Delft University Creates Self-Replicating Seedbox in Quest for Decentralized Democracy

Has your printer received a DMCA piracy notice? Has your seedbox been cancelled? You feel The Internet is degraded into dystopia? We need to repair The Internet!

Today we release the first open source code for an attack-resilient network of seedboxes. At Delft University of Technology we have been working for years decades to fix The Internet. We are activists driven by cyberpunk, relentlessly not giving up on this faded dream. With your help we will switch millions billions of users away from YouTube, Netflix, and Spotify slop. Our code released today can convert any Creative Commons licensed YouTube video to Bittorrent. Our community seedboxes operate with collective Bitcoin donations.

A server buying another server with Bitcoins and cloning itself is one of our core defence lines against DNS and DMCA attacks. All seedboxes renew themselves every month. They can buy a VPN in Sweden, Iceland or Switzerland autonomously. We worked since 2016 on self-replicating seedboxes, especially the SporeStack API made autonomous buying of VPS hardware more robust. But be warned: this is cutting-edge "Complex Systems Science" and not yet production-level code.

We're not selling you any token, no AI startup, no advertisements, and no vibe code crap. We simply want our Internet back. Please help and check out our open source code. Tribler has proudly been developed by 316 student volunteers for 21 years. We want strategic autonomy for every citizen. Big Tech is investing $1+ trillion in AI enslavement, we aim to nullify that money. Our seedboxes also enable non-profit collaborative AI. We did decentralised AI before it was cool, in 2012.

With a few fresh millions we're now hiring new phds and post-docs, check out our ideas and apply if interested.
