And don't forget the thousands of storage enclosures, hundreds of racks, servers, networking equipment, and miscellaneous stuff that isn't coming to mind right now, ṫhat you'll need to make coherent storage out of them. Oh, and you'll need a power plant delivering, ballpark, around 20-40 MW, and of course a massive datacenter somewhere to hold it all. I'm not sure this is all that low cost anymore... | |
| Oct 18, 2020 at 19:52 | comment | added | Lawnmower Man | @Kyyshak How is that going to work, exactly? Is the crawler going to log into Instagram as every moonie so it knows which feeds to crawl? After a few thousand hits in a few seconds, the IG servers are gonna either block your IP or put you on a trickle stream. What happens when you get new minions? Does the crawler have to snoop on all IG connections to see which accounts to add to its crawl? Easy in theory, pretty messy in practice. | |

| Oct 18, 2020 at 10:56 | comment | added | Kyyshak | @LawnmowerMan If the OP cares about being up-to-date on Instagram, then they can just set that website to have its own dedicated web-crawler. It wouldn't be hard to have an Earth-Side system that just refreshes your newsfeed and pushes up the changes either | |

| Oct 18, 2020 at 4:44 | comment | added | Lawnmower Man | The majority of interesting content is not static. You can't cache all of it because you simply don't know about all if at any given time (think: people are adding new Instagram, LinkedIn, FB accounts, listing eBay items, etc. all the time). | |
