This incredible story underscores, amongst other things, the need for trust and transparency in arching tools, and for web archiving toolchain to be fully open source and archives to be verifiable.

The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Love this new initiative by @webrecorder.net: GovArchive.us, mirroring dynamic sites as a static web archive, while preserving the previous URL structure. Could be a really compelling options for digital humanities projects, too.

Ever wanted to restore a taken down site from a web archive, with link navigation and references intact? Our latest tooling make this simpler than ever! Announcing govarchive.us - a dynamic, web archive-powered mirror of US government sites! More details on our blog webrecorder.net/blog/2025-03...

Would it be interesting to add some sort of automated way to opt-in to web archiving outbound links posted on atproto, and then extending the appview to view embedded archives (and extending the schema to WACZ files)? Maybe even a way to search for what's been archived so far? @bnewbold.net
