The entire archive of all CDC datasets uploaded before January 28th, 2025 has been backed up on Internet Archive.
Incredible work everyone. Science will never be silenced!
CDC datasets uploaded before January 28th, 2025 : Centers for Disease Control and Prevention : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
An archive of all CDC datasets uploaded to https://data.cdc.gov/browse before January 28th, 2025. Excludes corrupt datasets and data not publicly accessible.
Andrei Kucharavy@luckytran if there is anything in them that might make somebody interested in falsifying them signing them makes a world of sense.

@luckytran link?
MMMelton@luckytran people paid good money for that science. We can't just throw it away
BroGle@mmmelton @luckytran if people taxes contributed to the scientific research and findings then the information belongs to us, yes? If thatβs the case isnβt it illegal to delete all the pages?
jesterchen42@luckytran Well... is the Archive US-based? If so, let's hopefor r/datahoarder.
Oh, wait. π
Donald HobernI asked this yesterday and still have no reply:
How exposed is the #InternetArchive to government attack in the US? How much is backed up elsewhere?
Is it still best to contribute financially to archive.org? Or are there other bodies outside the US that need funds to back it up and that may be lower risk?
Any information welcome.
The Lack ThereofThey're San Francisco based, so they at least have some protection from being based in a blue state, and their primary data centers are in the bay area. But they have backups in the Netherlands and in Egypt.
At one point, the Egyptian backup was a full mirror. I don't know if it still is. I think donating to them directly is probably best, they'll redirect it if it can be more useful elsewhere.
Thanks - I'd forgotten the Alexandria connection. Good to know there is also a backup in NL.
Ertain@luckytran That's a win in my book.
Polly Kraisus@luckytran Trump and friends being so fiercely anti-reality, anti-science and anti-accountability, I wonder what they are going to try against Internet Archive. The IA is based in the US, and I just expect the government to do everything they can to shut it down.
Does the IA replicate their data in other jurisdiction?

Pamela Barroway β Biz Editor@luckytran Thank goodness. Thanks for sharing, I just bookmarked this.
The Peter Pan of Nerderyβ’@luckytran @jlw_the_jobber Now all we need is to back up the Internet Archive.
Stephan Lichtenauer | Χ Χ Χ‘ΧͺΧ@luckytran And now it is high time to move the Internet Archive out of US jurisdiction while they still can, right?
Fishtiks@luckytran
If people listened to the CDC, they would never use public pools again. Tell me they listen.

@luckytran Make local copies before they come after the Internet Archive. For democracy!
xs4me2Simply excellent. Seems like burning book is not so efficient anymoreβ¦
LukefromDC@luckytran Let's hope Musk (should I call him stench?) doesn't find a way to kill archive.org
Alx π@luckytran @internetarchive thank you!
Frej π©π°If y'all seeding made sure to use the torrent file named "full-20250128-cdc-datasets-USETHIS.torrent" from the dataset https://archive.org/download/20250128-cdc-datasets instead of IA's auto-generated one. The auto-gen one is missing files and a bit buggy.

LisPi@impossibleibex @luckytran @ireneista Eh, not bad. Small-enough to be relatively trivial to torrent.
Irenes (many)@impossibleibex @lispi314 @luckytran oh that's not bad at all. let us take a moment to encourage anyone with a spare hundred gigs to seed a copy
Simon Brooke@luckytran I do most sincerely hope that the @internetarchive is making a back-up which is not on American soil and is out of reach of American goons.
It might be wise to air-gap it, at least for a while.
naught101@luckytran is it a problem that it appears to be uploaded by a CDC account? Like, is it possible that will get removed?
Aktionsb. neue soziale MedienThanks to everyone, who contributed to that.
Ramin HonaryThe entire archive of all CDC datasets uploaded before January 28th, 2025 has been backed up on Internet Archive.
@luckytran I got my copy.
Patrick H. Lauke@luckytran now expect a new concerted effort from the new fash US govt to take down/block internet archive...
ck π¨βπ»@luckytran you might be interested in this @firefoxx66
Jon Tringham@luckytran @briankrebs can we backup the Internet Archive on storage outside the US? Serious question.
It's Soooo 4D@luckytran Well Done! Bravo !
ManVsXerox: Resistful Dingus@luckytran Is there a way to update data here? For anyone say working for the #CDC #NIH to, idk post the data for shits and giggles?
Simon ZerafaProbably needs to be in multiple places lest they come after Internet Archive π«€
David Fleetwood - RG Admin@luckytran We need mirrors of this outside the USA. Very concerned about the IA's vulnerability due to their location.
Mx. Luna Corbden πΈNow who's gonna archive internet archive?
As the old saying goes: Who will backup the backups?
(I know they're gunning to destroy the last free info repositories and it has me worried.)
Ruby Tails > FWA@luckytran That's great! Would also highly recommend having a local backup as well, just in case something happens to archive.org
Common Sparrow@luckytran Internet Archive are heroes!
Rai Aren πβ¨ππΊπ¦@luckytran Excellent! π π
It's madness that this is happening π£

Angela Scholder@luckytran But, where is The Internet Archive located, physically as well as a juridical entity....?
Well....?
