>Keep in mind, this was all done to persevere space, as I was paranoid of harddrive crashes, limited resources and life drama my plan was to see how small I could keep the archive. Like a 32 GB or 64 GB flashdrive that would have a broad section of everything.
Oh I didn't thought of it this way This wasn't mentioned right? I was thinking of something a bit like ThePonyArchive but more compact, decentralized (and in smaller scale). But the first priority is probably just automating everything, thinking big can come later (if it comes).
>Not sure what resources you are working with
This made me do some counting and I have about 5TB of active storage (active as it is somewhat reliable and I can get it online). And about 1.3TB in passive storage (passive as they are ~20 years old HDDs sitting on a shelf - would be used only for backups of backups).
>perhaps it would be a good idea to archive just webm or mp4 and only have higher tier back ups if the video is important?
I'll be probably keeping everything for now. But I don't think it's a bad idea to also maintain slimmer, more compact version.

>custom browser based player?
I was thinking more like the exact opposite - native player. It could make it more usable on other platforms and even work as some kind of archive browser? (I will probably make one at least for android). But making the browser one look somewhat decent is higher priority.

>Actually already gotten a lot of those things in my present archives (though a bit haphazard).

This is really good. The info.json contains even more things than I could have think of. If they all have identical names it would make possible conversion much easier, we could also redownload all comments that haven't been disabled yet.
