- myself248 4y agoI can't understand why there isn't inertia behind restarting ia.bak or similar efforts. That seems critical to me, way more so than an official mirror which would be vulnerable to the same takedown and other pressure.
- db48x 4y agoBecause it’s a lot of work.
- throw_nbvc1234 4y agoI'd also guess because (potential) mechanisms to do so would be attacked on forums like HN because they sound too close to crypto/web3 and most people wouldn't bother to separate ideology from technology and create a PR nightmare for internet archive. So it's probably harder to recruit people to work on it. See Filecoin Foundation and their work with IA.
- ajdude 4y agoJust do something similar to folding coin, which is used for things like protein folding. Perhaps an Internet archive coin that can be earned by hoarding backups of the archive on hard drives.
- jetbalsa 4y agoIts also a really hard issue. My fav is IPFS, Its the most common suggestion but it only works on paper. IPFS Allows people to pin things, but it still has to be stored /somewhere/ and, it gets really damn slow once you throw more then a million files at it (I know... we tried) Overall, Its just a giant archive, its hard to store that much data in a cheap manner that will last 20 years.
- textfiles 4y agoI can understand why.
- FuriouslyAdrift 4y agoAround 1 PB of the Archive is available via torrent for backup. The full Archive was around 10 PB back in 2012 so I imagine it's quite a bit bigger, now. https://help.archive.org/help/archive-bittorrents/ https://help.archive.org/help/archive-bittorrents/
- jetbalsa 4y agoNorth of 40PB nowadays. You can find these stats buried in their public links. They do not hold up well to traffic so I will not link them.
- jonah-archive 4y agoOur numbers as of the end of 2021: https://archive.org/web/petabox.php https://archive.org/web/petabox.php 4 data centers, 745 nodes, 28,000 spinning disks Wayback Machine: 57 PetaBytes Books/Music/Video Collections: 42 PetaBytes Unique data: 99 PetaBytes Total used storage: 212 PetaBytes
- jetbalsa 4y agoGeeze, Its much higher then I though! 212PB is damn hard to store!
