I got this PC from my dad when he upgraded in like December ish. I’ve been running Kubuntu on it and just using it like a sort of general purpose desktop for me and my wife, but I’ve got a hankering for some tinkering and feel like it has more potential, so I’d love some project ideas!

    Download Wikipedia, seed Anna’s archive for a ratio of 2.1+ and then turn it off.

    Turn it on again in 2 years time and observe.

        It’s about the current (threat?) of purging Wikipedia from articles not fitting into the MAGA mind, e.g. climate, gender, race and others, as well as ‘cleaning’ the inventory of public libraries accordingly.

          No, I meant the “Anna’s archive” bit, and “seed for 2.1+ ratio” and turn it off and on again - what’s that about?

            Annas’s archive, an archive of scientific research articles and books, might be affected as well. As the download is likely a peer to peer torrent type, it is good practice to let (at least 2) others participate by seeding while keeping the own footprint low, to avoid becoming a target of ‘anti piracy’ mafia. Setting the seed ratio to 2.1 in the torrent client does essentially this.
