And now two of the websites I have an overwhelming reliance on are basically facing the threat of potentially disappearing for good. Now I have another thing to donate to.

What's the second?

The rest of the Internet Archive, you know, the thing that hosts files and public domain things and some software and whatnot.

The first is the Wayback Machine.

Ah. I usually conflate the two under "internet archive".

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

They're technically both owned of the Internet Archive, however one is for browsing old versions of websites, and the other is for general archiving of media.

And both are facing the threat of potentially becoming no more.
