I have a pretty substantial amount of storage for things I have collected over the years. Podcasts, YouTube videos, Gifs even stuff from back when Flash animations were popular. All organized and curated. Because it's private I don't really have to worry about copyright laws as well. 6 disks in a raid 10 array with 2 hot spares. It's rather cumbersome now but hopefully the tech will get good enough to be able to maintain itself for a few hundred years before I die. I know some of that stuff will be lost to time, some of it you already can't find online. I call it the ark. I hope some day down the road I can blow some historians mind.
Perhaps, long from now, they might quote internet comments from sites like HN like we quote the Greek philosophers. "cmdrfred the elder once said...". I should make a habit of ripping the front page or so and comments for the ark.
