So I got ipfs running tonight. For those unfamiliar, it’s a distributed file system but isn’t really searchable. The point is that your website, service, or content is spread out so it “can’t” disappear. If you want to self hosted this, details are at https://docs.ipfs.tech/ . I installed kubo from the *.deb file and went straight to the webgui.
I originally wanted to help serve some government sites that are known to be ddos but couldn’t find the CID.
So I archives and posted the next best thing: phrack.org
So if you want to try it out and help save a site, you should be able to use this CID (I think)

For those that know more than me:
- Is there any risk to posting the CID like I did? Like can someone change my add to include malware?
- How does publishing to ipns make it easier for people to find?
- Is the only real option posting the CID or making dnslink connections to http?
