IPFS, use a junker VPS you buy for a month. And share the IPFS link via Hacker News. It should end up in enough caches to be self-replicating after an hour or 2.

> NZ ranked as the #1 least corrupt place in the world is some major bullshit. Or that the ratings are so corrupted to portray this place as a bastion of corruptlessness.

True that. And that dead (and removed) comment was by "Asooka".. Seems like a slur to Maurya Ashoka. Some times, things like that will also catch me.. was just wrong, but couldn't put my finger on it until now.

No, kjjw is indeed correct. They know the video. The video, the guy mocks the Indian scammer with repeated lines like "Not goot, not goot at all" in a very Midwestern->faux Indian accent. Think Apu on "The Simpsons".

I agree. The mocking because of being Indian is not cool. But harming scammers; I have a hard time not deriving enjoyment out of that. It's probably wrong.. But these people are extra-legal. The US can't touch them. The Indian gov

There's 2 levels of caching in IPFS. Persistent and temporary. Persistent is when you pin something, or add something (which pins it). It's stuck in block storage until you run a command to remove it. Temporary is when you go to s

But you're assuming sending data is 100% unique and arbitrary. We know with newer algorithms like IPFS that complex datastreams can be broken down into 256kB chunks all each individually hashed. Not only that, but most data is shared t

I'd go further than that. Given trump's recent actions regarding immigration ban, and INS/ICE going against federal judges, it seems like he's testing for a coup. https://medium.com/@yonatanzunger/tr

I would say that's false. I would put it up around .5kG/1kG as a kinetic object about 4 meters above your head and dropped. It would likely kill 50% of the population it was dropped on :-D
