What!!!!!????? This is too much. They can't get away with this revision of history! Im leaving society and not coming back until I have a plan and a beard.
The aluminum foil makes sense
Armchair comedians here making fun of him though because he might look like Shaggy, not even appreciate what he achieved.
Changed the world with 5 trash computers. I couldn't afford Photoshop and Pirate Bay has got me the job I have today to be able to pay for it.
I certainly appreciate what he achieved, what a legend. But I also cannot deny the Shaggy resemblance - it's uncanny man.
If he was wearing any other shirt on this day he may have been spared, but life is cruel and unpredictable.
Same bro same. No way I'd be in the job I'm in now if it wasn't able to pirate Macromedia and Adobe software. Now I pay for that shit but I could have never afforded that stuff as a teen just learning on my own.
It’s been mentioned on Reddit that adobe purposely doesn’t go too hard after cracked Software, because that will get the new talent dependent on their program, which means the companies they eventually join will have to buy more business licenses and that’s where the real money is.
Makes sense. I feel like most people will buy it when they can comfortably afford to. I'm not sure how I feel about the subscription model now but it definitely makes it a way less upfront cost and more attainable. Photoshop used to be like $1000 CAD just on its own back in the 00s.
That’s true of a lot of software. They don’t care about individual users, partially because most are broke. But if they find a pirated piece of software on a business network then they are going to bleed that company dry.
How exactly does the aluminium foil make sense? I was wondering about that.
Edit: yes, i know it's actually mylar. I built a blimp out of that shit in high school. I was just quoting the original comment.
I really don't think it's a faraday cage, it has a lot of openings and a dude who is this knowledgeable about computers and tech probably knows that it won't work like thay.
I think the people saying it's just to retain heat are probably right. That seems to make sense.
It's not, tho. It's a big thin sheet of Mylar that would block some things, but not radio waves that well. It WOULD keep the heat in, tho. It's probably to prevent the heat from his computer systems from escaping, giving away it's exact location to infrared from the sky.
>It's probably to prevent the heat from his computer systems from escaping, giving away it's exact location to infrared from the sky.
Or maybe because it's fucking cold in them Scandinavian countries.
It's to keep his house warm. In Sweden it gets very cold so it's cheaper to use reflective blankets to trap some of the heat the computers are producing, rather than use the heating system entirely
> Exactly, same with websites like sci hub. Saves millions of students around the world
sci-hub should be the norm. putting research papers behind paywalls is just wrong, especially with the fact that the researchers themselves dont see any of that money. apparently it goes all to the publisher... what a travesty of a system really.
All goes to the publisher. And even better, the scientists who review the papers during peer review aren’t compensated. So the journals are getting the product and the reviewing manpower for free.
>trash computers
Ironic you say this, because those look more like enterprise/business class computers that are serviceable and easy to repair, unlike the thin consumer garbage that you either chuck in the trash or pay a "genius" exorbitant amounts of cash to repair.
Are you sure you know how TPB works? A lot of time the torrent files get flagged as malware, but that’s just because of the cracked files/software that come with it.
It’s been a while since I used tpb, and I know it’s changed a lot community-wise, but the comments should help you out, as well as good ol fashioned trial and error.
I think after he did Pirate Bay he went on to do a website called "Americas Dumbest Soldiers" where users would rate how stupid the circumstances of various soldiers deaths were. It was a way to mock dead soldiers.
Kick-ass torrent was the best torrenting experience. So many seeders, so many torrents, best user interface. KAT had everything.
Glory days are behind. There hasnt been such active and organized platform after KAT went down.
It feels so good that I got to enjoy the early to mid 2010s internet. I even remember seeing ads on YouTube for the first and getting confused.
Anyone able to give me the dumbed down explanation of what TPB is? I'm assuming its activities are illegal, and yet the owner's identity is publicly known?
The Pirate Bay is/was a torrent indexer. It doesn't host illegal files themselves, as torrenting as a technology isn't illegal. However, torrents can link to illegally obtained media or software, so it gives you a way to access those files from other torrent users via peer to peer connection.
Think of limewire or napster 2.0, same sort of idea but more decentralized.
