@aud Not just a reminder, I had never heard of this before! I'm now trying to set up an old laptop and spare external disk to participate. For people looking to get involved I would suggest starting at https://sciop.net/docs/using/ . 
We are lucky that some people are working to save this data but the fact that they even need to do this is so sad and wasteful...

The ArchiveTeam Warrior has been running intermittently on my laptop for ten days now.
It downloads stuff and puts it into the Internet Archive.
Everything's fine. It only runs while I use the laptop. I don't notice it. When the laptop goes into standby and wakes up again that doesn't seem to have any adverse effects.
I've downloaded and uploaded gigabytes so far. The top of the leader board for this project is half a petabyte.
Now I'm considering a installation where it could run around the clock. I don't want to increase our household's standby energy consumption too much, so I will see how that goes.

Installed and started the ArchiveTeam Warrior. Very smooth experience.
It downloads stuff and puts it into the Internet Archive.
I took the "ArchiveTeam’s Choice" project and it chose public telegram channels. It's not taking a lot of bandwidth or memory or space or computing, as far as I can tell. It might take too much of my time and focus if I continue staring at the dashboard to try and figure out what all that stuff is.
The “Take It Down” Act is why we can NOT trust any server in the USA any longer. Yay #federation. Fuck #fascism
I didn't expect torrents to go from a pirate's best friend to resisting fascism so abruptly....but here we are. #fascism #datapreservation #dataprotection

EDIT: ARCHIVE.ORG sets have been fixed. Let the downloading commence!
My US government data hoarding page is up and ready with links and torrents. The torrents are all being seeded by my junkbox torrent server. I will continue to add torrents as I download things.
16TB collection of federal public datasets linked by data.gov, including over 311,000 datasets harvested during 2024 and 2025, are now part of a new data vault project seeking to preserve vital research data.

Due to the current data preservation emergency, I'm pretty sure I'm going to find at least 20 terabytes to stuff into an old 8 drive tower that I'm building out of junk box parts and then I will host government data mirrors that the fascists have wiped out. #datahoarder #datapreservation #fascists
9/ Scientists are working hard to archive critical CDC data to preserve it for future use. This highlights the ongoing battle to ensure accurate, science-based health information remains accessible despite political interference. #DataPreservation #HealthResearch #ScienceAdvocacy
