Annie Rauwerda has built a career exploring Wikipedia’s weirdest corners 🌐

The creator of Depths of Wikipedia says, “If Wikipedia is worth anything at all, it’s because of the citations.” She’s had a “simultaneous love affair with the Internet Archive and Wikipedia” as she embraces the spirit of the open web & the community of people who support this work.

TechCrunch: The Wayback Machine debuts a new plug-in designed to fix the internet’s broken links problem. “Automattic says that its new plug-in works by scanning your WordPress posts for outbound links, then cross-referencing the Wayback Machine for archived versions of those links. If there are none, it will automatically take new snapshots of the articles in question. Should a linked web […]

First it's important to note that over years I realized that #OSI is just a corporate (and US-led) gatekeeper organization that serve the very interests their sponsors.
You can easily see this reading their license review mailing while keeping a tab opened on the sponsors page of the day through the #WaybackMachine.
Just as a couple of example, they rejected #MongoDB's #SSPL while #Amazon was their major sponsor and adopted CAL that was way more contentious.

The last damage that OSI did to our communities has been the #Meta dictated #OSAID (OpenSource #AI Definition) better known as #OpenWashing Definition, that superseed the #OSD and does not require training data sharing, voiding the freedom to study and welcoming toxic candies within "open source" just to avoid the #AIAct requirements.

So I don't care about OSI opinion about the #HackingLicense (or about anything else).

Having said that, you are right that its first condition forbid any use of the covered work that would limit third party access or use of it.

So basically you can't use your freedom to limit the freedom of others.

Is it still a free license?
Never asked to #RMS or #FSF, but I guess that such formal constraint makes it "not free" to their eyes.

What they miss, imho, is that freedom without communion is always going to be exploited by the strongers (under #capitalism, the rich) to oppress the weakest (everybody else, the workers, the customers, the environment...) as #LLM are showing these days.

In fact the latest version of the #HackingLicense was written in response ti #GitHub #Copilot (aka #CopyALot), after it distributed #GPLv3 code from #Quake with a wrong attribution and a permissive license.

The Hacking License is a dependency inversion: if you use data or code covered by it, anything that come out can be used under such license.

Link rot is an increasing issue on the Web, leading to inaccessible sites and broken links. To address this, Automattic and the Internet Archive have launched the free Internet Archive Wayback Machine Link Fixer plugin for WordPress. This tool scans websites, preserves content, and redirects users to archived versions of missing pages.

This image captures the vast, distinctive interior of the **Bibliotheca Alexandrina** (Library of Alexandria) in Egypt. The photo is taken from a high vantage point, looking down across the library's massive main reading room. Here are the key visual elements: ### **Architecture and Structure** * **The Roof:** The most striking feature is the high, slanted glass-paneled roof. The skylights are angled specifically to allow distinct beams of northern sunlight to enter the building without damaging the books with direct glare. * **Columns:** Tall, slender concrete columns support the roof. They feature flared, lotus-flower-inspired capitals (tops), a nod to ancient Egyptian architecture. * **Cascading Levels:** The floor plan consists of a series of terraced levels that cascade down like a giant amphitheater. This design creates a continuous, open space without distinct floor dividers, allowing visibility across the entire hall. ### **Interior Layout** * **Study Areas:** The terraces are lined with rows of wooden desks. Many of these are equipped with computer terminals, while others are set up for reading. * **Bookshelves:** Blocks of low-profile bookshelves are arranged systematically on the various levels, integrated directly into the study spaces. * **Flooring:** The floors are covered in polished light wood (likely oak), which adds warmth to the vast concrete and glass structure. ### **Atmosphere and Lighting** * **Scale:** Small figures of people scattered throughout the l

Generative Al and Fair Use I emailed Brewser Kahle regarding 2025 and generative Al, and here is his quote: "Generative Al has caused some web sites to pursue dollar signs by block their sites or launch lawsuits. This does not help the cultural heritage institutions, such as the Internet Archive and often hurts users in general. The web seems to have turned much more adversarial as many pursue monetization. The Internet Archive will stay free and open to try to help people get a handle on our changing world. The Archive offers open datasets for Al researchers and companies to leverage for their services. As an organization the Internet Archive has been using generative Al tools to help speed metadata assignment and scanning activities."As we move deeper into the 21st century, the Internet Archive stands as a paradox. It is a technological behemoth, operating at a scale that rivals Silicon Valley giants, yet it is housed in a church and run by librarians. It is a fragile institution, battered by lawsuits and budget constraints, yet it is also the most robust memory bank humanity has ever built.

Do you remember when all the Punk websites had those banners?
If yes: you are old too!
That was the time, when you went to selfhtml.de from @StefanMuenz@social.vivaldi.net to learn HTML. Not sure, if I would have become a nerd without that page, so from deep of my heart: Thank you!

I'm still sad, there is no BLINK html tag anymore

Yearn for ? Let's go in the but maybe not so far the giant, climbable metal antenna tower outside our house... In USA, you get TV over the air, free. Spend $0-15 for a digital antenna (that "feels" analog). Check friends, family, thrift, discount stores, etc. An $8 antenna works great for people in populated areas w/o skyscrapers. Your TV may also have a built-in, stronger tuner. With a suburb of a small metro, I get 29-33 channels, including all the local news channels. ✅

@kalos @nerdlings blog.eamonnmr.com/2026/01/dnd- I was able to get less than half because #Internetarchive #waybackmachine is down. Posted them on my blog because I don't want to mess around with the internet archive any more today. If the #waybackmachine ever comes back I will try and get the rest.

While using the Wayback Machine the last few days, I've had a lot of "503 Service Unavailable" errors. I'm seeing those errors not just when archiving pages, but also when retrieving pages from the archive as well.

In the past, I've seen issues with Wayback Machine short-term corresponding to an event that would trigger a lot of archiving (example: a major government agency caught deleting web content.)

🎉 Can you believe Wikipedia is 25 years old? 🎂

A quarter-century of free knowledge built on a simple idea: show your sources.

In a web where pages disappear, Wikipedia endures by documenting, citing, and inviting the world to improve what we know. And when sources vanish, the #WaybackMachine helps keep them alive—preserving evidence so knowledge stays verifiable and free. 🌍📚
