  I'm picturing every community building their own cloud provider (AWS equivalent) and I don't see how it would be more sustainable than having Amazon do it. I think there would be a right balance between "every community does everything with full redundancy!" and "have economies of scale take care of everything!"

    Kind of tangential, but wouldn’t it be cool to have a rack or two of Internet Archive shards in local library basements?

      I'm hoping distributed computing platforms will mature enough in the near future to get us there.

    There are other benefits from decentralization besides just sustainability, such as resiliency and autonomy.
