  Don’t worry they are going to go after that too, I guarantee it

    archive.is or their mirrors should also be used, as archive.org has proven vulnerable to takedown requests from corporations, wouldn’t surprise me if they could be coerced into removing their data by USA govt request as well.

    It wouldn’t take much; they had multiple breaches and other problems last fall, seemingly due to very avoidable reasons.

      very avoidable reasons.

      They’re understaffed for the amount of work they do. Things are going to slip through the cracks, unfortunately.

  When the internet archive was attacked a few months ago we were like “who would be dumb and mean enough to do that?”. We have new suspects! 🎉

    I literally posted a comment saying “sure is odd that this is happening right before the election. Not saying it means anything, but maybe it’s not a coincidence?” and got downvoted to hell lmao.

  Any idea the size of IA? Could it be packaged in some torrents and distributed to the masses for decentralized archiving? I’m guessing it’s way more than I could store.

    As of five years ago, 70 petabytes: blog.adafruit.com/…/donate-to-the-internet-archiv…

    in 2012 it was 10 petabytes. Now, it’s probably well over 100 petabytes. I think it well beyond the scope of torrents by now.

      That’s a bit more than my home server can handle. I could maybe take some CDC data, but definitely not the full shebang. It would be neat if someone could segment the data so we could save some more critical things.

    It doesn’t help that people put silly things onto the IA. I’ve seen some things like YouTube videos that really didn’t need to be there (they have, objectively, nothing of value enough to warrant taking up space on these servers that could be used for more important materials…).

      If they added download options on different taxonomies, I’d try to grab some things to archive.

    These guys seem cool but they’re not the archive.org from the op article

      It’s a team of volunteers who help scrape and upload things to archive.org.
