Hey, guys. I really hate SmartFilter, and I just knew there had to be something I could do. This idea came to me a few days ago. It's called Distributed Boing Boing -- it's a very simple script that anyone can put on their server. When people visit that page, it automatically fetches Boing Boing and serves up through their server -- sort of an automatic mirror. The code gets rewritten automagically to keep links working through the proxy server. It doesn't require any configuration, and it's totally safe -- only files hosted on *.boingboing.net will get passed through. Help spread the word and help keep Boing Boing flowing.Link to Distributed BoingBoing. Thank you, Mark!PS: You guys rock. Seriously, I love this place.
