As I've been doing things with Sunken Scrolls, I worry more and more about actual archival work for things on the site. A dualie squelchers guide has already disappeared for example and while I respect people's ability to take down their work, it does result in lost resources
I have a personal server with enough storage and could archive this myself. But that creates a dependency on my server remaining functional (plus the % of my storage I'm willing to give up) and me as an individual.
Archiving resources is as precarious as someone changing a link or a video deleted.
This post pisses me off because the apple is clearly visible to the side of the second picture. He's content because he hasn't lost anything. He feigns poverty to manufacture sympathy. Detestable
I do hope to one day do real archival work for the the community in some form, not just organize and link to it.
The presentation of the site going from a Github repo to a full site with its own domain is a big upgrade, but at the end of the day it's still just a link aggregator :/
Part of me is also hesitant about how much control Google alone has over Sunken Scrolls resources (Youtube, Docs, Drive, etc.)
I don't have a solution in mind and backups would require active work, especially for non-static things like documents that would need to be checked for changes.
The site itself is open source and on Gitlab. While I can theoretically back up static images or small files by tracking them in the repo itself, I'm using version control for the website.
Cloud storage is an option, but quite a few 15-30 minute videos add up quick in terms of storage.
