Pre-Glacier, usenet was part of my backup strategy.
I had ~10 gigabytes of family photos that I archived, encrypted, and generated PAR2 files for. A block account to upload them was $.25/GB.
They were on hundreds of servers at pennies a year (amortized), until I had to resubmit them after ~3-4 years. I tried a test download at the very end and was successfully able to get them all back, which I considered a pretty big success.
Clever, but maybe not the best idea.
I’d be shocked if Reddit doesn’t whack this pretty fast; I’d be mildly surprised if it’s not already getting caught in spam filters.
Reminds me of gmailfs back in the day. Clever, but maybe not the best idea.

They say the best backup is to upload it to an FTP site and let people mirror it ;)
