I am announcing a new and unrelated project: https://foreverbucket.com/
the character encoding issues on the front page do not inspire much trust in the ability to preserve data
how can this last forever? doesn't a torrent tracker or emule sharing cost lower?
They don't guarantee any longevity. Once people stop seeding the file it's "gone".
Well, they might still have it on a disk. Or they might have not. Zero guarantees.
So, where do I buy shares? :upside_down_face:
I do plan on adding a torrent file for each snapshot with the site used as an http seed. That should help lower the bandwidth costs.
I do still need to add things. I'm planning on doing a fairly nice refund policy and a 10 to 1 storage durability guarantee.
@Rotonen that is what I get for announcing things while tired.
lack of routine in bytewise thinking, i say :P
yeah, the problem was I copied it from a document that was doing smart quotes. I often don't encounter these problems because I usually don't stray out of lower-ascii.
sigh. Apparently people impersonate me here as well.
