A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Would you edit your post and add the following archive link to the body, please?
https://archive.is/VcoE1
Unfortunately, archive.is seems to have moved behind a big corporate CAPTCHA service, subjecting readers to having their reading habits (both the articles and the referring communities) tracked at a large scale.
I suggest this archive link instead:
https://web.archive.org/web/20250707135819/https://www.404media.co/the-open-source-software-saving-the-internet-from-ai-bot-scrapers/
How do you know this?
What about https://ghostarchive.org/?
Sorry; I shouldn't have written Cloudflare specifically. Their CAPTCHA page now contains scripts from Google, not Cloudflare. I have corrected my comment.
Because a couple months ago, archive.is/archive.today started showing me CAPTCHA pages instead of the archived articles when I use Firefox with scripts disabled. The current page contains scripts hosted by Google, which I won't enable, so I can't read the archived articles.
I haven't used that site enough to have a consistent picture of what it's doing. When I tried it a few minutes ago, it directed me to a CAPTCHA wall when trying to submit an article, but not when searching for an archived article. I'll try to remember to look at it again periodically, to be able to answer this question in the future.
Thanks. I appreciate the info and effort.
To be honest with you, I refuse on moral grounds. 404 are independent and do good work. You've already linked a pay wall bypass in the comments, if anyone would like to find it, it's not hard to scroll.
OK. Fair enough.
