@itzpaquet Most of my BitTorrent integration stuff is within the bt-fetch module. https://github.com/RangerMauve/bt-fetch

In Agregore you can skip importing it and use the Browser's built-in `fetch()` API directly (or GET URLs anywhere there could be an HTTP URL).

You can also paste magnet links and have it auto-convert to `bittorrent://` URLs. The URLs are there to make relative URLs and cross-origin isolation easier.

@itzpaquet Yeah! I think that approach is great. I've also been trying to keep the p2p bits as minimal as possible within the protocol handlers (basically at the level of GET/PUT/DELETE). Having a similar "metaphor" between them makes it easier to try out different ones. I think BitTorrent is a great one to focus on since it's well proven and there's lots of client implementations out there.

@itzpaquet Agregore currently supports BitTorrent/IPFS/Hypercore-Protocol. It's also got some initial support for SecureScuttleButt and I'm talking to folks about adding more protocols.

Sadly the embedded web archiving extension (ArchiveWeb.Page) only supports IPFS uploading right now, but BitTorrent uploading would be easy enough. Just need to find the time to add it.

@Hyolobrika@berserker.town If you're curious here's a website tracking some of this stuff: https://translegislation.com/

Also important to remember that this is just a small prong of the beast. Trans people just happen to be an easy target, but eventually everyone that isn't particularly priviledged is gonna get shat on. This is also combined with the erosion of workers rights across the board for e.g.

@Hyolobrika@berserker.town The other thing to note though is that there's literally hundreds of anti-trans bills popping up across the states and they're all different levels of awful. A lot of it isn't being reported on by lamestream media because it's either owned/lobbied by groups that want to keep this hush hush but also can't keep track of everything.

@Hyolobrika@berserker.town I think the main reason is that this will prevent a lot of unnecessary death. Getting gender affirming care prevents suicides and is generally beneficial to society. Personally I'm in the "healthcare should be free for everyone" camp (coming from Canada).

It's also not really "taxpayers" paying for it. Government spends money on random shit according to its whims anyway, sadly. More gets spent on mansions or tax cuts to corpos.

@Hyolobrika@berserker.town I don't recall which states since there's so many of them. But they started with forcing teens to detransition (proven to lead to more trans people comitting suicude), and now adults are being forced to detransition too.

I think this happening after the roe-vs-wade thing is a sign that the US gov (mostly via repubicans) is slowly removing people's right to bodily autonomy and just starting with the most vulnerable population first.

@Hyolobrika@berserker.town Thankfully not yet! It's pretty troubling to see that there's an increase of calls for violence against LGBTQ folks as well as their identity being made illegal in a lot of states (slowly, and thankfully a lot of stuff is being repealed). A lot of folks are already being forced to "detransition" for example which is worrying from a human rights point of view.
