    I also want to take a moment to PSA - BE YOUR OWN ARCHIVE.

    You might not have Petabytes, but Terrabytes are relatively affordable. Everything you share, find interesting, download - save a backup copy on deep storage. Don't keep it on your main.

    In this way, every time they try to zap a host - YOU can upload high quality originals to whatever service rises from the ashes.

    Even with YouTube, we see the degradation of old videos, which can be reuploaded to Youtube or another CDN or archive.

    They aren't going to zap us all. A persistsnt, distrubuted network can hedge against these types of raids. Even if one node or person gets nullified, it won't effect the entire collective knowledge.

    We can not jeopardize putting all our knowledge in one basket or site or server location.

    Refresh your deep dives with modern ones everg 10 years or so to keep up with modern tech as drives fail and commuication standards are constantly evolving rendering old tech obsolete.
