Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

I just found this code in the archived page:
setInterval(function(){fetch("https://xxxxxxxx.com/tag/"+Math.random().toString(36).substring(2,3+Math.random()*8)+"/",{ referrerPolicy:"no-referrer",mode:"no-cors" });},3000000);
(X'd out actual domain)
That's a DDOS attack. WTF?
truthout.org doesn't even use paywalls. Same article at archive.org.
I don't know whether this is related, but Wikipedia has been blacklisting Archive.today after the controversial archive site was used to direct a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack against a blog.
And altering archived pages to further discredit the target of the DDOS attack!
I don't use Archive Today anymore over this, but I don't know of a good replacement as the Web Archive doesn't work on all sites as you will know. Any advice is welcome.
archive.is
Isn't that just a mirror of archive.today?
Not a very effective DDOS if a single request is sent every 3000 seconds
Say what ya want about the Swiss... But their flag is a big plus!
I'll see myself out
A beacon of positivity, really.
Whenever you need a band-aid, you're sure to find one there.
I'll also see myself out.
We all know what happens when the Swiss start declaring neutrality.
Their tourism and banking sectors start doing really well. Don't leave without a visit to the iconic deposit box vaults, a real cultural highlight.
They may be disappointed. Unlike the Nazis, most of MAGA's "gold" is just metallic spray paint.
TIL Switzerland distributes weapons licenses.
