hello everyone as some of you might have noticed the internet archive is down and as less of you might’ve noticed archive.org had this popup appear not too long before
so first off HIBP is short for have i been pwned. a website that shows data breaches you have been in and a website my email is now apart of due to the fact i had an archive.org account
next off THIS IS BAD. the internet archive is more than the funny site to see old nintendo or old google the internet archve is the only way to see the history of the internet the internet archive is old research papers and other… old stuff. older versions of the software you use and other old stuff this is an understatement with PETABYTES of data (1 petabye is 1000000 gigabytes or 200000 dvds! OR 333333333 floppy disks! please dont check my math) the internet archive is the most intensive archive thats freely accessible emphasis on FREE being a non profit sure does help the internet archive however it doesnt mean that its still not alot of money to operate
theres alot to say about the fact this was able to happen in the first place you cant run off good will forever “because as long as theres 2 people on the planet someones gonna want someone dead”
the point is the internet archive is VERY important. so do what you can to help (which isnt much atm)
also im gonna be so fr these hackers might get killed for this like man have a good day see yall in hell
