I avoid Javascript outright because async/await/promise is confusing to me. I blame it on being a PHP Programmer and likes things to run serially.

The biggest feature of PHP for new people to the language is in-lining

You can do stupid stuff like

<table> <?php foreach($array as $row){ ?> <tr><td><?php echo $row[0];?></td></tr> <?php } ?>

Meaning you can just inlay PHP in your raw HTML as you please, this example will reprint the <tr> and <td> for every key in $array

Full Archival with the standards required by the Internet Archive require that full unmodified headers are required, and unmodified content. This tends not to work well with modern browsers. Chrome and Firefox both fail at this currently. Someone is looking into a kind of modified Firefox to help with this. but its just not that how this system works. Now the Archive.org does have a API of sorts to say hay archive this URL, and a little working on the backend goes and does it..

What the Archive Team does is on a much more massive scale. Like SETI at home scale of scraping data across the internet. At almost every point we have had to make custom tools to ensure it meets our needs in our archival efforts.

Over at a University we run, we like to run like a ISP and only have a /16 to work with, its very tight even now, we have thousands of students using the Wifi, Dorm Networks and such. I do wish we had more.

Its always a fun thought experiment to understand the source of "truth" for ones ID in the USA. The main source is your Birth Records. but these can be lost and do often as older records are rather scattered about. If your older they want proof of stuff in your name like bills and other records, but these tend to be what ever name you gave them over the phone. Bank records are based off SSN or Driver ID, and thats based off your birth records. What if your birth records are lost? Lets say you have nothing, No ID, No Records, What do you do? how do you prove yourself is really your old you?

Oh.. Its Static. All the "hacked" targets are pre-coded into the javascript

I wish Linux worked on my main work laptop, but with the current state of nvidia prime its just a non starter. I spent 3 days trying to get even basic graphics switching going when in windows its seamless

They do respect robots.txt matter of fact, it will remove the website outright and most of its archives will be hidden until that website's robots.txt is offline.

Their documentation about it is rather crap right now, but its in several of their FAQs about it

That website is something else for sure. It really needs some help on explaining what it even does... (And it throws around the fancy buzzwords like Web3)

This has come up a few times. Mostly the owner is set in their ways and are mad at CF for not providing the DNS flags that allow outside CDNs to figure out what IP you are closest to. From a 2019 thread about this:

The archive.is owner has explained that he returns bad results to us because we don’t pass along the EDNS subnet information. This information leaks information about a requester’s IP and, in turn, sacrifices the privacy of users. This is especially problematic as we work to encrypt more DNS traffic since the request from Resolver to Authoritative DNS is typically unencrypted. We’re aware of real world examples where nationstate actors have monitored EDNS subnet information to track individuals, which was part of the motivation for the privacy and security policies of 1.1.1.1.
