Show HN: Internet Archive File Browser

4 pointsby drzel3 days ago
I currently upload and store match demos for my open source game project FortressOne on AWS S3. Around 180GB currently, and rising. My plan was to stick these on archive.org for posterity, and also to save some money.<p>The resultant <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.org&#x2F;download&#x2F;fortressone-demos" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.org&#x2F;download&#x2F;fortressone-demos</a> file browser left a bit to be desired. In particular I wasn&#x27;t able to sort the files in reverse chronological order.<p>I wanted a better UI so vibe coded Internet Archive File Browser. It&#x27;s a single HTML file with embedded JavaScript running on GitHub pages. Works for my purposes. Free and open source.<p>If you are an open source project and storing files that could reasonably be hosted for free on The Internet Archive this might be useful.<p>Enjoy.

Heads up, the Internet Archive will potentially dark your items and ban your account if they feel these uploads are not of cultural significance (it costs them $2&#x2F;GB to store uploaded data). They do this currently for folks who try to dump Twitch content into the storage system.<p>Consider Wasabi or Backblaze B2 for reduced storage costs vs S3. They might also issue you a Vault [1] account if you&#x27;re willing to pay to store these objects.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;webservices.archive.org&#x2F;pages&#x2F;vault&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;webservices.archive.org&#x2F;pages&#x2F;vault&#x2F;</a>
