There was the attack on the Internet archive recently, are there any good options out there to help mirror some of the data or otherwise provide redundancy?
One option that I've heard of in the past
ArchiveBox is a powerful, self-hosted internet archiving solution to collect, save, and view websites offline.
Honestly that might be more helpful.
I sometimes see the overwritten reddit comments when searching for a topic, and I wish that the comment would link to the person's new account (wherever they may be) in addition to the usual blurb on whg they aren't active on reddit anymore
Well that's cool 😮
I was actually unsure about this one for a moment, but this is AI generated
The shared image appears on a Facebook page dedicated to “synthography art” – a term that refers to images created via artificial intelligence – and the logo “SA” appears at the bottom left of the Opera House image.
In reality, the easily recognised landmark is not on a round base with trees surrounding it, as depicted, but the narrow Bennelong Point peninsula.
The skyline behind also doesn’t match Sydney’s.
Still a very cool image
Reading comments on Lemmy / Reddit mostly. I'm not looking for the top voted answer but rather the points that people mention and considering what's important to me. If possible I also check with friends that might have purchased something similar
Overtime I'll use Reddit less and less, given that they're now actively telling businesses to take advantage of that effect. Old comments are still ok, but new comments are all suspect

What a mess.
I started using this recently and it seems to work pretty well. I'd love to know more about how they pick out the topics
Makes me think of this classic:
Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.
I'm not sure if I've seen this, is this about the pronunciation?
I miss this format

Story
On February 4, 2024, our team was alerted to a loggerhead sea turtle in distress, found floating in a kelp bed in the cold waters near Pedder Bay, about 40 minutes from Victoria, BC. The turtle, now nicknamed Moira, was in a critical state when discovered, prompting an immediate response from local authorities and marine biologists. This incident marks only the second time a loggerhead sea turtle has been reported in BC waters, highlighting the rarity of such events and the importance of swift conservation efforts. Loggerhead sea turtles are a federally protected species in the USA, listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act since 1978, underscoring the significance of Moira's rescue and rehabilitation.
