48TB rust in raidz2 reporting in
8TB reporting for duty. 🫡😂
Seriously though. What’s the best help to lend out say 2tb?
Edit:This is a serious question.
I think it was annas archive that has a page for what data they need mirrored the most based on your storage space available. After looking into it.
You can take a look at Interplanetary File System and see what data you want to mirror.
IpFS like ddh says makes the most sense probably. But you can archive a lot of raw text. Try to save what you think the Nazis would burn. I doubt archive.org survives many more years. Leaked archives of american research papers too.
Check again…
That’s “free space”. The 414 represents ~62% of my space (38% used). I’m at just under 700 for usable space. And 2 disks are out of the array at the moment because the backplane went stupid. Turns out that it’s a pain in the ass to open server chassis to replace a backplane when you have to unmount 70 disks. And I’m pretty lazy.
6 x RAIDZ2 | 10 wide | 14.55 TiB
873TiB raw.
960TB raw.
This graph might be better…
The day the Internet Archive was being attacked and sued, was the signal.
They don’t have to participate, but it’s a good article to raise awareness for your non tech oriented friends and family.
This is a massive problem, but at the very least it’s happening in an era of very cheap data storage.
I stopped reading at “literally”, which was early-on.
Lots of people hoard data. The problem is keeping it in a working state. Think about how many people have old towers or laptops in their garage or basement never to look at those downloads or vacation photos again.
