Hey yall. I've got a few different computers in my home, and one of them is an old laptop that has a permanent home on my cozy desk. It's always open and on, so when I come home it's ready for use. But when I am not home it's always doing work for me and being helpful from a distance. But, there's no reason I have to be the only one it is helpful to.
So I want to seed torrents. I want to seed the torrents of small projects that need the help. So far I'm seeding Piratebox RPI, Parabola, Hyperbola, and the FOSSCAD Megapack. I tried to seed heads, but heads only offers their ISO via direct download. I tried to seed Devuan but their ISO file was fuarrrking huge, and they had a ton of seeders already.
So Lainchan, what else could my helpful laptop seed?

Can you seed this iso from the new distro Hyperbola/GNU Linux?

Yep. Added that one. I don't know why I didn't have that already considering I already see the Hyperbola normal ISO file.

Lain pls no

I now seed
* FOSSCAD mega pack
* hyperbola
* hypertalking
* parabola
* Piratebox Rasperry Pi
* Tails (AMD64 only, does tails not do intel and 32 bit CPUs anymore? The fuarrrk?)
Are there any other small projects I can help out with seeding?

Only like 3% of their users still were on x86.

>AMD64 only, does tails not do intel
AMD64 is the same as x86-64, 64 bit x86. It's just called AMD because they invented it. Intel's vision to move away from x86 (ia32) was to create a completely new architecture called ia64 (Itanium) but it flopped. Everyone went with AMD's approach because it was backwards compatible with x86 and Itanium wasn't.
> and 32 bit CPUs anymore? The fuarrrk?
You need to go back more than 10 years to find x86 hardware. Tails is intended to be used on interactive machines like laptops and maybe home desktop. It's not something to put on your 15 year old machine running under the stairs.

As other posted has said, AMD64=x86_64,
which is the architecture used by
Intel's i3/i5/i7/i9 CPUs, as well as AMD's FX and Ryzen CPUs,
as well as CPUs even older than that
For instance,
The first CPU I ever got was a Pentium 4 630 (still have it), released in 2005 IIRC
it's 64-bit

Sounds about right. No one really wants to do anonymous web browsing on a 2004 laptop so it doesn't make sense for Tails to support x86.

just for clarification,
I put a line break in my post for syntactical purposes
It is 64-bit; this I know for sure as I ran several 64-bit OSes on it.
(Weirdly, though the computer could run a 64-bit OS perfectly, the motherboard itself had a 4GiB RAM limit)
"2005" was the part to which "IIRC" referred to
(I just looked it up, and I recalled correctly: 2005Q4)

I will add, though, that I have an Acer AspireOne 751h which contains an Atom Z520 CPU, which, though released in 2008Q2, is only 32-bit
So the "is 64-bit completely expectable" debate isn't as one-sided as my first post made it sound
