Slightly edited "Why": Access to private property is an essential pillar of democracy and the safe proliferation of ideas. While property owners have legitimate financial interests, it is crucial to strike a balance between property and the public's right to access property. The proliferation of locks on doors raises concerns about the erosion of this fundamental freedom, and it is imperative for society to find inno…

This reminds me of the thread when 12ft was taken down. Does anyone have any insight into how it would take Vercel hundreds of hours of support time? https://twitter.com/rauchg/status/1718680650067460138

My assumption here is that affected websites sent multiple, persistent support tickets and engaged in back and forth communication, as well as updates to the client, support team contacting engineering/legal/management/meetings on how to deal with 12ft.

I have noticed that on a lot of websites, if you stop the page loading at just the right moment (you have to be quick), the whole content will display without the paywall. And that's without any external tools. These kinds of tools seem, of course, much more convenient.

Their policies have apparently… changed. They accept donations to not have your website bypassed. Archive.org is much better. Edit: apparently it is down now. 402: PAYMENT_REQUIRED Code: DEPLOYMENT_DISABLED ID: fra1::8wkv2-1699275385535-39dedae23d6a

Archive.today never fails compared to Archive.org or various browser extensions To remove paywalls 12ft<Archive.org<Archive.today is my opinion.

For those on mobile it was the opposite, since the archive sites only show you the desktop sites

Does reader mode work on archive sites?

Not sure what happened here but the end of that is chopped off. Trying to fix it:

  javascript:location.href='https://archive.is/?run=1&url=%27+encodeURIComponent(document.location.href)+%27'

I followed this drama on Twitter. The author was breaking the terms of service and creating DMCA support burden for Vercel. They had proactively been in touch with him a few times to reach a solution. I think it’s quite reasonable that they blocked the account rather than the project. You wouldn’t have got that level of service from big tech.

> I think it’s quite reasonable that they blocked the account rather than the project. I’m just responding to your last sentence: why would you go out of your way to say it is reasonable to block the account rather than the project? I can understand locking the account just as the “lazy default” but I would not call it in any way reasonable - but you did, so I’m curious. If that is reasonable, what would you consider…

It’s just a matter of opinion. I think Vercel were acting reasonably with all of the context we have. Things like terms of business are at the account level, not project level.

For some reason all the alternative "archive.XYZXDHWIQHDQ" type of sites always give me a captcha page, and I am never able to proceed. I'm assuming its to do with the cloudflare DNS, well if they don't care to fix it on their end, I don't care to use their service.

Copying my previous comment over because I found a fix that works for me: There's some issue with DNS over HTTPS, so you have to whitelist their sites in your settings, or turn off DNS over HTTPS (which I don't recommend). To whitelist, on Firefox: Hamburger menu > settings > privacy and security > DNS over HTTPS > Manage exceptions > Add "archive.is", "archive.ph", and "archive.today"

It has nothing to do with dns-over-https, it has to do with using cloudflare dns at all, over https or plain.

In my case I added override rules in my opnsense router so that archive.is .ph .today .md are all resolved by a different nameserver.

Disabling DOH can appear to fix it only in the happenstance case that the fallback plain dns doesn't end up using cloudflare, or doesn't use it first.
