With IPFS this can be avoided by using IPFS pinning. It can be done on any node but usually the use of an IPFS pinning service from providers such as Pinata and/or Infura makes the most sense.
It’s the best of both worlds - IPFS will still do it’s decentralized thing but with a pinning service even when individual IPFS nodes do garbage collection or otherwise expire an object locally they can always go fetch it from the persistent copy stored with the pining service.
- mukesh610 5y agoIf my understanding is correct, IPFS provides a way to only store files. Wayback Machine archives entire webpages, along with any CSS or JS (?) included. So building a webpage archival service over IPFS needs significantly more development effort.
- kkielhofner 5y agoYou're absolutely correct. I wasn't commenting on the appropriateness or suitability using IPFS for the purpose of archiving webpages. I was replying to parent that there is an IPFS solution for the expired objects/dead links issue.
