Instructions are not easy. I want a out of the box solution to help without having to deeply dig into the internals. Something like archive team warriors: http://warrior.archiveteam.org/ http://warrior.archiveteam.org/ For example, > Bitswap vs DHT I don't care. I want to help without having to care about these details. > Launch one or multiple IPFS servers (see previous blog post; we currently use 4 servers in Docker). what? how? where? link? no out of the box deployment? > Alternatively, you can do what we did: add in offline mode first, add the files, then take the node online, peer with public gateways, and then finally run ipfs dht provide -r <root-cid>. what? lol

From the article: > If this is all too involved for you, or you only want to seed a small subset of the data, then it might be easier to pin a few directories: 1. Use a VPN. 2. Install an IPFS client. 3. Google the “Pirate Library Mirror”, go to “The Z-Library Collection”, and find a list of directory CIDs at the bottom of the page. 4. Pin one or more of these CIDs. It will automatically start downloading and seeding.

  Any instruction that involves "Google X" (or even a general term "Install Y"), is not a good instruction. It is like a maze - easy to go once you know the path. Otherwise - dozens of subtle things that can go wrong, at each step (e.g. installing a different version of Y, or to a wrong path, etc). The best instructions can have descirptions, but also contains a FULL list of command lines instructions, ideally without any placeholders.

    It's presumably deliberate: by keeping annas-blog.org clean from copyrighted content (or links to copyrighted content), they will be able to retain a public channel despite the illegal nature of their work.

    I usually tend to agree, but in this case the link would be a link to pirated content and would quickly get the site taken down. So "google XYZ" is the only viable way here

      There is a "wine brick"-type instruction workaround (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vine-Glo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vine-Glo): "After dissolving the brick in a gallon of water, do not place the liquid in a jug away in the cupboard for twenty days, because then it would turn into wine." I have seen this type of messages a few times on growkits.

I share your frustration. Every time an article from annas-blog shows up — which has been often lately — I am left utterly confused and with no idea how to use this or help the project.
