Bram Cohen, the flaxen-haired hacker behind CodeCon, has been beavering away on BITTORRENT, his P2P obsession, fulltime and unpaid, for eight months. It's nearly ready to ship at DEFCON next week, but it needs a mite more testing. But there's a problem: how *do* you stress test a "swarming downloader"? BitTorrent's a helper app that's designed to allow servers to redistribute the download burden of slashdottings amongst the audience. Download a big BitTorrent-enabled file, and you'll simultaneously upload chunks to your fellow downloaders. It's a nice practical application of P2P. Except how do you simulate a slashdotting? Especially when you've already shrugged off one bona fide, slashdot.org appearence? Cohen sensibly thought of two words here: free pr0n. So he's got a 700meg porn file on his site he'd like you all to download. All of you. Preferably at the same time. If you're curious about network scaling issues, realworld Python applications, or you're just filthy, follow the link below. Preferably within a few minutes of getting this mail. You can always delete the file after you're done - hell, with production values like this, and copyright laws like that, it'd probably be best if you did. And maybe best if you didn't do this at work. http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/download.html - for Windows and UNIX (including a Debian package) http://www.debian.org/CD/ - no, *Deb*ian - talking of which, why not go hardcore, and distribute the Debian 3.0 ISOs instead?

i have tried my best to annotate the graph: in one corner, everyone is tired. in another, they are waiting for retirement. there is a big "works on my machine" in the centre, plus "would join an MLM" and "literal fascism corner" to cover all bases

fun fact: this was an incredibly large setup for such a cheap joke that's what makes it funny a screencap from the classic yatta flash animation, irrational exuberance
a sketch of a book cover, two columns in the centre, on the left it's the title and manholes at the bottom, on the right, it's manholes first, then the blurb. 2026 edition feels a little weird being in an imaginary third column, but it seems to fit there just fine
