Swift is a more convenient Rust
People still write applications in Objective-C (e.g., see Transmission [1]), and the language is still maintained to support the latest OS. If anything, Apple being the largest sponsor of Objective-C would suggest that you get greater vendor lock-in out of it than Swift, since you can at least use the latter outside of Apple platforms (e.g., on a server).

Top DNS domains seen on the Quad9 recursive resolver array each day
If people have naïvely configured their BIND client libraries to talk directly to Quad9, instead of via a machine-local forwarding caching proxy DNS server, then libcurl can be sending a re-query out to Quad9 every 60 seconds for domains that it actively needs to map to IP addresses.
* https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT.html
Excessive DNS traffic and the interaction with libcurl and with not having a machine-local forwarding caching proxy DNS server, is a known and open issue with that software.

Internet Archive: Security breach alert
Not much money and bandwidth if you aren't on a metered connection. You can share tens of gigabytes or more on a cheap read only flash plugged into into a $25 single board computer that draws way less than a full PC and can be left sitting there near the router. Just limit its bandwidth on the torrent client and you won't even notice it during online gaming. The client can be as small as the Transmission daemon running headless on one of the many Debian based embedded distros: all control through either the web or from its client: no monitor, mouse, keyboard etc. just a small cheap box.

You can help Anna's Archive by seeding torrents
> Would have to keep my desktop running 24/7 too?
You could build a seed box out of a old ARM board running the Transmission daemon and a USB key mounted read only to avoid wear; power draw would be just a few watts and total cost could be less than 50 bucks. The desktop would be needed only when adding torrents or changing configuration from its web interface, although Transmission also has remote control apps running on phones and tablets. If the router permits it, QoS rules can be set up on the router so that the seed box can use all bandwidth, although at lower priority than other machines on the LAN, so that it will never clog the network, which comes handy for example with online gaming.
