    At this point, it seems like a major existential risk for the internet archive to be based in the US.

    Make sure you donate to the Archive and not Change.org . It’s easy to click the link, sign the petition and then donate to the wrong organisation. Change.org is kind of scummy like that.

      How do I go about this? I’ve got 30TB available, 24/7 uptime. It’s not much but it might help.

          Thanks I’ll look into it.

          I already have a full backup of the entire English Wikipedia using Kiwix. It’s surprisingly small. Around 100GB.

        In case you haven’t looked into it yourself yet…

        ArchiveTeam are independent from IA, but their stuff mostly does end up uploaded into the Wayback Machine. Storage space (like yours) isn’t usually what they are looking for, but rather the internet bandwidth and “virgin” IP address of aforementioned “warriors” running their code to scrape different websites, and then uploading the results to AT’s servers, where they are collected and eventually uploaded again to IA.
