- Comment on Archive.today CAPTCHA page executes DDoS; Wikipedia considers banning site 1 day ago:
To be fair Wayback Machine is not the only option, there are at least 3 other Internet archival services:
- Ghostarchive
- Megalodon
- Etched (warning: cryptobros)
Unfortunately their scrapers are nearly not as developed as Wayback Machine’s and archive.today’s are (Ghostarchive and Megalodon can’t bypass Anubis/Cloudflare check, for example). Ghostarchive is neat when it works because of very high-fidelity captures (even more high-fidelity than archive.today captures are). Unfortunately only something like ~75% of everything I’ve ever archived there works. Oh, and it can also archive short (<10 min) YouTube videos with low/average bitrate.
Megalodon is pretty much useless for Wikipedia because it doesn’t work with, like, 1/2 of all online news websites.
I haven’t archived anything on Etched yet, but their premise of “archiving a web page forever on bitcoin” doesn’t seem attractive so I probably won’t use it.

This is only tangentially related to the matter at hand, but there seems to be some massive attack on YouTube with fully LLM-generated channels and videos “covering” this situation: ghostarchive.org/archive/dlQhs.
Interesting…

So apparently this is a very deep rabbit hole, because now we have a third person who might own this service - Nora Puchreiner. Nora Puchreiner is… an interesting identity. Besides the links given by Jani (gyrovague.com owner) in the post, I could find her Wikipedia and Twitter accounts (both completely gone):
- archive.today/…/norapuchreiner/ (megalodon.jp/2026-0202-0536-35/…/norapuchreiner/ in case this snapshot “suddenly” disappears), suspended by Twitter for unknown reasons.
- en.wikipedia.org/…/User:Renamed_user_ghsfrdDFG678… (renamed; was “User:Nora Puchreiner”), suspended by Wikimedia Foundation’s Trust & Safety team for “impersonation” (though I have no idea who she could impersonate, because all accounts under the name “Nora Puchreiner” I could find obviously belong to one person).
UPD: also some print shop. I think all of this deserves a YouTube video by some internet oddity enjoyer…

There are people who don’t have an account/don’t log in every time they visit Lemmy.
Using RSS would be a better option for them than some extension’s filters, though.

whatsapp signal telegram
Telegram isn’t encrypted[1, while Whatsapp and Signal are US-based, which means that they will give up your data on the first request.
Use actually secure messengers, like Delta Chat, SimpleX, or Matrix with end-to-end encryption.

Wikipedia, as well as encyclopedias and textbooks, are secondary sources.

primary> don’t take Wikipedia seriously unless it cites a primary source directly. Primary sources are against the policy in 99.9% of cases.

If I went to a restaurant, they placed a hot steaming stinky turd sandwich on my table and then went “oh, but you don’t have to have it”, I still wouldn’t fucking eat there.
Why should we be okay with the Turd Sandwich that is

I like it because there are some very obscure sites in its index, which can be returned from fairly simple queries.
- Comment on YSK about SearXNG - an open metasearch engine 2 months ago:
The other search engines still work but I tend to get irrelevant nonsense as results
Yahoo and Duckduckgo return good results for me on the instance I use.
