Is stuff online worth saving?

> Backups are for wimps. Real men upload their data to an FTP site and have everyone else mirror it.

— Linus Torvalds

This does still happen. Microsoft may nuke a git repo and someone has to figure out who has the latest version of the entire repo with all the latest commits of every branch.

The vast majority of people aren't privileged enough to have anyone mirror their data.

But how do I get everyone to mirror my gigabytes of encrypted photo backups?

dump it on Wikipedia. afik wiki never removes anything. it just gets buried in an edit history . or Wikimedia image files

just upload them to social media accounts. Afik twitter, facebook, and youtube do not have storage limits . no deletion for inactivity either.

They don't allow uploading large binary blobs either, though, and steganographically storing gigabytes of data with probably terabytes of overhead sounds like a quick way to get banned.

That obviously can't be true, or spammers would be all over it, using Wikimedia as a free image host.

Title it "(current star name) Leaked Nudes.zip" and seed a torrent? Every few years, change the title to keep it current.
