Rohini Lakshané<p>Thread: TIL that Indian central and state gazettes are archived by PublicResource at <a href="https://archive.org/details/gazetteofindia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">archive.org/details/gaze...</a>.
This is an invaluable reference considering that copies of the gazette are either not available online or there are several issues with accessing them.

Roy Tang 🇵🇭<p>I would also like to do this, but I don't know if I can stomach the manual process he describes. Most likely I'd need to build out some tools. And just from archiving my old content on other platforms I can relate to his pain about the issues encountered when trying to archive other people's webpages or links like poor redirects, defunct services.</p><p><a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/Archiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Archiving</span></a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/Web" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Web</span></a></p>

Aral Balkan<p>So here’s a really useful tip if you’re using archive.org to look up a site and it redirects to some other site because that’s what they saw at a later crawl…</p><p>Prefix your search (in the URL bar) with:</p><p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/*/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">web.archive.org/web/*/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>So, for example, if you search for <a href="https://www.blendwebmix.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">blendwebmix.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> on archive.org, you’ll get a redirect to a different site.</p><p>But if you enter the following URL in your browser:</p><p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.blendwebmix.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">web.archive.org/web/*/https://</span><span class="invisible">www.blendwebmix.com/</span></a></p><p>You’ll get the calendar view with all the crawls of the URL.</p><p>Thanks to iarchivist for the tip (<a href="https://archive.org/post/1012493/wayback-how-to-deal-with-redirects" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.org/post/1012493/wayba</span><span class="invisible">ck-how-to-deal-with-redirects</span></a>).</p><p>(I’m going through and fixing all the links in a decade of talks for Laura and myself on the Kitten version of the Small Technology Foundation site and most of the conference sites are either gone or don’t have archives so the Internet Archive is coming through again bigtime.)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/InternetArchive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternetArchive</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/waybackMachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>waybackMachine</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/archiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archiving</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/redirects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>redirects</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/tip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tip</span></a></p>
Jake in the desert<p>"One of the biggest challenges of web archiving today lies in the fact that so much activity on the internet now takes place on social media. When these platforms get deleted, not only do users often lose access to their personal data, but future historians lose access to records of our time. Live platforms can be difficult to archive due to the volume of content and activity over time, but doing so is crucial for our understanding of web history."</p><p>The Forgetful Web: A Case for Reflective Archiving <a href="https://www.flickr.org/the-forgetful-web-a-case-for-reflective-archiving" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">flickr.org/the-forgetful-web-a</span><span class="invisible">-case-for-reflective-archiving</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>internet</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/archiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archiving</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nostalgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nostalgia</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/future" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>future</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a></p>

Aral Balkan<p>New Kitten Release 🥳</p><p>• Implements cascading archives support</p><p><a href="https://kitten.small-web.org/reference/#cascading-archives" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">kitten.small-web.org/reference</span><span class="invisible">/#cascading-archives</span></a></p><p>Cascading archives¹ is useful if you have a static archive of the old version of your site and you don’t want to host it somewhere else and use the 404→307 (evergreen web) technique (<a href="https://kitten.small-web.org/reference/#evergreen-web-404-307" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">kitten.small-web.org/reference</span><span class="invisible">/#evergreen-web-404-307</span></a>) (the latter is useful if the old version of your site is a dynamic site and you cannot take a static archive of it).</p><p>If a URL cannot be found on your app, Kitten will trying it in the archive folders:</p><p>__archive__1<br>__archive__2<br>__archive__3</p><p>(In that order.)</p><p>So you can three older static versions of your site served without breaking older URLs unless they are shadowed by newer URLs in your site/app.</p><p>Enjoy!</p><p>:kitten:💕</p><p>¹ This is a feature that I originally implemented in Site.js (that’s going to be shut down tomorrow when Let’s Encrypt stops issuing certificates with OCSP-stapling – I don’t have the bandwidth to maintain two servers/frameworks; Kitten is Site.js’s successor). I’m planning on implementing this differently in Kitten going forward (so you can use the Settings interface to upload a zipped archive and it will serve it) but I need this for my own site for tomorrow’s shutdown so we have this simpler implementation in the meanwhile.

Never! ;)</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/Kitten" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kitten</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/SmallWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmallWeb</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/SmallTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmallTech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/archiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archiving</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/evergreenWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evergreenWeb</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/dontBreakTheWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dontBreakTheWeb</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/links" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>links</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/URLs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>URLs</span></a></p>

Aral Balkan<p>Ooh, what’s this?… Look Over There!<br>(With apologies to Jaida Essence Hall)</p><p>So the little app I teased earlier is ready and deployed and I have our own instance running at:</p><p><a href="https://look-over-there.small-web.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">look-over-there.small-web.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Look Over There! lets you forward multiple domains to different URLs with full HTTPS support.</p><p>Why?</p><p>We have a number of older sites that are becoming a chore/expensive to maintain and yet I don’t want to break the web. So I thought, hey, I’ll just use the “url forwarding” feature of my domain registrar to forward them to their archived versions on archive.org.</p><p>Ah, not so fast, young cricket… seems some domain registrars’ implementations of this feature do not work if the domain being forwarded is accessed via HTTPS (yes, in 2025).</p><p>So, given Kitten¹ uses Auto Encrypt² to automatically provision Let’s Encrypt certificates, I added a domain forwarding feature to it and created Look Over There! as a friendly/simple app that provides a visual interface to it.</p><p>To see it in action, hit <a href="https://cleanuptheweb.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">cleanuptheweb.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> and you should get forwarded to the archived version of it on archive.org. I’m going to be adding more of our sites to the list in the coming days as part of an effort to reduce my maintenance load and cut down our expenses at Small Technology Foundation.</p><p>Since it’s Small Web, this particular instance is just for us. However, you can run your own copy on a VPS (or even a little single-board computer at home, etc.) A link to the source code repository is on the site. Once Domain³ is ready for use (later this year 🤞), setting up your own instance of a Small Web app at your own server will take less than a minute.</p><p>I hope this little tool, along with the 404→307 (evergreen web) technique⁴, helps us to nurture an evergreen web and avoid link rot. (And the source code, as little as there is because Kitten does so much for you, is a good resource if you want to learn about Kitten’s new class-based component and page model which I haven’t yet had a chance to properly document.)</p><p>Enjoy!</p><p>:kitten:💕</p><p>¹ <a href="https://kitten.small-web.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">kitten.small-web.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>² <a href="https://codeberg.org/small-tech/auto-encrypt" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">codeberg.org/small-tech/auto-e</span><span class="invisible">ncrypt</span></a><br>³ <a href="https://codeberg.org/domain/app" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">codeberg.org/domain/app</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>⁴ <a href="https://4042307.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">4042307.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/LookOverThere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LookOverThere</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/Kitten" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kitten</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/SmallWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmallWeb</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/SmallTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmallTech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/web" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>web</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/archiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archiving</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/evergreenWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evergreenWeb</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/dontBreakTheWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dontBreakTheWeb</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/LetsEncrypt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LetsEncrypt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/https" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>https</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/TLS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TLS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/webForwarding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>webForwarding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/urlForwarding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>urlForwarding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/Domain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Domain</span></a></p>
