Are you accepting feature requests?

What do you have in mind?

Elephant system design - https://gist.github.com/skorokithakis/68984ef699437c5129660d... (A distributed, voluntary backup system (high-level design document))

You're most of the way there with the distributed storage workers scheme u/stavros proposed ("Elephant") to increase Internet Archive item durability through a distributed volunteer seeder network. Feature request would be the ability to specify RSS feeds serving torrent files or magnet links to consume for seeding operations. This would also enable providing this data over ATProto for consumption, although I'm unsure at the moment if a lexicon would be needed.

If there is a tip jar, happy to tip, please consider adding to your repo or GitHub profile somewhere.

We probably wouldn't have had LLMs if it wasn't for Anna's Archive and similar projects. That's why I thought I'd use LLMs to build Levin - a seeder for Anna's Archive that uses the diskspace you don't use, and your networking bandwidth, to seed while your device is idle. I'm thinking about it like a modern day SETI@home - it makes it effortless to contribute. Still a WIP, but it should be working well on Linux, Andr…

I'd like to buck the apparent trend of reacting to your project with shock and horror and instead say I believe it's a great idea, and I appreciate what you are doing! People have been trained to believe (very long) copyright terms are almost a natural law that can't be broken or challenged (if you are an individual; other rules might apply to corporations...) but I think we are better off continuing to challenge this assumption.

I could imagine adding support for further rules that determine when Levin actively runs -- i.e. only run if the country or connection you are in makes this 'safe' according to some crowdsourced criteria? This would also serve to communicate the relative dangers of running this tool in different jurisdictions.

These are beautiful analogies, but I'd appreciate an answer my original question. Your package can explode, these torrents cannot (as far as I am aware). If you want to send me a CD to store at my house, feel free to email me.

If you end up torrenting very illegal or malicious content, who is responsible? Will it be you, the app creator?

Why do none of you understand that this is for Anna's archives official torrents only?

Thank you! I think that's a great idea, and will definitely look into implementing this.

DMCA letter sounds like small potatoes when we talk about letting random people write stuff to your disk space and using your bandwidth.

This is also known as "Hosting" which, I found amusing.

Allowing anonymous people to host files on your server is a great way to collect (and distribute!) illegal porn, stolen data, stolen software, police warrants, etc...

Can you elaborate on what big potatoes you're seeing? Genuinely asking. The Android app, for example, writes everything to the app's storage, and runs only when your phone is plugged-in and is connected to wifi. To me that generally means "when I'm sleeping". What's the big potato in this scenario?

They hated him because he told the truth moment. Any iOS or Android app could in fact, download arbitrary content without you noticing, but corporations conditioned people to only raise alarms on torrents and other community efforts.

Yes. As far as I know, with WebRTC I can make your device share certain files with peers simply by you visiting my website.

Yes, your copy of your operating system could also contain CSAM, I hope you checked every single byte just to make sure.

Please, let's be sensible and think about probabilities in the real world.

I think they were just meeting the original commenter where they already were.

what if you add a to every .html

Actually, I noticed an interesting behaviour in LLMs. We had made a docs website generator (1) that works with HTML (2) FRAMESET and tried to parse it with Claude. Result: Claude doesn't see the content that comes from FRAMESET pages, as it doesn't parse FRAMEs. So I assume what they're using is more or less a parser based on whole-page rendering and not on source reading ( including comments ). Perhaps, this is an o…

With the WWW, from here on out and especially in multimedia WWW applications, frames are your friend. Use them always. Get good at framing. That is wisdom from Gary.

The problem most website designer have is that they do not recognize that the WWW, at its core, is framed. Pages are frames. As we want to better link pages, then we must frame these pages. Since you are not framing pages, then my pages, or anybody else's pages will interfere with your code (even when the people tell you that it can be locked - that is a lie). Sections in a single html page cannot be locked. Pages read in frames can be.

Therefore, the solution to this specific technical problem, and every technical problem that you will have in the future with multimedia, is framing.

Frames securely mediate, by design. Secure multi-mediation is the future of all webbing.

Not parent but: The first thing that pops to mind is inadvertently downloading and hosting CSAM.

This isn't TOR, though it's not completely unfounded that the definition of CSAM could be broadened in the future by legislators to include things that are, by current definitions, not CSAM, e.g. works of fiction that include scenes of abuse.

Already happened in Australia, in a recent case.
