I would absolutely watch a stream of that.

I thought this was going to be a stream showing what their web crawler was doing (showing the sites/pages it’s archiving, etc), which would’ve been really cool to me… But getting to see an inside view of the Internet Archive doing any of their preservation work is also cool, of course :)

There may be lots of log files, each logging the current page being archived. But looking at those logs scroll down isn’t really that thrilling.
Unless they made the effort of parsing those logs and building a frontend for the sake of data is beautiful.
