P2P still works great. Unfortunately the well has been poisoned for alot of people, as it's widely assumed that "torrenting" of any sort must be illegal, even if it's for perfectly legitimate purposes.

Just wanted to say this. Still using p2p in 2022. Yes, it’s less frequent than before due to ubiquitous content online but it’s still very reliable.

  Where does one go and search for magnet URIs in 2022? (Not sure if this is a copyright sensitve question but curious)

> it's widely assumed that "torrenting" of any sort must be illegal, even if it's for perfectly legitimate purposes. My understanding is that many people consider piracy illegal in the "corporations paid to make it illegal because it threatened their business model" sense

Shout out to Resilio Sync, which is “just BitTorrent”, but has been a great alternative to other sync platforms for me doing geographically distributed self-hosting.

Sort of reminded me the whole social media saga. The platforms should connect people around the globe and bring the age of understanding, love and rainbows. But instead, it turns out people really love rants and shit. Yeah, you might argue that some bad actors took advantage of the tech and turned it into the endless of darkness. But I think, the fundamental reason here is simply lack of creativity. You give people a protocol that is really good at distributing (large) files, guess how they going to use it? The cheapest use cases comes on top, of course. Make something both productive and beneficial is hard man!
