The Archive's quickly moving into the phase of "what's left to get back up and running" and "what's with this little bug and that little slowness" and with "down" in the rear view mirror. What a tough time! But a lot of people recognize what it was providing and it's nice for people to know.

Time to mirror us some government stuff.

@textfiles Who's mirroring the Archive's stuff? That strikes me as a vital thing to do at this point...

@textfiles @dangillmor uhhh. i seem to recall that there was a fair amount of key government stuff that was expected
to disappear / go offline (and did so) with trump-v1. any ideas re: preemptive mirrors here with round 2?

@textfiles I recall the many “rogue” twitter accounts in early 2017, after public notifications were ceased. With Elon owning twitter now, that avenue of communication is unavailable. It’ll be an opaque operation, without complaint or criticism allowed.

Dreamland!?
