I used to use archive.today to archive news stories. However, between recently experiencing issues accessing the site and now that FBI trying to shut it down, I need to find a new way to archive.
I came across ArchiveBox, but it seems like you have to self-host and I don’t have the tech skills yet to self-host an application. I also know the Internet Archive has the WayBack Machine, but never have good luck using the site.
I am hoping that I can find a site that is similar to archive.today and is not on the FBI’s watchlist.
Archive.ph is good, especially because I’ve never met a paywall it couldn’t bypass. 😏
archive.ph is just another alternate hostname for archive.today.
Oh. In which case it still works fine for me, what can I say. 😅
You can save as HTML but animation and videos won’t work. Try singlefile extension
Why are specifically are you using archive.today? To post links that bypass paywalls, or for something else? Because if it’s for something else then there may be other solutions, like using archive.org or saving the page locally.
I mainly use it to read articles that have paywalls.
AFAIK, archive.today is the best around for that, outside of installing the Bypass Paywalls Clean browser extension for Firefox or Chrome.
I’ll take a look at the browser extensions. Thank you!
If you have a machine and/or the storage for it, you could deploy a docker container of linkwarden and do it yourself for a lot of things.
It says it’s for “bookmarking” but in addition to storing the outbound link, it takes backups of pages as text, html, and PDF and can do so recursively with the pages links. Nice interface, makes stuff searchable and taggable etc.
That’s really cool. I didn’t know Linkwarden could do that. I’ll further take a look at this, thank you!
