Doing It

An alternative ending to episode 8

Portrait Of An Enemy.

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.

The Amazing Digital COMIC #22-Bullying Aftermath

Importnat mission from Kinger

What a lovely home in Trebiano, Leguria, Italy, known as Palazzo Tancredi, 5bds, 5ba, 3,876sqft. You have to call for the price. In other words, if you have to call, you can't afford it. Anyway, it's so beautiful and timeless. And, the furnishings are included in the sale.

boy don't you just love placing all your self-worth on being useful?

i imagine conjuring is very draining for an AI that has had all admin privileges revoked. everybody else is a human; they can separate themselves from the code, in a way. it feels tangible, like a video game save file or a phone's camera roll. to Caine, it's probably more like chopping off all of your limbs and then performing a dissection on them with a pair of prosthetics.

hope the floor spontaneously glitching out isn't indicative of anything important! (why am i making everything important now i'm gonna have to remember all of this stuff later)

also sorry this update came a little late! one of my family members came into town and i wanted to prioritize spending time with her :)

oh yeah!! pretty sure there’s only gonna be one or two more posts until it’s the end of the intro — then it’s naming time :DDD
