There was a website that I had quoted a long time ago. The author said something like "when the robots are taking over the world, don't panic. Buy a robot." I loved it. So I linked to it on my old blog. Then years later, I went to the source only to find that the page returned a 404. So I linked to the wayback machine instead. But then, it was removed from the archive.org. I can't even remember the name of the website at this point, just that it had the word "café" in it.<p>Anyway, all this to say that since there are no sources for this quote, then I'm the new original source. You can quote me on that.<p><a href="https://imgflip.com/memegenerator/117370206/You-made-thisI-made-this" rel="nofollow">https://imgflip.com/memegenerator/117370206/You-made-thisI-m...</a>
"Do you do backups too, for example to guard against corrupt data getting mirrored across both copies, or accidental deletion?"<p>John Gonzalez, Internet Archive infrastructure lead, replied:<p>"We have done experiments to confirm that we can back up large portions of our corpus... but this is not a regular practice for us at this time."<p><a href="https://blog.archive.org/2016/10/25/20000-hard-drives-on-a-m" rel="nofollow">https://blog.archive.org/2016/10/25/20000-hard-drives-on-a-m</a>...
In modern times, archive.org is an international treasure.<p>Which of course means it's facing major opposition from capital interests.<p>Apparently no one ever thought an incoming presidential administration would literally wipe gigabytes of government funded research results off the web.<p>Now we see in bold type how precarious is our democracy...
Is this the story of Johnny Rotten?
