Tackling the problems that really matter. Good job, FBI.
Fucking clowns.
Oh matters to them all right, and their boss.
And it’s not like they’re gonna stop them anyways.
Well don’t you know?
All they value is money.
Seems like another attempt to stifle the flow of information.
I remember when ICE took down Zlibrary…
Why isn’t the FBI doing anything about Epstein island list ? That’s more important than some archive website.
Because the archive site points out their deceptions, lies and cruelty
They probably are. They’re trying to make sure it hasn’t leaked onto archive.is.
They don’t need to, they already have it all.
You can just go fuck a duck. Archive is super useful. Leave it alone.

Poor duck…
I’m assuming the duck’s on top

AI stealing our work. The collapse of social networks. The need to pay journalists to produce impactful journalism. Here is why we are asking for your email address to read 404 Media.

So basically you need to spam me. Because a donation plea every so often . . .doesn’t get enough addresses to sell?
I’m saying it’s a flawed implementation is all.
Or…
But they are the same mob so why is the
suffixfolder different? ph, vn, is, md, today are interchangeable.Redundancy, in case of loss of a domain.
Sorry, “Suffixes” was a confusing expression on my part because then I went on to list the TLD’s.
I wasn’t talking about different domains. I was talking about different folders. What we have here is two copies of the same folder in the same domain.
Other person gave
https://archive.ph/TFqAxI gave
https://archive.is/5QFkFSo
https://archive.is/TFqAx

https://archive.ph/5QFkF
work too.Either 5QFkF or TFqAx should exist, not both. That is how it normally works.
“Infamous”? More like wonderfully useful.
It occasionally catches things that archive.org misses too. Also really nice to have an alternative.
It’d be nice to have a way of doing decentralised archiving while still keeping the trust. If you’re trying to prove that a site really said something at a certain date to another person, pointing to your own archive is kinda useless.
Blockchain?
It would help! It would establish that an archive was made no later than the date it was recorded on a blockchain (assuming the archiver isn’t also the one the made the original content in which case they can upload it after making the “archive”). You would still need to prove the trustworthiness of the archived data and at the moment the only thing we have for that is just trusting the archiver.
You could do something like have multiple archivers archive the same site in s stripped down for like plain text (so that differences caused by time or day, ads, etc don’t change the hash) and that way you can say that X amount of archivers agree that the site looked like that at that time.
No for real, why? Why are they persuing this?

Different archive, same principle.
I suspect they’re going after .is because they are more resistant to taking things down. But that’s speculation on my part. And even if I’m right, what is it that they actually are trying to remove?

That would explain why adguard’s public DNS started blocking it (labeled vaguely as “legal request”).
Guess I’ll be getting around to starting my own pihole after all
You can also use NextDNS as alternative
Damn, I was wondering why it was down. I hope it goes back up soon, its such a useful tool.

Same when I tried to access the archived version of the linked article of this thread. I was faced by a TLS error I never saw before (SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT), so I thought the Archive Today was facing server-side issues, until I decided to try accessing through the smartphone, and no error happened there.
I only managed to access Archive Today through my computer after disabling several security things, which seems quite suspicious, as if the Archive Today were being hijacked by a MitM (possibly the FBI themselves? They’re famous for setting up honeypots) who were trying to push malicious code/tracking to whomever access it.
I would be further worried if I were USian or a citizen from Global North (as I’m Brazilian and from Global South, I can tell the FBI to go pound sand, lol).
To USians, my suggestion is caution accessing Archive Today (at least the current IP address being pointed at by mainstream DNS resolvers) for a while, as the server, while seemingly Archive Today, may be actually some kind of FBI honeypot in disguise. It goes without saying how ICANN and IANA are US entities, prone to interference from three-lettered US agencies. There are alternatives to Archive Today, such as Ghost Archive and 12ft.
12ft got taken down sometime last year, iirc.
Rip, I was on my school wifi acessing it.
It is up. This very article for instance: https://archive.is/5QFkF
or
https://archive.today/5QFkF
or
https://archive.md/5QFkF
etcInteresting, all 3 domains are blocked on the protonvpn DNS server, can only access the if I turn off my VPN.
Australian Proton server works. USA server fails.
Then maybe it’s just that the archive website blocked some of the proton ips for abuse or something
I considered that but they use captcha so abuse seems unlikely.

I get around paywalls by disabling JavaScript when I read the news
I use the mozilla reader mode
I have JavaScript disabled by default on all pages, I only activate it if I need to, as per the privacyguides recommendations, but on this site at least, it still won’t load the article. If I want to read it I’d have to either register or use the archive.
Bypass Paywalls Clean is still around.

Updating
For Firefox at least, if you pin the extension to the browser toolbar (or whatever the space next to the address bar is called) you will see a little yellow triangle badge whenever there is an update. Click the extension icon to update.
For Firefox mobile and forks, you may get a notification that there is an update but I haven’t found a one click solution so I just go to the repo, download the xpi and install. To install from file on mobile you need to go to Settings > About Firefox > Tap the logo several times until you see Debug enabled > Go back to main Settings > Under Advanced look for Install extension from file.
Does this work as an alternative to the extensions?
yes
Thank you.
Shouldn’t they focus on the no. 1 law breaker and court ignorer in the country?
As a Canadian I believe we should build a wall, not just a physical wall but a digital wall.
It’s just to provide a layer of fuck you to the Americans.
Maybe like a Great Firewall. Seems like a great idea.
It’s more than famous, it’s infamous!
