I probably have an over the top anger over the recent DDOS attacks against the Internet Archive. This non-profit has dedicated itself to preserving internet history and human history itself for the betterment of society and the thanks they get is lawsuits from book and music publishers as well as DDOS attacks and other data breaches. But I shouldn't be surprised that an internet library is being treated like shit, physical libraries are treated like dirt on someone's shoe too. The fact that websites like Internet Archive and Wikipedia (for all of its faults) exist without ads is a miracle in our current digital landscape and we should support them as best we can, because once they're gone we can't get all that knowledge and history back.

Went to save my scratch account there and was saddened to see if had been active. It’s an extremely useful tool
