For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by installing an x11vnc server on your host, setting up a SSH tunnel to a remote server which forwards the host's VNC port, and sharing SSH credentials with

How does the non-profit select content to preserve? Can I just upload anything I want, 10 hour dashcams, and so long as it's not illegal it stays up? What is the criteria for exclusion and how is it better than YouTube's?
