I have 126 videos from a YouTube playlist of the insurrection sitting on my server. I hope others have copies of them as well.

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.
Can you please post a link to the playlist?
This is the one I initially pulled from.
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVXH9iglOLfbufcSYVpqdllxp-ZXCU6Ic&si=wiwShAPVMZ-ZIxKz
The links that finicky_foyer@sh.itjust.works posted I think are probably more complete and I will be grabbing those. But the YouTube playlist is good for those who can't do torrents.
Would you make a torrent out of those? I can help to seed them
As much as I hate it, there's currently still available a thread on Reddit that provides links to various archives of January 6th info/video/etc. I personally have the 1~ TB video archive data saved and mirrored on a couple of cold storage drives and I'd encourage anyone with the extra HDD space to grab as much as you can while it's there.

[Mirroring that post from January 2021; Magnet link truncated due to lemmy comment size limit. :( ]
FINAL UPDATE as of January 31st 5:35PM EST:
Thank you to everyone who shared content. The content being submitted now from what I'm seeing is duplicates of older content. I will thus no longer be updating this archive. The MEGA will remain untouched, so use that as you please, but that will likely die one day as there is a bandwidth/transfer limit. I will be uploading the content to Internet Archive, as well as other sources, but until then the torrent magnet that I will be seeding for a little while is listed below - my bandwidth isn't the best so please do seed if you can:
Hash (for verification of authenticity etc):

Archiving videos before potential removal from various websites...
Send or comment links of videos you need downloaded. Currently going through POV livestreams/replays.
NOTE: livestreams/POV are of the utmost importance. AKA Twitch/dlive/Facebook Live, etc. If you find any of these POV angles, please tag me directly in your comment, or PM me. These generally get taken down VERY fast by the livestream website.
UPDATE:
Thank you to everyone who shared links (and continue to do so). I am noticing that a lot of the content is now duplicates, or variations (crops, lower quality, etc) of the same content. So I have put all the content I have on MEGA. If I have replied to your comment then the content for sure is in this torrent.
MEGA: https://mega.nz/folder/30MlkQib#RDOaGzmtFEHkxSYBaJSzVA (this is the prefered way of downloading)
(This is sitting in at ~350GB as of Jan 10 3:00 PM EST. Still adding content)
UPDATE 2: Link should be working - MEGA contacted me and reinstated the account (and gave premium so I could upload more). I will be uploading more content that I find to the mega account. Still going through the comments, and the 900+ messages I have. Keep posting comments and I will upload them to the MEGA folder.
UPDATE 3: "Bellingcat" has created a really efficient way to submit media via a Google Spreadsheet. It's not connected to my archive, but I hope to have a merged final copy in the end.
UPDATE 4:
IF YOU WANT TO UPLOAD A FILE DIRECTLY TO ME: https://mega.nz/megadrop/fgve0WRa880 (no account registration needed)
BACKUPS:
Recommended backup:
Other backups based on the original MEGA from Jan 06 6:30PM - some might've updated, but no idea if/when; check each link, it should say. Or you can message the user:

See a familiar face in the archive? https://tips.fbi.gov/digitalmedia/aad18481a3e8f02
you should upload that data onto archive.org if you havent already, and while you're at it, throw it on the torrents or darknet for good measure.
Yeah better get it now, it'll be gone soon too

For those who hate S3:
wget -r -np -nH --cut-dirs=2 -R "index.html*" https://capitol-hill-riots.s3.us-east-1.wasabisys.com/directory.html
They don't care about the law so I'm not even a little surprised.

Trump really loves tianmen square, no?
Every year there are big celebrations, it's always fun on that square, so many colors of red....
That's so they can release the real footage of all those blacks and Mexicans who tried to over throw the capitol. The memorial in honor of Ashli Babbit, who gave her life to stop a wave of darkies, will be a major attraction for American patriots who wish to pray and learn about her life. Expected to open to the white public in 2029.
The memorial in honor of Ashli Babbit, who gave her life to stop a wave of darkies
please tell me there isnt a memorial for a schizophrenic dumbass that threw herself into a gun, that she knew was there, only to get shot and die like a fucking idiot.
There isn't. I'm just kidding.
thank god, but you've definitely just willed one into existence, and i'm sure there will be one in a few years time.
