Is there an open source package that the Internet Archive runs? What is it? I assume sites like archive.is run the same. I’d like to know if I can also run it for self-hosted archiving.

      Archive box is a piece of software and the Internet archive is a organization that is focused on predicting the content on the internet.

      The Internet Archive has PBs worth of data. I doubt any home user could manage that.

          Exactly. I’m already running a local wiki, but I don’t want stuff I link to in my wiki to result in 404 in a few years. Or worse, to some AI-ridden ad-infested dumpster fire.

            You can use something as simple as a browser extension like SingleFile that can automatically download complete, contained copies of anything bookmarked or only certain URLs.

      Oh yes, this looks like a winner. Thanks!

      It seems like it’s written in Python too, which means I can maintain it if need be.

      Oh boy I wish I had set this up many years ago. I wouldn’t have to resort to scouring !antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world for the top quality memes of the past when I need them…

      On a far side of the moon note, I wonder if ActivityPub could be used to federate multiple archiveboxes to create a more resilient Internet Archive alternative. 🤔 Then integrate that with Lemmy to autoarchive links from posts. Aaand lemmy.world ran out of disk space. 🤣

        a network between networks to make them more resilient i think you’ve just invented the arpanet?.
