  • To be fair Wayback Machine is not the only option, there are at least 3 other Internet archival services besides archive.today:

    1. Ghostarchive
    2. Megalodon
    3. 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's captures are), but 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, half 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 attack on YouTube with fully LLM-generated channels and videos "covering" this situation: https://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):

    I also found some AI slop post on Blogspot with creepy AI-generated images, publised in June 2021 under a "nora-puchreiner" account and perhaps describing her achievements? I can't really make sense of what's written in it.

    UPD: also some print shop. I think all of this deserves a YouTube video by an internet oddity enjoyer...

  • Sounds like DNS issues

    DNS issues are client-side; 503 is a server-side error.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Does Wayback Machine work for you?

  • since it’s a transparent blockchain that is being monitored by millions of people

    Cryptocurrency tumblers exist for a reason. Though I agree that using Monero (or just keepig this money as it is) for such purposes would be better.

  • ...except Epstein files are the distraction.

  • Here's an XML dump of these pages: https://files.catbox.moe/3i52dy.7z.

    Note that you need a local MediaWiki installation to access this dump, which is possible with XAMPP.

    You should import it using php; not the web UI (Special:Import page) as it will just timeout there. This is possible with the following code:

     
        
    cd (path to php in your XAMPP folder)
    php "(path to importDump.php [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:ImportDump.php] maintenance script)" --conf "(path to your MediaWiki installation's LocalSettings.php)" "(path to dump)" --username-prefix=""
    
    
      

    You also need to enable ParserFunctions extension for templates to work correctly. You can do this by adding the following line to your LocalSettings.php:

     
        
    wfLoadExtension( 'ParserFunctions' );
    
      
  • And the neat part is that, since the wiki. subdomain is running MediaWiki, you can export the pages on the website itself using Special:Export.

  • Surgeries for trans people aren't cosmetic though.

  • Fucking normies...

  • 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, and honestly you shouldn't use it.[1] 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.
