  • Finally set up proper backups for the archives and VPS/servers. Every 24 hours, servers will shut down at 03:45am EST for approximately 15 minutes to allow automatic backups to occur.
  • Content lists will now be generated and updated on the live site daily.
  • I also figured out a way to manually (not automatic yet unfortunately) sort the list files and search for duplicates in a few clicks. This will allow me to free up space being wasted on dupes. 89 duplicate movies were removed, bringing our total to 4550.
  • Set up a 404 page. Now that scandir isn't being utilized to display content, I now no longer have to add empty folders to each drive to avoid error message spam on the page. This allows me to remove a lot of backend clutter, and simply display an "empty folder" message if the directory does not exist. Also, since I no longer need to keep adding folders, I can finally start working towards finalizing the drives and making them read-only. Once this happens, I can look at alternate ways (such as torrents) to distribute the full archives to ensure longterm survival.

  • I've spent the last couple days cleaning up the home directory and migrating most of the website over to the VPS
  • There are still a few kinks to work out, but the migration went pretty smooth.
  • Now, the website will be served off the VPS and even if my local connection goes out, it will still remain running. All of the site content is still hosted on local drives, so if the connection goes out the content will be inaccessible.
  • The libertyarchives.org domain now points to my local server which hosts the drives, and the libertyarchives.info domain is the main domain.
  • There should be some noticeable improvements to page load times, but content load times will be unaffected.

    News 09.06.18

  • Over the past couple months, I've been working on making it so all content in each section can be found easily, across all the drives without causing long load times, browser crashes in directories with a large amount of files, or scaling issues in the future.
  • Every page now has a [LIST] button. This button will open a text file (either in browser, or download depending on how your browser is configured) that lists every file in a section, and it's drive location. Once you know your file's drive location, select the corresponding number on the page. This new process will allow guests to browse the site content while still being restricted access to the actual files, and also allows browsing while the drives are offline.
  • These list files will be updated daily, which allows us to move files around amongst drives and users don't lose track of where their file is located.

    News 07.02.18

  • Progress on the backend has been sorta slow, but we continue to keep adding content daily.
  • We now have a total of 20TB for our archives, not including space for server files and backups.
  • We continue to host the thriving Odyssey Online Classic community via VPS
  • The Homesteading for Liberty project continues as well, and we keep making progress towards goals
  • Viewing content on this website requires registration, but unregistered guests can browse sections but not content.
  • Registration requires a secret code (includes instructions to obtain code). This has been very effective for preventing automated bot registrations. Users are free to share the code with their human friends, but it may change in the future as bots figure it out.

    News 03.22.18

  • Over the past few months, we have been trying to get the file structure right so that we can provde a userfriendly experience, as well as keep everything organized as we scale up. I believe we have found the balance now, and we have updated the whole site to a new format. We are utilizing the PHP directory outputs as well as Apache's directory listings to provde the cleanest and best looking experience.
  • As of now, the entire site is functioning as normal, and registration is no longer necessary to view content
  • Purchased a new domain libertyarchives.space. Plans are to migrate the main webserver to a VPS and host the content through the new domain, so when downtime occurs at least a page is served rather than dead link.

    News 12.12.17

  • Been a long time since updates have been done here. The site is still running well, we have a machine dedicated to reading drives with SATA (no more USB docks!) and converting content. We have completely redone the way content is listed in pages, as well as split everything into 1TB partitions to make backups easier. Once all the pages are updated to reflect the file structure changes, all in all it should make the site function more stable, and make it more scalable in the future as we add more content. We are also opening pages to the public. The risks are understood, but a lot of work goes into this site and it needs to be appreciated and supported as such. This can only happen if new people are able to see what it has to offer and why it is superior.
  • Odyssey Online Classic server is still doing well and bringing in funding for the project. Again, thank you to everybody for the continued support.

    News 09.25.17

  • Decided to go ahead and implement the Javascript cryptocurrency miner sitewide. By default, it will only use 20% of 1 thread. This should generate a tiny bit of revenue from each user, but not actually hinder your device to do so. Let us know if everything functions as normal, or if you have any issues with the site after this implementation.

    News 09.24.17

  • We have configured a Javascript cryptocurrency (specifically at this time, Monero) miner. For now, this will only run on the specified page but we are considering implementing this sitewide in the future, if it is a success. We feel this is the best way to monetize our projects and to fund everything as a grassroots effort. If you are opposed, feel free to let us know

  • I would like to announce a new project we are working on, a new website called "Now You Know Liberty". The goal for this new site is to basically serve as a hub/directory for all of the best liberty content on the internet. The front page features some of the best and most effective videos that introduce some of the ideas of of liberty to people who are new to it. The sidebar will feature various liberty sites, channels, podcasts, pages and books. We are renting a cloud hosted server in an effort to protect Liberty Archives, and to keep up with the influx of traffic we hope to receive. Also since we are using an external host with no pirated content, we can start placing ads to bring in revenue. I will continue to post about the status of the project here, but for now you can check it out via the new domain www.nowyouknowliberty.com
