archive.is is being seized by the FBI.

Archiving CSAM on archive.is just seems way too on the nose. If anything, it does like a potential honeypot and it makes one question if this were used to send a message, rather than wonder who the spook is in this case.

You underestimate how dumb people can be. Josh Duggar was seeding CSAM torrents on his work PC, I can totally believe some low IQ pedo not understanding how IP addresses work.

and it is totally possible someone archived some epstein type shit they don't want us to see, like this: https://archive.org/details/dark-we...forum-leak-censored-posted-endchan-03.18.2025

To whatever FBI faggot is reading this thread:

Follow the link in the quoted post, watch the video, and then do your damn job by finding these websites and arresting their users. The users are (probably) not politicians or congresscritters, you'll be able to do your job.

? Httrack? Wget? Both of these options seem fine for independent archival purposes, I've even archived some websites already using these.

Can't speak to httrack, but just a word on wget: It's still using http/1 such that even if you remember to pass a proper --page-referer and --user-agent string you'll stick out like a sore thumb, and some sites are configured to reject those connections (because who the fuck isn't using at least http/2 at this point?). curl can get around this, but obviously isn't an all-in-one solution like wget, so you'd have to write scripts to do recursive retrieval since it's not designed for that. Also bear in mind that wget doesn't process javashit, so if you use --page-requisites to grab "everything" needed to display a page you may still end up missing shit that's referenced from javascript somewhere.

Archiving ain't easy. The more you know!
 
Oddly reminded when sauce nao, an anime and art source finding website, had a lot of child porn uploaded to its site and the web owner called out that it was a specific organization doing this and trying to report the site for "hosting" despite them doing it. I wonder if this is a similar deal.

It pisses me off that the only people I can show that video to are you kiwis because if I show an actual normal person they'll probably think that I am one of the traffickers. Go figure. Bringing this shit to public attention would go a long, long way.

Truthfully? There's probably something specific that they've identified being hosted on archive.is that they want taken down and have already taken it down on the "clearnet." What that is? Who knows?

There needs to be an archive of the archives that continuously compares its archive to the the live archives and highlights what's being removed.

When did "Eternal September" start? Was it in the '00s, or was it even further back in the days of Usenet in the 1990s?

AOL enabled USENET access in the spring of 1994, ergo the Eternal September is 1993's.

But a generalized concept of Septembering can happen to anything and can happen repeatedly.

Though "smartphones" had existed for a many years, as 3G began rolling out in the first half of the '00, the planning for "Web 2.0" began in 2004, mobile internet users were still not really a thing until LTE/4G rollout started in 2008-2010, All that together meant a new and different type of user flooded the internet in the early 2010s.

Relatedly, landline phones were not (and are not) common in India. It peaked with less than 5% market penetration. It peaked in 2004 and has dwindled to less than 1%. Most people use wireless/mobile phones. This also meant less than 5% of India had in-home internet.

4G launched in India in 2012. The pre-existing mobile phone customer base was already well over half a billion. And basically all of them got private/personal 24/7 internet access for the first time over the next few years.

This is, I'm sure purely coincidentally, around the time when the concept of "enshittification" is first expressed, but, regardless, there are abundant reasons the word for it is evolving into "enjeetification".

Not as many Indians learn foreign languages as learn English (around 10%, which in absolute number terms is equal to about half the population of the United States or 4-5x the population of Canadians), so the enjeetification of the, say, Russian-language internet is not as severe.

Septembering has also become a deliberate tactic of community disruption and should probably be included in the guides that teach about forum sliding, consensus cracking, topic dilution, etc.

You'll see it when a site, platform, or public group is misrepresented in mass media.

E.g., Reddit has never recovered from the infestation that began after Project Panda got Anderson Cooper to present it, on CNN, as a great place for pedophiles to hang out and exchange child pornography. 2011.

4chan has never recovered from the 2016 election.

Kiwi Farms still has a bunch of mentally ill men in wigs phonebooking each other (and complaining elsewhere about being phonebooked).

The current iteration of The Tea Party was started by MoveOn.org as a protest against the Forever War GWoT, but after it picked up some populist outrage about the banking system collapse and subsequent bail-outs, got turned into a retarded Republican thing by Rush Limbaugh talking about it as a retarded Republican thing and a bunch of Republican showing up to talk about retarded things. Occupy Wall Street tried to continue carrying that flag, but got turned into a retarded Democrat thing by the NY Post.

GamerGate and the August 28th "Gamers Are Dead" articles defending the sexpests.

Richard Spencer appearing on several news networks to talk about how he coined the term "Alt-Right", so the collection of online discussions that was accreting under that label was suddenly associated with some dumbshit nobody, and had to deal with the influx of dumb shit due to him being given a platform.

#MeToo being co-opted to cover for the take down of Miramax.

Burn Loot Murder being given a pretense of legitimacy.

Gandhi being raised to prominence to sideline Ghadar and Jugantar.

MLK being raise to prominence to sideline the Black Panthers.

Et cetera.

technically timetravel was that but it's dead
 
YT embeds once had "Video unavailable Watch on YouTube" bullshit with some vids (mainly Star Trek clips and any commercially released songs). Now, YT does "Error 153" on any embed. And now, archive.is may be seized. What is it with the internet getting ever worse and seemingly never better? Can you imagine how bad the future internets could get?

FFS! This internet just keeps getting worse and worse. Cannot find anything this, "send verification code" that, "sign in with Google" this, "your browser is outdated" that, "please disable your ad blocker" this, "Video unavailable Watch on YouTube" that, non-functional sites this, "Connection timed out" that! Endless, endless, endless BULLSHIT.
