#internet-archive — Public Fediverse posts

Sitting outside with tethered phone, trying to access #waybackmachine, but systematically rerouted to #Tesco's website. Hackjob? I worked out Tesco mobile is blocking access to the entire #internetarchive by default under the pretext of child #internetsafety, a total #censorship overreach⚠️ ! My parental access will take 24h to be granted, so I still have no mobile access. In the meantime I donated to http://web.archive.org because a world without it is scary. Drop a few 💲💲💲 if you can!

Yesterday I added the page about Juliette to the Web Archive by hand.

Now her story stays there even if the domain goes, or the hosting, or me, or whoever renews it after me.

My son will be able to open it and read it in any of the three languages. The photos got archived too, and that is the part that matters to me most.

For anyone who did not know, and I did not know until this week, you can archive any page and keep it there through - https://web.archive.org/save

It pulls the images, walks through everything and makes a full copy. At least it looks right on mine.

Long life to the Internet Archive!

@nycki @feed

and unlike the book preservation scanning done by #InternetArchive, rather than being added to the public commons & being made more accessible to the people of the world, all of the ideas in those books are being locked up inside proprietary LLMs to be regurgitated for profit^ as pale, bland language-shaped objects that vaguely resemble small portions of original human-created works 😕 😡 🤬
 
 
 
^ well, for money. any actual profit is all still off in a far-flung imaginary future

@marcel aktuell sieht man wieder gut die Abhängigkeit zu archive.org.

oof, tried to visit #InternetArchive yesterday and again today... even mastodon.archive.org is down.

The #InternetArchive is down It does not really make sense to me, that the information channel for downtimes of @internetarchive is on their own infrastructure - and seems to be down, too.

The Internet Archive @internetarchive services are offline. Unfortunately, although they list Mastodon among the platforms for finding the latest information, they don't seem to have posted anything here (they have on Bluesky and on Musk's platform). So here it is:

Another old sci-fi movie: The Cosmic Man (1959). Everyone's afraid of scientists, apparently. Except for little Ken, of course.

Transport Tycoon (iOS, 2014) OST (TTD OST remaster)

by John Broomhall.

This is the soundtrack for Transport Tycoon for iOS/Android (2014), a remastered version of the original game, Transport Tycoon Deluxe (1995). The original game was developed by Chris Sawyer for MS-DOS, and had an original jazz/blues soundtrack by John Broomhall.

For the 2014 version of the game, John Broomhall personally remastered the original soundtrack as well.

The tracks in this release were ripped from the iOS release of the game. They were not re-encoded. There is no lossless quality available.

The tracklist has been put in the same order as the original game.

On my #InternetArchive #FilmNoir journey still, made it up to K. Kiss Me Deadly seems like a pretty groundbreaking one if (as I researched by skimming notes on reception but not plot) films like Pulp Fiction and Raiders of the Lost Ark and more pay homage to a certain... thing. Okay, cover me, I'm going in. https://archive.org/details/the-detective/Kiss+Me+Deadly+(1955)+HD.mp4 #FilmHistory #Cinema

So @textfiles scanned this collection I sent him and placed it at the Internet Archive - it contains documents I kept after working at Electronics Boutique in the 1990s.

When working at EB, you could get games and hardware at severely discounted prices. Publishers were motivated in you trying out their stuff and recommending it. I got a lot of games from them. Most of what the Digital Antiquarian has been going through, I have because of these.

Hey #internetarchive fans, does anybody know of a way to find the DiscMaster URL (i.e. https://discmaster.textfiles.com/browse/31981) for a particular internet archive identifier (i.e. https://archive.org/details/macworld-march-2000)? Most ideal would be a way to do this programmatically.

DiscMaster is neat, but the way I've been searching for these pages is so clunky I'd be embarrassed to describe it.
