As the eldest of millennials, I regularly find myself going through “ah, they’ve reinvented a situation best served by Gnutellla” events. The most most recent was an ad hoc Resilio Sync library of epub files, and I did the “yeah that works… but have you ever heard of Gnutella?” routine I have become so accustomed to: “gather around the camp fire, young zoomers, for grandpa has a story to tell you”.
