Posted about it yesterday already. But it looks like archive.today shows the default page of #Apache #webserver on #Ubuntu. The alternative domain name archive.is instead redirects with a 301 - Moved Permanently to a new domain krola.org, a website apparently comparing pet rabbit species?? It's also interesting, that the redirect to the new domain responds with an #HTTP header server: nginx/1.18 (Ubuntu). Apparently, the default Apache landing page also returns the same HTTP header information on the server. Perhaps the landing page is a decoy/deflection?

Anyone on #infosecexchange has any speculations on the website?

@tagesschau Es gibt derzeit eine Menge Freiwillige, die Forschungsdaten retten. Folgt @SafeguardingResearch und @internetarchive für mehr Info! Wäre auch mal einen Artikel wert, was Freiwillige im #Widerstand leisten.

Das Wort wird zwar gern überstrapaziert, aber staatlich, noch dazu von der Regierung angeordnete Löschung aus politischen Gründen ist tatsächlich ganz eindeutig Zensur: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zensur_(

"According to Graham, based on the big jump in page views he's observed over the past two months, the Internet Archive is drawing many more visitors than usual to its services — journalists, researchers and other inquiring minds. Some want to consult the archive for information lost or changed in the purge, while others aim to contribute to the archival process.

"There's a groundswell of support for the Internet Archive because of the dramatic shift that's going on in parts of the government web infrastructure that you wouldn't imagine would change," said Brewster Kahle, the founder and current director of the Internet Archive. "People are coming and rallying behind us — by using it, by pointing at things, helping organize things, by submitting content to be archived — data sets that are under threat or have been taken down."

Nancy Krieger, a social epidemiologist at Harvard University who likened the purge to "a digital book burning" in a February interview with NPR's Ailsa Chang, is one of them. She's teamed up with other scientists to try to preserve federal health data that has recently disappeared from government websites. She helped develop a list of terms to send to the Internet Archive to aid the search and preservation effort.

"We want to preserve public health data that are crucial for people's well-being," she told NPR."

Last week in Leiden, Brewster Kahle was presented with the 2024 ProjectUil by the Dutch Wikipedia community. He explained how the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has helped fix millions of broken links, ensuring citations on Wikipedia remain valid and accessible across multiple language editions.

Update. "As the Trump administration purges web pages, this group is rushing to save them"
npr.org/2025/03/23/nx-s1-53265

"After President Trump's inauguration in January, some federal web pages vanished. While…were removed entirely, many came back online with changes that…officials said were made to conform to Trump's executive orders to remove "diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility policies." Thousands of datasets were wiped — mostly at agencies focused on science and the environment…Information about climate change, reproductive health, gender identity and sexual orientation also have been on the chopping block…The #InternetArchive [@internetarchive] is among the few efforts that exist to catch the stuff that falls through the digital cracks, while also making that information accessible to the public. Six weeks into the new administration, #WaybackMachine director Graham said, the Internet Archive had cataloged some 73,000 web pages that had existed on U.S. government websites that were expunged after Trump's inauguration."

The interview (kqed.org/news/12031980/what-ha ) to @brewsterkahle continues:

"those who control the past control the present, those who control the present control the future. The idea of a #library is part of an ecosystem of how society remembers. That’s how it thinks of itself. If you were to erase the #InternetArchive and the libraries, which is in many ways happening now, then we will live in a danger of having people be able to recast what happened"

"Six weeks into the new administration...the Internet Archive had cataloged some 73,000 web pages that had existed on U.S. government websites that were expunged after Trump's inauguration."

This is a well-written piece and crucial to know for all of us who want to preserve and protect truth.

Well done, NPR, for placing this article front page on their website earlier today.

"For decades, the Internet Archive has preserved our digital history. Lately, journalists and ordinary citizens have been turning to it more than ever, as the Trump administration undertakes an ideologically-driven purge of government websites. But the Archive itself faces an existential threat. In this episode, Close All Tabs Senior Editor Chris Egusa joins Morgan to discuss his visit to the Internet Archive and its colorful founder Brewster Kahle, the legal battles that could shut it down permanently — and what losing it might mean for accountability and the preservation of history."

Continued thread

It comes from a loose coalition of #archivists & #librarians, who are standing athwart #history & yelling “Save!” They belong to organizations such as the #InternetArchive, which co-created a project called the End of Term Web Archive to back up the federal web in 2008; the Environmental Data & Governance Initiative, or #edgi; & #libraries at major #universities such as #MIT & the University of #Michigan.
