Welcome to the Crowzone Layer

Happy mušḫuššu monday everybody

“If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.”

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.

COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN

hi everyone. its june which means my birthday is this month, and also means i am losing my insurance as i am turning 26. i am on 4 medications to handle my schizophrenia and cannot afford private insurance to cover the cost of my meds. i will be using goodrx to help assist me until i can get maybe approved for state insurance, but i do not know when that will be.

that being said, it will be sever hundred dollars a month for my medication if im even able to get it. so i am trying to save up as much as i can.

i have commissions open on vgen and kofi. i also accept tips on kofi and have monthly tiers where you can get very discounted art each month. thank you to anyone who interacts to help this lesbian schizophrenic artist during pride month :,)
