I’m not 100% following, but if this is content that’s gone from being publicly viewable, uploading it to archive.org seems appropriate (but don’t take my word for it). Though if you do upload, it sounds like just the “part files” or just the “full files” would be enough. You could then also seed the torrent there.

The imgur links you might try uploading to ArchiveTeam’s imgur-grab project. Looking at the tracker, the archival seems currently half dead, but I’m sure they’ll get around to saving what’s left. (Unless it’s dead because imgur made it nigh impossible, which I can definitely imagine)

If you store it in compressed chunks (or on a file system that supports compression, I guess), that should be a great deal smaller, being text only.

They supposedly never delete good stuff, just make it unavailable, as you said. Maybe we’ll get them in a hundred or so years!

ArchiveTeam’s uploads also don’t have torrent files (anymore). Their wiki says that they disabled it to lighten the load on IA’s servers, as creating a .torrent file for a 10+GB upload takes considerable time, especially if it has to be redone.

I use tineye. Much better than google’s IME. It’s supposed to be privacy respecting, but I haven’t looked into it too hard.

Yes. Like, literally.

If you watch two movies but you can’t tell which one was made by Wes Anderson and which one by Adam Sandler, you’ll still pick one you liked better.

In this case the distro doesn’t matter. Just have someone else install and maintain it for you.

Ah I see now that the image you posted was from tineye as well! Sadly I could only find similar covers, not that exact one. Archiveteam grabbed many gigabytes of stuff from the site, but this picture was not among them.

The one from fangamer seems good but if you’re looking for specifically that image, it should be in there: https://tineye.com/search/51d526a53a45339dbff6f0501f0cdee0b6417766?sort=size&order=desc&page=1

edit: just noticed this post is old, whoopsie :)

They are about to double the rate lmit, so it should be a little better…

Yeah, that’s what I’m getting now, too. Hopefully they take the deadline into account for rate limiting… Still good to have warriors ready to retrieve, I guess.

Not sure. They don’t mention 4 being in beta or anything. Though they don’t list much advantage of using it over 3 either.

Not quite top performance, but people were happy to answer: https://lemm.ee/post/46119357

Still just read-only!

I can only theorize, but I doubt this specifically was the will of the malicious actors :)

Something definitely went wrong on their part, maybe even because of a DOS attack. Javascript-infested sites are anything but trivial to preserve anymore, but mixing it up like this is very unusual.

There is no IA community, so I thought you all might be interested.

Ah, nice! I tried to avoid powershell while on windows, so don’t know much about it.

You can get all the IDs using yt-dlp

yt-dlp --flat-playlist --print id <playlist>

Assuming you’re on linux, you can add >> ids_all.txt at the end to save the list to a file.

You can also add

--compat-options no-youtube-unavailable-videos

to get only the list of available videos instead and then, again assuming you’re on linux, do

diff ids_all.txt ids_available.txt

to get the odd ones out. That’s the simplest I could come up with. You’ll have to hope you can use the wayback machine, or a good old exact search to turn up what video that ID actually referred to

Just got to that one recently. Painful episode. Not even Bowie could save it by the end.

Will you marry me?

free =/= free

OP means libre software, as opposed to “shitty bloated proprietary software”

I think the DF creator said he would open source it when he is finished or no longer able to work on it (i.e.: dead), but we’ll see how that goes.

There’s a million alternatives that do the exact same thing. Fastfetch is just better, since it’s still maintained, and not painfully slow. I used to think neofetch being slow was kind of cute. Then I switched to fastfetch, and now I can’t bear the years neofetch takes to run.
