Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

Any way to seed those out?
The link posted above by gdog05@lemmy.world (https://old.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/krx449/megathread_archiving_the_capitol_hill_riots/) has a magnet url that appears to be active still. It has ~1TB of data.
As well the link from pyr0ball@reddthat.com (https://capitol-hill-riots.s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com/directory.html) has the same magnet link plus basic html index with all the files.
Seconding this request, I donate monthly to the Internet Archive, but I think it's time to start archiving more individually too.
OK. Full admission here: I hadn't even considered donating to the internet archive. I frequently talk about "voting with my dollar". This will be a good way to do that.
Thank you for the comment and suggestion.
And I agree: I think that we need to have some independent backups for posterity.
Cheers, glad to hear it resonated with you! Small automated donations to things I find important and unambiguously good (mostly food banks and human knowledge projects in my case) really help me feel more connected to the world and its current state. And in a productive, prosocial way - it helps to counteract the doom and gloom a bit.