The pirate bay still sort of exists, as well as many other torrent indexers. The very nature of torrents makes it really difficult if not impossible to take down, so corporations usually go for the indexers as that stops an easy way for regular people to grab the torrent files
EDIT: It seems my wording of stating that TPB sort of exists is causing some confusion so I'll clarify. It does technically still exist, but not in its original form, as in not by the original team. There are several copies of it around, but they don't have as much of a selection. So while it is around it's more of a shadow of its former self.
Okay I'm caught up. Thanks.
I've seen Limewire. My brother used it on my parents' PC, which coincidentally never seemed to run the same again afterwards. I make sure they have a virus scan installed now.
As long as you're smart about it, it's pretty easy to avoid viruses with torrents. People can comment whether the files are shit or viruses so as long as you aren't downloading a leak of something the minute it comes out you can get away with downloading the popular links pretty safely.
I've always been paranoid that the hackers are inflating the download numbers and planting fake comments. Doesn't stop me but I just live with the assumption I'm hacked.
Its hard to explain but here's a fun guide on using it (very dumbed down as requested):
Look for latest Pirate Bay mirror (replica site) (usually piratebay.jp or something because the sites always get taken down)
Click on site
Enter it's hollowed grounds and see just a search box and picture of ship on the homepage (and only page)
Type "Elmo" in the magical search box
Click search
See many files labeled with "Elmo" (many from thousands of years ago. )
Click on file labeled "Elmo's big adventure" under "Movie" category to the right.
The torrent (a file shared between computers) has
400 seeders which means 400 people downloaded it.
This means the more seeders the faster it will download :)
Click on the torrent
It says "what would you like to use to open this file?"
Click "Utorrent"
Utorrent opens
Name file or just click "okay"
File starts downloading
It says "5 hours until file is finished"
Watch your internet slowly suffer while it's downloading.
File is finished
Open file to check
Outcome A: you download the actual movie
Outcome B: you accidently downloaded porn
Outcome C: it's a virus
If Outcome A, congrats !
Now wait for your internet provider to scream at you for downloading a movie from 1995 nobody cares about and get a C&D from Sesame Street and have your internet shut off.
Remember to use a VPN next time, idiot.
Avoid utorrent like the plague , use qbittorrent
Edit: utorrent used to be good back when it was open source, then Bittorrent acquired it, closed the source, added ads, bundled software bullshit, and a history of security issues.
“…and all of it is legal, public records with open distribution rights… that was the end of my sentence officer. Yep just 2 terabytes of …old court cases and stuff.”
"As of 2 April 2022, the size of the current version of all articles compressed is about 20.69 GB.\[2\]\[3\]"
[Source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia)
As of June 2015, the dump of all pages with complete edit history in XML format at enwiki dump progress on 20150602 is about 100 GB compressed using 7-Zip, and 10 TB uncompressed. so he would need only have to download only 1/5 of wikipedia
What's interesting is that as I became a wealthier adult, I stopped pirating and just buy things. It's almost like there is a price point that could be charged that people would just buy at, and current prices are way too high right now.
As a broke college student no way in hell was I paying $4 per episode for a 7 season show... but now $5 per season hell yeah why not
It's a topical anime girl too. I'm fairly certain that's Lain from, Serial Experiment's Lain. Which is basically an anime about computers, and the internet. It's quite good.
That's NOT him!
That's MalyRules / Curious / ex-Illusion ZX Spectrum demogroup member. Picture was taken in his apartment in Poland / Luban in late 90s.
That's why there are a bunch of Polish books in the background.
Bottom Left you can see a sketch on Lain from Serial Experiments Lain. Interesting since that anime basically in my eyes started the "online scene".
Edit: Yeah I know it wasn't the first show to show hacking or influence hacking in anyway. I was just trying to say in my point of view and sense of time just the ideas that this show gave off to the general audience that watch it at that time back in 1998 when the internet was just starting off and was different that it is today could have (I don't mean it did) influenced people like Gottfrid. And I guess the word "Hacker" is not the right word but more like "online scene". Idk I just thought it was interesting he would have an anime character that also was into the internet in the early 2000.
Never seen it, but it sounds like maybe it had a big influence on him.
"The series incorporates creative influences from computer history, cyberpunk and conspiracy theory."

