- Library Genesis (libgen) has begun mirroring its scitech collection on IPFS; a curated 100 k-book subset is offered for pinning once a user has already pinned 1 k items.  
- Participants noted that IPFS remains sluggish in practice and lamented that the protocol’s main development is now driven by the for-profit Filecoin project rather than remaining purely community-driven.  
- The diyhpluswiki repository added transcripts covering Michael Flaxman’s Bitcoin-security discussion and Greg Maxwell’s proposal to replace PGP with Bitcoin message signing, underscoring ongoing interest in cryptographic identity and decentralized trust.  
- A new pre-print on room-temperature superconductivity (arXiv:2011.12891) was shared, continuing the channel’s pattern of tracking cutting-edge materials science.  
- Multiple active libgen mirror domains (libgen.rs, libgen.fun, libgen.life, b-ok.cc) and a small ISO-standards subsection were catalogued, highlighting the community’s efforts to maintain resilient access to scientific literature.
