irc, it's already backed up to multiple other countries. I assume this isn't some crazy idea, and they've considered this themselves.
Donate to help their defense, or donate to help them move their infrastructure. I think they need money more than they need big brain ideas.
They need to operate out of a different country that respects human knowledge even at the expense of corporations' profits. What exactly that country is, I have no clue.
But yeah. In the short term, moving out of a fascist country to basically anywhere else is a good idea for them.
None, lol. But there are some who don't give a shit about copyright because it benefits them
thank you so much, you're doing god's work
No No. It's man's work. Responsibility must not be shifted
lol i know it was just a saying
Guys PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, download it all. The only way to preserve information is to copy it until 1 survives
I am just a poor fucking Iranian with shitass internet and no money to buy a NAS but I'll try to hawk some part of it as much as I can
Is there a coordinated way to mirror it, like Anna's Archive is doing with their torrents? I'd be happy to pitch in a few terrabytes
If you have the chance, do Anna's first. Books and scientific journals are more important than 78 rpm records.
I got about 10TB of Anna's permanently seeding o7
10 TB? Is that not multiple hard-drives? Can you access the text-files while you host/serve them? Or are they compressed as zip files?
I got a NAS with 24GB, that's spread around three harddrives, yes. The files are a binary container format, it's described here. So I could unpack them, but I have no reason to, really. Much easier to get the individual books I want. Each torrent is usually about 250GB, but some of the older ones are much larger or smaller
I mean, the american idiotic narrative of outraise, outspend, outcapitalist can get bent. when you're faced with such an immense force of vast resources, you don't raise a similar sized force and roll the dice on the outcome - you engage in asymetric warfare.
disperse all that shit in P2P networks with multiple redundancies with no single point of failure. who are they gonna sue, the i2p stack or whatever? fuck those fuckers.
I'd finance something like that with my meager resources, instead of filling some coffers to finance lawyers and whatnot.
willing to bet that the ia does a million more for artists than the record labels ever did
The internet archive likes being vulnerable so it can get donations. If it was serious about archival, it would all be P2P backed up.
it would all be P2P backed up
It literally is. https://help.archive.org/help/archive-bittorrents/
It literally isn't
