What’s happening to archive.org? Is it the end of an era? Or, a sign that someone should put up an archive of Web Archive somewhere?

It’s under attack.
as many people has are able should have archives of the web archive.
It’s such a huge undertaking, though, that instead for over a decade now we’ve just been losing data by the truckload daily
@[email protected] Yep, it’s challenging and sad. Even Wikipedia use it as a resource and backup of sources.
And there are also those using it to archive copyright infringement, or as a record of a work’s license at the time (specially since some loves to change the license when they originally released it in Creative Commons or the Public Domain).
It’s crazy though that there was no service as close to the features archive.org has. The only one I’m aware of available publicly is archive.ph / archive.md but they don’t offer the archiving of links found, and it’s pretty much very static only (TiddlyWiki sites don’t work correctly).
