Time to donate to the Internet Archive again: for those who want to and can afford it: https://archive.org/donate/
Just something funny: First time I donated to archive.org my bank blocked my card due to being a "suspicious payment".
I had to physically go to the bank because due to security reasons I couldn't unblock it in internet banking.
The high security looked like this:
"Hello. You blocked my card due to suspicious payment."
"OK, what's your name"
"[name]"
"I see. Did you make that payment?"
"Yes."
"OK, I'll send an e-mail to management. It should be unblocked in a few hours. Have a nice day."
"Bye."
They didn't want to see my ID card, not even the debit card. Nor sign anything. Just and only hear my name. "Security".
I had my insurance company ask me for my phone number for security purposes. It was an old one I had since replaced and forgotten, so they read it out to me and asked me to confirm it.
