@lavaeolus The whole CDC, NIH, etc. web pages with papers often enough with open access. I guess they're on archive.org but there it's not searchable. And archive.org is IIRC on US soil and hence also at risk of censorship.

@lavaeolus where can I hide the climate and the environment for the next 4 years?
Oh, wait. those are already invisible to the wrecking crew.

@lavaeolus how can we help?
Show threadHenrik SchönemannJan 30, 2025

@aburka We need from people in the USA to tell us:
- which URLs, Archives, etc. need safeguarding? - we can only try to save stuff we know about.
- which ones are already saved? - to not keep doing the same work over and over again
- who has capacity to host the files (maybe around 100GB in total) on US-soil?
- anyone with experience regarding torrenting/seeding can ping us - we need their input

@aburka From people outside the USA we need:
- people with capacity to host the files (maybe around 100GB in total)
- people willing to download files via running of scripts

And in general, we need people who could keep an eye on the forum and form:
Forum: https://safeguarding-research.discourse.group/
Form: https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/wL4NNzKWUfZ+GrPV4deTxNgr0MoAvLgOA33eLC2ATUU/

@lavaeolus I definitely have 100GB free if that would help, but I am in the USA

@lavaeolus If this independent effort (yay!) isn't yet coördinated with the more established ArchiveTeam, it might be beneficial to do so if for no other reason than to share resources! https://wiki.archiveteam.org
