Hmm. Good point. Glad I didn't bother now. It's like a zip bomb that
you already *know* is going to blow up in your face.
How about setting up a spare machine with a minimal Linux distro that
boots to the commandline without starting too much irrelevant crap
(Arch or Void would be my picks), give it a few hundred Gb of swap
space, and leave it to chew on it for a few days?
The important thing is that it's *out there* now, though, so if
anything happens to the official server, everything up to a few weeks
ago is safe. Give it a few years and we'll have smartphones that can
decompress and host it.
("Haha! Look at this post from 2017, where they're worrying about
decompressing an 80Gb zip file! I've sent emails bigger than that!" ...
I don't know whether this is cause for optimism or cold, abject,
terror.)
