in the cafe, @eladnarra is running a #fundraiser for the @internetarchive that will culminate into a #zine!

this is such a cool project that’s only open for submissions for a couple more days—the deadline is JUNE 15!

if you want to help support the #internetarchive, join in this collective action! in times like these, having a living archive preserving information is so important.

So here’s a really useful tip if you’re using archive.org to look up a site and it redirects to some other site because that’s what they saw at a later crawl…

Prefix your search (in the URL bar) with:

https://web.archive.org/web/*/

So, for example, if you search for https://www.blendwebmix.com/ on archive.org, you’ll get a redirect to a different site.

But if you enter the following URL in your browser:

https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.blendwebmix.com/

You’ll get the calendar view with all the crawls of the URL.

@wikimediaDE was mich etwas unruhig macht: Dass viele Quellenangaben zu anderen Seiten verloren gehen und nach und nach durch Links in die #WayBackMachine von @internetarchive ersetzt werden. Wäre es vielleicht sinnvoll, wenn Wikimedia selbst solche caching, archiving server betreiben würde, um unabhängig und redundant/ausfallsicher zu bleiben?

Now might be a good time to donate to Internet Archive.
