"So look after facts. You'll miss them when they've gone. This is Wayback Machine (@internetarchive). Give them money, they're trying to preserve the internet as it's being deleted day by day."
-- Carole Cadwalladr
#waybackmachine from @internetarchive has some old (2004) captures of my flickr page, like this one: https://web.archive.org/web/20041030110304/http://www.flickr.com/photos/rhodes/page13/
The nostalgia is strong: the eternal "beta" status, the .gne links, the ludicorp footer..
Flickr was my first real 'social web' experience. I met lifelong friends through #flickr and, through one of those friends, my now wife.
“When I moved to Los Angeles, I refused to be at home. I couldn't go blonde or schmooze at parties. I wouldn't drive a car. I walked it…”

Are there alternatives to The Wayback Machine and archive.is ?
Google + Bing got rid of their cache feature. The Wayback Machine went down recently. Archive.is is owned by an anonymous owner and privately funded.

Internet Archive, dijital dünyada bir zaman yolculuğu!
I am really missing studygroupcomics website. Is there something similar around?
It was a page full of free webcomics.
Here is a snapshot from the Waybackmachine: https://web.archive.org/web/20160305182103/http://studygroupcomics.com/main/skew-part-3-by-william-cardini/
"According to Graham, based on the big jump in page views he's observed over the past two months, the Internet Archive is drawing many more visitors than usual to its services — journalists, researchers and other inquiring minds. Some want to consult the archive for information lost or changed in the purge, while others aim to contribute to the archival process.
"There's a groundswell of support for the Internet Archive because of the dramatic shift that's going on in parts of the government web infrastructure that you wouldn't imagine would change," said Brewster Kahle, the founder and current director of the Internet Archive. "People are coming and rallying behind us — by using it, by pointing at things, helping organize things, by submitting content to be archived — data sets that are under threat or have been taken down."
Nancy Krieger, a social epidemiologist at Harvard University who likened the purge to "a digital book burning" in a February interview with NPR's Ailsa Chang, is one of them. She's teamed up with other scientists to try to preserve federal health data that has recently disappeared from government websites. She helped develop a list of terms to send to the Internet Archive to aid the search and preservation effort.
"We want to preserve public health data that are crucial for people's well-being," she told NPR."

Last week in Leiden, Brewster Kahle was presented with the 2024 ProjectUil by the Dutch Wikipedia community. He explained how the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has helped fix millions of broken links, ensuring citations on Wikipedia remain valid and accessible across multiple language editions.

Update. "As the Trump administration purges web pages, this group is rushing to save them"

"After President Trump's inauguration in January, some federal web pages vanished. While…were removed entirely, many came back online with changes that…officials said were made to conform to Trump's executive orders to remove "diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility policies." Thousands of datasets were wiped — mostly at agencies focused on science and the environment…Information about climate change, reproductive health, gender identity and sexual orientation also have been on the chopping block…The #InternetArchive [@internetarchive] is among the few efforts that exist to catch the stuff that falls through the digital cracks, while also making that information accessible to the public. Six weeks into the new administration, #WaybackMachine director Graham said, the Internet Archive had cataloged some 73,000 web pages that had existed on U.S. government websites that were expunged after Trump's inauguration."
Does anyone know what's going on with the Internet Archive? It feels like their systems are running ultra slow since the DDoS attacks and the data leak months ago. Saving pages seems nearly impossible and searching for archives loads forever. Anything people like me can help with, aside from donations?

Humming along in an old church, the Internet Archive is more relevant than ever

Comment: incredibly valuable resource!

Support these people!

“It’s HUGE! Maybe TWO TERRABYTES!” The inimitable Wendy Hanamura recalls @internetarchive founder Brewster Khale’s 1997 estimates of the size of the web. “Now @mark and the #WaybackMachine team does 2TB before breakfast!”

Pues me acabo de enterar de que Wayback Machine @internetarchive tiene una extensión genial con versiones para todos los navegadores más usados. De la descripción:
"Retrocede en el tiempo para ver cómo ha cambiado un sitio web a lo largo de la historia de la Red, guarda sitios web, accede a páginas 404 no encontradas, o lee libros y artículos archivados."
Esta es la de Firefox (y derivados):

#epa #standupforscience hey y’all get in your #waybackmachine to go visit #Chattanooga in the 1970 s when the river was on fire and the rich folks on Signal and Lookout could not see their factories and worker housing down below. Hunter Art Museum has a great display on this
Rachel Maddow reporting on this.
Can #WaybackMachine or other groups please quickly help???
