Help the Internet Archive, which is saving a lot of the data being purged/censored by the Trump Administration (and so much more).....
Jason Scott@textfiles.com · yesterdayYou know, honestly, more than monetary donations, if somebody worked at a company that had access to a lot of 18 terabyte and larger hard drives and could talk to us, that's where we are really suffering.
