i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

April 25, 2026 - Activists from the direct action group “People Against Genocide” rappelled through the roof of Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems in Leicester, UK.

The group entered the site and targeted a clean room, a controlled environment that's used in the production of highly-sensitive components for IDF military drones, that can't be exposed to dust or other contaminants during production.

My wife’s condition is worsening in front of my eyes every day, and I am completely helpless to save her or ease her pain.

The doctor has clearly confirmed that we urgently need $700 immediately to continue the treatment. If this amount is not provided now, the treatment will stop completely.

This is not an ordinary request this is a plea to save a life before it is too late.

I am watching her collapse and I cannot do anything without your support.

Any delay may mean we lose her.

Even the smallest donation or sharing this post could be the difference between life and death today.

Her platelet count has dropped to only 39, which is dangerously low, and doctors are urgently requesting another N-plate 250 mcg injection before her condition completely collapses.

I am writing this while watching her slowly fade in front of my eyes.

Her face is pale, her body is weakening day after day, and the fear inside our home has become unbearable.

I am terrified of losing her, because we are poor and trapped under war and siege, unable to afford the treatment that could save her life.

Please don’t scroll past this as if it doesn’t exist.

Help my mother now with a donation or even a share before it’s too late.
