While that may work for your personal usecase, there is a significant issue around trust, if you were to share these tarballs with anyone else. I wouldn't trust you to give me originals in the same way I trust the wayback machine. So even if there are backups lying around here and there, their utility is decreased a lot.
- fermienrico 7y agoBy your philosophy, just get off the internet. At some point you gotta trust HN, your keyboard driver, CPU firmware, motherboard, ISP, Google or whatever service you're using. I am not even mentioning your mailman and your amazon delivery driver. Your stance is pretty extreme - please don't discourage people from making backups.
