Today may be a good day for you to donate to the Internet Archive. If you rely on the Wayback Machine or enjoy the game archives or simply appreciate the amazing preservation work the non-profit is doing, kick them a few bucks.

Naturally their own donate page is offline right now, but you can donate yourself via check or wait for the site to come back.

I had the privilege and joy of meeting several of the team at the Internet Archive who actively police for this kind of content as best they can, while maintaining the openness of their service. They're cheerful, honest, hardworking and energetic people. There's few groups I'd feel so happy to support.

Maintaining an open and freedom-loving service in the face of abuses is incredibly hard. It's an incredible disgrace how badly these attackers have misunderstood their targeting.
