Any details on this "nationalistic rhetoric"? According to an official post from June, the block was put in place because the company "isolated a high number of fraudulent referrers in specific countries"--namely, the five countries listed in your previous post. I'm not saying Brave is being an honest, upstanding company here--for example, it has failed to add this list of countries to the Terms of Service, over a month after the original post--but that doesn't sound very "nationalistic" to me.

Isn’t there much difference from “blacks are criminals“ in how particular cases extrapolated to color of skin or even color of passport? Especially when it comes to stealing from them and that motivates to describe the group as broad as possible.

Please, at least put a note on the unsupported page why Brave is unsupported again, I thought this was resolved
Anonymous
No, it hardly will be resolved.
it seems that Brave is a scam project by their nature (no wonder looking at their cryptocurrency affiliation). After I managed to transfer the domains to account of my friend, they blocked his account and stole all the tokens using nationalist rhetoric as a cover: they said that they do not pay to Russia, China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Ukraine (interesting, it wasn’t a problem before my domains was transferred there. so I feel guilty for destroying my friend’s business).
Blocking a minor browser who blocks half of the world *for profit* seems an adequate counter-sanction. I encourage webmasters (especially from those countries) to block Brave as well to stop spreading that scam.

I couldn't find it in the FAQs, but I'm curious: what's the relationship (if any) between archive-dot-is and archive-dot-org? (not that there has to be :3 ) Thanks!

There is no relationship

For weeks now Discord is again not displaying previews for archive links. Is it a problem on your side or did they do something?

I will check, Discord Bot was whitelisted few months ago.

what happened to the bookmarklets is is just replaced by the extension now?
Anonymous
Bookmarklet still works. There were few issues which makes the bookmaklet inferior to extensions so I stopped promoting it:
1. People do not understand where is “bookmark bar” and even what is it. The bar is not visible by default in modern browsers.
2. Firefox has blacklist of websites where all the bookmarklets do not work. The list includes “twitter.com” among others, to the bookmarklet did not allow to save tweets if you are using Firefox.
3. Since recently (somewhere between Chromium 80 and 85), `document.URL` on Wayback Machine pages returns url of the original page, having “http://web.archive.org/web/YYYYMMDDhhmmss/” prefix stripped. This breaks bookmarklet too.

Do you know why the archive button disappeared from the chrome web store?
Anonymous
No, I do not.
Those buttons are made by other people, not by me, so it would be better to find …an archived copy of the page from chrome webstore with the contact information of the authors and ask them.

Hello. I am new to this website. Does this website act like the WayBack machine where pages are automatically saved by the website for users to see? Or does this website need a person to on purposely copy and paste a url into the archive to save its contents?
Anonymous
It needs a person to on purposely copy and paste a url into the archive to save its contents.
At the time Archive.Today was created, The Wayback Machine was not able to save pages on demand, while increasing share of dynamic and realtime content in the Internet (so to say, the transition from “writing“ to “speech“) was destroying the very idea of Hypertext (when every page could link to another and every reader will find there the same content) and it was frustrating. So, our idea was not to crawl and preserve the entire Internet, but merely to freeze the pages before linking to them. And this implies the presence of the person.

Hi. I'm trying to use ArchiveIs in an Alfred workflow. It submits webpages via the archive now python library. The problem is that during testing, I'm getting a lot of 503 from the server. Is there a rate limit? Should I identify as a specific user-agent? What am I missing?
Anonymous
Yes, it is likely rate limiting showing a page with captcha

Hi, I am not familiar with programming, I read question 75363302879 (does-archive-is-have-api) but I don't really understand it. I want to ask if this idea I had is feasible: I want to write a program that saves bookmarks, and when adding a url, it will automatically run each url through archiveis as well. Is this allowed, do you limit use of your service? Or do I need to "self-host" whatever technologies that archiveis uses. Thanks.

For self-host try https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox or https://github.com/webrecorder

whats the domain name? the name everyone calls it is archive. is, when i visit archive. is the logo says archive. today and when i click that it takes me to archive. vn. whats going on?
Anonymous
It is intentional.
No single domain is reliable and I have no means to enforce control on each domain.
* archive.today - threatened with confiscation http://blog.archive.today/post/116913927371/the-domain-registrar-gransy-s-r-o-aka, also a troll attack caused service interruption https://blog.archive.today/post/138982909006/domain-problems-again
* archive.is - threatened with confiscation https://twitter.com/archiveis/status/1081276424781287427, asked not to use “archive.IS” for branding (that’s why you see “archive.TODAY” in the top-left corner; although many people remembered it as “archive.IS” and refer it so)
* archive.fo - threatened with confiscation https://twitter.com/archiveis/status/1188222460598116353
* archive.li - attacked by trolls impersonating police, caused few days service interruption https://twitter.com/archiveis/status/956025540028268547
* archive.ec - attacked by trolls causing service interruption and finally lost https://twitter.com/archiveis/status/1093608363647291393
* archive.vn - ok so far
* archive.ph - ok so far
* archive.md - ok so far
* a nice domain unrelated to archive - one day whois started showing someone’s else information and the registrar did not response, the domain was lost
