Status update: fiber cut between data centers - trucks are rolling. Services are slow but functional, except for the Wayback Machine, which is still offline.
@internetarchive Sure hope that was an accident and not a bad actor, sounds like the latter tho
was it an actual backhoe as in the legend?
@internetarchive Why isn't the onion address working?

@internetarchive remember, folks, call 811 before you dig.
The Luddites are rising.
Save your data's.
The great delete is coming !!!!
@internetarchive this almost sounds like in lieu of fibre you are demonstrating the bandwidth capacity of semi trucks filled with hard drives to keep data transferring...
@avatastic @internetarchive Sneakernet has amazing bandwidth but terrible latency.
@avatastic@avatastic.uk @internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org To this day, still the fastest throughput of any medium ever built.
@internetarchive yup. Terrorists are powerless compared to the power of a single careless backhoe operator in Ashburn, Virginia.
@internetarchive Any chance the international community can help make backup sites on servers in other countries?
@internetarchive any indication of when the Wayback Machine may get back online, at any capacity?
