Just had this idea pop up in my mind. Instead of relying on volunteers mirroring package repositories all around the world, why not utilise BitTorrent protocol to move at the very least some some load unto the users and thus increase download speeds as well as decrease latency?
For the longest time people wondered: how do bees fly and don’t bump into each other? There are so many of them!
To find out, people used high speed cameras, and then they were shocked by the fact that bees actually do bump into each other.
Isn’t it ridiculous that we just take our assumptions on something we have no idea about as facts?
Yeah, not my brightest one, that’s for sure. Still, idk about what manu distros everyone is talking about. Big distros utilise volunteer-run mirrors, from what I’ve been able to find.
Updoot for cool bee fact. <3
