Publishers have real questions about AI, but let’s be clear: The Wayback Machine isn’t a backdoor for AI scraping.
For 30 years, it’s been built for people, not bulk harvesting. We actively monitor to prevent abuse. Learn more ⤵️

As wealth concentrates, so does power — the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate.
Taxing billionaires is not radical.
What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship.
The "why don't they make the whole plane out of the black box material" of our age is "why don't they just use Claude to fix Claude outages?"

In my homelab environment I've had good success getting Kubernetes to run on x86 NUCs + a raspberry pi 5. It works pretty flawlessly except for some things which just can't operate on ARM, so you have to explicitly set an anti-affinity there. I'd say 95% of what I've tried to do has worked
I would love to start using ARM on our bare metal/on-prem deployment but I'm having trouble finding a go-to platform to use for it. Everything seems kind of halfway there at the moment?
Thank you Chipotle and Steak and Shake for securing my child's financial future!!

We are back. Our provider found and repaired a fiber issue last night and traffic has returned. We are sorry for the disruption.
The Wayback Machine, openlibrary.org, and some other archive.org functions are offline because some network gear has failed.
We apologize and are working on it. More as it happens.
There are no words for how evil this is
