Hi @ll, a friend of mine is a scientist and has written many papers. Each of these papers has a lot of underlying video data (which show each experiment in detail). For example, one paper is easily 200 GB of video data. Now, my friend is looking for a free public archive to make this data publicly available, also for archiving purposes. The best recommendations he has received was to upload everything to Youtube, but I said - don’t. I would like to recommend him a PeerTube instance for that but I have no clue which instance would agree to that much video data for archiving purposes. Might you have an idea? Peace out, T
Sounds like a lot of data. I know of videos.trom.tf “A trade-free video hosting platform for science/technology/nature videos in the English language. You do not have to trade your currency, data, attention, freedom or anything else, in order to use it.”
They ‘host’ a huge collection of science documentaries and other ‘enduser’ level videos, but may not be interested in research level storage if it’s terabyte upon terabyte ? He could ask them, and perhaps get a suggestions for other science hosters that have a larger backend ? Maybe they are seeking out each other in a network… Worth trying I think…
