Nothing is wrong with archive.ph , but it's good to have a backup in case it goes down, or if it starts failing for some reason.

 

Now that 12ft.io is down, are there any good alternatives to archive.ph for viewing paywalled articles?

This panel references the book titled The Incredible Journey which was required reading when I was growing up.

Not sure whether that's still true these days.

I doubt it, because of the unrealistic, anthropomorphic portrayal of animal behavior and motivation.

The farmer saw the art, and held an intervention with a cow psychologist before the cow did something really bad.

Every Google account comes with 15GB of free storage.

Make as many Google accounts as you need.

Store files in Google Drive up to the limit for each account, then add links to the other GDrive archives.

Organize the files as needed.

Maybe make a free web page in Wix, Wordpress, or whatever with links to the files easy to search and find.

Pass the userid and passwords to the GDrive and webpages to whomever wants to be your successor.

You will be dependent on the generosity of Google, Wix, Wordpress or whatever to not cleanup the webpages and files due to inactivity.

So keep a backup. Torrents can be messy because they can be broken if there are no seeders.

If the content is static, then I'd recommend some older P2P filesharing like eD2K to keep one big zip/rar file backup shared among peers.

How about taking away blame on either motorists and pedestrians, and putting it all down to risk:

The more cars and the more pedestrians that you put together in an urban area, the more pedestrian car accidents are just bound to happen.

Reduce either of those numbers, and the number of pedestrian car accidents goes down.

Among other problems that denser housing and better public transit would solve...

More policies to harass the near-homeless to make them move to out of the city.

We have RV encampments and sidewalk encampments because there isn't enough affordable housing.
