Funny how bittorrent solved this with a simple distributed hash algorithm...
I guess fuck using what works, amirite?
Pirates are unironically better digital stewards of content and history than media organizations.
I wish there was a good way to store a backup of my media. I recently suffered a terrible hard drive issue. I lost a terabyte of media. Fortunately, the pirate ship has saved me and has me rethinking some of my backup methodologies.
Outside of periodically backing up onto an external hard drive, I haven't been able to find a reasonably priced online backup solution that isn't going to fuck me when I have to pull data out. Egress fees are killer.
Other people are your backups.
Sharing is caring.
