I have a text-only archive of the Internet since 1992. 52TB raw including edits. 22TB without. Crawlers have indexed 82 search engines since AltaVista. (whatever)

I'm going to start seeding this tomorrow. Encryption key below.

Edit: Interesting. The system I made this post on is now experiencing an extremely high level of probing for security vulnerabilities.

Telling the glow in the darks you've got all of their clearweb fuckery over the last 27 years.

Interesting choice for your health friendo.

This makes Virge look very glow in the dark himself. Why and how would someone have such an archive covering 27 years? This isn't the sort of thing a normal everyday Joe would do for fun. Seems quite suspicious.

I dunno, if I had the know how and the money to spend to do so, it seems like a very conscientious thing to do for human kind, especially after Kaczynski's tech critical manifesto.

If it's just text, you don't need much know-how. And even if you want to save the entire page with javascript, pictures and everything, it's still not that difficult, since there are tools floating around that will do just that. You just need something to crawl the entire Internet, something that saves everything and a harddrive big enough. Once you're done, repeat forever. This may sound complicated, but as there are tools that do exactly this it's basically three lines of code.
