Internet Archive Alternatives?

[nobodyhere]

I was thinking about how KiwiFarms has been excluded about IA, and it's made me rethink my opinion of IA. As long as IA has the ability to exclude certain URLs from their archives, no website is safe from utter erasure.

So... are there any no-holds-barred archive networks you're aware of?

I think archive team has their own archive for some stuff - although you will probably need to download some torrent if you want to acess archived data.

What they archive is on a project-basis, so they don't have everything. For example, I believe they don't have any achives from Kiwifarms. I think they only archive stuff when it is endangered.

I mean running HTTrack on this website is not the hardest thing to do. When I need to archive specific page, I just use a Firefox extension called SingleFile, it create a self-contained HTML of a given page (meaning images are directly encoded into the HTML file).

Might I recommend the Hypnagogic Archive? It literally attempts to archive every piece of information ever created

Some would say it archives too much

Why not do it yourself? It may take a bit of wrangling depending on a websites settings but if I see an aging website, something interesting, etc. I do a simple wget command to get it all, make all the links local if I ever want to mirror a site.
