  • How do I use the bookmarlet? I have no idea what "drag to toolbar" means. What toolbar? Where am I supposed to drag it? I'm using Microsoft Edge.

  • I looked in the FAQ, didnt find an answer, so I'll ask here. Have you considered trying to connect your database with the wayback machine's database? So that when someone searches for a page, they are actually searching both archiving websites simultaneously.

  • Is there any reason to delete products from Amazon? I have saved several products this week to see how the price changes and have disappeared. Why did this happen? I do not get it.

    I have not deleted, it might be just difficult to find the saved pages

  • Gransy/Regtons offer “whois proxy” which will list “yourdomain.com@fablovkawhoisprotection.com” in whois data instead of your actual email.
    On “fablovkawhoisprotection.com” they use overstrict anti-spam filter which rejects emails sent from Gmail.
    If someone send a message to “yourdomain.com@fablovkawhoisprotection.com” from Gmail, you do not receive it and the sender will get the error back:

    No wonder such a unstable email service raises ICANN compliance reports about invalid email in whois.

    No wonder that people unable to contact the domain owner via email have to fill the Whois Inaccuracy Complaint Form https://forms.icann.org/en/resources/compliance/complaints/whois/inaccuracy-form

    So far so good: there is a bug, there is a report, there should be the fix.

    But not in case of Gransy.
    Referring to the letter from ICANN, they were trying to collect as much personal documents of domain owner as possible threatening to remove a domain (two documents were not enough, they wanted more, apparently to perform the identity theft) and completely deniyng the issue with whois proxy email.

    The most technically incompetent registrar I ever seen. Zombies.

  • Dear archive project, I have been working on recreating the history of the small but very active indie gamedev community on 8 chan, called agdg. I noticed that there is a time between may and august of 2015 when no archives are available for the imageboard, outside single snapshots. I read somewhere that they were removed due to inappropriate content, but I decided to reach you in hopes that perhaps you maintain some archives from that time.
    beelzebox

    Yes, loli-related pages (like /hebe/) have been hidden.

    As for /agdg/, there are really only a few pages have been archived.

    Only http://archive.is/https://8ch.net/agdg/* http://archive.is/https://8ch.net/agdg/* http://archive.is/http://8chan.co/agdg/* https://archive.is/http://8chan.co/agdg/*

    AFAIK, there were projects with the goal to archive whole 8chan, they may have more

  • Attack on .ch and .li domains

    A nice story happened few days ago: Switchplus, the biggest registrar of .ch and .li domains have blocked the archive mirror domain “archive.li”.
    The reason was “we have informed by the police that there is ‘illegal content’ hosting on the domain”.
    They also treatened to delete the domain after 3 days of blocking.

    After short interview[1] it was discovered that the “police report” has been sent not by the police but by a random person who simple wrote “detective sergeant” at the bottom of his email.
    And what made the Switchplus executive believe that the email was really send by the police is that it was a “repetitive case”.
    How nice.
    When Switchplus receives few emails signed by Nigerian King, it would ensure them they are talking to real Nigerian King.
    A rowhammer attack, huh.

    I was under impression of talking to an inexperienced junior employee, but quick googling revealed that Wolfram Schmidt is the CEO of Switchplus, about 50 years old[2].
    He manages assets of thousands people and feels right to sequestrate them based on fake email messages in his inbox.

    If you - my reader - have a business competitor with a website on .ch or .li domain, you might easily destroy the business of the competitor by sending email message to Wolfram Schmidt telling that you are a Nigerian Detective and you found something illegal on the competitor’s website.
    You do not even have to point what exactly is illegal.
    One message might be not enough but 2-3 messages should form a “repetitive case”.

    And if you own a .ch or .li domain managed by Switchplus, your domain is in danger.

  • I like that when a page is archived using google, bing, or yandex cache, both the "saved from" and "original" URLs are shown. Could you please add this feature for the cached pages at Exalead and Newslookup? Thanks in advance.
