This will be my first year attending the annual event, and I'm super excited! I'm a long time fan of the Wayback Machine, even though my early work is terribly embarrassing :) Love what the archive does, which is so much more than snapshots of old websites. If you somehow have not read the mission statement, it's worth a minute: https://archive.org/about/ https://archive.org/about/

  I'm now almost weirdly proud of the crap work of mine that I can find on the wayback machine :-) For instance: 2nd April 2004 [1] was my first crap Flash animation for my consultancy company at the time. It's terrible, but watching it now gives me so much nostalgia!

If you're not hosting that site P2P yet you're just centralizing the distributed Web.

  A digital library sort of implies centralizing? I think this thread explores how you can contribute to decentralization of the hosted content: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17685682 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17685682

  What an entitled attitude to throw at one of mankind's greatest digital resource, without even researching the subject. And you have the balls to ask "When did HN turn into Reddit?" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18092654 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18092654) ...
