Good grief, I only just noticed that the Wayback Machine browser extension adds not just a menubar item – it also adds a contextual menu. At least in Safari on macOS, if you right-click on a page, you have access to it there.
Occasional reminder that the Internet Archive provides a number of tools and browser plugins to let you send pages to the Wayback Machine (as well as check if a given page has been saved):
Harvard Library Innovation Lab: WARC-GPT: An Open-Source Tool for Exploring Web Archives Using AI
"...an open-source, highly-customizable Retrieval Augmented Generation tool the web archiving community can use to explore the intersection between web #archiving and #AI. WARC-GPT allows for creating custom chatbots that use a set of #web#archive files as their knowledge base, letting users explore collections through conversation." 👏
Remember this post of mine, a walkthrough of how to use Nitter, archive.org, and archive.ph to fully archive tweets (including tweets higher and lower in the thread)? https://kolektiva.social/ Well, since I made that post, two things have happened:
Archive.ph stopped saving archive.org captures of nitter.net
Nitter shut down
It's now just about impossible to properly archive tweets. You can still right click and save the page, and you can still use archiveweb.page, but they're so much less user-friendly and so much harder to share.
@mimo@netpreserve Quand nous parlons d'archivage du web, cela concerne en fait tout l'internet public. Nous essayons donc aussi de collecter une partie des réseaux sociaux, mais les applications rendent souvent la collecte complexe. J'ai essayé de décrire mon travail concernant l'archivage du web littéraire par exemple dans cet article #DLwebBnF#Archivageduweb#webArchiving https://journals.openedition.org/bssg/271
Vous avez des instances pour télécharger des archives de page web ?
Je voulais selfhost https://archivebox.io/ mais j’arrive pas à l’installer là et j’ai pas envie de me casser la tête plus que ça
Elon is planning to effectively kill social cards on #Twitter. Social cards were a big part of my dissertation work. I published a few papers about generating them via #ComputerVision, #NLP, and #MachineLearning because they make for nice bits of document #Summarization and #Storytelling. Now Musk wants them gone to force journalists to write articles directly on Twitter.
In 2020, we developed a special tool, MementoEmbed, for generating/extracting metadata from archived web pages. We presented this tool at the Web Archiving and Digital Libraries Workshop (WADL2020).
I recently moved from mastodon.social to hachyderm.io. I'm a Computer Scientist who moves between software engineering and research. I may post about code, papers, and conferences.
