#myrient — Public Fediverse posts

One good thing of this entire #Myrient and #Minerva "situation" is that it makes more people familiar with #torrents. So it helps decentralise the web again. Even if just ever so slightly.

Oh but it is also kinda interesting that when I specifically asked about an example for such a "corrupted file" and a diff I didn't get any response at all.

So anyone know what all of this is about?

Esp. because some mentioned them injecting or modifying the files I'm now also kinda interested in this from a #infosec perspective...

Guys, get out your Internet Archive accounts. A video game repository called Myrient is closing down tomorrow, and a staggering 390+ terabytes of data will disappear with it. I am currently saving webpages at /Eggman's Arcade Repository/!EXTRAS/. Unfortunately, nearly all the saves are 404 errors, even though the files can still be downloaded directly from the site, so we may need to upload them.

#SignalGroup for preserving the #Myrient #ROM database using #BitTorrent

Myrient is a huge collection of retro games and a very nice project. But as they are based on centralized cloud storage, the immense costs were not sustainable. By building a community of people who seed the files for free, the project can stay alive!

#retrogaming and #vintagecomputing #archive #Myrient is shutting down due to rising costs in hosting and hardware. This is indeed a very sad development in the preservation of vintage software.

If you're into this sort of thing, hurry up and mirror the things you need before it shuts down on March 31 2026.

I'll be sure to grab anything related to the #Enterprise #microcomputer, as well as some old #NES stuff.

Oh and someone within the #VirusTotal community flagged their latest Windows version as #RedLineStealer.

#RomVault appears to be a quite "interesting" piece of software...
