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.
The links that [email protected]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.
