We are working on it & will post updates in comments.

Yeah, get your stolen archives back and running ASAP, Tides funded scumbags. @internetarchive   @internetarchive any reason why you all are being attacked? Like what's the point to ddos attack you all?  @internetarchive is back up! this is a back-and-forth with attackers. Sees weekends and holidays are popular. we made adjustments, but we will see. at least Happy Memorial Day!   @internetarchive All these basement dwelling nerds could use their time and skill productively and hack the chinese government, but noo they have to attack the good guys :blobcatfacepalm:  @internetarchive bruh why would someone ddos archive.org? Why do people have to be such trash?  @internetarchive Can you afford DDOS protection from your hosting service? OVH provides this for free with every vps.   3hrs ago :: up again.   @internetarchive Hey – I just wanna share how admirable Internet Archive is, and send good energies to the ones in the war room. The project you build and maintain is absolutely awesome! Thank you for such great work. Go beat these bastards! @internetarchive you're legit one of the only good websites left fuck. People are fucking with archive yet not algo slop websites that deserve it  @internetarchive Thank you for everything you do. Sorry you have to deal with this BS. @internetarchive can't wait to find out what discord flame war between preteens led to this @internetarchive Someone wants to erase history. And Trump’s not smart enough to think of this, so I’d guess it’s one of (1) Putin; or (2) Stephen Harper. But I repeat myself. #fascism #cdnpoli #Russia Imagine how much of a chicken-shit you'd have to be to DDoS the @internetarchive out of all the websites out there. That said, I hope they recover soon… @internetarchive feels kinda wild that I got to experience a ddos attack before seeing the announcement.  I noticed that Worgle (a 6-letter derivative of the Wordle game) is coincidentally also unavailable. It's usually at http://bronze-age.com/worgle/ . Could the attack be upstream at a common parent?   @internetarchive This is sad. I love IA. We use it frequently for homeschooling. I hope you’re able to fix it soon. This is a bit late and may get lost in the comments, but.. The U.S. presidential elections are fast approaching. I remember internetarchive's valiant preservation work in 2017-18, in the face of the new Trump administration's work to erase U.S. government data. Nothing would surprise in the dirty tricks department of Trump & friends' efforts this year. (And DeJoy's still in charge of the U.S. Mail! Why?!) |
@internetarchive no wonder why I can't see cover arts on #MusicBrainz :<
