Archive.Today starting to use Google's QR-based reCaptcha

#recaptcha #degoogle #datahoarder

The site has a few variant domains, unsure why, and archive.md, the one I'd been using, threw the QR reCaptcha just now, as per the attached image, while archive.today directly threw the good ol' "try to verify a dozen times" version.

The recaptcha may appear even when the user is not using a VPN if it grows suspicious, meaning the site may soon be inaccessible without bending to Google.

Are there any other archivers besides this and archive.org?

[–] Auster@thebrainbin.org 3 points 1 day ago

@TankieTanuki@hexbear.net there's that Australian one Louis Rossmann had found but that I always forget the name. There's Preservetube for Youtube videos. And one could argue RSS bots here on the fediverse are a partial form of archival, since they pull the title, some times the context from the blurb, and the link to show at least that it existed (also yet to find a bot post from a dead instance to test if they can be propagated after the instance ceases fo be).

Other than those, not familiar with any, sadly.

Yes, but I can't name them right now; but you should be able to find them online.
