archive.org has already been on this almost certainly, if you arent already doing it, you should be putting them on archive btw
Unless you donate money to them, those services that archive.org does will not exist forever.
yup, which is another good reason to keep running your own archive :)
Archive.org may be soon loosing a copyright lawsuit that will put them out of business. Better not rely on one third party for something this important.
well there's only one way to help them with that lawsuit so.
One third party, no. Many third parties, yea
Still need to be careful. I once needed redundancy for simple web service for a hobby project. Set up 3 free websites on different hosting providers. Turns out all 3 were owned by the same company, running on the same servers so my service went down anyway.
that doesn't count as redundancy so uh :)
this is the primary reason people tend to use local archives in a giant p2p network. It's incredibly resilient and highly redundant by nature.
Yeah, point was I did not know that. How many companies on the internet don't rely on AWS? Would you even be able to tell which ones they are?
you could probably figure it out with a bit of google fu. Though you would also still be dependent on potentially 3rd party factors at that point. Like using cloudflare for example. They've been known to break the global internet a few times.
