The day that the internet archive was down for a few hours – time to sponsor them.
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/12/17
In an era where we’ve become dependent on 24/7 communications and availability of the internet, but even more so on archives of information that appeared, became fake and then denied, the Internet Archive (including the WayBack machine) was down for a few hours because of a PGE power outage in San Francisco.
(Posted late because, well the WordPress.com “missed schedule” bug is back)
So this is a reminder to sponsor the Internet Acrhive. Because we can.

Power has been restored to the affected facility; we're in the process of rebooting systems and assessing their status.

Important science question: how much of what you have (including the Wayback Machine) is nowhere else on the internet? When the Archive goes down, what percentage of the Internet's unique contents goes down with it?
