Inside Out Internet Archive ((full)) -
The Internet Archive has begun encouraging the use of low-cost, portable hardware—like the box or repurposed Raspberry Pis. These small, brick-sized devices can hold terabytes of data.
For decades, the Internet Archive has operated on a traditional, centralized model.
