I’ve been exploring the fediverse and subbing and posting all over the damn place. Realizing lemmy can federate with kbin blew my mind. Not to mention the possibility of turning my old laptop into a personal server to host my own instance. Is this what it felt like to discover how the internet worked in the 90s?
I used download helpers that restarted from the failure point up to… 2012 I think. At the end I was rolling my own because nobody distributed it anymore, but restarting a download from the beginning is just horrible.
I think I used rocket Downloader or something along those lines… after it failed twice.
