    Thanks, looks very promising! I'll dig into this the next time I'll need to archive a web page.

    I see that the author took a 'heuristical' approach for retrying tasks (having a predetermined amount of time a task is expected to take, and consider it failed if it wasn't update…

    Downloading a DB dump and crawling locally is possible, but had two gnarly show stoppers for me using wget: the forum's posts often link to other posts, and those links are absolut…

    Funny seeing this here now, as I _just_ finished archiving an old MyBB PHP forum. Though I used `wget` and it took 2 weeks and 260GB of uncompressed disk space (12GB compressed wit…

    Wow, that looks extremely useful. I typically use docopt for all my CLI needs, but it looks like this could be really nice as well. I will have to try it the next time I'm building…

    It is. As far as I'm aware issues like these are only problematic if you either manually run a workflow (it uses your credentials) or have a workflow with the "pull_request_target"…

    Yes. Here's an excerpt from their documentation on https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/m... >: > GitHub will automatically use GPG to sign commits you make u…

    Note that this post was not made by any of the developers but by a third party, and they chose the title.

    One thing some may consider "decentralized" is that you can self-host

    There's nothing wrong with it per se, in fact Discord is very good software, but it being a for-profit company using closed-source code comes with the usual privacy and free-softwa…
