BeepBlocking the Internet Archive Won’t Stop AI, But It Will Erase the Web’s Historical Record
9point6I feel like this has been one of my soapbox things for a while now, but
Americans, the Internet Archive and Wikipedia stand as two of the biggest contributions to human knowledge preservation in all of history. To lose either would be a huge backslide for us as a civilization, and it never really seemed like a genuine threat until recent events over there.
I know there’s a lot of other shit going on right now, but you must do what you can to ensure both are able to continue their work.
I still wish someone, somewhere could have backed up Geocities. That was a huge chunk of Internet history lost.
Iirc there’s a torrent of it out there, check tpb. I know I grabbed it a while back, iirc it was like 50gb
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
I’ll go do that. Thank you.
SpookyBogMonsterA decent amount of Geocities sites are backed up on the Wayback machine and/or restored via other projects.
Protoweb is really cool, if you wanna browse the internet like its the late 90s again
Awesome. Thank you for the tips!
