I didn't have this context. I always thought it was really heartless how people turned it into a meme. Honestly, it still isn't funny to me. Guess you had to be there.

How does that stop a brute force attack? As written, it only stops the single luckiest brute force attack that happens to get the password right on their first try.
A honeypot!
Don't you go giving me ideas for a new esoteric programming language.

It's super cool if you know git. It lets you track where your files are without having them all in the same place. You could have a bunch of disconnected hard disks, and git-annex will remember where you put your stuff.
You can also set a minimum number of copies and it will only let you delete stuff from one place when it's sure there are sufficient copies elsewhere.
I do not recommend using the assistant (edit: nor the webapp) if you're planning on ever reviewing the repo's history. It generated a bajillion automatic commits that drown out any handwritten commit messages.
Oh the humanity...

Doctor here, I'm sorry to inform you that you have a case of parasitic copyleftiosis. Your brain is copyleft, your body is copyleft, and even your future children will be copyleft.
Haha agreed, if we're talking about kilobytes of missing data brute forcing is intractable.
There may be structure to exploit in the data format. E.g. if you're recovering missing content from a book written in English, you can probably get away with enumerating only printable ASCII and 90% of the letters will be lowercase.
But practically, I am unconvinced because the information density is pretty high on the kinds of things people like to torrent.
I imagine that you simply snap your fingers and a serf brings over a step stool
