#2At this point, we need a service that "offers" an 8-bay (with 12TB? 14TB? drives) full with the whole ~80TB Anna's Archive. It's essentially all of human knowledge and to be frank it belongs to no one - rather...everyone.
People can store this at their house, keep it offline. Just to have these seeds of knowledge everywhere.
...I suppose LLM's trained on this data, essentially their model weights and tokenization are a much more efficient way of storing and condensing this 80TB archive?

#3I feel obligated to say my usual "IP is at this point doing more harm than good" spiel here but don't have the time budget to argue it with people today

#4"Whether we’re supporting advancements on the leading edge of science or helping children build a strong learning foundation, shared knowledge is the common thread". (source: https://www.oclc.org/en/about.html)
Well, now it's shared on a torrent, but I guess for them that was "over shared" lol.
Also, they are a library but spent 5 million on cyber defense... seriously??

The problem with the later is reliability, or rather it's efficient but unreliable. I'd rather overdo my offline storage and figure out some way to script/code my way into searching it in a convenient way.

It's good that you still said it!

#7What is the deal with this Njalla hosting service? Is it really so hard to take sites from there down?

#8Mixed feelings about the case.
Sharing is the best thing that can happen to knowledge. It is great that gatekeepers lose money over this.
However, the blame of the loss might burden oclc, which might have been doing a positive job.

What is OCLCs added value? They didn't create the data

#10What a ridiculous claim. They call computer hardware and salaries damage.
I want a competent judge to make sure that these are not damages and I wish that Anna’s Archive continues to operate in sensible jurisdiction for the foreseeable future.
If I had the means I would donate to them.
