i'd like to take the time to remind everyone who's concerned about the internet archive that it's never too late to start your own archive. you can get things like 4tb sas drives off of ebay for $30 (yes, I've gotten them in bulk for that price), you can use filesystems such as ZFS to make a very resilient storage solution (seriously, where do you think I get my love of ZFS from? I buy 7+ year old ent hdds off of ebay for dirt cheap and ZFS does a lot to keep that functioning. I have yet to actually lose my zpool). some good starting stuff is using a distribution (of either freebsd with truenas core, or debian based with truenas scale www.truenas.com) of tools that let you facilitate it. I mean once you get further into it you may be like me and go "I want to do ZFS on a baremetal ubuntu install without the overhead of truenas, or the limitations of truenas". we all start somewhere. there exists software like archivebox.io that you can host in a truenas scale container (really it's k3s iirc but there's existing helm charts for you to pick from)
@puppygirlhornypost2 > (really it's k3s iirc but there's existing helm charts for you to pick from) they are getting rid of it next update and replace with Normal docker compose
@jeder wow it's almost as if truenas scale an operating system i have yet to actually see in use outside of hobbyists is way overkill for that use case. glusterfs on top of zfs for scaling ​​
@jeder i hope you can see why i never fucked with truenas and instead rawdogged zfs by installing zfs on ubuntu server. honestly i'm glad for that because i got to learn a lot
@jeder only reason i picked ubuntu was debian back in the day was using dkms which wasn't the best in comparison to kmod. honestly i want to do zfs with freebsd someday because i don't use my storage host for much apart from nfs and zfs
@jeder to be fair freebsd is rebasing to openzfs zfs on linux. there's just so much that was left out in the prior implementations it's nice to see freebsd get some of that back
