Going to find Sinatra discography, specifically 78s, to DL just to spite these a*holes. I don't even like Sinatra that much. Thanks, Streisand Effect.

Piratebay seems to have it, probably because of this news.

I'd hate to lose the internet archive.. we need archives of stuff.. getting an old bit of hardware to work can be a nightmare when the manufacturer is gone or has deleted all reference to it . Then you find some kind soul has uploaded just what you need to the archive.

I wish more people knew about IPFS -- a content-addressable, persistent filesystem. It's a peer-to-peer system that can offer durable backups to important info. Of course I'm a hypocrite as I realize I haven't been running my IPFS node lately due to upgrades... off I go to fix that.

I came across IPFS a few times but I don't know where to start. Is hosting a node a good role? Did you follow a guide, maybe a nice docker image we can just run?

I don't currently run it myself -- I have some files in IPFS but haven't spun up the daemon on my own server in a while...

Hmm! I just checked their site and since I last looked into it they've added a nice desktop UI. I'll have to try it out myself again.

Hosting a node isn't like running a Tor exit node or anything -- you don't AFAIK host anything you don't explicitly put in there yourself, so there's no danger of accidentally serving something you wouldn't want to :)
