IPFS is the way to go IMO, it’s so perfect for archival that it pains me that it’s still pretty unknown
the fact that you don’t need any sort of central organization for everyone to help seed data is amazing, no more duplicate torrents splitting seeders, so long as you have identical data the network just figures it out.
If you have the hash for a piece of data you can just set a computer to watch for someone to start seeding it, even if the last time anyone saw the data was decades ago and a dude just found a CD in their recently passed dad’s basement, if that dude seeds it overnight and then their computer explodes, you’ve now downloaded it and it’ll remain available. It’s so fucking good.
IPFS, GnuNet?
