fraggle<p>When the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) launched in 2015, the goal was to make the web more permanent and resilient. Today, it’s not just a concept, it’s being used to keep important knowledge online when traditional hosting fails. During the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers used IPFS to mirror and share critical datasets and preprints, ensuring global access even under heavy demand. Groups like the Internet Archive and Libre Space Foundation have explored IPFS to safeguard everything from satellite telemetry to cultural artifacts, creating copies that can’t just disappear if one server goes offline.</p><p>This is the real power of IPFS: keeping data alive, whether it’s life-saving research, space science, or the history we don’t want erased. It’s a glimpse of a web where the important things stay accessible no matter what.</p><p><a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/ipfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IPFS</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/decentralization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Decentralization</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/datapreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataPreservation</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/openscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenScience</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/futureweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FutureWeb</span></a></p>

patricos<p>In this madness of the internet data and hard storages are more relevant than ever. "its in the internet, it is forever" does not seem to be a rule any more. There are more and more of lost media. And corpos want to train their AI slop with our cloud data.<br> <br>So one concrete advice is to treasure these boxes full of digitall goodness. And have multible drives on different locals to backup your stuff with YOU deciding who has access.

Continued thread

The ArchiveTeam Warrior has been running intermittently on my laptop for ten days now.

It downloads stuff and puts it into the Internet Archive.

Everything's fine. It only runs while I use the laptop. I don't notice it. When the laptop goes into standby and wakes up again that doesn't seem to have any adverse effects.

I've downloaded and uploaded gigabytes so far. The top of the leader board for this project is half a petabyte.

Now I'm considering a installation where it could run around the clock. I don't want to increase our household's standby energy consumption too much, so I will see how that goes.

Installed and started the ArchiveTeam Warrior. Very smooth experience.

It downloads stuff and puts it into the Internet Archive.

I took the "ArchiveTeam’s Choice" project and it chose public telegram channels. It's not taking a lot of bandwidth or memory or space or computing, as far as I can tell. It might take too much of my time and focus if I continue staring at the dashboard to try and figure out what all that stuff is.
