It is not possible to construct a generator algorithm & its constants which could generate data with more entropy than what it would itself occupy:

i think they better look into training AI for more efficient storage solution of archiving data Hasn’t byte dance developed an algorhytm to store megabytes of images in kilobytes of ai prompts to regenerate the original ? | 20:28:55 |

 bkil | But also, if even just every second household chimed into the effort of distributed storage & crawling for an archiveteam2, we could easily archive the whole public internet multiple times. | 20:30:36 |
| bkil | Something like on IPFS plus some validators | 20:30:48 |

sent an image. I live by this. | 20:31:58 |

I live by this. https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Warrior | 20:37:06 |
| Funar | That's really interesting, actually. | 20:37:54 |

https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Warrior but ok so people are archiving this, but where can i access th earchived stuff? | 20:40:53 |
| bkil | This agility is marvelous, though https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Google_Video | 20:44:52 |

but ok so people are archiving this, but where can i access th earchived stuff? They are linked on the pages I shared | 20:45:05 |
| bkil | They either seed it via Torrent or negotiate with The Internet Archive to upload it there | 20:46:29 |
| bkil | If you have the know-how, feel free to write a crawler for your favorite asset to save and start running it after discussing it on IRC. You can also reseed any Torrent from their that may interest you to make sure it never gets lost. | 20:52:02 |
| Funar | There's a few YouTube channels I archive, like Periscope Films. | 21:00:15 |

IRC servers are sort of decentralized, but they have a hub+spoke network topology. make of every server a room, bam, you got p2p irc | 21:27:20 |
| Funar | In theory, I suppose. lol | 21:28:19 |
| cynic 🏴☠️ | pgp-based login | 21:28:40 |

 scnd | i have spare 200gb ram unused on my machine, what are some good uses for it? | 22:19:55 |

i have spare 200gb ram unused on my machine, what are some good uses for it? vm's | 22:51:09 |
 ifiguero | ARC cache | 23:03:02 |
 mib 🥐 | but yes, vms. if you have some spare compute too, then maybe host some stuff? tor, i2p, anything public-servicey | 23:03:09 |
| mib 🥐 | * but yes, vms. if you have some spare compute too, then maybe host some stuff? tor relays, i2p nodes, anything public-servicey | 23:03:40 |
| ifiguero | maybe you can mount it as volatile storage | 23:07:37 |
| cynic 🏴☠️ | rent it | 23:13:20 |
| cynic 🏴☠️ | for vm's | 23:13:24 |

| Funar | Big RAM Disk. Toss your most valuable files on it and then worry. | 01:01:38 |
| ifiguero | Or a temporary VM. Bet would be gold for fast testing with those disk speeds. | 02:04:38 |
| scnd | thanks for the suggestions | 05:42:25 |
