Tackling the problems that really matter. Good job, FBI.
Fucking clowns.
And it’s not like they’re gonna stop them anyways.
Oh matters to them all right, and their boss.
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
Because the victims of the rape of children in the Epstein case don’t have the money. The perpetrators do.
Whose bread I eat, his song I sing.

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.
Purely anecdotal but they’re the only news site that I’ve ever given my email to and I actually enjoy seeing their emails. They send entire (interesting) articles that can be read with no CSS/tracking images enabled and their monetisation is a small text ad that breaks a single couple of paragraphs.
I’ve never gotten an email from them that was begging for money or anything like that, just basically an RSS feed of interesting articles
Meta
Softest paywall ever - they do such good work, they can have an anonymous email of mine no problem
Magic link’s so annoying though, just wanna password (they’re journalists not techies though is the long and short of it)
The FBI is probably going nuts here because someone inadvertently archived the Epstein files and everyone at HQ is panicking. They need to purge it for the Internet before someone discovers that archived content, and so they’re using CP as an excuse.
In fairness, if they are hosting those files, there is a very good chance there is cp
One domain is already blocked here in Italy for CP
You can just go fuck a duck. Archive is super useful. Leave it alone.
go fuck a duck
Poor duck…
I’m assuming the duck’s on top
The archive runs Apache Hadoop and Apache Accumulo. All data is stored on HDFS, textual content is duplicated 3 times among servers in 2 datacenters and images are duplicated 2 times. Both datacenters are in Europe, with OVH hosting at least one of them.
To avoid detection, archive.today runs via a botnet that cycles through countless IP addresses, making it quite difficult for grumpy webmasters to stop their sites getting scraped. Access to paywalled sites is through logins secured via unclear means, which need to be replenished constantly: here’s the creator asking for Instagram credentials. Finally, the serving of the website is also subject to a perpetual game of cat and mouse: “I can only predict that there will be approximately one trouble with domains per year and each fifth trouble will result in domain loss.” As of today, archive.today still works, but users are redirected to archive.md.
Seems like another attempt to stifle the flow of information.
I remember when ICE took down Zlibrary…
I’ll take Things fascists do for 400 please, Alex.

Regulatory capture is complete in the states.
The news sites are trying to have it both ways. Serving the news articles to visitors and then covering them up with a paywall with browser tricks.
I’m a bit sympathetic to them — they do need to get paid to keep operating, and ads don’t cover the cost of providing news anymore
I get around paywalls by disabling JavaScript when I read the news
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.
