8TB reporting for duty. ๐Ÿซก๐Ÿ˜‚

Seriously though. What's the best help to lend out say 2tb?

Edit:This is a serious question.

I think it was annas archive that has a page for what data they need mirrored the most based on your storage space available. After looking into it.

IpFS like ddh says makes the most sense probably. But you can archive a lot of raw text. Try to save what you think the Nazis would burn. I doubt archive.org survives many more years. Leaked archives of american research papers too.

You can take a look at Interplanetary File System and see what data you want to mirror.

A bunch of USB sticks and external drives turned on and checked from time to time with rare files I need.

Walking along I guess. Bringing some tea.
