Popular Science: The Internet Archive records its 1 trillionth website. “The Internet Archive—one of cyberspace’s most essential library projects—has achieved a feat that’s hard to even conceptualize. After nearly 30 years of painstaking work, the nonprofit has preserved its trillionth webpage.”

Ars Technica: Wikipedia blacklists Archive.today, starts removing 695,000 archive links. “In the course of discussing whether Archive.today should be deprecated because of the DDoS, Wikipedia editors discovered that the archive site altered snapshots of webpages to insert the name of the blogger who was targeted by the DDoS. The alterations were apparently fueled by a grudge against the blogger […]

#WaybackMachine Director Pushes Back on AI Scraping Fears Driving Archive Blocks
https://blog.archive.org/2026/02/18/wayback-machine-director-pushes-back
As reported by Nieman Lab last month, some major media organizations—including The #NewYorkTimes, #TheGuardian, and #Reddit—have started blocking the Wayback Machine from archiving their sites over unfounded concerns about AI scraping.
Mike Masnick in #Techdirt explained why this is “a mistake we’re going to regret for generations.”

Alex Chan: Hard problems in social media archiving. “Institutional archiving has different constraints to individual collections – institutions serve a much wider audience, so their decisions need consistency and boundaries. My own scrapbook is tiny and personal, and comparing it alongside institutional efforts really highlights the differences and difficulties. It’s why I usually call it a […]

Looking after your URLs: tikalinkextract eight years on

by @beet_keeper

We might not have a second life, but what if I told you there was a second internet? Not the deep web, but another web that we engage with nearly every day?

Think about it, that QR code you scanned for more information? That payment link you followed on your electricity bill? The website you’re told to visit at the end of a television ad?

The antipodes of the internet are these terminal endpoints, material and not necessarily material objects that represent the end of the freely navigable web — the QR code on a concert poster is the web printed onto the physical world. There is every chance it will be scanned and followed by someone from a mobile device, but it’s a transient object, something that will exist for a short amount of time, and then disappear into the palimpsest of the poster board or wall it was pasted on until it eventually disappears.

This is part of the materiality of the internet that has long fascinated me. Perhaps it comes from being a student of material culture, but if we look around, we see the Internet everywhere!
