Go offline a couple of days until they are losing interest in DDOS'ing? Would that work?

That just means the DDOSer is taking Internet Archive down without any further work required.

[–] NumerousGeorg@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

True. That's not something you want. Could use that downtime for extensive maintenance to roll out a more robust system (they are probably even working on that already in the background). For the end user it doesn't really make a difference if down because of DDOS or because of maintenance I thought.
