Scroll down. Archive.today can archive things other services can’t. That’s why Wikipedia was in a panic about the verifiability crisis removing their 700 000 links would cause. Most can’t be replaced.

Okay, I’m just gonna explain where I’m at with this right now and why.

This isn’t a huge issue for this community but for our hard news discussion communities, abandoning archive.today would instantly make a large amount of news inaccessible (probably 1/3 or more, but that’s just a guess) to the vast majority. It could limit being fully informed to those with means. That would suck. It’s a real harm.

We’re in agreement that archive.today is problematic. We really need a working alternative. The ddos attack is shitty and immature. It’s a betrayal of trust. However, the victim stated in the Ars article you linked to that this hasn’t really had any discernible impact on them. So for now it’s a theoretical harm (and an abhorrent practice) vs a real harm.

For me, as it stands now, I’ll use alternatives where I can and use archive.today where I can’t because I care a lot about that harm. I’ll be ecstatic when a real alternative emerges. Like Wikipedia fell into different camps, we’re probably similar. I respect that you come down on this differently, but that’s where I’m at with this.


You know that’s not a real alternative. I wish it was – it’d make all of this a hell of a lot easier to navigate. But it just isn’t.



I’d take an alternative if you’ve got one. Otherwise, unless there’s a serious change for the worse, I’m probably going to keep posting them. Sorry!


I wasn’t attacking you. You took issue with the language used and I didn’t understand why. Still don’t – it seems like a common way to describe a common occurrence to me – but you don’t have to explain it if you don’t want to.



I dunno, seems like a perfectly fine way to describe what he was doing. What’s your issue with it?

He wasn’t diversifying trade in his speech at Davos, even if that was ultimately his goal.


Soups are really forgiving. You just need a stock pot. When I’d worry about a soup I was making, a chef friend of mine used to say, “it’s a soup- you could put your butt in it and it would turn out fine!” I wouldn’t take that as advice though.

Just buy stock/broth. Some benefits are:

  • super nutritious

  • very easy to make a lot to eat over time

  • you don’t need to do a ton of fine knife work

  • water limits your cooking temp to 100C, so it’s much harder to mess it up through overcooking/burning

  • easy to start simple and add complexity as you level up. It’ll still be super tasty at every stage.

You’d have to force carbonate with CO2. 40% ABV is way too high for fermentation.


This is some serious mission creep from the ‘slam’ weirdo community.


Probably nothing. What could he promise?

Given Denmark and Greenland seem to not have any idea what he’s talking about, this is most likely Trump caving and still trying to get a “Victory!” headline.


That’s not an effective test of whether this works. So no thank you, dear.




It’s hard to say because the chuds are also extraordinarily stupid.


Macron, call sign Maverick. I don’t know if not looking like you could buzz the tower at any given moment is technically a medical condition but the glasses are working.


I wouldn’t be so sure that climate change and fascism are completely unrelated.
