The Internet Archive lost its appeal in the Hachette case. What a huge, devastating loss for all of us.

Even if The Internet Archive has lost the appeal, there is a petition going to the publishers. It's so sad that a court probed twice that if libraries were to be invented today, they'd be illegal, so let's show our disagreement:

"With Google’s cached results gone, embedded #InternetArchive links in search may be the next best thing.
You can get to the results by clicking the three dots next to a specific link in the results, then click “More about this page” to get to a link to the Wayback Machine page, the post says. Although the change is apparently rolling out today, it often takes some time before Google’s changes show up for everyone."

The Internet Archive ( @internetarchive ) is under attack for a self-named reason that is so nonsensical, many believe it to be a false flag operation. The largest digital and free preservation of most collective human works, especially modern (internet) history, is currently offline, because some skids thought it would be funny.
The group doing this calls themselves “Blackmeta” and claims to be doing it for... Palestine? The video in which they talk about their motivations shows no efforts trying to explain any link between how bringing the web archive down helps Palestine, or brings attention to that struggle at all. They didn't replace the website with some banner, it's just a DDoS... Even if, how about going after literally any other target? While the Internet Archive is awesome, it's still a nonprofit mostly used by a niche. Taking down the website of any Fortune 500 company, or probably most somewhat larger corporations, would make more sense.
As I said, the lack of any connection between the stated goal and what is actually being done lead people to believe that this was a massive troll/false flag. I can't yet decide if it's idiotic or masterfully done. All public messaging is but a parody of itself. It's AI generated slop “cool hacker images” with the most overly dramatic editing I've seen.
If I paid the worst NCIS writer to invent a hacking organization you'd need two people on one keyboard, “a gigabyte of ram”, and a rubix cube to solve inside of your terminal, to defeat, this is what they'd come up with.

The world’s largest #InternetArchive is under siege — & fighting back
There are few organizations dedicated to the gargantuan task of preserving the vast, ever-shifting record of human activity that is the #internet. The largest such record belongs to a #nonprofit based in an old church in San Francisco that operates on a smaller annual budget than the DC Public Library.
It is currently under siege.

In today’s post on @medium, I describe how the @internetarchive and @wikipedia are preserving a record of the changes made by the #Trump administration.

98GiB of CDC datasets have been uploaded to Internet Archive, before they were taken down from CDC's website to comply with Trump's executive order:

This means that the @internetarchive will quickly become a target for the fascists currently running the US government.
Now would be a good time to start thinking how can we help protect it and help out.

I think most SDF members are capable of doing this if they have bandwidth and room.

Today I discovered that a Doctor Strange movie was made in 1978.
It is available from the Internet Archive for streaming or download.
