I stumbled on a yt tutorial about how to download Transformers War for Cybertron which is one of the games I would love to play but can't(we all know why). I am skeptical on it since I don't want to pirate games because I am afraid to get viruses, but the yt uploaded by TFHypeguy(which is a die hard transformers fan also) so I do trust him but not fully trusting the website to download it. So I am still deciding if I should or nah, what do you guys think?
I’ve been diving deep into the Internet Archive lately for a video series project. Each video is a compilation of audio and video assets labeled as Public Domain, Public Domain Mark 1.0, or CC 1.0 Universal on archive.org.
Check out the first video in the series here: [Link]
Already, I can tell that these labels aren't 100% accurate to the source material. I’ve already run into some copyright claims (though no strikes) when uploading this first vid.
BUT, I really enjoyed the process of finding and compiling this media, and it’s been a pretty fun way to engage with the archive. Is anyone else here working on projects using IA media? I’d love to see what you’re doing or hear any tips you have for navigating the "is this actually public domain?" headache.
I've been having a lot of problems since last night with the Internet Archive. Unable to find server is the common issue but it comes and goes. Supposedly its being attacked by a DDOS attack. Who would attack a non profit organization like the Internet Archive?!
How much of GeoCities is still available today in archives?
And how do you access them?
Hi all, I was a huge fan of this Electronic music podcast (https://electronicperiodic.com/page1/page10/page10.html) but now the episodes are not available to be downloaded? Is there a way to achieve that? Thanks
It was just me and my one-year-old today, and as I was watching him play I started to get nostalgic about my childhood, the jokes I would tell with my friends, and sharing the weird stuff we saw on the internet. Getting introduced to memes, YouTube before every channel was perfectly manicured for monetization. I know you can find all of this stuff in different places, but I wanted a place to aggregate all of the greatest, weirdest, most nostalgic internet content. Back when it was fun and full of hope, not just monetization. I separated stuff by eras, but please take a look and feel free to edit and add. Give me some grace. This was a day of work while wrangling an increasingly opinionated toddler.
It looks like all of the extensive effort ArchiveTeam made to preserve the decades of Yahoo Group's active service is no longer available. Everything in the Yahoo Groups collection, aside from the torrent information, you cannot download anymore. The WARC files have been disabled. Is there another backup of these, if possible?
yesterday, i was using the wayback machine just fine, but today it refuses to load and says it "took too long to respond." does anyone know the reason behind this? (i use chrome if it helps)
oh, and by the way, regular internet archive is working just fine. its just the wayback machine that's having the problem.
I have been getting constant 429 Too Many Requests errors since Thursday even when I haven't accessed it in a couple of hours, like it lets me access one thing before it starts showing me the 429 Too Many Requests thing. I would check my Chromebook to see if it's doing it on there but I lost it so I only have my PC and phone. I'm being ragebaited atp 💀
The Dictionary of Architects in Canada, an incredible website and treasure trove of information for architects, historians and heritage buffs is currently disappearing.
Its founder and sole contributor, architect Robert George Hill (1947-2026), has passed away last winter and his work is in limbo since. The website, https://dictionaryofarchitectsincanada.org went down shortly after, probably for domain renewal. It has then been sold for 20k $, went back up shortly, and is now turning into a AI online casinos apology slop.
Some pages are still available, (ex. a single architect page https://dictionaryofarchitectsincanada.org/node/1085, or glossary https://dictionaryofarchitectsincanada.org/glossary/a ), although not many through the sites links, rather by direct URL.
All the information within it, assemble over a lifetime by Hill, is at danger of being lost. I couldn't find any information about any announcement of the preservation of the site. I tried writing to the Society for the Study of Architecture in Canada, but had no response. I also saved it with the WaybackMachine, but many outlinks seem to be dead since the site first lapsed in march.
The Dictionary of Architects in Canada was a website listing a great many architects, a brief summary of their career and listed as many works as possible. There are similar websites for architects of Britain and Scotland https://architecture.arthistoryresearch.net .
Does anyone have any information or any means to save the Dictionary? As a heritage professional, this site is near invaluable. I would very much appreciate any help or information.
When I go to the archive.org website, it gives an error. Am I the only one with a dead archive, or is it the same for everyone? If the archive is closed, we'll lose so much
Hello! I used to cosplay from 2015-2019, unfortunately I deleted my instagram account and deleted all my tik toks and wiped it from existence. I’m struggling to find anything but there used to be some online under my old username peachires. How do I find them or how do I use the wayback machine? any advice?
