GeneralInternet Archive and the Wayback Machine under attack. Perhaps it's time we find a way to band together and help prevent this? Pin

Seems that the Internet Archive (The Wayback Machine) are undergoing a DDoS attack. The only possible reason I can think of for that is there is some company or gov that has something to hide.

I often find myself going to the Wayback Machine to verify what a big corporate once said.

That sources of history are being attacked is worrying, to say the least. What can we as a group do to protect a verifiable source of truth?

Here's one suggestion: Help them to go distributed.

I'm an old veteran programmer (35 years), and am mostly out of it now, although I still do some DB and embedded stuff, but I'm not up on the recent stuff.

We need people to step up and help protect the history stored by the IA and the WBM, or bad actors will erase it, or prevent access to it. Can you say 'George Orwell' ?

(@ the guy who writes the subtitles to all the headlines to CodeProject news... you rock!)