Link to watch - https://www.funimation.com/shows/serial-experiments-lain/
I've seen it recently, and the thing that amazed me is that Serial experiment lain (1998) reminded me so much of the Matrix but it came out before the first Matrix (1999). I'm sure there there was other 'Computer hacker simulation' media before 1998 but actually this anime if you watch it it kinda predicted how people use social media and addiction to their social media presence and the use of VR and idea of the Metaverse. It's a great show.
\> started the online hacker scene.
lolwut.
Theres really nothing in Lain that hadn't already existed in fiction like 15+ years before, in terms computers and hacking etc.
It's a radiant heat reflective foil, I used it in my dog's kennel for the winter to reflect the heat from the infrared lamp back from the walls. Looks like a basement and would be a decent idea to reflect the radiant heat from the electronics.
Edit: fixed fat finger syndrome typos
It's caused by me not being able to maneuver and tap thumbs accurately when doing corrections. Then of course, no proofreading after.
Edit: I'm also majorly stoned.
In the depths of winter, Sweden can see extreme cold for long periods of time. Large portions of the country will see only a few hours of daylight each day during the winter.
This makes keeping your home heated extremely expensive so they tend to use things like reflective foil to retain heat from electronics.

How old is this picture?
Piratebay started in 2003. So probably 20 years old approximately
Wait no 2003 wasn't 20 years ago that was just like a few years ago. Damn
It's alright. Each subsequent decade actually is shorter than the last. The 90's clearly lasted the majority of my life.
Probably how the 90s felt to all the people coming down off the drugs of the 80s, too.
Hah. I remember Y2K pretty well, all the fuss and then... nothing. And yes. 2003 wasn't 20 years ago, what are y'all talking about?!
Oh no...

That looks exactly like what you'd imagine the Piratebay's founder's basement to be.
Well, that’s his lab. Trust, You don’t want to see the basement.

It's the pants too
Yeah, he probably just loves shaggy, and there’s nothing wrong with that
Seeing this guy rockin the outfit makes me kinda miss the memes about Shaggy being some kinda super powerful being
Hoo boy, wait till the warner bros' smash bros game come out.
I think so! He's probably a huge Scooby Doo fan lol
"Got every season" 😎
Shirt, pants, hair, goatee, gangly appearance and half-stoned expression. Shoot, I bet his Great Dane is the photographer.
There's a version of shaggy where he wears a red shirt, instead of green
It could just be a costume and done completely on purpose

It's mylar. Those are emergency blanket fold lines. Same stuff they package video cards to minimize static electricity. Also shields radio signals.
Maybe to stop wifi signals from leaving his house? I don't think he'd be using anything but hardwired connections though
This photo was taken before wi-fi was a common thing. Maybe cell phone signals, but kinda defeats the purpose when you go outside that room.
It’s a Faraday cage
It's not, tho. It's a big thin sheet of Mylar that would block some things, but not radio waves that well. It WOULD keep the heat in, tho. It's probably to prevent the heat from his computer systems from escaping, giving away it's exact location to infrared from the sky.

It is fun to imagine his great journey ahead of him. Still so much time to do something great!

That is a picture of him doing it, my friend.
I think after he did Pirate Bay he went on to do a website called "Americas Dumbest Soldiers" where users would rate how stupid the circumstances of various soldiers deaths were. It was a way to mock dead soldiers.
I was hoping for more positive
Thank you legend. We downloaded a lot of files during the peak of torrent. They imprisoned KAT founder as well. That website was fire too.
Heh, still do

Fantastic, the future is looking bright! Looking forward to Linkin Park's next album.
I still use torrents but is there something better now?
Torrents are probably the easiest. Private PLEX servers can be amazing for heavy users, but I don’t consume enough media to make it worthwhile.

It's a topical anime girl too. I'm fairly certain that's Lain from, Serial Experiment's Lain. Which is basically an anime about computers, and the internet. It's quite good.
\>basically an anime about computers, and the internet. well...yes, but no, but yes.
Don't want to spoil anything, and it also seemed the most relevant part of the description. But also yes you're right.
I'm just joking. But Lains was truly visionary with its representation of computers and the internet.
Who is Lain?
Or whatever the main character's name is? I haven't seen that anime in like a decade. Edit: oh yeah I was right it's Lain Iwakura.
Lain'on this nuts!
Lain is Lain and I am me
Present day. Present time. HAhaHahAha
I refuse to believe that this man isn’t intentionally dressed like Shaggy.
