The Internet Archive needs to be distributed somehow. We can't have a single point of failure like this or we've learned nothing since Alexandria.

I've got several terabytes just laying around that I'd happily devote to ancient copies of web pages.

As of January 2024, archive.org claims to have over 99 Petabytes of data stored.

This is why we need more websites to adopt secure client side scripting.

JavaScript may or may not be it, but the web needs to be reachable/archivable. It should also have attribution, but that’s a tangent.
