Thanks for the links. I downloaded the docs and will add them to the pile.

I don’t see this posted here yet. Below is the Github repo link for an index of torrent files, DOJ links, and mirrors, for every dataset. https://github.com/yung-megafone/Epstein-Files

I have been seeding all of the datasets since Sunday. The copy of set 9 has been the busiest, with set 10 a distant second. I plan on seeding them for quite a while yet, and also picking up a consolidated torrent when that becomes available.
Hopefully you are able to get connected via the Swarm.

I am seeding sets 1-8, 10-12, and the larger set 9. Seedbox is outside the US and has a very fast connection.
I will keep an eye on this post for other sets. 👍


I have been using various Debian-flavored Linux variets for several years in both desktop and server.
Recently I got a System76 laptop for work because they are food quality, repairable, and mostly “just work”. The main issue I have run into is Cisco Secure Client (formerly AnyConnect) simply breaks in Ubuntu/PoP. If I do get it to install by ignoring Cisco’s shitty instructions, it either won’t route traffic once connected or corrupt itself attempting to auto-update.
It is purely a Cisco issue because they don’t put much effort into their Linux VPN software. Other VPNs not only work easily, but can also integrate into PoP Cosmic. Cisco and their restrictive nature just make the process impossible.
Heck, you can’t even download their VPN software without a Cisco contract. So if my company doesn’t provide the correct version or distro package, there is no way for me to get it. Since most people on the helpdesk don’t know anything about Linux, they simply provide the generic Linux.tar.gz file instead of the DEB or RPM files.
I gave up and installed Windows on a second NVMe.
I will save this one for work!
Definitely looks like a storage array. Based on how the drives look, maybe an EMC Clariion (CX or CX3 model)?


I have used Docker Swarm in my homelab for years without big issues, you just have to be aware of its limitations. For example, I use SWAG for my reverse proxy and it works better as a compose deployment on an individual docker node because then it can identify incoming IPs. All of the backend communication runs on internal networks, which helps isolate them.
I like using Swarm at home because it is simple and easy while providing good scalability and security (yes, I know podman would be more secure, but I haven’t taken that plunge yet).
That being said, Docker Swarm isn’t used in the industry much. So if you are looking to expand on your IT skills, K8s is the way.
A consolidated (and structured) torrent file has been released: https://github.com/yung-megafone/Epstein-Files/issues/1#issuecomment-3860836655
Currently clearing data from my seedbox to get this added.
