How do you recommend engaging with the situation then? Throw out the book too?
- maaaaattttt 2y agoNot OP but torrent would be my go to for a short term solution.
- anonzzzies 2y agoTorrent would do it but 16TB is still not that cheap to just have running in your house nas (otherwise I would).
- lou1306 2y agoOf course this is more of a job for responsible universities/libraries/research centres around the world, rather than single individuals. I would be surprised if Harvard didn't already go through their contact list to ensure as many copies are being made as possible.
- bilekas 2y agoTorrent would definitely be a great approach, 16TB is a commitment, but there's no problem with partial seeding also. I would choose selective chunks which consist of completed files.
- IsTom 2y agoYou can download and share only selected parts of a torrent. With enough people you're going to get full coverage anyway.
- nicce 2y agoAssuming that people randomly select the portions.
- vincnetas 2y agohow do you coordinate who downloads which part?
- IsTom 2y agoTorrents track availability of pieces, you can seed ones with least availability if you want that.
- WhyNotHugo 2y agoPotential attack vector: seed excessive copied of a portion from many sock-puppets. Wait for non-sock-puppet seeds to dwindle. All the existing copies are now under your control.
- Fnoord 2y agoEuropean chiming in here. We need to backup, hash, and distribute this data. I bought four 12 TB HDDs (second hand enterprise) for about 360 EUR from USA (included tax & S&H). I could buy more, but I am feeling financially insecure now, and not buying anything from the USA anymore. I do have 3x 4 TB drives spare though. Might use these instead of going to some great parties.
- tuukkah 2y agoTake these new attack vectors into account in your threat analyses. In this specific case, perhaps start by shipping copies to non-US jurisdictions.
- matwood 2y ago> Take these new attack vectors into account in your threat analyses. Exactly. And while it might not be possible to protect against all the new vectors day one, no one should be surprised.

- lou1306 2y agoOn the technological side torrents, IPFS, and the like, urging international collaborators to make copies of everything public. On the political side mass protests, strikes, whistleblowing, general unrest that goes beyond mere social media activism.
- greenie_beans 2y agoread curtis yarvin, find the weaknesses in his arguments, and use those weaknesses against their ideology. for start, he thinks FDR was a dictator but the only reason FDR had such power was because the support of labor and some parts of capital. he would know that if he was a historian instead of LARPing as one. so organizing and supporting the labor movement would be a good place to start, since a organized labor could become a powerful poltical force. otherwise everybody is fragmented on both sides which further enables their ideology. a recent blog of his gave me this idea: https://graymirror.substack.com/p/the-pleasure-of-error https://graymirror.substack.com/p/the-pleasure-of-error he legit thinks trump is about to be FDR 2.0 but his mistake is ignorance about how the power worked during that time. you can even use his "differential" idea in that essay against him. the differential now is labor against wealth. always has been, especially when FDR wielded all the power yarvin thinks was a dictatorship since a lot of that power was given to him by the support of the massive labor movement at the time. more practically, this blog has some good insight into the "what do i dooooo?????" question https://wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-things-to-do-if-trump-wins/ https://wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-things-to-do-if-tru...
