Recently discussion of artificial intelligence and consequences of its development has finally somewhat reached mainstream. I decided I needed to share my thoughts too.

TLMC "timeout" version, 2023.01.15
If you prefer your touhou albums somewhat disorganized, but later, rather than organized, but never, then this version is for you.
Single torrent : 1.55 TiB or 1 701 548 530 091 bytes.
Torrent file size is 18 106 928 bytes; contains 67 197 files.
Magnet link.
Added on 2023-04-25: Recent versions of uTorrent are broken (see user problems in comments) and will fail to open this torrent. Use other clients. I suggest qBittorrent.
This torrent contains only new content relative to TLMC v.19, so if you want a complete collection you need both.

Looking for volunteer domain owners
Some time ago I encountered a problem with this domain, but was able to resolve it with external help. However, current owner is no longer comfortable with that role.
Unless something is done about it the tlmc.eu domain will expire in early 2023.
So, once again I'm looking for a EU citizen (or an owner of a EU-based company) to acquire ownership of this domain and keep pointing it to the same location. You will need to disclose your real name and other info to the EURid and your registrar of choice.
If you're willing to help, please contact me (xmpp: rwx@headcounter.org, preferred) or the current domain owner (removed as no longer applicable).

A slight delay you probably shouldn't worry about.
Summary:
Next torrent version is in a state I'm not entirely content with, but I'm willing to just add some finishing touches, share it that way and apply fixes in the version after that. Unfortunately because of circumstances outside of my control I will have much MUCH more important things to do with my free time in the next several weeks (I wish). However, after that I expect to plan to resume working on it and make a release.
Long version:
I happen to live in a certain country whose senile mass-murderer at the top decided to attack and invade Ukraine.
I spent most of the last week in shock (call me weak if you want), primarily because there was nothing I thought I could realistically do about it (call me slow if you want).
Right now I'm looking for job offers in other countries, but because of a strong and quite literally one-in-a-million preference[*], there is only one country (US) which at the moment satisfies it and it's neither easy nor fast to get in there and two moves are as bad as two thirds of a fire... but I digress.
If there's any western company which can offer permanent relocation + status adjustment, which needs a C/C++/Go/etc software engineer with 5+ years of job experience who also accidentally got a PhD in theoretical physics when he was young and adventurous, please don't hesistate to contact me at xmpp-jabber address rwx@headcounter.org or offer other contact channels here in comments that are more convenient for you.
There is also a slim, but worryingly nonzero chance that the scum in the Ministry of Censorship will completely cut off internet connectivity (and then blame it on the Evil West). In that case, OOPS.
One last thing. I don't think this warning is needed here, but just to be sure: pro-kremlin commenters will be shot on sight.
[*] I'm not telling what it is, but you can have this cute picture instead.
