Torrents over Nostr via nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 : A quick FAQ.
What are torrents?
Torrents are used to distribute files over a decentralized network of computers. This means that there is no central server that is responsible for storing the files. Instead, the files are stored on the computers of people who have downloaded them.
Torrents themselves are decentralized, but the trackers for them are not. Trackers are websites or indexes of available torrents.
Why are torrents over Nostr beneficial?
Torrent metadata is stored on Nostr relays. Generally speaking, when a torrent site is shut down, all the metadata is lost or fragmented, creating problems for users of that centralized service provider. Using Nostr means that its extremely easy to replicate and serve the metadata, keeping torrents alive, since no central point of failure exists.
How can you run your own "tracker"?
"DTAN" is available for those that use Docker. You can get the images on Dockerhub here: https://hub.docker.com/r/voidic/dtan You need to be familiar with docker or run a home server that uses docker.
Do you need to run your own tracker website?
No, you can use the existing one located here: https://dtan.xyz However, if you wanted to easily run one, the option exists. This farther increases the decentralization of torrents over Nostr.
Aren't torrents only used to pirate software and other illegal digital content?
No! Many legit businesses use torrents to help distribute large files to help save on their bandwidth costs. But yes, pirated movies, tv shows, music, and software applications also exist. You should not download those, ever. What sort of person would do that?
Pretty cool
Educate your family members:
Captialism is not bad.
It's crony capitalism and consumerist culture which is the real source of rot in the US.
The dentistry office has both waiting room music as well as a TV with the volume on.
Why do we have to live in a cocophany world?

While I definitely prefer the sound of his older, highly idiosyncratic beat-focused releases, Datasette is still pushing out decent stuff.
Anyone here old enough to have had their hands on this pre-CDr tech?
I had a shelf unit first, later a minidiscman.
Sold it all for eurorack a few years ago.
This was a godsend in pre-mp3 times. You could rip your friend's out of print CDs to the exact same quality.
The tactile quality was very satisfying as well. Plus you could edit them to your liking. Max 90 mins in stereo and double that in mono.

Joined this... group/community last night via Amethyst. Nothing in the app interface allows you to navigate directly to it. Have to find a relevant post and click.
"better check the browser clients"
Cannot even figure out how to access it from Iris, Snort or Primal.
I'm guessing the feature (new NIP or something?) needs to be discreetly support on each client?

Dude what on earth are you talking about.
You can subscribe to any podcast via rss, and use any app. Pushing to use the walled gardens is horseshit.

Was a nice place for a spell. Have run the chain of lakes many many times.
For the record, Cedar Lake is the epicenter of what I liked most about MPLS but Harriet was second best.
Was I right? 😁
