@Retreival9096@tech.lgbt I've never used a VPN before, but I just tried the free version of ProtonVPN (using the flatpak) and it works. It makes me solve a Captcha, but I only have to solve it once before getting to the actual site. #ArchiveToday #Captcha #ReCaptcha

@datn@hact.org Yep, tethering my laptop to my phone makes it work.
(I'm not sure if I can tether my desktop since it has no wifi card.) #ArchiveToday #Captcha #ReCaptcha

@vantablack Fortunately, @Yuvalne's screencap has been captured twice at the Internet Archive to date:

https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://433.world/@Yuvalne/110566872225488614

(I'm .. having issues with Archive.Today, "SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP".)

@liztai Firerfox principally on desktop.

#Einkbro on my e-ink tablet, with #Firefox as a fallback.

#Tor on both when privacy is a particular consideration. It's still inconvenient --- somewhat slower, but most annoyingly, VERY frequently blocked by sites, though #InternetArchive and #ArchiveToday both help with that considerably.

That Google in particular blocks virtually all Tor traffic is itself especially telling.

Continued Community Migration tips:

• The #InternetArchive, and the independent though closely-working #ArchiveTeam are a blessing if you want your content permanently archived online. (And if you don't, they'll disable public access on request, easily, email info@archive.org) This can be self-service or through an Archive Team Project, see: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/

• To save any one page at the Wayback Machine, use a URL of the form https://web.archive.org/save/<ORIGINAL_URL>. This can be scripted or automated if you have a list of URLs, say, from a downloaded archive. I've saved many thousands of my own pages across multiple sites this way.

• There's also #ArchiveToday, which is not a charity, is pretty opaque about operations, operators, financing, and goals, but does do a good job of capturing today's Web as it exists (IA can have ... issues with this). There is also no automated bulk-save option. You can streamline the process by generating sets of URLs to save, and clicking through those one-by-one. Depending on what you're trying to save and how motivated you are, this is also an option (and yes, I've also saved a few thousand of my own pages this way).

Keep in mind that archive sites may not be as accessible or functional as the original. For example, Google+ URLs archived at the Internet Archive carry only a subset of comments, and profile pages don't allow the listed posts to be opened.

For example, this G+ post shows only 6 of 82 comments:

https://web.archive.org/web/20190319215226/https://plus.google.com/104092656004159577193/posts/hEjRbVQmYSD

And my G+ profile page shows posts but those cannot be opened through the Wayback Machine. Heck, you can't even determine the URLs to request archived copies:

https://web.archive.org/web/20190331094038/https://plus.google.com/104092656004159577193/posts/

What's most useful is if you can indicate on a profile / landing page where you've gone off to and people might be able to, with luck, track you down there. My G+ profile page above does so.

@popolon @altlink @alcinnz #archiveDotIs (aka #ArchiveToday) is in itself an exclusive walled-garden jailed in #Cloudflare. In principle they have an #onion site, but http://archivecaslytosk.onion/psMa6 also shows a #CAPTCHA to Tor users. So it's still a dead-end.
