  • At least 3 major outlets — The New York Times, The Guardian, and Reddit — have blocked the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine from accessing their content

  • I’m certain they’ve wanted to do this for a long time, and AI is a convenient way to justify it, rather than admitting they don’t want humans using it to circumvent the paywall. It does solidify for me personally that the LA Times is the paper of record for the United States going forward, rather than the New York Times.

  • Read the diffs. Not all of them.

    How do you write this whole article and come to the conclusion you can merge unread diffs?

  • Wikipedia blacklists Archive.today, starts removing 695,000 archive links

  • Any good archiver will check for an archived copy before making a request, and batch requests. This was very different than the attack you’re imagining — if you opened any archive.today page, it would poll a developer’s personal blog, regardless of whether you were interacting with content from that blog.

  • Unfortunately, they’ve allegedly modified the contents of some archived articles, so even though they may do better to archive, nothing archived is of any value because it cannot be trusted.

    Sorry, for taking so long/two-weeks in getting back to this/Internet, beyond just deleting E-Mails in my G-Mail account to get back under size limit, still doing that.

  • I’m sorry, that seems very difficult. I’m not trying to be rude, but I just wanted to check — is this community where you intended to post this? It seems somewhat out-of-character.

  • We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history -- which is no doubt true -- but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a war-time economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks. The time has come for loyal Americans to Sacrifice. ... Sacrifice. ... Sacrifice. That is the new buzz-word in Washington. But what it means is not entirely clear.

    Still wild to me that he was publishing stuff like that for ESPN. Can you imagine ESPN putting something like that about Trump on the page today?

  • I get the gist of 1200, but 1100 is inscrutable. If you’re having trouble through 1300 and 1400, my best advice is to read it aloud — your ear is better than your eye.

  • It’s so strange that the people who are most strident about “there are only two genders and you can only be the gender you were assigned at birth” are the first to insist that a woman is secretly a man because she’s good at sports, or a man is secretly a woman because he doesn’t watch sports. You’d think the gender essentialists would be most strident about great women athletes being women no matter what, but somehow gender is something assigned at birth that you can’t decide to change about yourself, but can be removed by a committee of old white men if they don’t like you.

  • It does more to handle client-side rendering than archive.org, so there are pages that could be rendered by today that were not archivable by org. Also, because of differing usage patterns, it has archives of pages that org didn’t, and even for pages that org does have, at times org doesn’t.

  • Deeply saddening. Archive.today was a great resource, and stored a vast repository of human knowledge. As the internet turns to slop, we need sites that preserve the history of the web more than ever, and it’s very disappointing that the team at archive.today has failed us so profoundly in our hour of greatest need.

  • You can be edgy on the other edge. It’s way more impressive because if you’re too edgy, you get abducted by the secret police so it has actual stakes.
