Internet Archive breached again through stolen access tokens

We need archives built on decentralized storage. Don't get me wrong, I really like and support the work Internet Archive is doing, but preserving history is too important to entrust it solely to singular entities, which means singular points of failure.

I designed a system where you could say "donate this spare 2 TB of my disk space to the Internet Archive" and the IA would push 2 TB of data to you. This system also has the property that it can be reconstructed if the IA (or whatever provider) goes away.

Unfortunately, when I talked to a few archival teams (including the IA) about whether they'd be interested in using it, I either got no response or a negative one.

Because the incentive will be archiving things they believe should be archived, you need the process to begin with what urls do you want to be archiving, then people will be incentivized for archiving the juicy stuff IA is used for and you just throw some stuff they didn't ask to archive in the remit of them storing what they want.
