One thing internet activists don't tell you about people hosting their own websites is that that website is still linked to a single point of failure: the person who owns it. For example, I've seen various #YouTube mirror sites just... die without prior notice and vanish without a trace. Like, several of these.
A more recent example seems to be frutigeraeroarchive.org since every device I've tried to connect to it on gives a connection timeout. Oh, there goes a bunch of important history, media, and resources on #FrutigerAero because the single person manning the site just... vanished or forgot/couldn't pay the hosting fee. Fun! Just because a site isn't run by a company doesn't mean its safe or won't vanish without warning.

🚨 Technologists, archivists, and internet historians—this is your call to action! 🚨
As the authoritarian, censorship-happy Trump/Musk regime takes hold, federal government websites are getting wiped, altered, or disappeared entirely. Critical public records, scientific research, and historical data are at risk. We can’t let that happen.
🔹 Take action now: Use #ArchiveTeam’s tool to help preserve government websites before they vanish.
💾 How you can help:
1️⃣ Set up the Archive Team’s docker-compose tool.
2️⃣ Start archiving key sites you care about.
3️⃣ Share this message with other technologists.The internet remembers only if we make it remember. Let’s keep public data public. 🛡️📜 #ArchivingMatters #InternetPreservation #SaveGovData
