Here's another one: "some of our old tweets were wrong so we just quietly deleted them lol": https://twitter.com/voxdotcom/status/1242537366620966912
This is necessary on Twitter. It's easy for fake or incorrect news to spread, you can't edit it and updates/self-replies are often hidden.

Sure, but they should also own up to their mistake. They flat out said "It won't be a deadly epidemic".
Not say it's not reasonable, but how do we work around this? Any alternative services that are more "resilient" in this regard?
60 Gbit/s of continuous traffic is a lot. If I'm reading the graphs right, Wikipedia "only" has 13.4 Gbit/s of outbound traffic [1]. Of course still well below the single-digit Tbit/s traffic of large internet exchanges [2] [3], but still unexpectedly large. [1]: adding up the outbound numbers for each datacenter: 1.888 + 8.003 + 810 + 1.958 + 807: https://grafana.wikimedia.org/d/000000605/datacenter-global-... [2]:…
What's the easiest way to seed the most popular content ala torrent?

I'm very worried about its backups and what happens when the next Big One hits SF. As far as I've ever been able to determine from talking to anyone at IA (e.g., Kahle, Scott), they don't really have any sort of backups that could actually be restored from in a disaster situation.
There is http://iabak.archiveteam.org , but it’s not exactly large.

If I'm reading that correctly, it would only cost a bit over 500 bucks a month to host that whole archive on BackBlaze B2. Furthermore it would not be so hard to translate Archive.org items to IPFS objects, if there were an effort to pin a significant number of them to storage and network.
archive.org feels like an irreplaceable treasure, the Wayback Machine alone is a time capsule of our digital history. I donate to them monthly and know a lot of other people do as well, so I don't worry much about their financial stability. I'm more worried about external pressures taking content down. I hope the data is backed up six ways to sunday, and that somewhere there's a plan to make it all accessible if Inte…

The IA is about 50 PB. IABAK stores 100 TB, or 0.2% of it.
You can get an 8TB HDD for $150 right now. That's 6250 drives. That's about $1MM in drives, which doesn't sound that cost-prohibitive. Obviously that's not the whole cost since you need to pay for bandwidth, replication and other infrastructure like the host node, but it sounds like something that could be even hosted by a number of volunteers on r/datahoarder or r/homelab. I also remember reading about Sia on HN, wh…
Azure Archive is $2/TB/month ($1.68 if reserved)
AWS Glacier Deep Archive is $1/TB/month
GCP Cloud Storage Archive is $1.20/TB/month
Of course, there can be i/o and network charges, and different levels of redundancy (but possibly bulk discounts)...but the bare storage costs for for 50 PB per year would be roughly $600k - $3 MM/y.
