Restating my love for Internet Archive and my plea to put a grownup in charge of the thing.

Washington Post: The organization has “industry standard” security systems, Kahle said, but he added that, until this year, the group had largely stayed out of the crosshairs of cybercriminals. Kahle said he’d opted not to prioritize additional investments in cybersecurity out of the Internet Archive’s limited budget of around $20 million to $30 million a year.

In security, industry standard seems to be about the same as military grade: the cheapest possible option that still checks all the boxes for SOC.

Military grade has different meanings. I’ve worked in the electronics industry a long time and will say with confidence that the pcbs and chips we sent to the military were our best. Higher temperature ranges, much more thorough environmental testing, many more thermal and humidity cycles, lots more vibration testing. However we also sell them for 5-10x our regular prices but in much lower quantities. It’s a failed meme in many instances as the internet uses it though.
