| schestowitz__ | archive.org recently suffered a fire and lost a lot of data. The problem is, we don't have a backup of a backup and I'm not even sure about redundancy. In the course of 20 or 200 years storage device degrade many times over and you need to media-shift a lot throughout -- see how Hollywood loses lots of rare material, rendering the past non-existent when old people (eyewitnesses) die. | Dec 25 21:21 |

| schestowitz__ | archive.org recently suffered a fire and lost a lot of data. The problem is, we don't have a backup of a backup and I'm not even sure about redundancy. In the course of 20 or 200 years storage device degrade many times over and you need to media-shift a lot throughout -- see how Hollywood loses lots of rare material, rendering the past non-existent when old people (eyewitnesses) die. | Dec 25 21:19 |
