    I didn’t realise they do tours every Friday at 1pm. I’ll have to visit some time!

    I really hope the lawsuits don’t kill the Internet Archive. It’s an important resource.

    The truth is stored on their harddisks. But the truth may become very illegal very soon.

    They better move the whole thing out of Usa now.

      I love the IA but they need to be infinitely more decentralized like yesterday

        And funded by who?

        It’s nice to say that it should be decentralized, but who is funding the development of that? Are you donating to IA?

      Well, not to Europe. They’ve always been illegal here. I don’t know where they could even go.

        They’re illegal in Europe? Could you elaborate a bit on that?

    The Internet archive is like the digital equivalent of the Svelbard Global seed vault.

    Is there a way we can help? E.g torrent seeding of the content?

      The ArchiveTeam Warrior is a virtual archiving appliance. You can run it to help with the ArchiveTeam archiving efforts. It will download sites and upload them to our archive — and it’s really easy to do!

      The warrior is a virtual machine, so there is no risk to your computer. The warrior will only use your bandwidth and some of your disk space.

      The warrior runs on Windows, OS X and Linux. You’ll need VirtualBox (recommended), VMware or a similar program to run the virtual machine.

        They push the VM images, but there’s a Docker container available too.

        I wonder if I can run a resource-constrained instance of this on esxi… something to look into this weekend, thank you.

        That’s the whole reason it’s 100TB uploaded…

    The current American regime is a good reason for them to not only move to whatever the data storage equivalent of a tax haven is, but also move fully to Tor/I2P to cover their tracks against any enemy powers.
