Archive 90% Complete
FYI I have been making an archive of Ovarit and it's about 90% complete, it should be done well before April 27 and I'll post the link to it here
Edit: I have reserved the domain name ovarit-archive.online I'll set it to redirect to ovarit.com until the archive is ready
Edit 2: Several people have messaged me asking for their posts to not be included in the archives for privacy, I will not upload anything online until I figure out a way to handle these requests
Thank you and brava. You are a goddess, a heroine, a lifesaver, a champ.
When you have the chance, please let us know where/when we can make donations to help pay for the costs - or to cover them completely.
I got a good deal on the domain name and storage space, I won't need any donations for at least the first 3 months, also I'm not sure how to set up a page to receive donations but I'll figure it out and post a link later, thank you for the generosity
How large is the archive? How much storage does it need?
It's about 45gb
If you ran a compression archive, like .7z or .xz at medium compression ratio, what would the file size be?
Asking for file sharing purposes. Text files compress really well. (PSA: Never store compressed files as backups.)
Never store compressed files as backups? Why not? Can it corrupt the files?
All files corrupt. Bit rot is real.
The difference is that you can still sometimes play corrupted uncompressed files.
However, to play a compressed file, you have to uncompress it first.
So what happens when a compressed archive gets corrupted?
You can’t uncompress it. You get errors.
What happens when you’ve compressed a whole bunch of files into one archive?
You’ve just lost your whole library
So back to my first example. Yes, maybe that single file is not playable anymore if the corruption was bad enough, but the rest of your library is still intact.
Compression was initially invented to lower the difficulty of transferring large files over a slow speed transfer rate and severe bandwidth limits.
I see! Thanks for sharing! :)
Umm I see... Well I have more than enough available space in my devices and External HDs... :)
LOL I've got 65GB free on my phone right now. :-D
I have about 2 TB available in total... :)
Thank you so much for doing this.
