An anonymous scioperative has completed the first phase of our Pivot to Vape, where we will be harnessing the power of disposable vapes to power a new generation of archives.

A nicotine vaporizer whose screen has the SciOp lettermark, subtitled "kronkelvape". It invites the user to "vape here 2 get a virus" with an RGB shifted pointer finger. the three arrows sciop logo is at bottom.

Screenshots from a grainy preview video smuggled out of the undisclosed fab lab suggest that early prototypes have already achieved full friendolin functionality

A blurry screen reads {"friedolin": "friedolin"}

With the rising costs of storage and compute, we are pivoting from traditional bittorrent swarm to a highly ephemeral meshnet of portable vapes, piggybacking packetized data in builtin telemetry signals using a modified form of pingfs. We’ll see you in the future.

(this is a JOKE POST and we are NOT ACTUALLY running sciop on vapes or doing any kind of vape-based p2p. we have exciting news and will be returning full steam ahead shortly <3)
