***BUMP ***
In honor of the fantastic, heroic work they are doing, saving websites that are being scrubbed by the Feds from extinction, so all the data on LGBTQIA+ people, People of Color, women… is not being lost to the chainsaw tantrum of the twin mediocre man-children.
====================================================
The San Francisco location of the Internet Archive sits at 300 Funston St., at the site of a former Christian Science church. Rumor has it that they bought it, in part, because the front of the building matched the already-existing logo.
The Internet Archive has a noble mission: “to give everyone access to all knowledge, forever.” This includes the Live Music Archive (LMA), which is a collection of over 250,000 concert recordings of taper-friendly bands in lossless audio formats.
The servers are cooled with ambient air, and the rest of the building is heated with the captured heat emitted by them (it IS San Francisco after all). The Archive, in total, hosts 180 petabytes of data, worldwide, with 15 petabytes residing in this location.
1 petabyte = 1024 terabytes or 1024x1024 gigabytes (or approximately 5.289e+17 bytes).
