Comment on what should one archive in a fascist regime?
BonerMan@ani.social 1 month agoThey really should relocate to Europe.
How, exactly?
They should sure, who’s coughing up the tens of millions of dollars that might cost?
If they don’t have the resources to do it, they can’t.
Distributed filesystems that self hosters can support may be the future for resilient data, but we’re not really there yet in a scalable way.
Get a server in Romania for example, built up the necessary system and then either take the drives on a plane or transmit the data by internet.
The problem isn’t the money, they would pay less in Eastern European countries. The problem is the time it takes to transmit the data.
It would be best to load the entire NAS farm piece by piece into a plane and fly it there.
A Charter Plane and some trucks aren’t that expansive, and when you keep most of the hardware you don’t need to pay for massive amounts of new hardware.
The problem is that its time consuming and that the Archive will be offline for at least half a year. For doing that.
If they wanna do it really smart they keep some smaller servers all around the world and don’t do it from one country alone.
Depebding on the country, Europe has significantly worse copyright law than the US, to the extent that archiving a web page is illegal.
Fun fact:
In Germany you have to pay a special tax for anything that could be used to violate copyright. It ranges from 0.10€ for USB sticks to 90€ for faster printers to 14,000,000€ for opening up a public library all going to a bunch of publisher organizations.
What the fuck are you talking about?
The shit show Germany has is well aware to me but also grants you the right to download whatever you want as long as you don’t distribute it.
And an archive would be doing exactly that: Distributing copyrighted materials.
Moving to Europe is not necessarily a great idea depending on the country they choose. US copyright law is comparatively lenient to some European countries.

We will have to fight for it though. At this rate we will have to vote down chat control yearly for the next century, and Macron and Scholz are not infinitely better than the US dems either.
At least now, they see that immediate rearmament and asserting ourselves as an economic and geopolitic power is a necessity, even if our industry doesn’t feel like it and never wants to change.
