Gosh I was a cute kid. Sleepy, or perhaps drugged? Circa 1962

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!

Just went to click on a #Reddit result in #Google that purported to answer my technical question, but the post was removed by a moderator, and or course Reddit no longer allows archiving on the #WaybackMachine. Goddamn, the #Internet sucks ass now.

Every time I click on an archive.org snapshot of mongoose.com from 2021 it redirects to present-day mongoose.com. How can I see a 2021 snapshot?

MakeUseOf: I built my own Wayback Machine, and now I never lose web pages. “Webpage archive tools like The Wayback Machine have rescued me from plenty of dead links, but it has one weakness that is unfortunately unavoidable. It can only recover a page if someone was thoughtful enough to archive it before it disappeared. I wanted a private version where I chose what sites to snapshot, capture […]

On 15 February 2013, Posterous published a post announcing it would shut down on April 30.

Here is that post, on my blog, in 2026 — text, dates and links intact, pulled out of the Internet Archive's crawls of a feed that stopped being served thirteen years ago.

The platform is gone. Its goodbye note isn't.

🌐 On World Wide Web Day, we’re celebrating the Wayback Machine’s milestone of archiving more than 1 trillion web pages, preserving decades of the web we’ve built.

I am kind of concerned about the state of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. My own personal anecdotal evidence is that it's at least once per week broken for 10 - 30 minutes.

Just right now, again, "502 Bad Gateway".

I do donate to them regulary and I hope that they'll get their Web Appication Firewall tuned good enough to defend against botnets (including LLMs), but still not impede usabilty.

Shout out to anyone that ever had anything to do with Wild Tech Garden and then also wayback machine for being able to access some technical help on a niche thing that I rabbit holed the weekend but now there is some light at the end of the tunnel and I might be able to do the thing that I thought was super important to a creative project. #virtualmachine #wildtechgarden #waybackmachine #fedithanks

It might seem easy if you don't want to host your own stuff anymore to just redirect any request to the #WebArchive overview by prepending https://web.archive.org/web/*/ in front of the URL.

But #TheWaybackMachine also archives and follows these redirects… And yes, that leads to URLs like https://web.archive.org/web/20241027051017/http://web.archive.org/web/*/https://… 🤯

@kuketzblog Warum bekommt man zB bei https://web.archive.org/web/20260000000000*/https://www.kuketz-blog.de/ die Antwort "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."

Klingt so, als ob ihr absichtlich nicht im Internet Archive gelistet werden wollt ... 🤔

Ich fand https://www.kuketz-blog.de/internet-archive-bot-von-der-webseite-aussperren/ und frage mich, ob ihr explizit etwas gegen die #WaybackMachine vom Internet Archive habt oder ob die WaybackMachine deshalb mit ausgesperrt wurde, weil ihr nicht (mehr) zwischen guten und bösen Bots unterscheiden könnt/wollt.

Internet archival sites struggling to preserve the internet because of skyrocketing #harddrive prices due to the AI boom — #WaybackMachine and #Wikimedia punished by stratospheric storage pricing and stricter anti-scraping measures blocking the wrong bots
#InternetArchive, whose mission is to provide "universal access to all knowledge," is one of the organizations affected by this crisis. Holds 210PB of archives, with another 100TB added daily to the Wayback Machine.

We're definitely near the crossing threshold.

I now consider the Web Archives extension an essential browser add-on.

Para relembrar quem ainda tenha #blog no #SAPO , e não queira perder o seu conteúdo, que está na altura de fazer o backup e exportar para outro alojamento antes do próximo dia 30 (de Junho).

Seria bom ver a migração para sites como o nosso Masto.pt, mas parece que o Blogger é o vencedor...🤷‍♀️

Entretanto, uma boa opção para a preservação de memória é o #InternetArchive com o serviço #WaybackMachine .

Sérieusement, en ce moment certains n'ont rien d'autre à faire que de hacker 2 de mes sites en même temps, ts... et même pas pour mettre des vidéos ou contenus à la place, juste des fichiers sales et des trackers partout.

Sauvegardes pas trop vieille, donc en 3 heures c'est corrigé. Et pour le billet manquant d'avril dernier, il y a toujours @internetarchive et #waybackmachine ❤️ 🙏🏼

Prodigy was the only service back in the day that supported TGA (Tandy Graphics Adapter) so that's what we used on our Tandy 1000 as CompuServ and AOL would fall back to CGA and go black and white.

I actually really liked the platform until I learned about the BBS scene.

📞🌐💾 Were you an internet… Prodigy?

Prodigy began in the mid-1980s as a dial-up online world before the open web existed. It offered a curated, menu-driven experience with forums, messaging, games, and early online services.

It adapted to the internet age, but was eventually overtaken by larger web portals & ISPs, with its remaining services winding down in the 2010s.

JUNETEENTH․com launched in 1996, helping share the history of June 19, 1865, and support celebrations across the United States and beyond.

As awareness of Juneteenth grew, so did the site.

The Wayback Machine preserves three decades of the site, documenting how it helped connect communities and sustain a tradition now celebrated by millions.

"Smile!" Summer vacation used to mean film cameras, limited shots, and the long wait to see how the pix actually turned out. 📸☀️

#Kodak helped define photography, building systems that made memories printable, shareable, and permanent.

With digital photography, Kodak slipped from public prominence. But today, film cameras are making a quiet comeback. “Smile!” hits different when every shot counts.

Hey #Waybackmachine, why does the planet have to deal with ruthless reckless, very rich people?

Discovering the Former “The New Leaf Journal”

I learned some time ago that there was a former thenewleafjournal.com. Today, we examine our domain name predecessor.

Today on International Archives Day, we recognize how institutions like the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) safeguard the nation’s documentary history, ensuring accountability, preserving memory, and maintaining access to records across generations.

Just as the NARA preserves a nation’s record, the Wayback Machine preserves the history of its web presence. 🕰️ 💾
