Is there a project in the making to archive the chrome addons that are not manifest v3 compatible?
-
pabs

jeanmardn
looking for archived content from a website that was renamed and sold. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
-
katia
jeanmardn, do you want us to guess the name?
-
jeanmardn
Considering where I discovered this page... i'm guessing you're going to guess correctly
-
rewby
Where did you discover this place?
-
jeanmardn
I've searched every single URL snapshot
-
rewby
We do a lot of stuff
-
katia
i'll guess............ twitter
-
katia
because it got renamed and sold
-
rewby
Oooohh good one
-
jeanmardn
i'm looking for content from an old website, poetry.com which still exists under new ownership and it didnt transfer the data
-
jeanmardn
they basically stole everyone's shii
-
rewby
It'll likely be in web.archive.org
-
jeanmardn
checked there
-
katia
it got saved in 2014
-
jeanmardn
it's impossible to sort through it
-
katia
-
katia
again in 2023
-
katia
-
katia

-
jeanmardn

katia

-
katia
good luck

I've tried the international database of archives, wayback, archive.org
-
rewby
The wiki has it noted as "lost" so who knows what we did and didn't get
-
jeanmardn
yeah I saw the multiple attempts... if only I could search the archives for my name specifically... but no dice
-
rewby
Yeah no, that's not how we usually do things
-
jeanmardn
How do you usually do things?
-
jeanmardn
Besides archive.fart stuff
-
rewby
poetry.com is a very old project and things were kinda all over the place back then
-
rewby
But these days we try to do proper web archives and upload them to web.archive.org
-
jeanmardn
Yeah it's a hot mess sifting through their archives.... TBH I dont understand any of it but I figured i'd try reaching out. Thanks anyway
-
jeanmardn
Appreciate it
-
rewby
The thing with the wayback machine (web.archive.org) is you need exact urls
-
rewby
It does support wildcard matching
-
rewby
So you can probably try to do something with that
-
jeanmardn
Who remembers exact URLS from 2005ish?
-
jeanmardn
Besides maybe you guys lol
-
jeanmardn
no offense
-
rewby
A lot of websites are formatted like site.com/username/blah
-
jeanmardn
wildcard matching... like it hits on specific words
-
rewby
you can then match on site.com/username/*
-
rewby
Which makes the wbm return anything it knows that starts with site.com/username/
-
rewby
Classic example being geocities
-
jeanmardn
Alright. I'll give it a go...

-
OrIdow6
But yeah, or it was
-

-
OrIdow6
If you do want I can go pick thru that script/my logs for details on how it works
-
pabs
OrIdow6: might be a good idea considering what mannie said about manifest v2 going away
