Self hosted equivalent to wayback machine
So apparently, for some unknown and completely unforeseeable reason, a few notable websites have gone dark, like reproductiverights.org, lots of DEI related content, and <checks notes...> the official page on the US constitution. For now much of this content can still be found at the Wayback Machine, but it's not hard to foresee the same forces that took down the original content going after them as well. As an alternative, is anyone familiar with completely self-hosted systems with equivalent functionality to the Wayback Machine? -- - Frank
I'm not familiar with any self-hosted systems, but archive.today and ghostarchive.org are a couple of Wayback Machine alternatives (although far less comprehensive than WM). -- *"For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one."*- Souza On Fri, Jan 24, 2025 at 12:18 PM Frank Sweetser via WLUG < wlug@lists.wlug.org> wrote:

I suspect we might need to do that to a bunch of .gov sites as well.. I could see the NIH and other sites stripped of actual useful information and replaced with bullshit. On Fri, Jan 24, 2025 at 1:14 PM Tracie Winslow via WLUG <wlug@lists.wlug.org> wrote:

-- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
