I have decided to shut down Myrient on 31 March 2026. Until then, the site will continue to remain available in its current state. Please download any content you find important, as you have around one month to do so. There are several reasons for the closure:
Insufficient funding:
As traffic continued to increase last year, the amount of funding from donations remained the same. I have been paying more than $6000 out of pocket every month in order to cover the difference which is not sustainable.
Paywalled download managers:
In the past several months, many specialized download managers were created that completely bypassed the site, donation messages, and download protections. Some of these download managers locked certain features behind a paywall that required users to pay in order to gain access. The use of Myrient for commercial, for-profit purposes has always been strictly forbidden. Such egregious and abusive usage of the site cannot be tolerated anymore.
Rising RAM, SSD, and HDD prices:
Since last September, RAM, SSD, and HDD prices have surged dramatically and continue to rise due to the ongoing extreme demand for Al datacenters. This has caused Myrient's hosting expenses to go up as well. Necessary upgrades to the storage and caching infrastructure only exacerbated the problem. With a large number of servers and the aforementioned existing monthly deficit in excess of $6000 out of pocket, there is no way to pay for the increased hosting and hardware upgrade costs.
There are still many other smaller reasons, could go on and on about them, but nobody would want to read it.
In short, I can no longer afford to run the site.
If you have any comments, you can send them to support@erista.me (I will read all of them and might respond to a few).
Thanks for using Myrient over the years.
This is the worst thing to have come from AI. Under socialism, myrient would be a state-funded public service.
These guys have such a thick accent that I had to replay the video multiple times to parse what they're saying omg. And I still don't fully get what they said. For posterity, I've written down what I understood but someone help me out here. (The parts that I'm not clear on are bracketed)
Ya sé cómo demos, cómo demos ya [con cuidado.]
Lo bueno que tiene el AK es que yo sé manipularla, yo sé [limpiarla.]
Esto es una máquina, líder.
Si el líder está aquí, se le hace [ahora ahora.]
Esta la voy y le pongo un silenciador, y se fue. Se fue [ya de una.]
Esta es el agarre de la empuñadura que lo tiene, mira. Un agarre de madera que parece que tiene un tirapiedra agarrado por ahí, mira. Qué cosa más incómoda, ¿mm? Madera. Que eso se parte. Esto no es confortable.
Pero esto no sirve, de todo para los muchachos para que entrenen o algo.
Ay, que eso no sirve ni para entrenar.
Esto es Zastava hecha en Serbia. Esto es Zastava. Lo que no es: la Zastava que dice [Harvey] que es la que está modernizada. Esta es la Zastava vieja. Esto es lo más cerca que hay de un AK47 Ruso. Lo más cerca.
Pero no sé si funcione la Zastava [siendo de nada.]
Si tú de lejos como esto parta a cualquiera, imagínate tú de hasta quinientos metros nomás que es el alcance efectivo, ¿eh? [¿Maten o eh?]
It's funny that this happened because the feds apparently already have their own chatbot that's built to be secure, but the head honcho insisted on using normie chatgpt anyway. It's implied that he uploaded multiple files in August so I wonder if now you could cajole the bot into revealing something sensitive.
Saludos compa. Yeah I put that stuff on everything, even soup. The maruchan noodles that come with lime and chile flavor just don't taste the same as adding them yourself.
Does the rest of Latin America put hot sauce and lime on their popcorn or is that just a Mexican thing? I ask bc it came to my attention recently that not everyone does this…
Damn I was naïve for thinking it'd end at lootboxes, gacha, and sports gambling. Betting on arbitrary questions? This is just the Everybody Votes Wii channel, but financialized.
I really hope Spain follows through with this and that NATO starts falling apart. It's utterly ridiculous that Europe is still in lockstep with the US even when it's at their own cost.
It's cool, I'm not attacking you or anything and it's my bad if I came off that way.
The xenobots and anthrobots described by the article are plainly alive imo so it's weird that the takeaway is "there is a new category beyond life and death" instead of "dead cells can be repurposed to create new life."
