I could imagine a selfhosted way to store the data (for a group of people)

Linkwarden does this well. You can share a collection for a small group of people.

Thank you! Yes, you just get a zip file with all of your saved pages.

It looks like this:

Apologies for the self-promo. Downvote and I'll know not to do it again.

This trend of outright banning the Internet Archive has me extremely worried. I fear a future where news articles are memoryholed, and no one can remember exactly what was reported and how sensational it all seemed.

I've been working on this project [0] for a while. Originally, I started with a tool that would allow people to snapshot webpages in their own browser, and they could selectively share their snapshots. Then by consensus, everyone could understand what exactly had changed, and they could draw their own conclusion about why.

While working on it, I realized that an authoritative answer to "what did it look like on $DATE" can't be produced by a no-name company. It's gotta be a non-commercial entity that's got a track record of integrity. The dream would be to allow MemoryHole customers to submit their snapshots to the Internet Archive (or other non-commercial entity). It's definitely a copyright nightmare - so no clue how this could work.

I did exactly this in early 2025 with a small keyword tagging pipeline.

You may run into some issues with Docker and native deps once you get to production. Don’t forget to cache the bumblebee files.

Thank you. I didn't know this existed.

On the other hand, it would make it harder for big business to retain talent.

There was also instantbird - an IM client that let you connect to various IM platforms (MSN, AIM, Yahoo!, Facebook before “Messenger”)

It's an IRC network. https://libera.chat/

What are you using this for?

After a year it’s not reasonable to call the restrictions temporary.

Take a day off in the middle of the week.

Pocket still isn't open source after being acquired by Mozilla two years ago.

Be patient and point at specific "sloppy" things and explain why. If your colleagues are reasonable, eventually you'll help them up to your level.

I wrote a cli application for this purpose. https://github.com/marvelm/erised

The traffic likely peaks at certain hours

I wrote a similar tool which uses Electron to create PDFs of webpages and bookmark them in a SQLite database.

https://github.com/marvelm/erised

It only archives the one page.

Thanks for checking out the project. You can also query the underlying database at ~/.erised/erised.sqlite3 if you prefer SQL over JSON strings.

It uses Electron under the hood.

Thank you for pointing this out. I'll resubmit.

This is part of the Elixir standard library

Maybe the "tenth callback" is just a bad example, but I would emphasize not doing anything that will sap your motivation on the path to shipping. For me, that's having to deal with brittle code when I'm constantly reevaluating the requirements.

I set up Deluge web on a server, and I use SFTP to transfer downloaded files to my Mac.

Off-topic: What are they doing that requires "hundreds of thousands of searches with the DMV" every month?

What are you using Socket.IO for on the page?

- Erlang/Elixir

  - OP mentioned performance. Erlang is terrible for 

- Haskell

  - OP said non-esoteric.

  - There's a significant ramp up before you learn to deal with the compiler and lifetimes.

I recently started using Flowdock after a similar experience with Slack and it seems to solve a lot of these problems with threaded conversations in channels.

I have a similar problem. I can't listen to podcasts while doing anything important and I don't have a long commute. However, I've found that listening to news podcasts at an extremely low volume immediately before sleeping to be useful. This allows me to listen to the podcast if I concentrate, and zone out and fall asleep if I don't.
