Maybe temporarily switch to a different address? And leave fake addresses to catch the ddos. Then just keep changing addresses using an IPFS system to front-end the new address?

There’s no way to do this and let visitors know what the new addresses are, without also giving the new addresses to the attackers.

Across social, economic, and political spectra, you can always tell the good guys from the bad guys by their stance on access to knowledge.

Had an argument with FIL where he argued his last child Is out of school so he votes against school taxes. I’m like you know that pays for the people you and your family will interact with. His response was “I want them as ignorant as me”. Even as joke it’s lacks wisdom. He just complained about doctors being uneducated an hour before.

Complains without solutions and distrusts legitimate experts, with a dash of “fuck other people.” So you’re just saying your FIL is a typical Republican.

A quick search indicates that they’ve archived ~100PB of data.

Now I’m trying to come up with a way to archive the internet archive in a peer-to-peer/federated fashion while maintaining fidelity as much as possible…

Torrent?

It’d be a lot more complicated than that, I think, if one wanted to effectively be able to address it like a file system, as well as holistically verify the integrity of the data and preventing unintentional and unwanted tampering

Torrents. Their hashes are derived from hashes of chunks. Just verify chunks.
