    There have been so many instances since it's been down that I tried to access IA resources and realized they were unavailable. I'm still bitter that of all the targets a hacker could've chose, it was the IA. Couldn't have happened to a better website. I plan on upping my monthly donation as soon as I can.

    I thought Cloudflare was going to provide "Always Online" access to Internet Archive

    It would be better if the Internet Archive was decentralized without a central point of failure, maybe run on something like bittorent.

    Does someone know where i can download MIT OCW videos ?

    As the videos are present on archive.org but it is down and i was unable to find them anywhere else online ?

    Also, yt-dlp is also not working: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/10128

    Example: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/7-016-introductory-biology-fall-...

    This article appears to be referring to just the Wayback Machine.

    The Internet Archive itself is still down.

    Attacking the Internet Archive is like robbing from your own grandmother.

    There are other things still not available, like this!

    “Lisp lore : a guide to programming the Lisp machine”

    https://archive.org/details/lisploreguidetop0000brom

    I discover this reference and boom the Internet Archive book is not available:(

    “Wayback Machine (provisional, read-only) service.

    Other Internet Archive services are temporarily offline.

    Please check our official accounts, including Twitter/X, Bluesky or Mastodon for the latest information.

    I'm really disappointed with the Internet Archive's level of unprofessionalism when it comes to any form of downtime whatsoever (let alone the blog). The monolithic one stop shop "Internet Library" can not even bother to put updates on their downtime page and instead directs their user base to social media platforms.

    Call me a nut, but I feel the IA would work better if it was run by the Library of Congress, but then again that has it's own pitfalls.

    I wonder if it would be possible to identify and prosecute those responsible.

    When the internet archive censors a website is it deleted permanently or just not publicly available?
