Make sure you donate to the Archive and not Change.org . It’s easy to click the link, sign the petition and then donate to the wrong organisation. Change.org is kind of scummy like that.
talk to the archive team at their irc channels or take a look at the website. they are sometimes looking for programmers, archivists, donors or a variety of people to help with what they need.
consider running the warrior too. its pretty lightweight.
if that doesnt work out, with that storage space you could also back up a bunch of wikipedia and still spare. they have torrents and dumps of their stuff publicly available.

ill also remind you to use the archive team warrior to help them out, if you have spare server space.
it helps them archive content in closed services like reddit, telegram, youtube and such.
furthermore, if you have a ton of spare storage space and free time, consider helping back up their archive.

How do I go about this? I’ve got 30TB available, 24/7 uptime. It’s not much but it might help.

At this point, it seems like a major existential risk for the internet archive to be based in the US.
