it's complicated. afaik asml has agreements with the us govt, and cross licensing with american companies. also, asml only makes lithography tools, there's a LOT more to making semiconductors than just exposing patterns. and a few of the biggest vendors like kla and amat are american. kla in particular is essentially a monopoly in the metrology space.

afaik, risc and cisc are pretty much the same anymore. x86, risc v and arm all have bloated instructions sets, and they all decode to risc microcode under the hood anyways.

lol those are dram chips in the stock photo.

(more risc v investment away from the us is a good thing though!)

gonna need some hard drives lol. wikipedia is only about 100GB. annas archive is like 1PB, and even just the index is 1TB. the various government archives that were collected are at least 500TB (and probably closer to several PB).

other good things to mirror are probably open source code repos (they get taken down all the time - especially emulators, p2p, and now encryption), libretexts, linux repositories, 3d printed gun files, documentation, project gutenberg, the internet archive, openstreetmaps, the reddit archive, and any other content you find personally valuable - including websites and youtube videos.

the sum of this data is in the dozens to hundreds of petabytes, which is obviously infeasible so i personally try to curate what i find personally valuable and of highest societal value and risk, and to partially mirror what i can for the rest.

as always dns is the weak link in internet infrastructure. if they can takedown piracy domains they can take down anything.

legally no, but it's not like the governor of colorado is sending ukraine weapons - they're just words and as such do not violate the constitution. ianal, etc etc

I mean it's easier and vastly more compatible than it was even a couple years ago thanks to the proton devs.

my backup is staring longingly at LTO drives and wishing they would magically be affordable.

Gonna need a little higher density barcode lol

Adding in yt-dlp. Not a platform but a useful tool to download youtube videos for archival or redistribution.
