IPFS backups of videos

[tonyhb]

Wondering if we should back up videos on IPFS for redundant storage and a little safer peace of mind, given where things are at.

Let me know, and maybe we can work on a CI system that uses youtube-dl to auto-push to IPFS and generate a PR with the updated links.

I would be interested in this - I have plenty of storage space and would happily contribute many GBs to storing this information in case it gets deleted from wherever it's hosted now (I've seen a bunch of videos be removed from Twitter already). With that said, I am no expert in automating this kind of thing. Please let me know how I can helpful here - will try to figure it out in the mean time.

I'd like to contribute to a distributed backup system. OrbitDB looks like a nice IPFS wrapper.

I'll spin up an "IPFS Follow Cluster" for this, so interested parties can mirror the data. If you're interested in reading about this look at https://cluster.ipfs.io/documentation/collaborative/

preliminary ipfs cluster anyone can join to mirror data:
