warning regarding uspol and data archiving
Hey, so uh, please keep in mind that the Internet Archive is located in the US. While they are an independent organization in principle, that sure isn't going to stop a fascist like Trump or Musk, who definitely has physical access to their facilities and the impunity to go with it.
All of which is to say: make sure to also back up the data you're archiving in a place that is *not* in the US or its direct sphere of influence! There is only so much the Internet Archive can do to insulate themselves from fascist actions.

@joepie91 (and if you're actively seeding the torrent you presumably have the torrent itself too)

@joepie91 yeah but that's much easier to distribute widely (you could even just share the magnet links and rely on the DHT, though that's of course not optimal)
