Attached: 1 image “Fix the Wayback Machine!” We’ve heard you. The Wayback Machine has been dealing with waves of high-volume automated traffic. Mark Graham, director of the Wayback Machine, explains what’s happening and what we’re doing about it. ➡️ https://blog.archive.org/2026/09/15/an-update-on-wayback-machine-access/

Just learned a cool word: illfare.
There's "welfare", right? So it makes sense to have "illfare".
I learned about this from the preface to J. A. Hobson's book "Work and Welfare": https://archive.org/details/workwealthhumanv0…

@… not sure I understand, is the Internet Archive offline?

Kaja #Kallas hätte es durchaus öffentlich sagen können: #Israel ist ein #Apartheid|systen. Schon 2017 hat sich die UN in diesem Sinne wörtlich geäußert.

internet archive will put huge fucking banners on their site like "why won't anyone donate to us" and then turn right around and post this bullshit

Have you seen my fork of scantailor? Any chance you have a recent Mac and a bunch of PDFs filled with yellow book scans? You know, the kind you might get from places like the Internet Archive? Oh, and it integrates with Zotero.

"The Internet Archive isn't just a place to find things."
Particularly because the lack of a proper search engine makes it really hard to find things sometimes.
I get that it's not trivial, but this is a very old frustration of mine. I've been trying for years to find some stuff on TerrŠvista, but not knowing the link, I'm stumped.

I love that institutions that fought for an open Internet, like EFF and the Internet Archive, are falling for the AI hype.

The Radio Image Framing Protocol (RIFP) 1.0 is an experimental, extensible standard for sending images over low-rate radio links.
The default rifp-cpfsk-4800 profile uses binary continuous-phase FSK and can be deployed around 433.92 MHz where local regulation permits it. RIFP itself is not tied to 433 MHz or to FSK and can be used in any frequency bands.
I'm still exploring various low-cost options for a device that can receive and display images on an e-ink screen in emergency areas or similar environments.
