Subject: [FRIAM] wtf is going on with these socalled cyber attacks? and can 
someone explain like im 3 wtf happened to archive.org?



I lean on archive.org <http://archive.org>  to find all kinds of stuff, mostly 
because using google:archive.org <http://archive.org> : something I'm looking 
might get me to what I want. this month: an amazing amount of  super cool (to 
me) old timey  Halloween radio, and movies!  Belagoski, a bunch of other 
actors I don't remember the names of, in super great actually genuine 
silverscreened black and white?  OMG that (oink oink oink) was so (oink) 
cool!! man I wish I could go back in time to see that on the big screen totes 
rock.



-Pixtures of all sorts of (seemingly) random things to try to draw (or paint) 
to crapton of abanware games that are just stupid fun, and a few times 
schematics of the electrical internals of a charger to try to figure out if my 
USB charger was kerput or the cable was.

(Spoiler: both were)

So I am trying to understand: just what the (oink) went wrong?  aren't they 
like, ya know backing up the entire web?  don't they by now have many many 
petabytes of data? all co-located and backed up in such organised precision 
they could just roll back the attack?
