DESIGN. Goodbye. Since I can't delete my account I will scramble my password.

It's also a shame that I can't read your comments to see if they were worthy of being at the bottom of the page. Bad design indeed.

Eventually the cloud is going to burst and everyone’s data will be public. The motive will be similar to this one, where a huge blast radius of collateral damage is accepted in the name of harming bad people. Seeing people eagerly download this data that surely includes countless amounts of personal info of non-Nazis shows this clearly.

How many just regular folks would actually pick Epik? Why?

I almost picked them a while back because I searched for "domain registrars" and they came up. Nowhere on the website did it say anything about neo-nazis, fascism, conspiracy theories, etc. Just seemed like a simple registrar with no GoDaddy-esque sleaziness, and a neat, memorable domain name.

So so happy that I ended up not signing up. I just wanted a domain for my personal site and email, but I would've ended up on a public list next to nazis.

It's possible that the source sharded the torrent payload and then distributed the shards among multiple "seeds" that are brought online/offline on a rolling schedule, to avoid being identified as the lone seed. Since none of the "seeds" have the entire payload, they are identified as peers (specifically, leechers) in the torrent client.

This 30+ MB torrent file is choking ruTorrent and Deluge clients on my seedbox. Not sure how to fix it. Do you know of some alternative way to process such a large file? I have never seen such a large torrent file like this before.

The screenshot from one of the replies to the tweet (https://twitter.com/pompompur_in/status/1437905607273635847) seems to be of qBittorrent. It's open source and cross-platform, just like Deluge.

looks like you are breaking with the consensus protocol. very not cool. unless all tech workers look the same, talk the same, and think the same, we will never achieve social justice. this is your final warning to comply.

Not available on my server unfortunately. Otherwise qBitorrent is the client of choice. I have found magnet links from DdosSecrets here: https://ddosecrets.com/wiki/Epik

Edit: Turns out I didn't give enough attention to Transmission as it handled the file. Very impressive.

As a side note: this has got me pondering about testing edge cases on open source software. Wonder how much of that actually gets done.

HN has evolved features for simultaneously doing wrong and hiding the evidence of that wrongdoing. When there's no evidence, who's to say HN isn't really a wonderful place where openminded and curious people have freewheeling discussions?

Edit: aaand I'm shadowbanned.

> OFFICIAL ANONYMOUS (not to be confused with 'Anonymous Official' grifters) They should sign an ethereum address to reduce ambiguity (Any crypto asset address is fine, even PGP is good enough for this but PGP had 25 years to make that user friendly and common but failed, and cryptocurrencies made signing software more prevalent and uniform wayyyyy faster)

Trust me, nobody wants to make crypto any easier to use either. What kind of company has interests in maintaining a zero-profit moneypit?

GPG Suite tried to charge for their email plugin, what a disaster that was

Cryptocurrency address signing and wallets inherit the whole feature set so might as well run with that

rtorrent has handled literally _everything_ I've ever thrown at it
