There have been so many instances since it's been down that I tried to access IA resources and realized they were unavailable. I'm still bitter that of all the targets a hacker could've chose, it was the IA. Couldn't have happened to a better website. I plan on upping my monthly donation as soon as I can.
I thought Cloudflare was going to provide "Always Online" access to Internet Archive<p><a href="https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflares-always-online-and-the-internet-archive-team-up-to-fight-origin-errors/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflares-always-online-and-th...</a>
Does someone know where i can download MIT OCW videos ?<p>As the videos are present on archive.org but it is down and i was unable to find them anywhere else online ?<p>Also, yt-dlp is also not working: <a href="https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/10128">https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/10128</a><p>Example: <a href="https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/7-016-introductory-biology-fall-2018/download/" rel="nofollow">https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/7-016-introductory-biology-fall-...</a>
There are other things still not available, like this!<p>“Lisp lore : a guide to programming the Lisp machine”<p><a href="https://archive.org/details/lisploreguidetop0000brom" rel="nofollow">https://archive.org/details/lisploreguidetop0000brom</a><p>I discover this reference and boom the Internet Archive book is not available:(<p>“Wayback Machine (provisional, read-only) service.<p>Other Internet Archive services are temporarily offline.<p>Please check our official accounts, including Twitter/X, Bluesky or Mastodon for the latest information.<p>We apologize for the inconvenience.”
I'm really disappointed with the Internet Archive's level of unprofessionalism when it comes to any form of downtime whatsoever (let alone the blog). The monolithic one stop shop "Internet Library" can not even bother to put updates on their downtime page and instead directs their user base to social media platforms.<p>Call me a nut, but I feel the IA would work better if it was run by the Library of Congress, but then again that has it's own pitfalls.
